10 Things I've Learned in the Past Year

I know people usually reserve this kind of post for the end of the year, but since I have so much time on my hands, I'm doing it now. Just posting as they come and not in any particular order and some lessons are really just reminders...

1. The last person you expect to preach the gospel, usually will.

2. Just when you think you're as strong as you can ever be, something happens and you find you're just a bit stronger than even that, with The Lord's help.

3. If you really have change in your heart, and God has verified it, nothing can stop that change from happening, be it personal, habit, relocation...

4. Some folks should make it clear when they say "I love you" whether they really love you or if they're "in" love with you...since so many like that play on words.

5. Everyone who's gone natural, can't use the same products. You still have to find what works for you.

6. There are still people who love unconditionally. I mean love hard (thank you)

7. Your intuition isn't 100% correct. Sometimes you're on the money, but sometimes you get blindsided.

8. Just because you haven't spoken with someone, doesn't mean you haven't crossed their mind often. (Thank you for not forgetting me, I never forgot you).

9. Cooking soothes my soul.

10. When it seems like things are going haywire in your life, don't you give up, you keep the faith, you're about to get a breakthrough.
