Is it Really Love?

Love according to Webster is: (1) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (2) unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. According to the Wise Man Love is an Action word. How else to you prove a feeling unless you put it into action. I am writing this posting because I believe we rely too much on Emotion and "NO PROOF" of Love.

A family friend of mine volunteered for a non-profit group to give back to the community, therefore, she was on a mission of Love. Everything my friend, Trina did was because of her love for the community. The Director of the Outreach Program was very driven to make things happen, and Trina was her best helper. Although Trina was always there to help Ellen, others helped as well. Trina was as driven to bring Ellen's vision for the program into fruition as Ellen was to make it happen, which is what made them an unbeatable team. In every organization you have someone trying to move up, whether they are getting paid or volunteering. Now, Trina welcomed all to help unknowing that their need to be validated would start to pull her spirit down with all of the lies, back biting, and overt mishandling of her. Over the years, Trina and Ellen had become very good friends or so Trina thought. Ellen felt that Trina was only a volunteer, who served a purpose, and although Trina was helping her all the time whenever it came to reciprocating the loyalty that Trina had shown her.... Ellen never did that. Ellen was very disrespectful to Trina by never telling her anything when it came to Trina's job. She would never talk to Trina, but at Trina, Ellen even called a meeting with all of her top staff to make a major announcement that would affect Trina, but did not give Trina the courtesy of informing her in a private meeting first. Now Ellen could have just been an inconsiderate person, or she could have been someone who was trying to break Trina's spirit. Ellen's motives are only a part of what Trina should seek out. Now, many may say that Trina was loyal to a fault, however, being loyal is not the problem. Showing that you love someone, because of your common love for a work is not the problem. The problem comes when you "Make someone your priority, and they make you their option". Love is an action word, and Trina wasted many years showing love to someone who did not deserve it. However, the Love that Trina showed to the cause was and is a wonderful thing. Trina should make sure that she surrounds herself with people who are uplifting.

I believe that although you should always follow your heart and enjoy your work, Never allow anyone to misuse or abuse your love or loyalty. Guard your spirit, and keep up the good work that you do.... God will take care of all who seek to harm you. Dr. Wanda R.

Failure Is Not An Option

A "Scientists" only fails when he or she stops trying, everything else is an experiment, and one should be looking for the desired results. Each one of us should be looking at life in this manner. If you have ever given up you need to rethink that. Setting your goals and completing them builds character, and not completing tears down your character. Never give up, and KNOW that you will succeed if you continue to work at it.

Family, and Helping Others

I went to Mississippi this past week to spend time with my parents, and to accompany my mom to the doctor. My baby and I had the opportunity to go fishing, and enjoy the time we had to spend together. He has several video clips on his phone, so that he will be able to recap.

Family is very important, and while I truly realize this, I also realize something else. I realize that we help ourselves by helping others. So for all of you who can donate to help others please do so at www.aok19.org and help someone who needs help.

I also went to a softball benefit tournament yesterday and my brother played in the tournament, and they won first place. Acts Of Kindness has an annual sotfball tournament for Cancer Preventiin. We are in the process of putting together the Motorcycle Ride Benefit. The annual basketball tournament is always a major hit among the serious ball players. We are looking forward to seeing you all there this year.

To Be Coninuted Soon....

Family Love

I am so happy to have family like this. They are some very beautiful people to me. I have a brothers and a sister that I can tell anything and everything. (Not saying that I tell anyone "everything".) However, I am confident that I truly have best friends. My parents are so beautiful to me, and I speak to them all the time. I am not one of those people who can go for days, months, much less years, without speaking to my parents. I am going to reach out to them often, and go see them as much as possible, when they aren't visiting us.

This is what it is all about, a loving family.

We at Acts Of Kindness will be hosting workshops on family mending, blending, and building in the month of May, and if you are interested, go to out website and send us the information to let us know.

Tune in on Wednesday Nights at 8:00pm EST at www.Fight4YourMarriage.com to hear from two of our workshop presenters and make your family happier.

Another Day, Another Dollar

Another Day, Another Dollar is what we say, but how many of us say Another Day, Another Dollar donated to a worthy cause. How many of us feel BAD after we give to someone we know is in need? How many of us continue to say 'we all' do it, instead of 'I' do it and whatever it is isn't right. Yet when we do something we feel is good we say 'I' did it and it was good.

I want to offer all of us a challenge of taking responsibility be it right or wrong, but especially when it is wrong and watch how we will start to change the things we are doing and we know them to be a little less than honorable. Do this for yourself, and see how good you feel to be honest and truthful to yourself!!!!

I knew that I found my true love when I could feel his presence and yet he was no where around. My heart would skip a beat when he entered a room. No matter when he called, even if I were asleep, it made me smile. Thinking of him made him appear. Speaking of him, always put a smile on my face. Sleeping in his arms made me feel safe. Knowing that he has my back no matter what, and I have his.

When you are with someone that you trust and love without a doubt, you rely on them to protect, and care for you. I know I have this and it is one of the best feelings I have ever experienced.

Love & Happiness

Realizing that you are truly in love with that special someone is a feeling that fades only if it is not nurtured. Love should be like a fine wine, it should get better with age. In love there is not keeping score. In love there is no tit for tat. In love there is plenty of respect and understanding.

Have you ever loved somebody who makes you cry....

If you love someone you will give and take. Being with someone who doesn't do this for you, if so, it is really unfair. We want to talk about what it is like to truly be in love. Tell me what you think.
