January 2022 – Notes by La'Rue

Abandoning Lot

I’ve mentioned several times before, how my peace is the most expensive thing I own, and rather than allow anyone to disturb it, I’d much rather walk away. That can be extremely difficult, when you are in a close relationship with that individual, but sometimes, people get along better, when they’re separated. In many cases,Continue reading “Abandoning Lot”

Sit up

Have you ever walked in a room, and quickly realized you we’re bigger than it and everything it contained? I have, and I say that as the most humbling, sincere, and confident person I am. No shade to anyone in my past or present, but I’ve often found myself shrinking who I am, so othersContinue reading “Sit up”

Tired of showing up

I have a mental health wellness journal, where I record my thoughts, feelings, and overall daily self-care. One of the things in particular the journal asks is, “What is something good that happened today?” I always avoid this question, because for the most part, things have not been that good for me, as of late.Continue reading “Tired of showing up”

Unexpected help

Many months ago, I was pinching pennies, trying to make sense of why I was counting them to begin with. Then it dawned on me, I didn’t have any money! I fell to my knees praying, but I don’t recall if it was from my depleted account or energy. Simply put, I was tired! IContinue reading “Unexpected help”

Listen up

Speak less

For awhile now, I’ve been juggling with the idea of starting a podcast. The moniker and content will be the same, but done with a minor twist. Occasionally, I’ll peruse the internet comparing and pricing the equipment, only to do just that, and nothing more. As a promise I made to myself, I’m not goingContinue reading “Speak less”

Angry with the past

How many of you are willing to admit, 2021 took a lot out of you and from you? Not only was it cruel, brutal, and depressing for some, it was undoubtedly one we’ll never forget, although we’d like to. As a result of the personal calamities many of us have suffered, we’ve become bitter andContinue reading “Angry with the past”

Steal the moment

I love traveling and vacationing, and any chance I get to get away, I’m leaving. Like everyone else, I enjoy and look forward to taking photos and creating new, life-lasting memories, but sometimes, those things keep us from being present. I can recall many special little moments I’ve missed out on, because I was tooContinue reading “Steal the moment”

Still there

Am I the only one who still makes a vison board? Better yet, am I the only one who still sees and believes the vision? Like everyone else, I have my days of unbelief, and a few days ago, was one of them. l was not feeling my best, and started to give up onContinue reading “Still there”

Modified Plans

I’ve always been the overambitious one, but even I know when I’ve bitten off a little more than I could chew. I can’t begin to think of all the times I’ve had a laundry list of things I’ve wanted to achieve, and the short time in which I expected to do it all by, onlyContinue reading “Modified Plans”
