As 2014 Ends....

Are you guys ready for 2015?! I am. I have some good things happening for me. If all goes well I will be getting my certificate in Deaf Communications. I will also be traveling once again to my favorite place! I'm pretty sure you can guess what... Jamaica!! I freaking love it there!  The year 2014 has also taught me a few things. I learned that no matter how nice you are, how well you take care of your kids or whatever good you do, or how good things are going for you, someone will always have something bad to say about you. No matter what.  I learned to ignore people like this, because they are not happy with themselves. They hate to see you doing good and doing better than them.      I also learned that I really need to work on my forgiveness. I have a lot of things built up in me that I feel I would explode if asked about certain things if I were to come across certain people. I still have room to work on me.  I also plan on getting back into shape....

Forgiveness...

Hey everyone! Happy holidays. I wanted to write a little bit about forgiveness. This is something that  I struggle with. A LOT. I know some people probably have the same issue as well. Every now and then while I am cooking, watching a movie or mostly driving, my mind always travels back to a few years ago. I find myself getting so angry at what  I allowed myself to go threw. I get mad at mainly at the person who did me wrong. This person has been out of my life for quite some time now. As soon as  I think I can get over it. BAM! My mind goes back. I don't get sad, just flat out pissed! Why can't I get over that? Why can't I allow myself to be free of those thoughts? It's done, it's over , and I'm free! Why haven't I been able to forgive? I would really love to forgive and completely forget. I am very happy now. Any thoughts? Comments? Help!

You Don't Know Me!

This is a rant that I should have posted months ago! Like eight months ago! So here goes! Okay so my kids ,mom, and I were coming back from California. We had just left from a wonderful vacation at Disneyland. We were waiting in the passenger pick up lane and we walked past an older lady who was maybe in her 50's or 60's. She tells me that my children are pretty, proceeds to ask me "Are ALL those yours?" followed with a "Hmm you've been busy" comment.. I didn't have anything to say to this lady but "Yes ma'am" and "Thank you". Later on I thought about that short conversation that I had with her and I started to get angry. Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they call themselves saying something dumb or out of the way to you or about and you don't have a comeback until later on when it doesn't even matter? Well this is how I felt. I felt this way because she didn't even know anything about me and he...

The Toni Wig Pt. 2

I absolutely love this wig!  I got it from Tonidaley.com in the color 1b. I have gotten so many compliments on this hair! It blends in well with my natural hair. If you don't have one get one. It comes in different colors!

Jamaica again? Why yes!

Let me start off by saying I absolutely loooove this resort! It is my favorite place to be in the world! That will never change. I can't wait to go back!  Now about check in, it was smooth and great until we went to the concierge table and the lady who gave us our coupons made a remark about my name being hyphenated.What was the point of that? Really made me feel uncomfortable and a little angry. We stayed in room 3418 on the 4th floor. I really didn't care too much for the view and it kind of of put a damper on the trip just a little. I love to have a great view of the Caribbean sea and the sunset. Also one of the highlights of my trip is watching the huge cruise ship sail off into the sunset! This time however I had to leave the room and go downstairs to get a view of the sunset. Sorry I'm spoiled! Next time I have to be sure to ask for a room with an excellent view. The room was comfy as usual. Love the bed it's like sleeping on a cloud! First night there we we...

That Five Year Mark

Five years ago today, I was at work, having a regular day. I see an officer come through and he comes up to me and ask am I Alicia Moore? I thought to myself "Oh crap what did I do? I did nothing wrong?" Then he told me my husband had been in an accident and I needed to come with him. All these thoughts ran through my head as I grabbed my purse and proceeded to tell my boss that I need to leave. Everything happened so fast and I remember my coworkers staring at me as I  gathered my things. I will never forget this day and the events that followed. I dread this month every year. Pray for me this month y'all. Pray for his family and coworkers too.

My Stay At Disney Paradise Pier Hotel

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel from March 24- March 29th. I went with my three kids and my mother. I booked through a travel agent with Disney. We arrived at LAX and rode the Disneyland express which seemed like it took forever to come pick us up.  Once we got to the hotel there wasn't a line to check in in fact we went right up to the desk. It was almost like no one was there but only because everyone was at the parks. Check in was very smooth and quick. They gave each of my kids a balloon which they loved! I thought that was really nice.  I got a one bedroom suite on the 12th floor room 1222. I really liked the suite it was perfect for us. The room had a half bath off from the living room and a bathroom next to the bedroom. It also had a dining table, microwave and refrigerator. We had a awesome view of The Disney California Adventure Park. We were able to see The World of Color at night and the fireworks. The bathrooms had rotating shower heads. The room wa...

Support System

As you all know I had recently posted a video of my experience with domestic violence. I was really afraid to post this video because of what others might think, but posted it anyway because I was determined to help someone. I also realized that it wasn't about what others thought it was about getting my story out. So glad I posted it because I had people commending me on telling my story. I also had people thanking me because they had also been through the same situations. This let me know that I was not alone. When you are in situations like that you often feel very alone. Here I was afraid to post this and had no reason to. Me posting that video inspired some and also encouraged a young lady who is currently going through the same thing as I did. I told her that it would be okay and she would eventually find her way. I am just so thankful. I had a support system and didn't even know it. Don't always be afraid to tell someone. Not everyone is judgmental and they just ...

Relationship Abuse| My Story

My most recent video I discuss some of the things I went through in my last relationship. I was dating this guy who really used and abused me. He took advantage of me in any way he could. He disrespected me by bringing girls over to my house while I was away or at school. He cheated and cursed me out in front of my kids. He abused me mentally, verbally, and physically. He really had me fooled because I had knew him for years. He sought out my situation and went in for the kill. I was at my lowest point in this relationship because I was loosing my hair, I always felt sick and always had a headache. I never felt good.  I was severely depressed and felt like I had no way out. I felt like no one else would want me. This however was not the case. There were lots of people who wanted to get to know me, who wanted me. I just kept telling myself that they wouldn't. It was up to ME to decide whether or not I wanted to continue with this horrible relationship...

Americans Shoppers Network (Scam)!!

Today I received a call from the "American Shoppers Network" saying that I won $580,000. Now I started to believe this was true. The guy told me his name and gave me a claim number and a number to call. So I'm thinking okay this might be real, until he said that I need to either go to 7 eleven or dollar general to purchase a green dot money card and put $200 on it to cover fees for send them to be able to send the $580,000 amount.  Pure bull! The number I got a call from has a Jamaica area code It is 876-430-3715. I did research on the it as well and could not find any info on them, I did however find out that it was a scam. There were people actually sending them money. So BEWARE IF YOU GET A CALL FROM THE "AMERICAN SHOPPERS NETWORK"!! They will tell you that they are affiliated with Global International. If they contact you please do not send them any money!
