Not Easily Broken!


I woke up this morning and did my normal routine go one facebook and media take out. As I was on facebook I started to read some status updates that was posted and as I was reading I just had an EPIPHANY. I AM TRULY BLESSED! I AM A WALKING AND LIVING TESTIMONY THAT THERE IS A GOD he is not done with me yet. I AM NOT THAT EASILY BROKEN! This past year I know for a fact that is was a test to see if I can stand the heat! I may have needed to cool off a few times but I can stand it now! I have been through a lot. From not knowing who I really am as a person to having to let some friends go in my life. I finally feel like I am coming into MY OWN finding who out just who CLEJOI VIVIAN HARLEY is and where she belongs in life. I now know that God is placing the right people in my life and taking the bad ones out. I use to say I was living for my niece's and nephews, well now I can say I am living for ME! I can now hold my head up high and say I have a reason and a purpose of being here!

Unanswered Questions


So for the past couple of weeks my heart has been weighing heavy upon my grandmother Vivian also known as Nani. Even though she is no longer with me here on earth she is forever in my heart and on my mind. I always think if I had one more shot or even one more day with her WHAT will I say? WHAT will we do? WHERE would we go? WILL it just be us? and Most important of them all WHAT WILL I WEAR? I think of all these questions but yet I am still with no answers. I know that one day we will meet again but until that day all I can do is DREAM OF HER! One poem that I think of when it comes to my grandmother is:
Dream
Last night I dreamt
This most strange dream,
And everywhere I saw
What did not seem could ever be:

You were not there with me!

Awake,
I turned
And touched you
Asleep
Face to the wall.

I said,
How dreams
Can lie!

But you were not there at all!
