My take on Being Someone's_________

A smile can brighten someone's day

A helping hand can give someone  hope

A prayer can be someone's salvation

A thought can be someone's inspiration

A dream can be someone's adventure

A step can be someone's journey

Be someone's day and hope for salvation and inspiration for adventure on their journey. 


Thanks-------

Bobbie's Takes: Chance or Design

Chance or Design

When one door closes another one opens.  That is true in every case. There is usually a reason for  the people that come into our lives or things that happen .. by chance or by design.. 
Whatever the circumstance of that one door closing trust the reason though it may be unclear at the moment, is/was necessary for growth or some lesson to learn. We always fear the unknown of walking through that next door or chapter in our lives.but once we go through, we often find ourselves in a much better place.  It could be a new job, new friend, new house or new love. Each of us, right now, have just closed a door in our lives and most of us already know the next door/chapter to walk to and others of us are still seeking that next door. Don't look back .........backwards was a learning phase and only moving forward can we grow and teach.
All of our journey's we take can lead us to the path of being much happier and wiser and a life of no regrets... that is if we choose it... Embrace that new door and walk through without fear, you might be surprised at what you find.  

Thanks------

My take on Passion


Passion (from the Latin verb patī meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything.
The term is also often applied to a lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love – to a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion, a positive affinity or love, towards a subject. It is particularly used in the context of romance or sexual desire though it generally implies a deeper or more encompassing emotion than that implied by the term lust.

What are you passionate about or who? 

I am passionate about lots of things. I can tell you when I get on the things that drive my passion......  I am one force to reckon with whether it be in a good way or not so good way.

 I am passionate about singing, not that I can carry a tune, at this point, but love how some songs just take me on a path to some of my emotions. How some of the words can just take you to a tear or a smile.

 I am passionate about my modeling ......... love, love that all the hard work in the past has given me confidence and knowing that I am only 5'2... when I get on that runway.....I am 6' tall.. It's given me grace and shown me that I can. Now to say that none of you know who I am or seen me on anything, but watch out.....you will (gonna have to be some changes or me making some changes but watch out) . 

I am back into acting and love the new found passion I have for it. It's hard work and so far, I only represent myself, which is not that bad, I have gotten myself work, but I do hope to get an agent at one point. Now that I am older, I find it more fun than I did in my late 20's and early 30's. I submit, show up and do what is asked of me and I get to see a whole bunch of people that are there for the same thing as I and of course, get paid for it. 


 I am passionate about some movies and books.... those that can take me on a journey whether it be fiction or a true story, I love how I can imagine me in their place or time and take the journey with the author or the screenwriter.

 I have a great deal of passion on my faith. My love of God and the word of God is something I try to live by, without that one man on my side or either of our sides, we are lost lambs. Without faith in whatever your religion may be-- where would we be?  and don't get me started on my political views (usually gets me into trouble). The passion I have for my family and I have a huge family and although, we may argue and not talk for days, let someone go after one of them...

 I have passion for love.. you know that kind of love you have so deep inside that the mere thought of the person brings a smile and the sun shines a little brighter, words are a bit sweeter and you can't get enough of them. How when they look into your eyes, you get it? You can feel them touch your soul and it's more than any physical touch can ever be.

  I am passionate about my work in massage therapy. I love how what I do makes a difference to another person. How it helps them mind, body and soul. They (clients) come in with an ache or pain on neck, shoulder, back or lower back  and I do what I do best and I can tell you when you love what you do and know what you do, you do make a difference to so many.  

I am passionate about my causes such as animal abuse or abuse of another human being. I have given up my home to many of god's smallest creatures, saved a few from my cats. It breaks my heart to see someone abuse/mistreat them. And as for the human kind, I have been a Victim's Advocate and sharing my time with helping them through one of the worst times in their lives is a feeling you can not can describe. It does a heart good.

This year, I intend to get more involved with many of these and finally face my fears and have my voice.

Whatever your passion, show it with conviction but with class and grace. 

Thanks-----

Our Gift of Life

As I grow older, I find that life is a gift.. A gift that only comes once. We are all born for/with a purpose and it's in each of us to seek that purpose. Some of us want fame and fortune, while others seek fortune, some strive for being the best of the best and others just want to get by...

 Nothing is terribly wrong with any of us wanting and wishing. It's how we get there. Some care nothing but for themselves; stepping on others and using others to seek what they want (we all know a few in this category) while others only give of themselves; whether it be time or money. Is there a happy medium?  I am not sure, quite a few say there is, but I have yet to find that happy medium of juggling between what I want as to what is best for me. 

Someone told me while I was in there office in Tupelo, one day, that she could see that I was brought to this earth for greatness that I am bound for the spiritual  rather than secular. I have thought about that over the years and still don't know (exactly) what she meant but I think I am figuring it out.  

 I've been fortunate enough to be most anything I have strived to become, maybe not in such a  way that I have seen myself to be, I have done lots of things that I normally wouldn't have done as in travel by myself, get on stage and sing in front of hundreds of people, even become a victim's advocate. See as a young girl, I was always scared of many things didn't want any attention on me, I felt that as long as I was in the background, I would be overlooked as if I were invisible. Luckily, I grew up and found and still finding my way--- a late bloomer, so I have been told.   I say all of this not to dissuade anyone's dream of being that famous, wealthy actress/model/writer or athlete or maybe be the best singer in the world. That's why we were born, to become whatever we wish. We are all unique, all of us are God's creation, not one of us has the same ears or same fingerprints but we all have the same functions in our bodies, heart, lungs, etc.. It was said many years ago, that our lives have been planned out for us before we were born in that Book of Life. True or not? It's not for me to say or ask, but I would like to think that yes, I am born but what path I choose or have chosen is mine(my choices), whether to learn or grow and mainly mistakes but these paths have made me who I am today.

   So, what if someone only wants to be a mom or a wife or someone wants to just work in a factory, as long as they are happy and maybe at their "happy medium", who are we to judge? Not all of us want and strive for fame and or fortune and that's okay too.  Those that connive and go up that corporate ladder on the backs of others will have their own cross to bear, maybe- if those people have a conscious.

Our lives are a gift we should and need to cherish each day. As parents, we remember the birth of our children and say what a blessing this little gift is...........   well, it is....... Life is a blessing within itself, yet some of us feel the need to take our gift and use it --- abuse it--- even try to destroy it.  I speak from experience; I have used, abused and tried to destroy my life and finally find that it's within me to make whatever greatness, I am to become and do it with honesty and for me.

Take care of this gift, for as we all know---We are born to die and dying is inevitable for all of us. Let this  gift of life guide you to your greatness, after all we are all a precious commodity; we are worth more than gold.
