Wednesday Wonder

I consider myself to be an inquisitive kind of Chica. I often ponder and question just about everything. Kicking it up a notch, this Chica is bringing it with her Sassy Wonders every Wednesday.

I Wonder if:

Do you think that there is such a thing as a
HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

Are we conditioned to think that happily ever after exists, because this is the perfect ending for movies and books?

After looking deep within myself this is what I believe: I believe in LOVE!! I believe in all things beautiful!! I believe that before we can find our happily ever after, we need to find and own the happiness within...and I also believe that:

Please do share your thoughts, opinions and theories with me?!?

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Weekend Wrap Up

Hello my darlings....here we are at the start of a new week! I hope you are loving life and had a beautiful weekend!

Weekends are my favorite part of the week, yet they are the busiest...I use to get caught up with must do's and end up exhausted! I have learned to check in with myself and conclude if I am making the most of my time, am I loving life and am I having fun?

Chances are, I had a blast and whooped it up...that's just how this chica rolls:D

So here is my weekend wrap up:

Friday my sophomore chiquita bonita of a daughter, attended the Senior Prom with a cute boy. She says they are just friends, he seems like a nice boy and I was happy for her!

Needless to say the day was all about her...when she arrived home from school, I had a stylist waiting to do her hair and makeup. She looked Gorgeous!

By the time we knew it, her date arrived, we took a few pics and sent them on their way. I was a wreck, only becuz I remember my prom...wink-wink!

Saturday, I was up early and out the door running errands. My bestie came over and we had a Chica's afternoon/night out! I pulled my back Friday morning so it was easy going and not too over the top...but lots of fun!!

Sunday, I enjoyed a FABULOUS Mother's Day. Besides loving the quality time with friends and family. I was so impressed with my presents this year; I received lots of love, hugs and kisses, handmade gifts, beautiful greetings and a PINK fishing pole! How cool is that?!? I promise to tell you all about the fishing and the pole another day!

How was your weekend, what did you do, where did you go? Did you have fun?

Smooches,
Sassy Chica

Toss of A Coin

This Chica is torn!! I have friends and family who read my blog, therefore I have decided to not disclose my exact situation, to protect the innocent (me, lol)! And also to avoid awkwardness at the next friend/family gathering.

When looking for answers and given two options, both equally exceptional how do you choose? Option one is comfortable, you know what your getting and it's safe. Yet option two is a complete risk, it may be everything you have ever wanted, but there is no guarantee. I am torn because: So how do you choose? An Answer needs to be found, living in limbo, waiting for the answer to arrive is not an option. Would you suggest as the image does below: Is it that simple...a coin toss? What if you make the wrong decision and you regret it for the rest of your life? If you play it safe, will the agony of the unknown haunt you for life? Or will the possible failure of taking a risk and failing torture you for the rest of your life?

Either way once the decision is made there is no going back...please help!!

I would love to say that I will follow my heart, but everything I do...I put all my energy, heart and soul into! That's how this Chica rolls:D

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Hello May

Hot Damn, well "HELLO MAY" so glad your here!!

The newness of spring encourages me to see all things beautiful and remember that everything starts with a seed!!

Nature is coming into bloom and I love it, love it, love it! I feel like I too am in bloom; my heart is so open to LOVE and BELOVED!

I would love to indulge you with the details to a Sassy and Fabulous weekend, but this past weekend was spent in bed.

Bow..chica...bow...wow!! Not quite; I fell ill Friday with a sinus infection/head cold. This chica was not happy, I initially thought "what a waste of a weekend"!!

Then, I realized that maybe it was the rest my body needed. My family left for the weekend, yet I did not feel alone. It was more of a blessing to have this time to lay around, recoup, drink tea and gaze out the window and appreciate the true beauty of nature. Smell the scent of spring and give thanks for all the wonderful changes that have come from within me, the Sassy Chica, this year.

At the new year I planted a seed within my heart and have been feeding, loving and nurturing that seed. I was looking to fill a void within my being, but only I could do it. It's amazing my sassy readers, I have found that the void was a longing for true love. It came in the form of: SELF LOVE, SELF ACCEPTANCE, and SELF FORGIVENESS!!

This chica is now in bloom...look out world I am channeling the Goddess within!

