Girl # 2 - The way men look at me

A stranger standing pose
At me dared to lift up his nose
A penetrating stare
On my neck I felt his exhaled air

From the distance he zoomed in on my skirt
With eyes so fixed
What could he possible missed
Was he lusting, flirting
Swearing, wishing or dreaming

Like the shining sun upon the skin
His stare sunk deep, deep within
I then took a gaze
And my, my I was amazed
This stranger choosing to look at a woman
Was not quite a boy and not quite a man

With one glance
I quickly calculated his chance
His hands seemed rough
Hair twisted and curled
Face looked good enough

In my mind lingered random thoughts
My attention he caught
Though not my type
It doesn’t hurt to be nice
So before my meal I buy
I ventured over and said,” Hello” and he said, “Hi”

Who is affecting you?

Sometimes our lives can become absorbed with those who are affecting us negatively.
Quite often this is the case and is usually someone we resent and wish would go away.

Today, take time to acknowledge that your life would be much different if certain persons were not in it. The people who make living more worthwhile and getting out of bed so much easier are the ones you should allow to affect you the most.

Take a little time to really reflect on who is affecting you and how.
Answer these little questions, who cause you to do it most?

1. Become upset
2. Cry
3. Become discouraged
4. Worry
5. Feel bad

a) Laugh
b) Smile
c) Be hopeful
d) Think
e) Feel inspired

If you had jot down your answers on a small sheet of paper then you might have noticed how some persons name appeared more than once on your list. If not, that’s ok too. But having the same person appearing more than once is a good indicator of who is affecting you mostly.

Now, the area you are most affected in will depend on you. If it was easier to answer questions 1 to 5 than a) to e) then you know the negative influences are weighing down more on you.

Our lives are touched by the people we meet, our family and friends or even a total stranger in the street. I always crave the touching, heartwarming moments than I do the disturbing ones. I do not make room for the negative energy.
I do not make myself a magnet for negative and disturbing influences.

Having completed this exercise myself, I did two other exercises you may also want to consider.

Firstly, I rid myself of the disturbing encounters and persons who are magnets for attracting unpleasant encounters. Soon I was happier and I felt more fulfilled. I also had more energy to help and empower those who really wanted to be helped.

Secondly I took five minutes to let those who have touched my life in one way or another know how much they mean to me. Five minutes of gratitude, five minutes of thank you and appreciation, five minutes of, “I love you’.
I was strengthened and they too were strengthened from receiving those wonderful compliments.

If you are being affected by others and you dislike the person you are becoming, then it is time for you to take back the reins. I talk more about this in my upcoming book, “DISCOVERING THE GOLD IN YOU”.

You must remain in control of your life, it is then and only then you will be able to give it to your Creator. Walk well!

When I am alone at nights and have no one on whom I can call…

You deserve it…No need to be apologetic

You have been in the same job for so many years and you feel as though it is time you move on, but the thoughts of leaving only make you feel guilty….Don’t be apologetic about it, you need to move on. You deserve it.

You have been wishing all your life for a partner who would love you and cherish you, making your life so much more worthwhile. It has started to happen. Now you are so happy and daily you are experiencing joy like you have never experienced before. Don’t fight it, let it happen. You deserve it.

You have wanted to make a change for the better for some time now.
You have been through a lot and cried many times too. God heard your prayers and is now ready to give you your heart’s desire. You are at the brink of a great change, a great time. All the stuffs you’ve detested are removing them selves from you and the type of people you love and admire are coming into your life.
This is your time to live and be free, your time to be happy.
Don’t be apologetic about it. You deserve it.

I watched my eight-month old son scream for stuff he wants, then upon receiving it he instantly become confused and not sure what to do with it. In the same minute he wanted it, he has refused it. As grown ups, we are not much different sometimes, we wish and long for that which when it arrives we are not sure what to do, we become confused, fearful and even resistant. If what you’ve always wanted starts to blossom and bloom, then it is time to sit and enjoy the beauty of it all. Don’t fight it, after all you wanted it. No need to be apologetic. You deserve it. God knew it and that is why he did it.

Is it love at first sight?

I looked at her, saw love in her eyes
So I made a loud sigh
Asked myself why
Then went over and said, “Hi”

She told me her name
Her face questioned my aim
I seemed just too tame
But oh! She was enjoying my game

They say love doesn’t show up at first sight
So I guess this must be ‘like’
Oh my friend can you tell
When you look in another’s eyes

Can you tell they like you
Do you know you like them too
We chat a while
Then we exchanged numbers and parted with a smile
