**Above everything else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.** -Proverbs 4:23

About Me

I have learned that life is what you make it. You ultimatly choose whether you have a good day or a bad day. We all struggle, we all fall down...yet its not about learning to just ride...life is also about those falls. Each moment has its rightful place in each day...whether that moment makes you feel good or bad. God will always bless you with the people you need in your life and He will always guide you through each obstacle you face. Your attitude is key...you can have faith and hope that you are headed in the right direction, or you can focus on the bad moments and be miserable. I choose to work through the hard times and celebrate life in both good and bad times. In my low and high points I will praise God and try my best to see His beauty in each situation. Remember to be real and raw...only then can your true beauty shine. Life is at your fingertips...grab it and GO! Live life and love it...

Tyra..."It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Music:


“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” -Charles R. Swindoll