How is your 2010 thus far and how will you celebrate MAY??

Stay Beautiful!!

Wednesday Wonder

I consider myself to be an inquisitive kind of Chica. I find myself often wondering, pondering and questioning just about everything. I thought it would be a fun change of pace to share my Sassy Wonders with you every Wednesday and get your opinion. You are also welcome to send me your wonders to be featured on my blog.

Have you ever wondered what your gifts in life are? A few years back I recall reading in a book, that when you meet your maker, he will ask you two questions...the first question is spiritual; How did you treat my son?...The SECOND Question is What did you do with the gifts I gave you???

After reading the second question, I could not help but to wonder, WHAT ARE MY GIFTS? I instantly thought well, I am Fabulous and Sassy, LoL...are those my gifts? Then, I thought well maybe my ability to be awesome and fun(insert laugh here)...could those be my gifts? Aha, it's my charming quick wit personality, then I remembered I am not that funny, that was definitely not it.

After much soul searching, I came to the conclusion that my gift is the pure and honest desire to LOVE and BeLOVED!! This is what feeds my soul, motivates me to do better and be better!! I want to share a quote that confirmed the theory of my gift.

"People may not remember what you said or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel"!!

I believe we all have many gifts but as the quote says in the first picture, The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away! BRILLIANT, wouldn't you agree?

I have since made it my goal to give my gift to all who will receive it, while leaving a positive impact on the world, making my mark in this Gorgeous Universe and letting it be known that:STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

WHAT IS YOUR GIFT????

Wild At Heart

Hello and Happy Monday to you! I hope that you have been well and the weekend was amazing for you!

Last week zipped by in a hot second. This Chica has been busy working on herself, looking for work and keeping up with family and friends

The weekend was awesome!! I love, love, love the weekends!!! As I may have mentioned before I am a die hard Chicago Cubs fan and was pleased that they swept their series at Milwaukee.

Friday was low key, some dinner/drinks, followed by watching the Chicago CUBS WIN!!

Saturday I attended a FABULOUS wedding and when I say Fabulous, I mean FABULOUS! The people seated at our table were amazing and so much fun...love them all!! I also met some new people, which I enjoyed immensely. One chica sticks out in my mind, she was gorgeous and darling. Her and I chatted for a bit, when she said to me "I am so glad to have met you...you are very interesting and "Wild At Heart". I am not sure if that was a compliment, I think she meant it as a compliment?

I LOVE to be surrounded by positive energy, good energy, love energy. I am an emotionally driven person and feel rejection when love is not reciprocated. One thing I have learned about myself is my emotional neediness is not a weakness!! I think that is what draws people to me. I can relate to the wonderful Audrey Hepburn, who was quoted to have said "I have an enormous need for affection and a terrible need to give it"!

I have a question for you...what do you think "Wild at Heart" could have meant, and just for my own curiosity, are you emotionally driven?

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Wednesday Wonder

Hello Sassy Readers!!! I wish you a wonderful Wednesday and hope you have all been doing well. This past week was interesting to say the least and the weekends, well never a dull moment for this Chica.

Last week I started Wonder Wednesday, I spend much time wondering about so many things that I thought, I should share them with you and get your opinion or thoughts on my wonders.

This week I wonder if people remember to thank those who are with them thru the good and bad times? It is so easy to thank people for a great night out, a nice dinner, a beautiful gift, but do we thank those who love us even when we are not lovable?

I feel that:

Remember to thank all those who show love to you and to tell them you appreciate them, make it a point to call, text, email or even instant message someone you know cares. It's lovely to hear or read unexpected words of kindness. Reach out and love someone today!!

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Morning Kisses

Another Gorgeous day for the Chicago land area! Last night I forgot to close my bedroom windows, surprisingly the night was cool but not cold and this morning was a delight!! I woke up to a semi warm light breeze, which slipped in my window and kissed me good morning .

The sun was rising and the birds were singing me a song...ahhh, it was a great way to greet the day! I could smell the glory of spring...I am not sure how to explain it except that it was delish!!

For those of you who live in warm climate areas this may sound kookey, to be ga- ga for these moments. Let me just say, we had a long, cold, rough winter and I welcome SPRING and look forward to SUMMER.

