All smiles here....

Well my life got somewhat interesting the other day. Me and my ex have been split up for a few months now but seems like forever. We hung out last night, which was super awesome. It sucks that we have so many differences, but its like everything seems so in place when we are together. We say that all the time and its crazy because no one we meet makes us feel that way. Don't get me wrong, we had an amazing relationship but like we all know things never stay the same. You either learn to roll with the punches or you look for an exit, and obviously one of us walked out the door. We both know that we want to be together but right now we both have things that are far more important than us right now. Situations like this have its pro and cons but hey with us the good by far out weighs the bad. We both believe in a higher power and our faith will prove it all.

On another note, I kinda upset because things are so slow at work. These people are not tipping and i am not making the money i want. There are so many goals that i am working towards right now and not making my money is starting to affect those goals from ever happening. I'm a positive person so I'm trying my best to keep my head up and a smile on my face. I know things could be alot worse and know there are people out there with bigger worries than my own, so no need to complain. I have a job and i am grateful. A man at work told me today that there is a man in prison today that does not have the ability to wake up every morning and pursue his dreams and i do every single day, so i have no room to say i cant.

I must say I'm in a good place in my life right now. I'm making good friends, somewhat good money, i don't have a want for anything and i wake up happy...finally!!! Ive been through alot this past year and just the little we have had in this year alone, and i feel like a survivor because i didn't not allow my situation to take over. Every situation for me has been nothing more than an experience and a learning process. I look at all the decisions I've made, things I've said, the things I've done and the places I've been and i can honestly say I've grown up a lot. Its such an incredible feeling people.

Intro to Cha's Life

I am finally here people, I know it took me awhile to start a new blog but that's due to magnificent procrastination....Let me give you an update on me and my life for those who may be new to my blog. First and foremost, my name is Chanel and I also go by Cha. I live for love and I love life, I try to live by my motto everyday which is "live, love and learn to love yourself" because at the end of the day that's all you are left with. When the people that you thought would never let you down, turn their backs or walk away....all you are left with is yourself, so learn to love yourself because no matter who, what, when, where, or how you are hurt or disappointed, you have yourself to pick you back up. Lets move on to my day....March 4th....well it all started early this morning, I went to scores with some friends and got entirely too hot and passed out....OMG tell me about it, talk about WOW!!! Then I had to get up this morning to go to training for my job, which by the way was boring as ever. To top it all off, I have the flu so that's never makes things better but I know that everyday is not going to be a good one. There will be challenges everyday and some will be harder than the next but I keep pushing forward and I always come out on top.

This year started off so weird for me, I lost the one person I thought was my world and learned that person was the reason why I felt like I was going no where fast. The new year brought me a new beginning and a new start for Chanel and I am grateful for every moment of it. I have learned so much about myself and I have grown emotionally, mentally and spiritually....oh lets not forget financially, due to my non-stop motivation to want more out of life. I don't want to give out too much so Ill see y'all next time.
