Buffalo by Choice

Hola Queen ( and King) Bees!

I got this cup as a gift from my mentor recently as a symbol of perseverance.

"Entrepreneur by Birth, BUFFALO by Choice"

Are you a Buffalo?

Let me tell you the story of the Buffalo vs the Cow.... the way it was revealed to my spirit.

Animals can sense when a storm is coming.  When a tornado makes its way through a field a Cow  gets scared.  It starts running away from the tornado.  Eventually the slow and tired cow gets sucked up by the storm causing it pain and long suffering (probably death).

A Buffalo  on the other hand sees the tornado coming and gets ready to take it on.  As the storm gets closer the buffalo charges at full speed straight into the storm.  The buffalo is able to break through the storm and come out from the other side. Less pain, less suffering, no death!

When life's storms show up in your life, are you a cow or are you a Buffalo?

Forgive without an apology

Over 15 years ago, I frantically drove up and down the Berlin Turnpike looking for my husband. I entered every single motel on that strip, slowly driving through each parking lot checking for his car. I called his cell phone countless times leaving numerous voicemails begging him to please answer me. With smudged eyeliner all over my face, I could barely see through the tears as I sped up and down the strip in my car. And if that wasn't bad enough, I had left behind my six year old daughter sleeping home alone (thankfully she didn't wake up). Talk about poor desperate choices! A woman's brokenness is usually rooted from childhood experiences. Insecurities planted way back before they became young adults. Beliefs of being less than or not good enough subconsciously programmed into the mind. It's not noticeable right away but it changes their behavior. Later in life, she accepts constantly being rejected, disrespected and manipulated by their spouse. Just like the ocean

Four years later

Today I started thinking that I really need to figure out what my purpose in life is. A voice whispered in my thoughts to help motivate women in bad relationships, those having a hard time dating and women who find it hard to love themselves first. I thought I could start a blog. To my surprise, I found this blog that I had started over four years ago. Reading my profile and my first two blogs back in 2010 brought me to tears. It was like if I was reading another person's hurt, yet it was my own. I just cant believe I went through all those years of pain. And here I am four years later with the love of my life.... remarried and happy! I cant wait to help my sisters out there find what I found.
