I’m BBAACCCCCCCCKKK!
For the first time in about a month, I feel like myself. It is hard to explain, but I am slowly getting back to me and it feels GOOD! I have a group of friends who are AWESOME! I don’t think they really know how much they mean to me. It feels great to be surrounded by positive people at this time in history. We are truly destined towards greatness.
Barak Obama… I have to admit, I tend to steer clear of politics, but MAN it is indeed AMAZING to see what is going on in the White House. I will be the first to say that I am not supportive of President Obama because he is a black man, I am in awe and support for him because for the first time in the history of the Nation a President has been picked because he was the best candidate, regardless of his skin color.
The fact that Pres. Obama’s campaign brought together so many people (regardless of ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs) for change in the world is OUTSTANDING. He is proving himself to be of high intellect and intelligence daily. I am extremely excited to be around to witness this Movement in America.
Yes We Can (Did)!
I am excited to see what this weekend will bring… for the first time in years, I am skipping my usual Friday night Happy Hour. Drinking is not apart of my Fast… I didn’t realize how much alcohol had began to be apart of my life. I am not a daily drinker, but I tend to do it BIG on the weekends. I have really been inspired to cut the am biblical cord to my alcohol (weekend) addiction.
Pray for me ya’ll!
Dissection:
Between Pres. Obama getting it done in the White House and my path to righteousness, February looks like it is going to be a GREAT month! I have also committed to blogging more. A big reason why things have been so cloudy lately, is because I have stopped venting. Well…
I am BACK!
The End.

Growth!
Ah... Today is such a good day! I mean why wouldn't it be? I ended yesterday so refreshed and relaxed! I had the best massage EVER! I mean, she used the stones and everything. It felt so good to get that treat after a long couple of weeks. I am so ready to relax my mind. I must admit, I have been tripping out over things out of my control and I am done!
Jesus take the wheel!
On another note, I have recently started my fast and it has been a rocky beginning to say the least, but I am still encouraged and I must admit that things are coming together. I am letting it all go for the month of February... the drinking, hanging out, excessive eating and I am going to focus more on God and His plan for me.
I must admit, every since I hit 28 (a week ago) I have began to put my life in perspective more. I am getting closer to 30 and what do I have to show for it? Don't get me wrong, I have accomplished quite a few things in the last 28 years of my life, but I know that there is even more GREATNESS destined for me right around the corner.
Dissection:
I have lived such a wild and crazy life, doing any and everything short of crack and murder (LOL!). I know how to be a rebel and think outside of the box... it is time for me to perfect the righteous side of myself, that is the only way I can truly grow into the woman that God wants me to be. I will continue to be me and post about everything of interest. I am just too elated about my growth!
The End.

Back to the Starting Line
Often times people write a lot and actually convey nothing. I will not take up too much time on this post, because I am extremely tired, but I will say that I am back to the starting line. I enjoyed my life with out having to share a "title" with anyone. For the past two weeks, I have been in a relationship, and it hasn't felt like it at all.
I am so through with blaming him... my ex has always been the same person, it's me. I am always the first to say that I am good with being alone, but am I really? I have figured it out. In essence I am. I enjoy coming and going as I please with out explanations and not answering my phone or door if I don't want to. I am just not too fond of dating, so I tend to lean towards familiarity. Don't get me wrong... I love my ex... he is a really good friend. I just don't think we could ever really give each other what we are looking for in a relationship. We just love each other too much to accept it. I am starting my fast tomorrow and I am turning my full and complete focus on God. He is doing quite a work on me.
Dissection:
It seems that this is the only place I can truly vent. My situation is extremely unique... I want so bad to have a family the right way but; I'm not willing to settle and I want to ensure I have God's approval. I am a work in progress, but I know God is going to bring me through this process.
I promise I am going to write less about relationships... there is so much goodness going on in my life. You will be the first to know the details.
The End.

Emotions
So I am taking out more time to contribute to Da Lab. I mean DAMN… I have been gone for quite a bit. So much is happening in my life, I am getting a tad dizzy! So… basically me and my “EX” got back together. I initiated the reunion, now I am feeling a tad “weird” about the whole situation.
Let me first state, that there is nothing wrong with him. He is the most adorable person ever, and just plain out “him”. I have no complaints with people who are free to be themselves. We have such a connection, I am just not sure that we want the same things out of life. I think that both of us are extremely happy with who we are and have a HUGE affinity for each other. There are just certain thing that are EXTREMELY important to me, that doesn’t exactly top his prority list.
Let’s See…
1. Spirituality is of EXTREME importance and I want to share mine with my whole family. I want us ALL to be involved in church and incorporate God openly into our everyday life. (His “spirituality” view is more individualistic- which is fine… just not for me in the long run)
2. Commitment is a MUST… the fact of the matter is I want to get married and I want to have a family… NOW, I am not too keen on being a permanent girlfriend, I am a grown woman with a young child. (He really doesn’t want a “life” commitment… he is perfectly content with loving and caring for the person he is with from a distance. He views forever as a long time)
3. Being Pampered… ok…ok… I know this isn’t a must but it is important to me, and I am not ashamed to say it. I want some one who will take care of me mentally, emotionally, and financially. Don’t get it twisted… I am not a “gold digger” I have been on my grind for the last almost six years handling my business for my son. I have currently started to work on me, ensuring an AWESOME future for myself. I just want to be put in a position where I am with someone who adores me enough to spoil me (and I will “take care” of him too). (He believes in every person for themselves unless you are a blood relative- don’t get it twisted, he does have my back when I absolutely need him and I am grateful for that- I just personally feel “weird” at the thought of him “pampering” me, because I know it is not something that he is comfortable doing)
Dissection:
I guess those would have to be the main issues going on with me (and my relationship) currently. I am not sure if I rushed in too fast or not. I just missed my best friend. It’s just that when we were apart I found out some more things that were very important to me. I am giving this my best shot with no regrets. I am living each day as it comes and I am continuing to work on not worrying about the future.
It’s all in God’s hands. I promise I’m not crazy ya’ll! Just figuring it all out!
The End.

