Happy 2014 from Words of Ribbon

As my first official blog post for 2014, I would like to wish everyone all the best in life, love and all their endeavors. Let us continue to embrace change, work hard and support unity. Don't live in fear of life. Instead, embark on new journeys - by physically going and setting new goals for your spiritual life. It's not going to be easy because we know what we faced in 2013. However, take this opportunity to make a bold step forward and live!

Stay on Track for Your Goals

It's not very often that we are able to gain success without there being some trials. Onlookers may think that it's been an easy road when you've struggled to get to where you are now. It's important in the journey not to get sidetracked by negative people. We all have those type of people around us who will dissuade us or make us feel small.

While you want to take constructive criticism, you do not have to subject yourself to hateful discourse. Once you have set your goal, you do your best to get to it. You control your destiny. You will need help along the way and you will also need prayer. You will have to be patient, understanding and diligent and you do have what it takes.

You have to find ways to block the 'hater' from your mind. Shut them out literally and physically. Absent yourself from their presence. Stay focused on your tasks and go forward with persistence and perseverance.

POEM: Every Day

Every day is a day to give

Every day is a moment

to celebrate the life we live

no need to wait for a 

special occasion

a new occupation

or a preferred destination

because no moment can be predefined

and we never know

how much time
we will have
be true to yourself
and love those around you

live every moment
like it's brand new
don't get caught up
in the missing pieces
instead make your life
be a true thesis
a testimony to living to the fullest
and taking a smile even
when it's seems the dullest
take this moment to reflect
and then project
your positive energy
on enjoying your life.

POEM: Keep Faith In Front

There's no need to hide

no need to think suicide

things will turnaround

even as cliché as it may sound

keep both feet on the ground

because trouble is all around

it chooses no particular person

but causes stress for all humans

so don't get tied up and twisted

thinking about the problems that persist

instead keep faith in your pocket

and hold love in your locker

put your mind on what you can change

and do your best to rearrange

what you have control over

for those things you have for which you have no charge

pretend like they're on a big barge

and let them sail from your mind

and in time

you will see that it will all turn around

and your happiness will be found

just keep hope and faith alive

and put positivity in all you strive

Happy Holidays from Polaris Enterprises!!!!

The Blog Is Alive

I already have a post about putting my blog on the side so I won't go there tonight. I have been neglectful and to my blog and its readers, I apologize.

I think I have gotten too confident with my writing at work so I have put my blog, which has taken me so far, on the side. It's the same thing we do with family and friends. We tend to forget after we have made it. I'm reverting right back to my roots. Because of this blog, today I am a better writer and poet.

Because of the people in my circle, I am a better person. I have been able to experience so many good things and I am thankful. I am truly blessed. Things may not always go the way that I have planned, but God is in control.

I have to get back into the swing of things. I'm definitely going to be posting more in the blog. I think my Inspire VI page on Facebook has taken all my time. I've also been catching up at work to get myself current.

As the holidays are approaching, I am encouraging everyone to stay focused and enjoy themselves safely and responsibly!

Blessings.
