Now I know a lot of us has done a the right thing in life and listened to just about everything that our parents told us, But on the other hand there is quite a bit of us that has gone off on our own journeys to live a live of adventure.
This post is to those that decided to venture off and figure out the world...
I was grown up in a very tight nit family. We did everything together. My parents did everything in their power to protect my sibling and I from danger and bad influences. But out of my siblings I was the one that wanted to venture out on my own and figure out the world.
I have been through some crazy ups and downs, disappointing my parents, hurt friends, getting my own feeling hurt, you name it.
My parents where sad to see me make some of the decisions that I made but what they did not relies is that their prayer and God alone had his hand over me, protecting me, and the lessons that I was learning was for my future.
I can now say that out of all the good and bad decisions I made in my life that I was able to share my life experiences with others. It was so much easier to relate to others and then give them advice on what mistakes I made and how to avoid these things in their own lives.
Life is such a crazy journey...can you relate?

What are you worth?
-Something I read and had to share with others...
An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing closes that were quite revealing. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:
"When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and I up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them."
He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pears, and you should be covered too."
-Don't forget my friend that you to are worth more that Diamonds and Gold. You are precious and worth someone loving and treating you as such! :)
(Dedicated to my Mother that use to tell me all the time that I am worth more that Diamonds and Gold!!! Happy Birthday Mom...)
