You Can’t Buy Love

It is given

It is sharing

It is enjoying

It is feeling

It is caring

It is observing

It is pleasing

It is showing

It is engaging

It is loving

It is received

Foresight

I had spoken with this connection a few times earlier.  He is also from the eastern world.  Sometimes I’m not aware of how they connect with me, either from LinkedIn or Google plus social networking. They pretty much connect to me and I often accept; as this is written in my statement; “Taking a stand to hear your VOICE in the world.”

We had earlier spoken on our careers and he is in the clothing business as a merchandiser and owner in the garment industry.   We exchanged many pleasantries as I often do; and then this came by as a surprise to me.  People are actually visioning how far I’m to go.  And this is not the first one to say these thoughts, only differing ideas.

THE INTERVIEW

How’s the clothing line?

“Good.  I miss u my friend.”

It’s been awhile.  It’s my early 4:21 am, still sleeping, then I plan a trip to see my Dad…so can’t talk today.

“Ok, take care, bye.”

(TWO WEEKS LATER)

How’s the clothing factories? Yes, these days I look to see where they were made!

“Will you start clothing business?”

First I need a best seller…then have more goals. Nice of you to ask. Lots of dreams to finish. You like my fashions?

“Yes”

What I’ve been wearing?

“Skirt”

Thanks.  Yes, I do too.

(Sends me a smiley)

Simply made too.

“Hmm. What are you doing now?”

Soon to be in bed, my sleep time.

“I am just starting office.”

Almost 11 pm; yes, I know.

“If you will start clothing business, I will help you.  I will supply clothes from Bangladesh. Cheaper price.”

You will need a pattern, right?

“Yes.”

And small, medium and large sizes

“Yes. Also need purchase order sheet. Size wise quantities.”

Yeah, need my dreams fast; I could employ lots of future workers.

“I wish your success.”

Me, too.

“You also need to transfer LC through bank to bank.”

That all comes when I get money from my book…then other steps follow.  My connections see a future in me…even you did.  Like a future foresight…interesting.

“I will be with you all the time.”

Is this all possible from God?  Seems as though it’s foretold.  Even you knew my slight dreams.

“Dreams will come true, if this dream is pure.”

I know I’m living God’s will of my life.  It was never me to direct my life.   Actually, it’s been more of a vision… a direction I must attempt to reach.  I read the signs.

“Ok, Carol, you need to sleep now. Now midnight there”

Have a good day. Bye

“Bye, take care. Good night.”

IN CONCLUSION

True friends will always think of you…want the best of you too.  Many times they offer to help out, make suggestions, or just take the time to be with you and chat.  What we tend to do for others can have a lasting effect; and it makes you a better person as well.

My 5th Year of Blogging

I’ve had visions that led to this day

I have always been an author of verse since after high school

I have kept many writings in a file system through the years

I have remembered looking at the file and longing it to be seen

I have seen a vision of my cross necklace embedded on my brick red top

I have been writing and commenting in social networking

I have decided to open up my website and display my writings

I have noticed within a year; the value it held to people

I have received many voices to continue with my writing

I have been asked if a book goal is in my future

I have collaborated with others’ voices into my verse

I have seen a vision on my car’s frosted window (back of driver)

I have yet to aim for that final accomplishment; work still ahead.

Many things are possible with the will of God for your life

Have a Happy 2016

Life doesn’t always go as planned-

-You were in the hospital

-You didn’t get the raise

-You had a breakup

-You were not promoted

-You faced an obstacle

-You lost your employment

-You need more finances

-You didn’t get the job

-You have a terminal illness

-You suffered a loss

-You began to lose hope

Remember, it’s also in God’s plan.

Protests Linger On?

We heard your message loud and clear

That very first time in our state and others.

You are being careless about obstruction

Of justice and trespassing in the public.

Use your approach the smart way; rather

Than to constantly "cry wolf.”

Are you coming up with the education and

Ideals that will make a change for the better?

How about your dignity and common sense?

Do you have plans for a town hall meeting?

Try having discussions in the proper place

As a society it works for about everyone.

Inspired of protests on police cases;

At the Mall of America and MSP airport

On the busiest shopping and travel day.

With Christmas Love

   

The brightness of the sun

The midmorning of the day

The parking of the vehicle

The warmth of the coats

The fashion of the boots

The coldness of the air

The falling of the snowflakes

The glisten of the snow

The sound of the doorbell

The arrival of the guests

The welcome of the greeting

The decorations of the tree

The twinkle of the star

The sparkle of the ornament

The blinking of the lights
The scene of the nativity

The conversations of the people

The laughter of the children

The scent of the atmosphere

The glow of the fireplace

The romance of the couple

The comfort of the afghan

The festivity of the holiday

The calmness of the music

The setting of the table

The light of the candles

The smoothness of the wine

The sweetness of the apple cider

The blessing of the prayers

The deliciousness of the meal

The exchange of the gifts

The ending of the evening

The final hour of goodbyes

The darkness of the night

The light of the moon

Shoe Polish

Yes, I need my boots polished.

Showing signs of wear and

Showing weakness of color;

Looking shabby and dull.

I see a fellow in the airport

Making them shine and sparkle.

I love his work, so well done

In the finest minute of time.

The polish displayed a match

Looks all brand new again.

Feeling like a new woman/man

In the duty of his work.

I left him a payment, and a tip,

For a superior fashion he did.

It gave me an emotional high;

When you’re looking your best.

Feeling/being your best

Once Upon a Time

There was this young girl/young boy…

What choices did they make?

What was important to them?

What talents did they have?

What did they pursue?

What obstacles had they faced?

What emotions had they felt?

What did they discover?

What gifts had they received?

What was their purpose?

What power did they acquire?

What had they learned?

What circumstances came forth?

What outcome did they have?

We are essentially the story of our life!

Thanksgiving Moments

Reflecting on this past year;

And my, did it go by so fast.

It was simply another year;

But we heard so many stories.

Misfortunes abound this year;

And we often learn from them.

Renewing ourselves in the year;

Brings more understanding.

Families gather this calendar year;

Showing love, smiles and laughter.

With enjoyment it was a fun year;

Desires of the heart came forth.

Blessings of an abundant year;

We give thanks to the Lord.

Like a Brother

Throughout my life

I always found a brother.

He helped me out in so

Many ways with advice.

It was something important

For me to fully understand.

He was always there

With a helping hand.

He took care of me just

As if I was a sister.

Kept me on guard in

The many things of life.

Thanks for being there

When I needed you the most.

As I adopted you like a

Brother; to have and to hold.
