dreams....
So, I just got back from my lunch meeting with my contacts at the American Heart Association, where we talked about the 1st annual Michigan State University Healthy-Heart student banquet, entitled "The Heart of the Matter"
The Heart of the Matter is my baby. What it is going to represent is my first real and true step of real leadership into the world of something that I am truly feeling called to do.
Have you ever had the feeling of be called to do something? It's odd at times...sometimes it's very hard to wrap your head around it actually. Sure we pick a major, we choose a career, have families...all because we want to.
But to feel 'called' to something is different. It's a different feeling. When you are called to do something... the feeling is so deeply embedded into your soul that you know it's exactly what God wants you to be doing in your life....when you know that if your entire world were to crumble around your and you were completely and utterly alone... you know that you life is still worth living because there is still that live piece of you being pushed to do what you know you were meant to do....
THAT is what to have a calling.
It's funny to stop and look at who I am now.... and who I used to be. *shudder* What I had to suffer to get here, I wouldn't wish on anyone.... but if she had to die...if it was written in God's solid gold stonebook of life that she HAD to die that May 28th, 2002 day at home with me... I am so blessed, privelaged and honored that because of her, I am 'called' to do and be what I am today.
I want more than anything to be married, have children, have my home... the sooner the better... but I know that if for some reason that isn't written in the stars, I'll be okay.
Why?
Because I know that because of me, so many other mothers will get the chance to watch their daughters get married, have children and have their homes.
And that, to me, is what makes life worth living.

Just a few words to those ladies out there whose confidence may not be where it should...always remember that:
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it’s suppose to be
And I know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my Lips, my eyes, I’m loving what I see
I’m not the average girl from your video
And I ain’t built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally,
Because I am a queen
