Winter Blahs. . .

I'm sitting here waiting for creativity to flow through me and feeling a bit blah. I truly believe it's due to developing cabin fever dealing with the brutal winter here in the Midwest and the desire to do something wild and exciting!!! I guess I'm looking for that next big thing, trying to keep myself busy!!!

Life has become a bit mundane these past couple of months which has caused me to become a bit bored and restless. On top of that Valentine's Day is around the corner and for the first time in years I do not have a Valentine. Which I'm not sure how I feel about that??!! We'll see as the day nears. . . .

Dating hasn't been a problem. I've met some very interesting and entertaining men. Some nice, some not so gentlemen like, but I have yet to find that special one though I know he is out there!

Meanwhile I'll just keep myself busy with being a mom and a growing business woman. Staying positive, staying strong and living in the light!!!

What's With The Dating Scene

I've been single for about three to four months now and I have to say the dating scene is certainly interesting.

It's not that I have trouble finding men to date, I have trouble finding the men who are true gentlemen.

Fading away seems to be the days of courting. Drifting are the days where a guy tries to impress a woman with flowers and words.

Now it's buy you lunch, buy you dinner or a drink and try to get you into bed that same day or night. Though I'm a passionate woman, I find the tactics demeaning and disrespectful, especially when there is NO instant attraction.

Through it all I remain optimistic that the one will find his way to me.

So I continue to drench through the losers, liars, and b.s.er's till the right one comes along.

Life's Journey

I have to admit that it's been a very interesting couple of years with all the things I've been through but it's been a growing experience to say the least.

Through my travels in life I continue to be optimistic no matter what the situation is. To me, there's no such thing as failure just obstacles to over come and learn from. There are many blessing in my life that I am so grateful for and I continue to be blessed on a regular basis.

I've been busy building up my real estate business - www.realtorsabrinahayes.com. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. So much work and time involved but I enjoy it, especially the wonderful people I get to meet.

I know a lot of people are wondering if I'm still modeling and the answer is yes. I have managed to continue doing so with all the other things I have going on. In fact, I do have a couple of photo shoots coming up. Pictures will be posted on my facebook page and maybe on my site.

Meanwhile it's CMH Fashion Week here in Columbus, Ohio and I'm preparing to attend the many wonderful events leading up to the main one. So if you're in town why not check it out.

I know it's been awhile since my last post. So much has been going on I really don't know where to start.

All I can say right now is that I've been to hell and back and my life continues to receive so many blessings.

It's been a rough journey but my amazing children and my faith has seen me through the dark times and now I can smile once again while enjoying my life and my new found freedom. It's funny though, throughout it all I've always and will continue to be optimistic.

There were times where I didn't think I could handle it all, I wanted to give up but I just couldn't because I knew for me there was no such thing as quitting. The word can't just could not nor would not exist in my world.

One lesson I did learned from my ordeal was that, one should never let another person have control over them. NEVER!!!! We have control of our own lives and should never give that control over to another. We are the masters of our fate and we should always remember that. I know I will and I have.

I've taken back control of my life and I'm becoming much stronger with each and every life lesson.
I'm still modeling, still trying to break into the acting scene, added real estate agent to my list of skills and continuously working on other projects all while being an awesome mom to my beautiful
treasures.

Socially, I've been getting back out there, attending a few events here and there. lounging mostly at Eleven and Sushi Rock. Still looking for that amazing dance place for the 30 and over crowd. Maybe I should consider opening one ;)

My love life, well that's another topic all together. . .lol

Regardless, life is good and it only gets better!!!

As the saying goes, "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."

Oh My What A Ball!!!

I really enjoyed attending the Columbus Arts Masquerade Ball with my friends. Which was a fundraising event for The OSU James Cancer Center. We had such an amazing time!!! In fact I had too much of an amazing time and paid for it the very next day big time but it was well worth it!!!!

For those who would like to donate to The OSU James Cancer Center, please follow the link: http://cancer.osu.edu/waystogive and please give generously!!! Thank you!!! xoxo

Other than attending events such as the Masquerade Ball and the grand opening of Columbus newest hot spot Fleur. Which is a Champagne, vodka dessert lounge inspired concept (by the way love the concept, the decor and atmosphere!!). I've been doing photo shoots, preparing for my role as a vampire and trying to get into other projects to keep myself busy. One thing for sure, though I love Columbus I have to start traveling very soon. I think the problem with me having very little inspiration is because I've become too complacent and I need to spread my wings once again and travel to my favorite places such as New York, Chicago, Miami and maybe finally make my way to Las Vegas baby!!!

Have to recharge!and reestablish myself!!!

By the way!!! Here are some up and coming local events to check out!!

• In Christy's Shoes - High Hopes in High Heels Charity Event
• Fashion Week Columbus 2011 Launch Event
