Realization

This is what I want to blog about this evening. After spending about 8 hours at my day job,working with the most trying people in Los Angeles,answering the most ridiuclous,most petty things,but it pays the bills so somehow you look past it.But for how long......
     After work I went to a screening with a friend of mine.Great person.We saw a beautifully painful film titled,"The whistle blower". 
     This film moved me,and I don't cry in films but if I was sitting on my coach at home alone,my tears would be flowing.My heart broke for the characters in this film. You all need to see it.It puts your life in perspective.People always say well if there is a God then why does he let good people get hurt or why cancer, etc.I believe those angels are a reminder to check ourselves,when our heads are up our behinds.I know personally when I saw this film,I walked away feeling like a selfish,self absorbed human being,and I am not even close to that.We all do,me included get so caught up in our own personal fog,that we cannot see the world around us.How one word or emotion or attitude can change a persons entire day.I call it God's little reminders for me,when I have absolutely no patience left and I am behaving in an impatient manner to someone at work,then they say something nice or I find out something unfortunate,that's God kicking me in the shorts Little bit,and I snap right out of that selfish way.
     In the past few days,with the people God has put into my life I have put a lot of things into perspective. Realizing things about myself and who I am,and not being afraid to own that,in a humble way. I feel today's society lacks common sense. We also take many things for granite.Should it be when you lose something that's when you realize how good you had it or could have had it?I don't think so.My friend said something that I very much needed to hear.He said,"I need to just be still". Yes,I do too as a matter of fact.
     A woman at work today complained that she had to walk back to a department store to have something taken care of.Now instead of looking at the positive,like she has two legs,its a beautiful day,there is a beautiful fountain with a romantic bridge that takes you to that department store and there are starving children in Africa,nope she has to sit there and complain to me. People there are much  bigger things out there.So I leave you with this advice.Be humble.Be slow to anger,and quick to patience.
     At the end of the day will it matter? If it will then don't let the sun set with anger or disagreement. Always go to bed at peace,you never know what will happen the next day. Acknowledge the small things,in the end they will be the big things.

It is what it is

Today at work my coworker who made delicious chocolate chip cookies for us,and I ate way too many,he is such a sweet heart,said something that really help put things into perspective for me.Work was getting stressful,grant it I have not had a day off for almost a week,and where I work can get a little tedious. He simply said,"What do you want to do with your life,it's up to you". Now this is simple science and we all know we are in control but do we act in control of our life?Or do we shy away at times.
I also went to a super awsome mostly all black church this morning and it was so refreshing.I have always wanted to go to an all black church,I am half black at heart so....But anywho,it was such a blessing to be able to go to church with someone from LA.To be able to pray and worship and not be judged. Today I had a lot put into perspective. Life and what I am doing with it and how I am approaching it. All in all I am excited to have a friend to go to church with and not any church, a 99% African American church. That one % is me :)

Does anybody know how to hold my heart.....

Midnight in Paris

It was such a great evening.After work,the other night I decided to go see,"Midnight in Paris". I had seen it once before but I had to pee during it and missed a really funny part,I came to learn after seeing it the second time. It is one of my favourite movies.I went to the more quiet theatre in culver city, then to trader joes,got power berries,vegan choc. chip oatmeal cookies,some coffee and had mostly the whole theatre to myself.It was the 9:50 showing.It was such a pleasent evening.It was lovely.It was ironic as I just seated myself,middle of the front row section,where you can put your feet on the bar :) I received an email about a woman who married the Eiffel tower.Now I love paris but.....
It was a very themed Paris evening.
There is this old hotel,Culver something,when you exit the theatre ,I dont recall the name, but I would like to dine or stay there one evening.It has twinkle lights outside with flowers,and it is a old historic looking building.I have much on my to do list.:)

Consistency

Always remember who you are and hold that. Stay strong to yourself and in your heart. God will do the rest if you let him.
