Always work in progress........

The past couple of days have been CHALLENGING. Man, my emotions and feelings are little wacky.  I finally hit that emotional brick wall..SLAM!! I didn't realize that I put blinders on and took off going 100 miles per hour.  I never truly dealt with the situation of my domestic violence so I'm bringing out ill feelings at the most awful times. That was my conclusion... I noticed that I was focusing on the challenges instead of the blessings. Was I just talking the talk and not walking the walk? I need to let it ALL go. Let it go!

I am filled with emotions right now because everything I am doing to be a better me is working. I am recognizing the behavior & I'm trying to change. Half the battle is recognizing the challenge.  I volunteered at Church on Thursday and Saturday of this week.  I plan on doing some more volunteer work too.  I'm learning from my mistakes.  I learned to stop and see the positive from every negative. I learned that I need to work on leaving the past in the past.  Most important I learned how to listen.

 The research for the organization is coming along.  I will be a solution or option for victims of DV.  I am trying to get some information together for my book.  I would like to offer this..my personal email is jacquelineralvarez@yahoo.com if you have a story for thoughts you would like to share sent them to my email.  Let me know in your email if I can include it in my book and also paste them here on my blog.  I don't have to list you name, etc. just let me know in your email. I am looking forward to being part of the solution!!

I made a promise to myself the other day.  I said, "I promise that I will always be true to me.  I am committed to my journey and I will make this happen." We all have a higher power we turn to when we need it.  I decided I need it all the time and that as made a huge difference.  At this point in my life I know what I want and I'm on my journey to get it.  I strongly feel 2011 will be my year for success.  The skies the limit and I'm off!  It also helps to have such an amazing friend/boyfriend who makes me talk.
