I'm a little behind getting started, but I am indeed very grateful for another chance...in life, in business, in love. I'm using my Good, Bad and Ugly post as my first three days of this gratitude celebration!! As you'll notice, my good list greatly outweighs the bad. Enjoy!!

October was better than September emotionally, but I'm still not happy. However, I heard a Word and it was that it's not always about me. I have vowed to "give myself away" and set out to be a blessing to someone every single day. Even though I'm not where I want to be, I am blessed. Because I am, I am always in a position to bless others, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I know God will restore my joy (after all Latisha does mean joyful) and I'm pushing to get focused and serious about what I really want. No more time or room for complaining, just moving on along.
I'm looking forward to what is next!! I am grateful and blessed!!
How was your October?
