I'm going to make every single one of my dreams come true.

Focus

by deidreswain, posted in Uncategorized

Whenever I go to sleep at night I always have these grand plans on what I will do the next day…

My thoughts are filled with all the goals I will finally accomplish, the things that will get cleaned and those little errands that will finally get done.

Then the day comes and I just can’t seem to bring myself to get anything done.. this is the bane of my existence.. I have no focus. I am a forever procrastinator.

Is there a pill for this?

Some classes I can take?…

I guess that would only work if I actually got up and went to them…

 

 

 

New Year!!

by deidreswain, posted in 2012

Happy New Year!! Of course  I’m a little bit early but I’m sitting home with my husband bringing the New Year in differently than in the past.  So I decided now would be a perfect time to work on one of the items on my 2012 bucket list.  I don’t really do resolutions I just like to more things than what I did the previous year because you only get one life to live and I want to make the most of mine.  I really want to leave a piece of me in the universe. Hopefully one day someone will read my blog and learn from it, get inspired, or even a laugh.  It doesn’t really matter to me as long as they get something from it.

The thing that I really want from the New Year is I would really like to bloom.. by blooming I mean really coming into my own. Like they say 30 is the new 20.  I’m 30 and ready to get life started!!

Socialite status…

by deidreswain, posted in My Goals

So as my name says my goal is to become a socialite.. not the no underwear wearing, drug in purse or stealing kind. One more like the social activist type or charity type. I want to be the one people look to when they want to figure out what to do with their life or even what to do that day.

I know you may be saying why do I feel like I should become a socialite. Well trust me I have embarrassing photos and situations in my past but what it’s what I want to do with my future that really counts. I want to become an activist for the children in my community. I honestly know that there are children all around the world that need help.. but I was always taught that charity starts at home. Help those in your own backyard first!! I also don’t think the average everyday black american (I’ll discuss later why I say that) does enough to help out their community. It’s starting to show so no one can really argue with me on that on.

I want to do more for my community and also be the one people turn to when they have ideas to help others. It’s easier to do when everyone knows who you are versus if you were just some average joe…

What does being a socialite mean to you?

Reaching my goals

by deidreswain, posted in My Goals

Over the weekend my husband and I finally worked on our vision book. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s where you actually put together a collage of your dreams. This why you actually have a visual of them, not just thoughts of them. It does make it easier to actually see the things we wish to accomplish in our personal and professional life.

One of the things that we both really wanted to accomplish was to become closer to God and incorporate Him in our everyday lives. So now every night before we go to sleep for the night we have taken to reading and having discussions about the Bible. It’s actually been quite interesting to hear his point of view on biblical things (not that we haven’t had these conversations before). I think that increases our communication and actually brings us closer together because we have so many subjects we can discuss. (more on that at another time)

I think just reading and trying to get a better understanding of who God is and what His son Jesus did for us brings us closer to Him because we put in the time and effort to read His word. I it does everyone some good to have some sort of spiritual connection. I get this great inner peace after I’ve prayed or read Gods word.

What brings you inner peace?

Sometimes it’s best….

So last week I washed my hair quickly because I had something to do. I didn’t do a good deep condition and I also blow dryer it with a hand dryer. It just didn’t come out right!! I normally wash it in the shower , deep condition it twice, and then roller wrap it. Because I didn’t do this by Tuesday it was so oily and limp that it was just ridiculous. So today I’m going to wash it and take care of it the way my hair has obviously became accustomed to. So this proves two points..

1) Sometimes it’s best to stick with what you are used to.

2) When you do something different you get different results. (One of my personal mottos)

Goals…

by deidreswain, posted in My Goals

So I think the hardest thing about life for me is sticking to my goals. I have the greatest intentions in the world but for some reason I just can’t seem to stick with them. I like to think of myself as an idea person, I have ideas for days and most of them are pretty good if you ask me. I just wish I could accomplish more of them. I know I’m not the only person with this issue but no one ever speaks of their own shortcomings..

When I FINALLY grow up!!

by deidreswain, posted in Uncategorized

So this summer I turned 30….and I realized that I have this seriously long list of things that I wish to accomplish. One of the main things (and yes this is very vain) I wish to be is a Socialite… I know crazy.  I want to be a trendsetter for all of the right reasons, like because I worked in a soup kitchen, started a charity or did something good.  You would think people would want to be more positive than negative with their actions in life. But I won’t be bothered with them because I can only control the things that I do!!