I often wonder why I live here(note to self: because Chicago is AWESOME), however I consider myself to be a Sun Goddess, I love warm temps, chilled cocktails, flip flops with pedicured tootsies, concerts in the park...just to name a few of my favorite things. I even went as far as to contemplate a move to TEXAS...but decided to think it thru and not make any major decisions just yet.

Okay, enough about me, how are you???

I wish you all a wonderful day, may you find beauty in your surroundings and within yourself...I send love and kisses to you!!

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Wednesday Wonder

Hello Sassy Readers!! Today, is a gorgeous day in the Chicagoland area, the weather is simply delish. The sun is shining, unseasonably warm for this time of year, forecasted to reach 80 degrees, yummy!!

Taking in a deep breathe, the air smells lovely and feels warm on my face. I am in love with this day!!

I spent some time thinking about what to write for you my darlings...I wondered and wondered and wondered...until I recalled just a tidbit of a poem I once read...titled; I wonder

I wonder if he thinks of me when a couple strolls along, I wonder if he yearns for me when he hears our favorite song, I wonder if he wishes for me when the night is long...I wish and wonder until my wonders run out, but most of all I am wondering what he is wondering about????

I am not sure why that poem came to mind, but it was what brought me to today's topic and Title, WEDNESDAY WONDER.

I tend to spend much time analyzing and wondering why people are the way they are or why they do the things they do...(myself included).

Thinking out of the box here for a moment, could it be that we are the way we are, due to what was going on cosmically at the exact moment we were born?

Is there such a thing as cosmic magic? I recently found this neat site cafeastrology.com, where you can get your natal birth chart..from this chart you get a better insight on what was going on cosmically at the time of your birth, which may be why we are the way we are.

Simply enter your first name, gender and time and date of birth and location and it gives you a complete readout...go on and try it, please do tell me what you think?

HAVE A FABULOUS WEDNESDAY!
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Be Awesome

Hello Sassy Readers!!!

How have you been...better yet, where have I been and what has this Sassy Chica been up to?

I have been growing, learning, and being awesome! How you ask??? With self determination and the help of a selected few loved ones...

I made it my mission this year to grow and take advantage of many tools so readily available, such as self-empowerment/self help books, online links and life counselors(I call them this, simply because are already in my circle of life-family,friends, they lovingly counsel and encourage me as I grow). The selected few whom I share this experience with are of all walks of life. A choice I made to purposefully be open to anything and everything which would

help me better understand myself.

By opening my mind I was able to breathe in change. And here is where I take control! Things at that new year, were a bit out of sort. I had no clue how much more out of sort they would become. I asked the Divine and Universe with everything I had for change; however I was not specific...and change came at me in droves!

My heart, mind and soul have since changed and I am proud to say for the better!! This came at the painful cost of being completely broken down. It felt as tho everything had to fall apart (or so it seemed), in order to see all of the pieces for what they were. I then had to make decisons to pick the ones up that I wanted to keep and discard those I no longer needed. This process lasted for months, it was both exhausting and painful.

While growing and changing, one of the lessons which helped me move forward was this: STAY BEAUTIFUL!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Don't Waste The Person You Are

Often times we wonder and ponder the what ifs of life. What if I was this...or what if I was that...what if I had this...or what if I looked like that...you can wish and wonder all you want, the bottom line is You are who you are...EMBRACE and LOVE YOU!!

Love comes from within and once we love ourselves, the what ifs slowly dissipate! Here is today's Inspiration:

STAY BEAUTIFUL!!
Smooches,
Sassy Chica

I Believe

Happy Hump DAY!!! Oooouweeee, it's already Wednesday; this month of March, arrived and is on it's way out in a hot second!

I, for one am happy that this month is in progression there has been much growth and change, with day light savings(gaining more sunlight is awesome), change in season(going from winter to spring is fabulous) and mindset(believing with my whole heart is wonderful).

Which leads me to today's picture thought of the day...which I love, love, love!!!

Believe in change with all your heart and your mind, body and soul will follow!! Stay Beautiful!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

HELLO SPRING

Hot Damn, where has this Sassy Chica been??? Well I was in a time out for a little bit. I am doing well and I thank all my bloggy buddies, for your lovely comments and emails asking me to come back!

