Inside Us All ♥

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’
The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’

I read this today and felt instantly connected to it. It's true for us all, so make a daily choice and feed the good wolf until the other starves and dies.

Luv, Nikki ♥

I'm Different Now ♥

Whenever any passionate writer like myself goes on an extended or intermittent hiatus it's usually because there is a significant change going on in their life causing them to have writer's block. Some of my changes were quite obvious, but most were not. When I first started blogging many years ago I was Completely Different. My outlook on life, my maturity level, my opinions...my everything. Over the years I've matured from a girl to a Woman ♥ in every since of the word. Sometimes I even confuse myself because I react to situations and people much differently. In the past I had less tact and even felt arrogant at times, but now those traits are comical to me, and I've been humbled enough through life's lessons to have more compassion and empathy. This blog is a reflection of a young woman that was constantly renewing herself. My positive uplifting words were for me just as much as they were for you. I've gone through ups and downs in life and I've reached a point Today actually, where I realized I am simply DIFFERENT. I'm still and will always be a work in progress, but I've definitely reached a new beautiful phase in life. Going forward I will always stay true to myself and my point of view will remain genuine.
Every Story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new Beginning ♥

God Bless :) Luv Nikki

Your NEVER too OLD to have FUN! My Birthday Post♥

So I made it to the precious age of 29 on January 3, 2012. It was an amazing birthday with lots of love and little surprises. My hubby even surprised me with a Hello Kitty pinata filled with my favorite Lindt chocolates since I told him earlier in the week that I always wanted one. I was determined to stick to my "Forever Young" theme on my special day and I plan to do so every Birthday.

If it's one thing I've learned about AGING over the years, it's the simple FACT that your only as old as you feel. I've accomplished a lot in life and it's all happening so fast! I plan to live every moment to the fullest and I simply REFUSE to ever feel old.

At 29 I feel wise, beautiful, and free and I hope you do as well no matter what age you are or what stage your at in your life. Simply Live, Love, Laugh and remain young at heart, it doesn't get much better than that :)

Thank-you 2011 ♥

To say that 2011 was the Best year ever would be an understatement!
I became a homeowner, married my Soulmate, snorkeled over the fishys in Hawaii, Purchased the 2012 Hyundai Sonata I wanted, spent quality time and made more memories with family and friends than ever before. This year was heavenly. It makes me emotional to see it go when it seems like my whole life, I've been looking forward to these moments!

All I can do now is look forward to More. GOD is simply GREAT.

"Hello 2012, All I Want From You Is EVERYTHING♥"

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! BE SAFE & ENJOY!
Love, Nikki

ONE DAY ♥

One Day this moment will be the past.
The way you look, feel, and think will simply be DIFFERENT.
Your career, your family, and your friends will have all changed in some kind of way.
If you don't believe me, just think about where you were 5 years ago :)
One thing certain in Life is change.... moral of the story... Make today something you will be proud of tomorrow. Make this time in your life something that will make you smile years down the line. No matter how tough, fight it out and be happy you made it through one day....No matter how easy, enjoy every second and don't take it for granted. One day we'll be in the future and that too, will again be the past. Live it up cuties :)

Love, Nikki♥

D.City Star ♥

I'm from D.C. and I love my city ;)

the night lights, the party scene,

the shopping, and the history have always inspired me.

My life growing up in North East

is nothing short of a Blessing, simply because it helped

mold me into who and what I am today.

I am and will forever be a D.City Star and vow to always shine.

GOD Bless ♥

Time 2 Live Happily Ever After ♥

Hello all, I'm finally back and though my return was influenced by a delicious alcoholic mixed drink, I'm here with a sober mind and ready to update my fabulous subscribers. First off I feel extremely blessed...I'm currently living a life I never imagined I would be living a couple years ago, but it's here, it's happening, and I'm living!

All the fun started with my Bachelorette party. My sister/maid of honor flawlessly put together a sequence of events that made for one of the most unforgettable nights of my life! Fine dining, beautifully decorated hotel suite with drinks, cupcakes and edible arrangements, my own 12 passenger limo, VIP at my favorite nightclub in D.C. and a bridal brunch the next day. 12 crazy party friends all came together to celebrate me as a bride and I partied like it was my last!
The wedding came soon after and I was a super calm bride, though a bit nervous about the weather. All I wanted was my beautiful garden wedding by the National Harbor; Thankfully, that's exactly what I got. The wedding went by super fast and I must admit that my favorite moments were getting dolled up with my favorite women in the world in the morning, and the evening walking hand in hand with my brand new hubby through the Gaylord National Hotel, partying at their rooftop nightclub (yes we're crazy), then Finally closing our eyes together as we went to sleep for the first time as husband and wife. After a year of planning, its quite comical to me that the moments that meant the most were all those simple unplanned, effortless moments. I guess that's what happens when you marry a man that makes you happy beyond words in a simple kind of effortless way :).
Speaking of happy, we spent our honeymoon in Maui Hawaii for a week and had the time of our lives. We enjoyed a luau, sunset cruise, beautiful beaches, delicious Hawaiian cuisine, and more. I highly recommend this place for couples. Its beauty surpasses any island I've been on. I'm now here sitting in our new home, blogging about a bachelorette party, wedding and honeymoon that was months ago but feels like yesterday. In other words LIFE MOVES FAST, SO EMBRACE EVERY MOMENT YOUR ALLOWED TO SMILE, TO LOVE, AND TO LIVE.
God Bless You All :) and Thanks Sooo Much For all the Congrats. I hope to be blogging back regularly soon!
Love Mrs.Nikki ;) ♥
