"Back in the Day"

I find myself singing this more and more as I get older. *sigh*

conspire to INSPIRE.

I get so inspired reading blogs, my goodness, sometimes I feel like I'm not putting in my share of good reads. But thank you to the people that keep me coming back for more. There's nothing like it when you are stuck at the Dr's office, on your break at work or killing some time before bed while you have some silence after the kids have fallen asleep, to read what advice people have to share, GOOD ADVICE at that and FREE.

I know there's no such thing as learning from other peoples mistakes, but at least it gives HOPE, that yup, it's true, LIFE GOES ON...even after all the heartbreak, tears, backstabbing, shit-talking, loss of trust, I'm hoping you get the point by now...so let me end with this...

keep on writing the words of your heart and mind, through your fingers onto the keyboard, and PUBLISHING it for the world to see.

...cause you INSPIRE me.

Family Portrait

Trying to get a good picture with four kids is a hard enough task as it is...I think we got a pretty good one, well I don't like that I'm not smiling, but at least the kids are decent. :) So I'll take it.

words to live by.

the best things come in small packages.

Meet my godson Bailey a.k.a. BAILROC!

He's the little boy with BIG dreams! A passion for fashion and a love for DANCE, (just like me) heehee. :) Doing really big things right now showcasing his talent all over the United States. So proud of all his accomplishments and it isn't going to stop anytime soon. BAILROC is the GUZMAN's SHINING STAR!! We have one talented family I can tell you that much!

the face behind the mask.

Quick vent session, for my damn self!

I find it funny when I see pictures of a person or meet someone out at a club and think? damn, she is gorgeous!!Only to find out she was just really photogenic, or hiding behind a damn mask the whole time. Hey, sorry, but IF you look like a totally different person with the mask off, that isn't a good thing!

I'll be the first one to admit i love to wear make-up when i go out or on special occasions, but i feel that it should be to enhance beauty. I never never knew make-up could make ugly people look pretty. But i guess it does hold that kind of power!

what makes it funny to me is how these girls act like they are the freakin' ONE!! ONE OF A KIND, THE SHIT...Sorry for ya, cause you ain't! I'm all about being your #1 fan, but if you don't got it, you don't got it! hopefully you have that inner beauty to keep it movin'.

if you can't leave home without it, that can't be a good thing! i prefer to have mine on, but i am fine without it! Make up just gives me that up and up feeling...that "i feel pretty feeling". but i KNOW i am just the same without it!!

the end.

GO HARD or GO HOME

"Go hard, today. Can't worry about the past cause that was yes-sterday. I'ma put it on tonight cause it's my time."

(this song gets me so hyped to do better...those words in particular. GET UP, GET OUT and GET SOME)
