Good Girls Bad Things
My friend always talks about this show so much so that she has gotten other people interested in it. Her own daughter, friends , her boyfriend. She speaks very highly as the show of which I had never even heard of before, I did not know what it was about in the least , but now she has turned another person, me . This show is a very addictive TV series that is on Netflix.

Great Love Stories For Valentine's Day
This Valentine's Day ,one of the best romantic movies that you can watch is "The Notebook". "The Notebook" is a very romantic movie that you can watch anytime. However , when I first watched it with a man, I watched it on Valentine's Day as our first date and I thought it was kind of perfect for Valentine's Day, at least it was for our relationship. What I loved about it was I really thought Allie and Noah were just the cutest . They had this relationship to where they could joke around with each other and they made each other laugh .Oh my gosh could they fight, but after all the time that they spent apart they could end up back in each other's arms and is that not what a loving relationship is all about ? Fighting, spending time apart , but being able to just come back together. That is the same reason that I like to watch the choice on Valentine's Day .

First Love Is It Real Love?
What did I know about love when I was seventeen years old or twenty-one years old ? Twenty-four years old or thirty? Let us be honest what do we know at even forty years old about love? Love is always changing, Love is always growing, Love is always difficult and hard , but it is also so rewarding when you find the right person that you can love and be in love with for the rest of your life. Not everybody has that ,not everybody gets to spend Valentine's Day with a special someone . Some people go to a bar to try and pick up somebody just so they can have a date on Valentine's Day . Let us be honest do you know everything about love? Nah, I do not either, my husband does not, my best friend does not, her fiance sure the hell does not, my father sure does not, trust me if he did he would not have been married four times . I will tell you what I do know though . I know that when you find somebody that you are willing to go through the darkest of days for, when you find somebody who you are willing to go through all the bad stuff with that person instead of being with somebody else because it is just easy, that my friend... that is love. When you are willing to put up with shitty behaviors and in-laws that do not like you, kids that do not like you , that is love. Maybe you are a step parent and you have step kids that do not like you or your spouse's sister or brother do not like you, but you stick through it for that person that is love.

First Real Love How Do You Know?
When I was seventeen years old I thought the guy I would marry ,the future father of my kids was already in my life. Is it not funny when you are seventeen you think you got it all figured out? When you are twenty -five or thirty you realize you were just a kid and had no clue at all about real love. I thought I was with whom at that time was to be considered my first love , and in a sense he was . I did truly care about him, but he really was not my real love . The feelings may have been true, but it was not true love. It was not the kind of love that burns deep in your soul.

Amanda's Break-up Playlist
Breaking up is hard to do, especially if you are married and you have to face the facts that you are now going to have to get a divorce. You are going to have a failed marriage and break your family apart. Even if you are just a young couple that breaks up it can be a really depressing time . You want to curl up in a ball and just die or you want to cry your eyes out curled up in a little ball. You do not want to leave the house , you just want to sleep or maybe you are not eating maybe you are eating too much. Everybody grieves in different ways, but what I have always found therapeutic is to have a break up song list . I think that music really heals and it can be uplifting and so when I am having to go through a break up the one thing that I try to do is listen to my music. The music that can help me get through the dark parts of a break up so that I can see brighter days . Days Ahead that are going to be filled with less pain , less hurt. It is going to take time to get over a break up , especially if you are married and have to get a divorce and if you have kids involved, if you have been together for a long time , or if you were living together at the time. This is a really hard not just on you physically but mentally and emotionally aaswell. This is my list of songs that I listen to whenever I'm going through an especially hard breakup ,which fortunately for me I have only experienced a couple of times so I feel very fortunate that I have not had to go through all the trials and tribulations that some of these other women have had to go through. I can , however say say that the few break ups that I have been through have been kind of horrific and from people that I really truly did love and care about , that I was even friends with . That is sometimes even harder is when you are not only romantically involved with somebody who they are also very good friend of yours too. My first serious boyfriend that I ever broke up with I felt like I lost a lot with him because he was just my boyfriend , some guy that I lived with, he was also a really good friend we had a lot of fun together. You have to laugh you have to find something that gives you enjoyment because if you don't and if you can't get your feelings out , you will never move past them. Then every day until you could get over that breakup you are going to be in the worst shape that you could possibly be in and you can not heal that way. So next time you are facing a heartbreak listen to these songs and maybe they will help you like they would help me. Just remember you deserve better, you are worth better and you will find it someday.

