University Of Phoenix
This is my second week or orientation to the Univeristy of Phoenix. I can't believe that at age 47 I am returning to school. I just turned 47 this past December 2nd and I have to say that I am excited about the prospect of earning an Associates degree of Arts in Psychology. My official classes start on January 2nd, 2012. I'll be taking 2 classes, each for 9 weeks. It will take me 2 years to achieve my Associates. I am really looking forward to this even though it seems a bit overwhelming at times. I think the big thing is that it's been over 20 years since I've been in school and that is good in a way because I feel more focused. I think I will use my time better than I would have or did when I was in High School.
This is an endeavor that I am looking forward to. I have not told a lot of people because I feel that might put undue pressure on myself to do well because then I will feel as if I am being watched to see if I succeed. So for the most part I have kept silent about this new adventure and will be silent until I have at least completed a year of schooling or at least the first 6 months.
I'll keep anyone who is interested up to date on my new adventure that I feel I will be successful at. :)

Still In Love
I still love a man that does not love me in the sam way............... Do you have any idea how much of a hearbreak this truly is? I keep trying to slip away so I can heal but he won't let me go~! I'd have to hide from him. Should I do this? Does anyone have any advice for me out there? I could really use some sound advice. I keep getting told that I just need to get rid of him but then tht means ending a friendship that is truly important to me. Sigh................what am I do do?...........................

December and The Holidays.........

On December 2nd, 2010 I turned 46! :) I honestly feel like 26 but with the wisdom I have aquired over the past 4 decades plus 6 ;) I had a great time for the first time in many year on my birthday. Good friends were around and I was blessed to get a free Chiropractic Adjustment, which was awesome!
I love this time of year and I also don't like this time of year. lol I have been alone for the holidays and my birthday, until this past one, for almost 6 years. It gets old ;) My family lives on the East Coast and I am on the West. Finances prevent me from being able to go home and visit my parents, who are now 80 and 81 years of age. I have not seen my Mom in 10 years and I believe I saw my Dad about 8 years ago. We met in Galveston, Texas; his birthplace. He was being honored for all his Lifetime Achievements. I was and am SO proud of him :)
I believe I am also a bit on the lonely side. I am so content and feel empowered for living alone for as long as I have but I truly miss the company of a handsome, male companion! :) This Cougar needs to meet an amazing man that wants to be loved and to give love. I am comfortable enough to not just get a man for the sake of having one. I have watched a few females go down that path of doom. I would rather be alone than be with the WRONG man. Oh, I forgot to mention that it's Christmas Eve and I am home, alone, in my apartment relaxing with an awesome feline named Missy whom I have had the honor of taking care of for the past 6 months.
I am actually having a nice time, but it would be so much sweeter holding the hand of or looking into the eyes of someone I care deeply for or love.
I actually think I am beginning to let go a little, of Daniel. I feel it.
He sent me the most amazing Christmas card. It read: 'There's Only One You' -->(on the inside was) "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" "You're truly a wonderful person. And life couldn't have given me a more beautiful gift than you."~~~~~~~~~~ I was awestruck! For those reading who don't know, Daniel is my best friend who I fell in love with, and YES, you guessed it. He does not feel that way. We have an amazing deep friendship that I cherish more than words can say, but I do love him. It is what it is and I think I am accepting that he will not be my lover. He won't tell me that, when I ask him to directly. A bit confusing if I were to choose to read a fairytale into it :) Regardless, Daniel is a true gift and a blessing in my life and I can't see my life without him in it! Our bond goes beyond words and I believe beyond time. ;) *I feel a Chant coming on ;) *
Well, while I continue to work on myself and look within, I will be ready for when my next great love to come into my life. I believe that I will be ready mentally, physically and spiritually to have an amazing relationship :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND BE SAFE, BLESSED, AND FILLED WITH JOY AND HAPPINESS!
BLESSINGS

Heartache/Pain/Inability To Let Go (Part 2)

Heartache/Pain/Inability To Let Go
Not sure how to feel or what to feel........................ I made the mistake of falling in love with my best friend and a man who does not find black ladies attractive. Since the world sees me as an African-American female, this was a killer fact to find out about someone I gave the title of "Best Friend" too! Turns out his nationality of choice are Latinas and Asians. SIGH.............. I am shit out of luck! I still don't understand why God would send this man into my life. Yes, he has helped me tremendously on my Spiritual path but why the cruelty of knowing that this is the kind of man I have always wanted! To know that he'll never love me and that I was written off because of my brown skin is difficult. It also feels like a punch in the gut because I have only dated White men. But I do find attractive men in all races, I just have always been drawn to Caucasian men.
Is this some kind of lesson? I don't like it! How am I supposed to believe someone else is out there for me when I feel I have met the love of my life in my best friend? I have cried so many tears over this! I just don't know what to do! My heart is so broken and It aches and I am so very hurt on such a deep level. I feel as if I need to let go , but I don't know how to do this! When I mention to him that I should go, he makes me feel like I am throwing him away! Does he not see that is how I feel???!!! As I type this, the tears run down my face! This happens often.......................... I'll continue this......... I need to try to sleep! I am so very sad and I don't know how this will ever be right for me!??
