Unleash the Beast


Dear Inspirations 

For a Monday I feel relatively good which is always a awesome thing. Despite  last week being  so hard for me mentally I made it through. I even had a few moments of "This can't be life, The struggle can't be this hard'', but it was.

You ever have a bad day and no matter how you try to get passed it seems like it just keeps getting worse? That's how last week was and I am truly glad that it is behind me.

This  week I'm looking forward to good news. Since last week was so bad I know this week will be better. I can almost feel my breakthrough coming. I am closer to victory. I am closer to my dreams. I can feel things getting better. I see myself coming out. These are the things I tell myself.

I am feeling pretty BEASTLY!

In current events...

@DearJasmineP on Instagram reached 700 followers last night. I know that might not be  much to you, but for me it feels like 700k. I started the movement really to help myself daily and then I realized how much people needed to see inspiration daily. I feel bad somedays and sometimes I can't even post because I don't believe in the message. On those days I scroll down my timeline and others inspire me. Followers like @Choran89 gives me hope to go on. I  have no idea how we began following each other, but I'm so glad we did. Although he lives in New York and I'm in Houston together we have made the perfect inspiration team. My only hope is that he doesn't stop and that he holds me to the same promise.

I love reading  all of the comments that say "thank you for this" and other positive thoughts. To all of my followers thank you for following, I hope that my truths inspire you and motivate you to chase your dreams. One day I to will follow my dreams and I hope you all remember this blog and remind me of my promise.

More good news, DearJasmineP finally has a LOGO and I am in the process of getting shirts designed! I am excited for the finish product!  Coming soon!

This week be encouraged, I know this is SO easy to say, but really try to stay positive.
Stay motivated by all of the positive things that are happening in your life. Embrace your struggle and embrace your future. Every now and again a door is closed, but its only for a new one to be opened. I know he truly has a plan for my life, for your life, for our lives! This week I challenge you to dig deep and unleash your inner BEAST!



Inspiring and Empowering all over....

Love Jasmine P.

Cross Roads

Dear Inspirations 

Please know that all your efforts aren't going in vain, I know you might not see what's happening right now. 

"Your life is falling apart and falling together at the same time" 

I ask myself to sometimes what am I doing? 

How does this correlate with the big plan? 

I to get discourage, I to start to feel like I'm going through the motions.

This week I challenge you to believe that your on the right path. 

Of course the road looks dusty, the street signs might be missing, your car might be almost out of gas but you must keep going. 

This is so hard to type its even hard to say out loud. I'm battling with my inner self as we speak. 

I can. You can. We will. 

Thank you to my friend who reminded me of my dreams and encouraged me to keep going. 

Love Jasmine P.

Protected

Dear Inspirations,


Often we have trouble finding the joy in small things I know I do sometimes.
This morning I woke up late and I was really in a funk at first like "crap I'm going to be late for work" Being late sometimes could be God's protection from something.

Sometimes being late is a sign that you need to go to bed earlier. It's for you to decide though.

On my morning drive today there were two accidents both of them could have easily been me.
Today I choose to believe that me being late was God's protection on my life.

Yes I was late for work but I am also alive and well. I believe that's enough to be happy about and enough to smile about.

It's Thursday one day stands between us and the weekend!

If you were looking for a reminder here it is. Live in the small joys. Even if it causes you to be late.



Love Jasmine P.

The notebook

Dear Inspirations,

This is for anyone that thinks love doesn't exist are that the fairytale that you desire doesn't exist. We all want love even if we don't say it or even if the past we knew as love was a little dark. My personal experience in love was pretty rocky until now. I never really knew that I could even feel this way and the feelingwould be so amazing. Even at this exact moment  that it's hard to describe.

From the moment we met I know for sure that I knew he was the one. We were on our first date and it just felt really weird but not in a bad way. I couldn't explain it but at that moment I described it as an "array of emotions". The date went well and the dates after that were even better.

How did we meet?  I met Adeola through the help of my cousin and we instantly clicked. His pick up line was so cute on my profile bio I said I was "almost perfect" he responded with "your perfect" from that moment I knew he was the guy for me. Without going into to many details Addy is the perfect man for me because of all of the qualities he posses.

He is everything in a man that I ever wanted. You know how you meet some people and your like well I don't like this or that..  or they do such and such to make you mad all the time. Or maybe you disagree on a lot of things. Well this is totally the opposite. Now of course we have our fights and we disagree but the love really surpasses the arguments. His personality and my personality go hand and hand. It's almost like God really knew and crafted him with me in mind.

So here's what you really came here for... The proposal.

I remember that night the weather didn't permit for our original plans (The Field of Lights)  so instead We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants (Kona Grill). He was the perfect gentlemen all night as usual, When dinner was over he insisted on getting a red box movie.





He rode around to three different ones looking for the movie of his choice. When we got home he put the movie in and it was The Notebook. I wanted to cry instantly because it's my favorite movie. We watched the movie and right at the  the scene of the guy proposing he got up and got on his knee.

"I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, you make me a better person each day and I want you to be my wife. He said some more sweet stuff, but I was in such a shock that I cried.

Then the words we all wait our whole life to hear came off his lips "Will you marry me"? At that moment I said yes in my mind without one reservation. I knew I wanted forever, I knew I wanted him to be the father of my kids. Names picked and all.

I said yes!! Adeola is going to be my husband and I can't wait to be his wife!

Our love is unique because it didn't take us years to figure out that we wanted to be together forever. It's so true when people say you know when you meet the one. I'm sure you have questions on when the date is? What are the colors and what the plan is. Currently, we have a date in mind. No further details have been confirmed.

I look forward to spending my life with him and everything that comes with it.

I wrote this blog in hopes to inspire you to keep your heart open to true  love. Believe me when I say it will come. In my case it came when I least expected it. Personally, I was ready to give it up, call it quits, and get a dog.

But then Love called me and I answered and the rest is still being written.





Me: Our love is Almost Perfect
Him: It is perfect.
Me: It is.

"So it's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be really hard. And we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever. You and me. Everyday.”  - The Notebook


Ps: Stay tuned for #TheOguntugawedding