When I started writing this blog, I would have never thought to have shared so much of myself that when things started to change, I really had nothing to give and I was for the first time at a loss of words. Since then I have bounced back and I am back in the game! I was never really out of the game, I just reassessed the way I was playing the game of life!

Over these past few months I have learned much about myself and many of the relationships in which I was part of, from the simplest of relationships I had with acquaintances to intense relationships I had with loved ones...some purging needed to be done and since then I feel a weight lifted. I also came to the realization that I don't have to be everything to everyone and that is okay!

Okay enough about that...moving forward...here we are the first week of Spring, what have you done to celebrate and welcome this change in season??

How have you been and what have I missed, please do tell I have missed you all so much!!

SMOOCHES!!

Just Let Go

Hello Sassy Reader...wow, time flies!! It's been a week since I have posted...not because I have forgotten about you or even that I didn't have time, in all honesty...I had nothing to say. Can you imagine that, I had nothing to say!! I have always been one with something to say and if I had nothing to say I would make something up, I was scared of silence. However I have learned that one must be silent or practice silence to hear our inner voice.

Over the past month and a half I have done much soul searching...I went as far as asking the Divine and Universe for change in 2010, be careful what you ask for...you just might get it...and this Chica got it.

While searching my soul and surfing the web, I found this quote and it made all the sense to me..

Wow, how powerful is that??? JUST LET GO!!! Most of my life I have stuck it out, seen it through and hoped for better results, when all along I knew I was spinning my wheels and it would be that much easier to just let go. So I finally did...I LET GO!!

AND this is what I found...

So here is my suggestion for you today.....STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Simple and Sweet

Hello Sassy Readers!! Here is a little something simple and sweet to ponder!

Wishing you a day full of love and laughter!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica

Fall Apart, Fall Together

Happy Monday!! Hope all you Sassy readers had a great weekend!!!

I am optimistic and happy about change these days; as I mentioned change at first was painful and confusing(still kinda is), however I understand that "things fall apart so that other things can fall together

On a sweeter note, the New Orleans Saints Came marching in...Winning yesterdays Superbowl!! This chica had a great day with friends, food and football! It was even sweeter to win a few bucks on my bets...hot damn, mama's getting a new pair of shoes (and a handbag to match)!!

Friday and Saturday were extremely productive in regards to taking personal inventory of my life and heart, I made it a point to sit and reflect on many of the things I do and feel.

I realized that I am over apologetic, (even if it is not my fault, I tend to apologize) and then I read this quote below:

Fabulous Friday Find

Happy Friday Sassy Readers,

I loved the words written above that I have made it my daily mantra!!

I hope you are all doing well, I sure do miss you! I have been hard at work...working on me and I can see some progress! I have spent so much time worried about everyone and everything leaving little time to take care of me. I have found that it does not matter what others think, you can not consume yourself with what others are doing...their lives are theirs and you are wasting your precious time. Progress is bliss, but the road there was and is extremely uncomfortable.

I share this with you because I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I need, I fear, I cry...and I know you do the same things too, so really we are not that different me and you!!

So here we are on this FABULOUS FRIDAY, what will you be doing this weekend? The one thing I know for sure is I will be taking time to pamper me and Sunday is dedicated to FRIENDS, FOOD and FOOTBALL!!! My pick to win the Superbowl...New Orleans SAINTS!! What about you??

Smooches,
Sassy Chica

Not Yet What I Am Going To Be

Happy February!! One month down eleven more to go! January was a work in progress...I am happy to report that much progress was made and life is headed in the right direction!

2010 you are rocking it out so far. Late last year I asked for change and in order to change one must be open to it...but what I wasn't expecting was to be broken.

Thee best way I can explain is when you demolition a house...you must first plan out how you will go about the demolition, what tools will you need, who will help with the demolition and how will you clean up after all the walls are torn down, all the floors have been lifted etc.

That is how my January started out I started by setting my 2010 goals and resolutions, then I found tools to assist me in my change, I surrounded my self with people to encourage and support me and felt the despair of the mess when I finally let my guard down and tore down all the walls I had built to keep hurt out.

After the demolition was done I looked around and there was a mess, what was even more confusing was how to start the clean up! One day I hope to share the clean up with you, but for now all I can say is I could only take it one day at a time. I love the pic below, it expresses what I feel!!

Smooches,

Sassy Chica
