     Challenging times of recuperation...

I found the will to live in my dying hour...

What does it truly mean to live in the moment? Is it to understand that this particular moment lives peace, understanding, joy, and truth of ones self?

There's often a moment when we cease to remember our dreams. There are times when we think, "What if?" We share many feelings of regret, when do we not seek the true aspirations of our heart.

It is my time for self fulfillment; I saved room for error; I developed patience in pursuing my goals; I let go of many dreams, only to put them into perspective; I decided to start and finish one goal at a time; I can't afford to quit; I won't; I shall finish my goal list, one by one; Even if I finish last.

I fear for those who do not have self-love. True happiness can not be sought within the minds of others. I pity those who do not seek truth within themselves. It becomes boring and uneventful to live someone else’s dream.

Choose you, you may become conformed, enriched by environment; but speak with the opinions of thine own.

Sometimes we reflect on the child within. The child which was never afraid of taking risks, ventured spontaneously without a second glance or ponder of consequence.

All our hopes seen in the clearest of views. Sadly, in years to come , and in moments of the present we get a false start, then we give up all together.

There are always choices that must be made. Right and wrong exists in your own conscience. Life is a challenge. The survival of the fittest.

I give you formal consent. The consent to act on the things you believe in, and encourage others to do the same. Before I came to understand my options and the business of re-organizing my life and its changes, my space on earth was disheveled.

It took a life and death situation for me to put things into perspective. A part of me died, in the confines of a cold hospital room; but when I reached the time of my release, I was reborn.

This is the beginning, my moment of truth, my time.

 My autobiography, begins today. I was born February 4th in the year 1979, but I had yet lived.

Today my life takes form. My career takes flight. My education is now in use. I have been many things, accomplished many goals; but those goals and dreams were not my own.

Today I live for me. This is me Aija Monique Butler, also known as Lovesjoy, as I live and breathe.

I have come full circle, 360 degrees. Now look into the eyes of a woman scorn, now reborn, beautiful me...
