"Things on My Mind and Things Going On"

There is always something, going on somewhere, with someone. If it isn't something to do, there is something to say, somewhere to be, something that should've been done, a loss that should've been won.

Acquiring and maintaining a disposition of happiness is a solid choice. Solid in the sense that you are firmly planted and refuse to be uprooted by situations, circumstances or the misery of others that are desperately trying to keep you company or desperately trying to get you to keep them company.

We all have something that has our attention and in spite of the "less than" components of that "something" we choose to Smile in spite of.

Although we might not have a particular say or choice in what Life puts on our plates, we do have the ability to garnish our plates and our surroundings as we see fit, with every say in how we do so.

So, with the joy that I have in my heart, I may have "Things on My Mind and Things Going On," but I am so happy right now!

"Officially Special"

Those roads are oft times long and arduous. Superficially, the pain seems to outweigh the rewards. Gradually, doubt seeps through the cracks, thus jumping on the descension bandwagon, aiding the already present gravitational pull. Everything appears to be weighing you down.

The only way to become fresh and anew is to shed the dead weight and skin of the old and tried.

When we have exhausted all possibilities within ourselves, we always have GOD up our sleeves, should we be so inclined to use HIM, especially since we already know HIM.

Having gone through the rigors of trial and error, we begin to rectify the errors of our trials by acknowledging WHO is at the helm. The first OFFICIAL step in the right direction, which had zero multiple choice answers because it was the ONLY selection.

I quiver at the notion that nothing could be possible if HE was not acknowledgeable.

For all of my future trials, I have sought and received better counsel with an associated retainer that is 100% negligible, an outcome that is 1,000% believable, goals that are 10,000% achievable, joy that is 100,000% reachable, and a Love that is 1,000,000% obtainable.

Having previously said and done things in a "less than" capacity, my heart is all too happy to acknowledge and document those mistakes, learn from them and move on in a "greater than" capacity.

And now when I touch and feel your hand, I am able to better understand, all that ever escaped me, in its relentless pursuit to replace me.

As our embrace is intertwined and interlocked, it is indicative of just the right spot, that timing and opportunity has afforded us to fill the voids in each others lives in supreme complimentary fashion.

The length of those roads were shortened by understanding. The reality of the rewards far outweighed the perceived and realized pain. The holes of doubt were plugged, thus jumping on the ascension bandwagon defying gravity with an undeniable glow that has patiently awaited our return.

It is now, "Officially Special."

"Let There Be No More Doubt"

I Love you now,
I Love you later,
I Love you there,
I Loved you then,
I Loved you when

the storms were raging and I was facing the wind,
I was embracing the struggle to secure us the win.
Proactive by nature, protection is all I've ever known,
You don't wait for the storm, before you weatherproof your home.
Every Smiling face is not a friend indeed,
But a humble Spirit, shall always move within me.
I trust my gut, my intuition guides my stride,
Humility 101, I no longer choke on my pride.

For all of the tomorrow's that shall simultaneously create our future and past,
I Pray that every experience is better than the last.

From this day forth, "Let There Be No More Doubt."

Thank you Mother!

I Love You Both!

"All About Making Decisions"

Should you get divorced?
Should you ever get married?
Should you have children under either one of those two circumstances?
Should you quit your job?
Should you take the newly offered position?
Should you take him to court to sue for that support?
Should you speak your mind even when others are blind, to the fact?
Should the proactive ever coexist with the ones that strictly react?
Should you go for that advanced degree?
Should you tithe exactly 10% or as you have been prospered?
Should you have another child?
Should there be only one income, can your family survive?
Should you stave off those hunger pains and FAST anyway?
Should you attend Church Sunday morning after a long Saturday night out on the town?
Should you get your ex a Mother's day card?
Should you get your ex a Father's day card?
Should you act on EVERYTHING that you acknowledge?
Should you expel negative energy or continue to dance around its flying darts?
Should you Smile in spite of?
Should you frown because of?
Should you continue to give of you when all they do is continue to take from you?
Should you donate to charity?
Should you seek out more clarity?
Should you hide behind the truth?
Should you live your Life in transparency?
Should you put "you" first and "them" last or "them" first and "you" last?
Should you remind people of all that you have ever done?
Should you fill up that gas tank now or wait until later?
Should you hit the grocery store before you scoop up the kids?
Should you wait until you run out of underwear before you start a load of clothes?
Should you allow yourself to lose, so they can feel what it is like to finally win?
Should you Promise something that you know you will have difficulty in delivering?
Should you shovel your neighbors walkway when they barely even speak and have never done the same for you?
Should you speak louder to the person that pretends to not hear you at all?
Should you attend the awards ceremony even though you are not being honored and you feel contrary?
Should you Praise and thank HIM in advance for all of your Blessings in which to come, before they have even arrived?

