Goodbye September

Dear September 

Today is the final day of September what did you accomplish? 

How did you do? This month I learned a lot about who I am as a person. I'm extremely complicated at times. I believe in hard work and at times I can get frustrated easily. This month I was able to stay on task for the most part! I met deadlines and I opened a new door for love to come in. I slowed down on my over thinking.  Today I took a step closer to the next level of my life. I delivered about 10 motivational sticky notes to coworkers. I Bought lunch for a stranger and a co worker. I managed to make two new friends and I believe I inspired a few kids. I organized a birthday party for my mom and I also celebrated with friends. September was an awesome month and I'm looking forward to making new memories in October.

Love Jasmine P. 

Almost

Dear you.

 

 It is as if you fell out of the sky and she was walking by.

She doesn't think you could have showed up at a better time.

You were in her dreams, but now you're here as the real thing.

If she falls I hope you catch her.

She hopes to be in your arms forever no matter the weather.

Usually her thoughts consume her and swallow her, but in this case it hasn't

shes just watching time.

 

Where have you been all her life is the the only thing that keeps coming to mind?

 

There's more to be said, so many things to explain.

Right now the only thing that makes sense is why other things didn't work out.

 

To say that she feels differently about a lot of things would be yet another understatement.

 

She hopes that you promise to put up with her as a headache.

 

Flaws and all.

How they met is a mystery but how this story ends is a fairy tale.

This is all for now.

Love, Jasmine P.

 

Slay dragons

Dear inspirations 

Today I have a simple message and it is to simply slay the day just as you would a dragon. Think about it if you can slay a dragon you can do anything. There is no other way. You can't give up on yourself and there is no way I'm going to let you. While I know this week will be challenging for me I refuse to give in. I don't care how you get it done just get it done. Use google, phone a friend, ask for help, what ever you do make it happen. I know that you will be able to do this. So as I close keep this in mind. Slay! Slay. Slay dragons. 

P.s.- I love love love all of you (seriously) 

Love Jasmine P. 

Coffee and Curls.

Dear Inspirations


To think..... "life is what you make it" This along with many others  should banned cliches.

What if you try to make life everything and nothing ever happens?

I'm sitting here at my 7:45-4:00 gig thinking to myself its so many other places I could be... Paris, Germany,Hawaii, Chicago, Nigeria, Atlanta. or even in my bed sleep.

Instead I'm here sculpting minds and changing lives one smile at a time.

I'm cool with that. In a recent conversation I discovered that I was right where I needed to be. At this very moment I'm extremely happy with the way things are.

I've found myself thinking less and less about the negative and more and more about all the ups life will bring.

I attribute most of that to GOD and my (A) <later blog>.

You ever feel like things are just to perfect for words?

Or that you've finally fell into place? 

Have you ever been singing Whitney Houston out of no where (wait that's probably only me) Well, That's how I've felt this month. Maybe it's the future birthday hype.

I'm not totally sure, but I can say I feel  beyond BLESSED.

This blog isn't really for you all.
Now that I think about it.
It's really for me.
For me to look back on and remember.
For me to digest and track my growth as a scholar and as an artist.

You know I'm a artist right? Everyday I'm an artist. I wish I could  stream my thoughts on a projector or show you deep my love runs. That would be so creepy and cool at the same time.

One of my friends help me to accept things for EXACTLY what they are. The moment you start expecting more and putting extra additives on things that's the moment you set yourself up to loose.

This might have been one of my "off into a tangent moments" but I hope I triggered something inside of you.

If not there is always next time.

COFFEE AND CURLS. (inserts a sip)

Sincerely, Jasmine P.

Only Good in

Dear Inspirations  

Today I decided that only good can come in. If it's not good why would you even bother yourself with it? In so many ways you can easily be a better person just by doing this. 

I woke up thinking today was Saturday and it wasn't! 

I hope your day Is going great. The universe is always true. 

Love Jasmine. 

Reminders to make it happen

Dear inspirations 

We know that each day is a new day yet some of us wake up with yesterday on our mind. It's gone and we can't get it back. 

So my question is are you using your time wisely? 

I'm having a real moment with myself right now. I haven't been. I've been to tired to fuel the dream in the last two weeks I've made excuses for myself. 

I've applied places and I've even looked into a few things but I'm just kinda like blah blah blah. 

It shouldn't be this way. 

I have so much potential but what's potential if you don't do anything with it. I know I have to reboot and shut my system down from losing my aunt. 

Maybe I'm mourning her death? But will that be my excuse for life? No. 

Shake yourself Jasmine snap out of it. Do what you set out to do.

Sometimes you have to lose to win. Happy Wednesday! 

Enough of my streaming thoughts. I love y'all btw. 

Love Jasmine P.
