The Encounter......

The Encounter Began as I sat alone trying to unwind after another routine filled day . Today the routine was broken. You came, with your smile and warm personality. As time moved on we talked, shared, laughed and the next thing I knew a repor was being built.

Time ticked by so quickly that night amazingly it felt like I had known you forever then it would come the time to part ways. Restoration filled my heart . A genuine soul has arrived.

The Encounter Continued I took that chance we talked about and left it up to Karma for guideance of where this path would lead . Never did it cross my mind that it would lead to a beautiful world that you had created. We opened our hearts, removed our guards and created an unbreakable bond.


My mind was silenced from asking Why? How? What if?. Day by Day I felt my connection with you stronger and my heart opening. Thinking of why you came into my life? What would happen if I let you walk away? The distance didn't matter as we were bound together by something more stronger than miles. A connection of two genuine souls hearts of gold shining with so much inside to give.

Time ticked away, days passed by......

The Encounter ended the day we had to say goodbye. You had an obligation to yourself and pride began to tear us apart. I could not bear the pain of seeing you face the challenges of life alone but respected you enough to understand and let you go.

Each day passes I wonder Why? How and What if? I am consoled with the memory of a beautiful being that blessed my life. Karma has decided that it is best for you to leave my world. Now, I try to create a new journey through life. Your guiding light still shines so bright and helps me through the long days and lonely nights.

It will be "Me and You against the world" like we always said.

Our worlds now divided when once they united.

Office or Trailer Park?

Another weekend has passed and here I am preparing for another long week at the office. The good thing about this week is that I am going to go and see Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz what a way to end the week. So Monday can't come sooner.......

I work in the corporate filed and like any organization we have to follow corporate ethics. In fact our company has designed a code of ethics that one must follow.

There is nothing ethical in the department that I am embrased to be a part of. I may sound a little dramatic but as the story unfolds you will see where I am coming from. We all work with a variety of people some we tolerate others we run to avoid.

Lets talk about the liaison in my department ( catchy job title isn't it). Your thinking demanding high profile person. Yeah right!
This is the person assinged to represent our area to our outside and internal clients.

This person spends the work day coming in for a work day of 6 and a half hours during that time she runs around the office looking for any gossip she can get her hands on and when there is a dry spell in the department of gossip she spends her day cursing, swearing and passing gas( yes passing gas LITERALLY) no matter who is around she makes Trailer Park Boys look like The Lawrence whelk Show. Some are amused others are just repulsed by such piggish behavior.

I have decided to rename the role as The cackling Hen from the Trailer Park.

So the next question is why does management allow such inappropriate behavior. I will tell you why cause we are lead by a feeble weak unrespected person. The feeble Weak Minded Engine That Could who looks to the Trailer Park Hen for Shelter.

Our leader spends the day airing out her dirty laundry to anyone that will listen and in my opinion is failing as her role as a leader any normal operation would have shuffled her off by now. Myself and others spend the day running back and forth trying to catch a moment of her time in between her personal phone calls so we can discuss business afterall that is what I am paid to do. Which makes me raise the obvious question what is is that she does again?

So you can see why the Hen from The Trailer Park is allowed to carry on with her tactics. Maybe our company wants to maintain an equal opportunity workplace in that case they should hand her a all access pass to the looney bin.
That would be an equal opportunity for her to get a real life.

It makes me sick to be linked to people who have no respect for themselves or anyone around them.

Until something better comes along I have to sit back and laugh.....
The time will come when the Hen and The Little Engine are taken back to the trailer park with a one way ticket out the door.


That's The Real Deal

Relationship Rollercoasters

The Relationship Rollercoaster is a ride that we have all been on in our life from one time to another. This can be a really fast ride for some and for others it is a ride that people stay on for the rest of there life.

For some it starts off really fast and firery, and for others it can be a very bumpy journey in the world of relationships.

We can look at this ride from several angles

Expectations: For some we want so bad to find Mr. or Mrs. Right and tend to confuse goals of the relationship with expectations and build a mould for a perfect relationship. Don't get me wrong it is ok to have goals and direction it keeps things going forward which keeps this at a healthy sate but sometimes we self create fantasies of the perfect relationship and try to live them through our partners and when it does not happen frustration anger and resentment takeover. This can lead to controlling dominating situations that can infest a relationship with toxic venom due to self created expectations that lead to even bigger problems if it is not taken care of early in the relationship. With a goal the difference is you and your partner discuss your goals of where you are and where you want to be. As a team afterall that is one of the defining traits of being in a relationship.

Commitment Some of us may ask these questions when is the right time to commit? If I do not commit will I loose the person? No of course you wont but if you commit to something that you are not ready for the sake of keeping the relationship going then inevitably you will end up resenting yourself and your partner and it can scare your significant other off because of the pressure of commitment. It should come naturally and not seem like a task.

When the moment is right it will happen there is no set time line on when someone should or should not commit. This should simply be left up to timing, chemistry, connection, and ones future goals. It is very easy to overlook this due to pressures from family, society and friends they tend to cloud our judgment and the focus shifts from the two people involved in the relationship to fufling society and family expectations. For example you know that feeling at Christmas when grandma or mom says when are you going to settle down......Get married and give me some great grand kids....... Then the panic button goes on cause you have heard this for four Christmas straight.

Just smile and tell mom and grandma all in good time and then think long and hard do I want to spend the rest of my life with this person or do I really want to date one person and only one and if there is even a bit of hesitation don't do it cause you are only going to give into temptation and hurt yourself, your partner and family.

Lust and Love: Some of us confuse these two and think they are the same thing but really they are so different. So the question is when do I know I am in love
the way you can test yourself is by asking: when I wake up do I think of that person, when I have a bad day do I think of that person, when I am sad do I look for that shoulder, when I want to tell a joke do I pick up the phone and call and when that person is not around do you feel less whole if you are answering yes to most of these questions then yes you are feeling the true signs of love and really the true test is if you can't give yourself 100% to the one who gives you 100% then you have to love them enough to let them go.......There is no point in giving half when the other is givin you 100%

Lust on the other hand is that feeling of being in love, desired and the fear of being alone you create a vision and scope out people that have the same vision as you it really is a craving of desire to try and feel love, wanted and appreciated because there is a huge void in your heart and nobody has come along to fill . Some create images of the ideal mate which is not the problem. The problem is this is a fictional feeling that we dream up. If it is love everything in your soul and being will guide you to it


We have been ont his ride from one time or another just think of it as planting a tree set the roots, keep it watered see it grow and fill it with passion love and honesty and watch it blossom into a something naturally beautiful. Once you reach this point the relationship rollercoaster comes to and end and you come off it and go on another journey.

The Journey of Love.