What would you do if you had not one to make? How would Life be for you and me?

Life is..."All About Making Decisions." The type of decisions that you can comfortably live with for the rest of your Life.

"Negative Energy Multiplied by Zero"

A good friend of mine once informed me that "energy is never lost nor dies, it is just transferred."

The TYPE of energy being transferred is irrelevant to the transferring process. But the caveat to that TYPE lies in the fact that should the energy be negative, nothing positive but the removal of that negative energy can and should take place.

When someone is unhappy in their own space and place, be conscious of the space that you share with them so that you do not subject yourself to the negative energy that will transfer itself from Point A (which is them) to Point B (which is you), subsequently screwing up the remainder of the alphabet.

People that are positively strong in their own right understand the power of persuasion and recognize the opportunity to convert the negative to positive by multiplying it by zero. The answer is easy.

People that are negatively weak in their own right and lack the understanding of the power of persuasion miss the opportunity to convert the negative to positive by multiplying it by numbers greater than 1. The answer gets more complicated.

But, thanks to simple mathematics, positive will always add up in the end, canceling out the negative energy that would otherwise have its way with you by way of division.

Multiply the negativity in your Life by zero, thus canceling out the obstructive nature and potential that it "could have" caused you and your Loved ones by simply allowing it to have been transferred.

"Negative Energy Multiplied by Zero," results in the same impact to your Life. The answer is easy.

"Your Life"

Borders, property, territories, lines and even figments of your imagination. No one or no thing has control over you, but you.

How you so choose to live the Life that you have been Blessed with is a unilateral decision, unless of course that decision has a direct or indirect impact on the person or people that you so choose to share in your Blessing called Life.

We should all feel so lucky and enormously gracious that out there, someone, somewhere is willing to share their lives with you, with me, with us.

The uniqueness in such a Blessing that someone would be so inclined to share in with us is the fact that such a Blessing is bidirectional. Worth repeating: "The uniqueness in such a Blessing that someone would be so inclined to share in with us is the fact that such a Blessing is bidirectional."

When you make the decision to share IN with someONE, your decisions are no longer unilateral. They ended the day that you made your decision. The approach to this would suggest that simultaneously we agree that we are now unilateral-free and through all possibilities we shall henceforth live bidirectionally.

In theory, I just described perfection. In reality, I just described anything but.

It is hard enough to unify two opposite ends of the spectrum, but even harder for them to coexist if they are reading for the same part yet with different scripts.

Both have achieved successful auditions for the part, only to be separated from two different scripts, not of the same heart.

So, who is to blame for the scripts not being the same? Who gets the part to play the starring role in your heart? How do you and me ultimately become "we," if we can't even decide how to live bidirectionally?

How you so choose to live the Life that you have been Blessed with....

When you make the decision to share IN with someONE....

Whatever you ultimately decide, it is indeed the Blessing commonly referred to as, "Your Life."

"Stronger, In the End"

I am thankful to GOD for the full use of my limbs.

I am not waiting for GOD to put my left foot in front of my right foot and my right foot in front of my left foot and walk on my behalf.

That is why I am THANKFUL to GOD for the FULL USE of my limbs.

When I get up everyday and put one foot in front of the other and proceed to walk, I am reminded of the fact that it is not only a Blessing to have the FULL USE of my limbs, but to have breath in my body, air in my lungs, sound mind and a joyous Spirit with enough wherewithal to know from wince all of the aforementioned originate.

I have zero input into the output of GOD's Blessings. The role, the position, my purpose is to put one foot in front of the other and to live, to give of myself in a capacity that would be in the image of an image that I have never seen, but have all the Faith into its existence.

I may be weak under normal "Corey Circumstances," but my subsequent strength has an undeniable source that garners the attention of what would otherwise not pay attention if it all began and ended under normal "Corey Circumstances."

I am humbled at the mere "thought" that I would dare be so bold as to think that my complete success had everything to do with me and me alone. Such a boast against GOD shall not be rendered out of Corey's mouth regardless of ANY "circumstances," normal, Corey or otherwise.

All of the painful, hurtful, intentional, deliberate, misguided, malicious, accusatory, poisonous things that I have ever encountered in my Life, have all strengthened me, giving way to my extreme THANKFULLNESS to GOD for the FULL USE of my limbs, thus making me "Stronger, In the End."

Happy Birthday to my wonderful son!