Do Men Ever Know What They Want
Men absolutely do not know what the hell they want or what they do not want, you can not win with men. One minute they want you to be a fierce, sexy, temptress and then the next minute they think you are flirting with every guy you see as if that means you are acting like a slut or dressing like a hooker. They tell you that they want you to be their queen, but then they do not treat you like their queen . They treat you like you are their property or you are their trophy, but they do not treat you like you are their queen, they do not treat you like you are the best thing that ever happened to them. They want it to be their way or no way. Many times they want a strong independent woman who is not going to be a gold digger who does not want them for their money who doesn't want them for what they can do for that woman ,but then they act like that woman can not do anything by herself like she has to ask the man's permission, has to ask him what her kids can do and when her kids can do it If she can hang around certain friends, or if she can spend money , if she can buy these items men do not know what they want. As soon as they get it they do not take care of it. Men do not understand that women are like flowers. You take a flower and you plant it in the garden, but is that flower , is that rose or lilac going to grow with out sunshine and with out water to live or they just going to die right there in the ground? These men, they chase the women they get, the women that they forget .These women are delicate flowers that they need to give love to ,that they need to let see the sunshine so that they can grow. That give them water so that they can flourish and they can stay healthy and alive until that day that woman wants to take that flower out of the garden. We are flowers ,men, we are beautiful purple lilacs. We are big red roses you can not treat us like a monster truck. You need to treat us like a purple lilac ,you need to give us love and care and appreciate us and not treat us like dirt. Do not treat us like we are whatever slime at the bottom of your shoe do not treat us like we are your punching bag, treat us like we are something that you love ,l we are something that you care about. Treat us like you actually appreciate us and what we do for you. Especially men that are incarcerated. Why is it that you guys are the ones that really treat us the worst? We could have any of the men out here in the free world ,but yet we choose to be with you. That does not mean that we choose to be disrespected or that we choose to be treated like crap. We choose to be with you because we love you, we appreciate you, we need you. We choose to be with you because you are our husbands, you are our kids father. You are our best friends. We are flowers men... treat us with love and care. Give us water, give us sunshine, and most of all give us credit for what we do for you . Give us support and respect and I promise you that you are not going to lose the one person that you claim to love. You are not going to lose that person that you claim as everything to you, not if you can take care of your woman like she is your flower.

Words Of Encouragement
You are worth it. Your circumstances that you are in right now do not have to define your future. Just because you are in a bad place now does not mean that that is going to be your forever. You are smart. You have achieved so many things, not everyone could have done all of the things that you have done, not everyone could make it through some of the things that you have made it through. You need to have faith, you need to have courage, you need to have hope. Your mind is a scary place to live. You are our own worst enemy. You have the power to have a better life. You have the power to not fight with your spouse, you have the power to be a happy person. You have all of these good things inside of you just waiting to come out, you will have a good life. Things may seem bleak right now, things may seem unreal and torturous and you may think that your life just sucks right now, but there is someone out there that has it worse than you do. They need your support to get through what it is that is keeping them stuck in the past and keeping them from moving on to have a better future. You need to be an inspiration to others. There is always rain before the sun comes out shining even brighter than the day before, but it can't rain every day. The sun will come out tomorrow you'll see a rainbow in the sky, you will understand that you have something to be thankful for. You are loved. You are appreciated. You are strong. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. You can make it through this darkness, you can make it to brighter days, You can have a bright and glorious future. When I think of you, I think of greatness, I think of someone who is strong and willful. You will move past this, you will achieve better things in your life. You will become a brighter, happier, lovely person. You will see the brighter side of things. You will see that the grass is not always greener on the other side and that what you are doing right here, right now, today at this very moment, is exactly what you were supposed to be doing, so that you can work towards having a life that you want to have. You can make it. You have willpower. You have friends that will stand by your side, you have family that loves and adores you. Look to your spouse, to your kids, to your family, to your friends for the love and support that you crave so deeply. Know that you are not alone know that you are appreciated.Know that you are needed. Know that you are cared for. Until you realize that one of these days there are people in your life surrounding you with love and kindness.An admiration that will help you get to that point to where you see it inside of yourself. They will help you realize your goals. Realize your potential. They will be your number one fans when you finally achieve every goal you have set for yourself. You absolutely do deserve to have an exciting, joyful, wonderful life and you will have this life. You will have love. You will have friends. You will have someone by your side, you will have hugs whenever you are depressed or down and whenever you reach that place to where you can let others know when they are in a dark spot how to get out of it you will know that you truly can bless someone else's life. Don't ever give up hope.

My Amazing Mama
The woman that I must admire in life, is the same woman to taught me how to be me. She is the one who to taught me how to love, who let me know that it is okay to cry, and who gave me values to cherish. This woman who is no longer among the living is still alive in me, she is very much a part of me, she was and still is… my Mama.

My Proctor, My Mother
I was dating this guy and he was acting all kinds of shady, which was not like him. He had my state ID one day and I forgot to get it from him before he left or to ask him about where it was and he had just left . I was with my mom and so my mom drove to where he was going so that I could get it back. Later he called me and asked what was I doing around 1 am because he wanted to drive somewhere and talk. We drove out to Walmart after he got off work I guess so I wouldn't make a scene like a crazy person when he insulted my mom. Well, he asked me why my mom was following him like a crazy person. That pissed me off .He was mad because my mom drove where he was and he felt like she was following him so I asked him if he was doing something that he needed to be followed for and he said no .I was like why you gonna call her names when all she was doing was trying to get your attention so I can get my state ID? Which she did try to get his attention at that point Did she not trust him? No and she had never had a problem with him before so this was a first time kind of thing. I left and didn't want to talk to him because I was already not trusting him by the end of that night. My mom made jokes about following him saying if she was following him he wouldn't know it. And he wouldn't have.

How We Didn't Divorce
I was at work today and a lady and her husband came in for lunch. It was their fifty-nieth wedding anniversary and they do not live by a Fazoils, so when her husband asked her where she wanted to go she was thrilled to drive the forty-five minutes to come get our breadsticks.

"Maybe He'll Notice Her Now"
If you are a fan of Mindy McCready, you have probably heard her song, "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now." I have long liked this song, as well as Mindy herself as a singer. She had an amazing talent, and her songs always touch the hearts of her fans.

It's Ok to Release Toxins
No one wants to have toxic people in their lives taking their joy away or making them unhappy. But what do you do if the very people making you unhappy and plain miserable are the ones that share your blood? How do you walk away from your family? What do you do if they keep bringing you down?
