You changed my life

This is all it took, 5 individual letters put together to name my change. At first, I did not think it was a possibility, I went through denial, this can never happen to us I said, you're overreacting I thought, fear I felt... But when it was confirmed it was the easiest thing... It was perfect, he is perfection. Ethan, my gorgeous nephew was born January 27th, 2013. The wait was over, 9 months seemed to fly by, and he was finally here! He was 7lbs 11oz, and a beautiful slice of heaven. He, aside from my niece, were the two things thus far that have made me shed tears of joy, rivers of joy actually. The instance I walked in after what seemed to be a mortifying event, I find this little miracle waiting to meet me. My sister had a very complicated pregnancy, it was a roller coaster in itself, but all of that faded the moment I looked at this precious gift of God. We were afraid he might not make it, he was almost wrapped up in his umbilical cord, but quick thinking by the Dr on staff allowed them to get him out on time. Ethan is my change, my reason for change, my desire for change. This little boy who will grow to be a little person is inspiring and he doesn't even know how to speak yet! Yes, a little person, he will grow to be one of Gods miracles. I'd like to tell my friends and anyone else that may come across this, I have no shame, I'm not afraid of what people may murmur. There is nothing wrong, or anything to be sorry about... Ethan will grow to be different and we all know different is beautiful and wonderful, it is exotic and puzzling... I invite you to be happy for me, my family, and many others out there in our new found community. Dwarfism awareness is the first step, I would have never thought I'd be so enthusiastic but I am, and I'm very proud. Ethan and I would like to remind you to please refrain from using hurtful words like midget and instead substitute it with something more fabulous like little person. We also invite you to refrain from making fun of anyone in our community you may come across, because they are also someone else's nieces, nephews, daughters and sons (we're positive you wouldn't want to be made fun of either). Ethan you changed aunties life, for the better... You are my treasure!

"Feminism is the Radical Notion that Women are People"

Definition: Feminism -refers to movements aimed at establishing and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.


Found how important the notion of feminism is these last couple of days. Ive been around many who forget their value, their importance, and come to ask the infamous "why?!" 


Answer: Its the actions of individuals, the lack of mental strength, constant banter that turns sour, and just the co-dependence factors...I, luckily, walked away from something so crude, and recall how difficult it was...it swallowed a portion of my youth and needless to say I don't regret a thing. That person who once stood so proud, that person who I once pictured as 8feet tall, who was glorious and like no other is the very same person I see now as a weak, uneducated and a miniscule molecule. I grew from that experience, and let me tell you its not at all easy when you're spinning in webs of lies, so all of you enduring this I applaud you... 


Note to Self, Note to Women, and Note to Anyone: Self Worth<---recognize it, embrace it, glorify it, remember it!
And I mean that in all aspects, Conditional & Unconditional.....Recognize the you factor in your life...no one dictates where you stand, where you've stood or where you will be in the future but yourself! Learn to love yourself as much as you love the others in your life. Throw up your white flags, give into yourself as an entity in its entirety...you lack no puzzle pieces, remember that whatever adds onto your life is just a decorative border...not really necessary because you can still clearly see the center picture...and as long as thats clear, you can add onto it later if you wish...

Interesting stories call for interesting facts.

I realized last night, as I had always had a hunch about...that there are always 3 sides to a story. The thing I learned though....is that within that single story can spring to life 5 opposing views..... Sample this if you may, Story #1 car and bus collide.....Story #2 CAR: bus could not see me so hes at fault, Story#3 BUS: car was being wreckless (truth,1st P.O.V, 2nd P.O.V)....here comes the not so tricky part.... View#1 car accidentally hit bus, View #2 bus accidentally hit car, View #3  car was wreckless, View#4 bus was wreckless, View #5 both car and bus were at fault. We fail to see the bigger picture as humans, we fail to recognize View #5. We become biased...and we continue to practice these feelings and choices on a daily basis. Whether in the media, work, or self.... we always have to point the finger or confirm the accusation... We become fixated on solving the problems or being the solutions that we get lost, and in turn lose reign of self control. Quite interesting.

"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance..." -Oscar Wilde

       I find it difficult to remember where it all started. To know when life became a struggle, when desire became greed, and where love became dependence. Its a difficult task to take on, trying to comprehend this world and its many faces. It is difficult to truly understand whether or not your view is remotely close to whats occurring. I've begun to see that viewing the world through your eyes is never enough. The millions of people that surround each tell a different story...a story of struggle, poverty, wealth, health, disability, anger, hatred, love, despair, and we only know of a fraction of its magnitude. We are swift to cast our judgement on the actions of others, we point fingers, blame ignorance.....all the while avidly practicing it. We forget to love oneself, therefore making it impossible to accept any other.
