As we prepare to bring 2012 to a close, I reflect on what a
wonderful year this has been for me. Yes, I’ve encountered some tests, but I am
still here, living, kicking and loving like never before, and who I loved the
most this year was definitely me and my babies. 2012 Was definitely a year of firsts
for me. I’ve done things that I had been afraid to attempt in the past, and although
everything didn’t work out the way I expected, it worked out all the same. I
have learned so much more about the woman that I am and finally learning to trust
the process and progression of the development of the woman that I’ve not yet
become. I put me, my wants, desires and needs to the forefront of my life and I
settled for nothing in 2012.
I’ve learned that there are always issues that arise in our
lives, but every issue doesn’t involve lack, struggle or a battle to be fought
and won. Some things you simply must bask in the lesson, find peace and let go.
Folks will always have an opinion of you, some may even believe they know you a
lot better then you know yourself, which is cool, folks are entitled to their
opinions. But I have held strong to knowing who I am, my hang-ups, faults, my
issues, as we all have them, and I’ve embraced them. I was no victim to any
circumstance in 2012 and I have been completely liberated from guilt, shame, and
feelings of inadequacy and inferiority.
This year I landed a new position which I love, working with
some great colleagues, full of knowledge, I have finished my first book,
awaiting its publication and I have several irons in the fire. Yes, I have much
more to work on, but I am here, my children are healthy and I am secure, working
towards the dreams that enter my consciousness, asking no one for anything, but
tapping into the power that lives in me to will my innermost desires into
fruition. Things can only become bigger and brighter in the New Year and I am
concentrating on all the good in my life!!!
Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you nothing but peace, joy
and many blessings for 2013.
With love and light,
Shamina
More of me…
I am love, I am light, I am blessed, I am smiles, I am
butterfly kisses, I am deep, I am sensual, I am a lady, I am hood, I am
intelligent…
I am so much more than I give myself credit for!
I am beautiful, inside and out, I am territorial, I
protect my den, I am laughter, I am hurt and pain, I am confident, I am a
conqueror, I am a queen, I am long legs, fat thighs with pretty lips and a beautiful
smile...
I am anger, I am attitude, I am spoiled, I am emotional,
I am funny acting, I am standoffish, I am. Simply, I am a lot of things...
You are a great person and it shows that you learn what everyone in life should learn. Most people don't learn or take lessons from there past but you do. You truly are a great person and your words speak volumes. The I am poem that ended our year shows the different sides that make you up. Many of which some people would never know. Can not wait to see your fruits that you planted in 2012 bloom brightly and grow greatly in 2013. Much love always.
