Baltimore Ravens Cheerleader DECLINED!

I was reading an article this morning, about a five year veteran Raven Cheerleader who was not invited to cheer at the Raven's Super Bowl Game. As I reading, I wanted to make sure that I didn't prejudge until I actually heard the reason as into why the cheerleader was upset. But when I got further into the story and her reasons of wanting to be heard, I was truly upset. I'm sorry but for some reasons this makes me think of a envious woman somewhere who decided to teach this girl a lesson. Someone who has been on their team for five years, and has even been featured in magazines for being one of the hottest cheerleaders in the NFL, was not ask to come back! Seriously. Why can't women be for one another. I may be jumping the gun on this one, but I see jealousy written all over this story.

This is why people and "women in general" become confused in life when making life decisions: Judgement. You never know how someone is going to feel about our choices, or who may be affected, but when in reality is about making OUR own life happy. Courtney made a life decision to further her career after graduating from college, and was not shown a pat on the back, but a kick in the rear for retiring. I think it's ridiculous and she deserves to cheer as this will be her last year.

Live and Love

A new year, another year, another longevity to success, maybe...geez..whatever. The way things are now in life not much matter accept surviving and protecting those around you. I didn't celebrate much coming into the new year, since every year before this one when I did celebrate there seem to have some struggle I fought getting over or living through. So to avoid the consistent not so lucky struggle or anticipation of something great, I went into the new year as if it was another day that God bless me to see. Another day that I was able to have and spend with my family.

I don't think thats wrong. Just a way to cope with another year that may have challenges and trials. I didn't come into it thinking negatively, just to avoid dissapointment that has yet to happen. WHAT IS THAT? This is how many of us think today. Let's avoid it, so that we dont have to be severely dissapointed. If we think like this.. we will never live!. Never see the things that are truly meant for our happiness and success. Falling in Love and getting your heart broken is living, and the great part is learning. You get better with each season. So don't cheat yourself out of living your life. My pastor Joel always says, you don't want to wait until you get to heaven and see your heavenly closet filled with boxes containing your blessings that you never were able to experience while you were living. Live life, make it through the struggle, smile no matter what. Becuase when you give up, you've already place defeat on your life.
