His tossing and turning somehow relieves me&lt;br/&gt;
I stare into his cocoa brown skin&lt;br/&gt;
I see perfection&lt;br/&gt;
He&amp;#8217;s so comfortable laying there&lt;br/&gt;
With no care in the world&lt;br/&gt;
That&amp;#8217;s when I love him the most&lt;br/&gt;
When he&amp;#8217;s not stressed out about expectations or obligations&lt;br/&gt;
Just laying in my bed :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://inspirationaldiva.tumblr.com/post/2487331069</link><guid>http://inspirationaldiva.tumblr.com/post/2487331069</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Dec 2010 16:48:09 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>This video makes me think.

Today I am just grateful for all of the blessings that I do have. I think it&amp;#8217;s so easy in life to fall in the  trap of always wanting more. I&amp;#8217;ve learned and am learning to enjoy the journey along the way, and enhance everything that I have now. Being grateful is intertwined with my spiritual beliefs so I try to practice it daily. Does it always work? No. Yet, when I fall short I just pray for salvation, and I  am restored again. Life with Christ has truly made me a better person. Every chance that I have to praise my wonderful creator, I just feel so renewed. It&amp;#8217;s a wonderful feeling. Everything that I have is because of his GRACE. I hope that you enjoy your day today as much as I will enjoy mine ♥ &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://inspirationaldiva.tumblr.com/post/1507437290</link><guid>http://inspirationaldiva.tumblr.com/post/1507437290</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Nov 2010 12:16:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"Don’t compare your life with what others have achieved.

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever watched something that visually captured your soul?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Made you look at the characters on the screen, and think of yourself?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reflect on situations in your own life that&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hurt you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Broke you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Molded you, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Released you, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trapped you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Renewed you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tears of pain filled your eyes as you think of yourself, or some other woman you know&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That have been through the fire, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Walked through the rain, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yet, eventually seen the sunshine?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some situations that take place in our lives&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That leave us speechless&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yet, there are movies that allow those words to speak &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speak through the soul of 9 women on the screen &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That force you to think of yourself, and others &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who&amp;#8217;ve been through the&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fire&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rain &lt;/p&gt;
