Like many of you, I tuned in to watch the Bobby Brown Story, for many different reasons (I have not read

his book).  First and foremost, I wanted to see Bobby Brown’s life through the eyes of Bobby Brown.  I have read articles and seen stories told from the perspective of an onlooker BUT nothing beats a first hand account of a story.

Listen…by the end of day 2, I saw a piece of all of our lives in Uncle Bobby’s story.  I saw a life full of highs and lows.  I saw heartache, pain, and a man that has had to pick up the pieces and start over again and again. I saw someone that has loved and lost.  Someone that was full of life and wanted to enjoy every moment.

If you watched the series and picked through to determine which parts you choose to believe then you wasted your time.  We all go through trials and tribulations so that we can help others to see that there is victory on the other side.  Each part of the story built upon and expanded to another area of his life.  In the end, he is the sum total of every experience and a work in progress, still striving to get better.

I am grateful that Uncle Bobby brought HIStory to television and gave the world deeper insight into his life.  The story is told from HIS prospective and the wonderful thing about you telling your story is that no one gets to tell you what happened to you.

Be courageous enough to tell YOUR story.  The world is waiting.

Time passes whether we want it to or not, this is why it is important to “Stop and Smell the Roses”….

When you were a kid, you may have always thought tomorrow was a guarantee.  As you grew older, hopefully you noticed that each new day is indeed a gift.

Everyone should make it a priority to enjoy their life to the fullest.  This doesn’t mean do any and everything you think you are “grown” enough to do.  It simply means appreciate every aspect of YOUR life.  You have been given everything necessary to live a happy, fulfilled life.  It is up to each individual to live their best life.  Just because you can’t afford a trip to Jamaica, doesn’t mean you can’t take a vacation.  Even if you can’t afford a five-star restaurant, you can still go out for dinner.  The happiest people plainly love the life they live.  They are too busy living to dwell on what they don’t have.

Never take a moment for granted, LIVE LOVE LAUGH WITHOUT LIMITS…

My Chorus for Today: “Back when I had a little, I thought that I needed a lot.  A little was over rated, but a lot was a little too complicated.  You see zero didn’t satisfy me, a million didn’t make me happy.  That’s when I learned a lesson, that it’s all about your perception.”~India Arie

Life’s riches are not measured by material possessions…

I’m wealthy because my riches are stored up in relationships.  Those who deposit love, knowledge, wisdom, and time have ensured that I will never go broke.  As you go through life, you learn to spend more time appreciating the positive people in your life and ignoring the negative ones.  Those who deposit negativity have a purpose in your life but you should never reserve them a place.  The power of prayer can turn a negative into a positive so, keep praying and keep moving.

My chorus for today: “Count on me through thick and thin, a friendship that will never end. When you are weak, I will be strong.  Helping you to carry on.  Call on me, I will be there.  Don’t be afraid, please believe me when I say count on….”~Waiting to Exhale

My circle rocks!!!