Rai Day!!!!!!!!!
So… I am indeed alive and since I have created an inspirational Weight Loss blog at www.slimmingme.blogspot.com, I have definitely been neglecting Da Lab. Please don’t give up on me! I am making it my business to post more… I am going to be a “nut” for the next couple of months, before I start a new “personal” blog.
Well…well…well, it is 24 hours before my Birthday and I am indeed TIRED! I have to tell you all about it, where do I start…
Party Number 1!
Rai’s Pre-BDay Party!
This past Friday (Jan. 23rd) a dear friend of mine Bird was nice enough to open his house to myself and over 20 high school/college friends. We had what I would like to refer to as, “Drinks and Dialog”. The men and women wrote down issues and they were read and the other sex had an opportunity to comment on how they felt.
Shortly after that… tons of fun was had. There were recreational activities, both mental and physical along with an extreme amount of laughter. I mean, it was like we were in college all over again. People were dancing and laughing. Everyone forgot about their troubles if only for a moment. All of us are all grown up now with kids and everything; it was so good to see everyone “let their hair down” and have a good time!
Pretty soon everyone crashed… this brings me to the next morning. There were a total of eight of us in the house at that point and everyone was recouping. The three gentlemen (close friends of mine) that stayed over with us made the best breakfast. We had eggs, biscuits, bacon, and sausage and topped it off with fresh mimosas. Talk about a good morning… it was GREAT!
Myself and two of my friends that came down from Dallas showered (separately ;o) and headed to my house to prepare for my Official BDay Party (2nd)!
Party Number 2!
The Real Deal!
Salsa and Pink Roses!
Ok…as if Friday night wasn’t enough, we wanted to keep the party going. I had more friends/co-workers/colleagues meet up at a really nice Mexican Restaurant for Salsa Dancing and my big surprise. All of the ladies wore pink roses in their hair and we salsa dancing till our feet would move no more!
It was amazing to see all of the women (and men) interacting and having a GREAT time. We ate dinner, drank margaritas, and danced. It was such a marvelous time. I must admit though, I was a tad tired from the night before. I am not use to “partying” it up to that extent. I have been “dragging” every since.
As for my surprise… I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! It has been about a year since I was in a relationship, and I decided to do it again! I will tell you all about it in my next post.
Dissection:
Life is so funny… sometimes you get led an various directions, but it is so important to not forget where you came from or who loves you the most. I am glad I took the time out to celebrate my BDay with all of those I truly adore. God has blessed me to see another year and I don’t take it for granted!
The End.

ALIVE... AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok... I know it has been almost 6 months since my post, but I think I was scared in some weird way to start back posting. So much has changed in my life in the last half a year. I truly need to write a book. It would take a million blogs to really layout my mind set and feelings... I won't try to go there.
What I will do is speak from my heart. I have been on an extreme mission to enhance my mind, body and soul. I must say I am doing a pretty good job. Focusing on God, myself and Sun has worked wonders for me. I am also reaching out to inspire other women to enhance their lives as well.
Not to mention I am creating a new blog... don't worry... this blog will be around until April of this year, so I have aaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllooooooooooottttttttttttt of catching up to do.
Just thought I would bless this blog once again!
The End.

Beach Chronicles: Day 4
Whew... after a weekend full of ups... downs and in betweens, the last day of the trip is finally upon us! Corpus Christi was an indeed much needed vacation! Let's see... the last day of paradise began something like this...
Rise and Shine!
I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and P jump out of bed to take advantage of the beach one last time. I showered and did my hair (for the first time all trip) and headed out in search of food. This hunt led me back down to Pier 99 to take advantage of their delicious grilled chicken salad. After devouring it I headed back to the room. Guess who I bumped into? Jackson... he was stumbling down the beach with a coffee mug full of beer. Apparently I was supposed to meet him at a restaurant for breakfast, so he felt like he had been stood up. After being really rude and disrespectful, we split paths, he his way and I mine.
As soon as I got back in the room, guess who is knocking on the door? Jackson! He was extremely apologetic about his behavior and did not want us to depart on a sore note. I accepted his apology and gave him all my blessings with the whole rehab journey. We grabbed our belongings and headed to check out of the room.
After checking out, we headed by the restaurant so P could get her a meal before our departure.
Getting home by any means necessary!
After eating P and I realized that it was only 12:30pm and our flight didn't leave until 7:45pm. What would we do to pass the time? We decided we would try to talk our way on to an earlier flight due to all the drama we went through getting there in the first place.
We called a taxi (Raul- the same guy that dropped us off at the hotel on Thursday) and waited for him to arrive. After about 10 minutes we hear rap music blasting as Raul pulled up. We immediately knew it was our last little hoorah before our descent back into Houston.
We boarded the little green cab and headed to the airport.
Apparently the lady checking us in did not care about the drama we went through getting there and charged us an upgrade fee to take an earlier flight. It was all good because there was no way in HELL that I was waiting in the airport 6 long hours for our flight.
After booking the early flight we sadly said goodbye to Corpus and headed home!
Dissection:
I really enjoyed my vacation! It was extremely peaceful and relaxing. Life should be that easy always!
The End.
