And I still Love lemonade...

I have an amazing lemonade recipe that I whipped up one day in my kitchen. I don't drink lemonade that often but when I do, I like to make my own.. 

Lastnight, life served me a very sour glass of lemonade. While celebrating a close sister friend's 37th bday( btw, I'll turn 37 really soon), I attempted to return to my vehicle and it had been stolen! Right out of the parking lot. To make it worse, 3 other vehicles were broken into in that same lot( one right next to me) but they took mine. Out of all vehicles why mine? I mean I ONLY drove a Ford.. Lol 

I'm hurt, I feel violated and I'm so in my feelings right now. It took over 2 hours for the police to come and began the process of filing a report to recover my vehicle, which by the way if my truck IS found I do NOT want it back. 

As bad as I feel right now, my mind goes back to my 1st picture I posted for 2016. I said, I will live where I want to live, I will drive what I want to drive AND I will be married. Who knew by the 8th day of this month I'd be in this position. 

Last night as my sissy waited with me, I said you know I'm going to blog about this and you know I'm going to drag this county and their police department through the mud. But once I got home, cried and got my life together, I knew it would be absolutely wrong to act in that manner. It's not my character. 

My Lovies, as I figure out my next move( auto insurance contacted✔️, bank I'm financed with contacted ✔️), I'm reminded that the things we put into the atmosphere have a weird way of working on our behalf. Yes, I'm a little sad but I'm
100% confident that this is an absolute set up for something amazingly GREAT~ 

I'm beyond blessed to have an amazing group of sisterFriends who have already come to my rescue. They've let me cry and vent and they are walking me through it. Today, I challenge you to be open to allowing others to help you.. It doesn't make you less than during your time of need. It makes you receptive to others being a blessing to you.. Let me get out of this spot and go make a fresh pitcher of my amazing lemon/ lime mint lemonade. I can taste it now and it's going to be oh so great.. Yup, I still LOVE lemonade!!

I don't give A...........

Today was that day. If I worked for someone I probably would've flipped the entire desk over because I was in a I don't  give a...... Mood.( I don't give a f... About you or anything that you do... YES Big Sean, feeling a little thuggish).. 
 They say when something big is about to happen, everything small seems bigger than what it is... 

I've been in this place before. Frustrated and just tired. I think we all reach a plateau and then we start to wonder, "Is there more I could be doing"? I'm working on a few projects, blogging for a few events, upcoming Ebook release (yay,finally!!!), helping a few sistergirls with their projects and STILL running KISS. But I still feel I need to do more. 
What's wrong with me?!! Lol

I know, I know I can't conquer the world but some days I want too. Rome wasn't built in a day but some days I want to build endlessly. 

If I could just withdraw from the world for a few days and re-energize I think all of these frustrations would work themselves out. 

Today Lovies, I have nothing to say but this: Rest Well, Love Yourself, Fix what you can and the rest?? Let it work itself out. I'm going to take my frustrations out on the pavement and in the gym... There's no room for Part time punks. You're either strong and you're gonna fight thru it or you'll retreat.. I shall NOT lose!

Just 1 of those Days 😔
