Christianity

For a number of years, I claimed that I disliked Christians and the entire Christian religion.  After a while, my mother became fed up with my choice of words, so she informed me that I didn’t dislike Christianity – I dislike the zealots.  And she’s right.  I dislike zealots of any religion. However, I had …

Do Good

For those of you who have been with my blog for a while, you know that I believe in paying it forward.  I believe we can make this world a better place one small random act of kindness at a time.  I believe that our best selves want nothing more than to create love and …

Returned To Me

I’ve been trying to figure out what the whole thing with Mr. Cuddles was for. There was no doubt that he was supposed to be in my life. When my Higher Power told me I had to get rid of three guys, but I was to keep Mr. Cuddles, I knew there was a reason. …

One-Eighty

Huh. I didn’t expect this. I knew my life was going to go in a different direction, but this isn’t the way I expected it to go. I had planned on moving away from men completely for a while (okay, not completely – Mr. Socks liked my idea of casual, regular hook-ups). Apparently, my Higher …

Know Thyself

I saw this on Facebook today, and it reminded me of one of the phrases I hold near and dear: To me, the short version of this is “Know Thyself” which is a very important concept to me. After all, if I don’t know myself, how can I be my best self? I always think …

Need to Specify

A bit ago, I blogged about a prayer which was answered too well. I had requested to find love, but I wasn’t specific. I didn’t specify that I wanted to find The One, my soul mate. I’ve found love, but it has costs and it’s complicated. That’s not what I want. I’ve found company in …

Worked Too Well

For those of you who don’t know, I’m fat. I’ve been working on losing weight, but it has been a slow, arduous process, with its ups and downs (quite literally). You might not also know that the majority of men don’t like fat women. Even fat men refuse to date a fat woman. Huh. Okay. …

Close-minded Zealots!

This morning, I was cruising through Facebook. I have a wide variety of friends from different countries, races, sexual orientation, and religions. Yes, even I have a friend or two who are zealots. Usually, one of us ends up unfriending the other because of a post we find offensive. Today, I was pretty close to …

I Give Up!

I’m done.  I can do no more.  I’m giving up on this book! Well, at least for tonight. I just realized that I’ve worked on my book for four hours today.  That’s one hour more than I slept last night.  That is probably why I’m having such a hard time staying focused.  I keep trying …

Faith with no Action???

So, I’ve heard the phrase, “God helps those who help themselves.”  I’ve been mulling that over today. Here’s the problem – I’m looking for a big-girl job (duh).  God doesn’t help those who don’t help themselves, right?  I can’t just sit back and expect a job to fall into my lap (although, I’ve gotten two …
