Never say Never...or...No Creo En El Jamas

Many of you who know me...know that a couple of years ago I got a tattoo emblazoned on my arm...it reads...No Creo En El Jamas.  Which in translation is kinda like NEVER say NEVER...its means that I don't believe in the impossible...That nothing can NOT be acheived.  It is also the title of a Juanes song that is about that struggle of a man clinging to life and perservering through it with the support of his family and his faith in God...it says that when you feel at your lowest you put your undying love and faith in God and you will get through anything.  It was kinda unbeliveable the way I first heard this song..I was on my way to donate and it came on...I had just for a brief second left the hospital where my dad lay in a coma. I started immediatley crying like crazy hearing these beautiful words booming out of the radio speakers...I still get tingles when I listen to this song and how much it related to my life at that very second. Right then I decided that these words belonged forever on my arm for me to remember that very moment that would change me forever... So that is how my tattoo came to be...but the irony lies in how much truer these words would continue to play in my life for the rest of that year.  Never say never I say....because those of you who say Never...might just get some surprises.  I have heard..."I would NEVER do this...or I would NEVER do that"  So many women I have heard say "I would NEVER get a divorce...NEVER...we have a perfect marriage" when infact maybe their heart secretly aches a little everytime they make this extreme declaration.  "Are you CRAZY..she says...I would NEVER have more kids."....and freinds tell eachother "I would NEVER leave your side." Well...the truth is no one should ever say never.....because that never might just become your right now.

  I married my best friend in 2000...and yes I know...I know...marrying your best friend should be a good thing...infact....a great thing.  However, this best friend of mine was literally my best friend....sure I LOVED him...I still DO....infact I love him today the very same way I did on that January afternoon I walked down that beautiful aisle wearing that Beautiful dress and witnessed by all our loved ones.  But ....it was destined that we would be AMAZING parents together and not the loves of each others lives.  I was not that woman that said NEVER to divorce....but I said ALWAYS for doing and following the path that was paved for me.  I didn't ponder that NEVER...I definitly did NOT ponder that "Oh my God...what will people think?"  or "I'm scared"....what I did do was give myself what I pray my kids will do for themselves ALWAYS and that is to EMBRACE HAPPINESS...whatever way, shape or form....Dear Lord I pray my kids will be as happy in their lives as they are today...blessed with 3 parents that love them intensly and unconditionally.

So this "motto" of mine has sure lead me down an interesting road.....I found him....the love of my life...and he not only found me...but he found us all.

I promise to live...I promise to love...I promise to laugh...and I promise to NEVER say NEVER.

*PLEASE.....take a moment to read and absorb every single word.....hopefully it will move you to tattoo it on yourself as well.....OR NOT?

I don't believe in 'never'

When life hits me and gets me down
is when I feel the most the need to rise up
that facing the fear is a way to defeat it
I won't give up, I won't give my life to fear
fear is a murderer who kills the feelings
everytime I am alone is because God is here, inside

And I need silence to be able to find
my own voice and my truth
And at the and of darkness
I don't feel alone, I know you are with me

Today I'll rise and I won't resign my heart
to do what I wanted but I wasn't able to
I won't accept today, I will try to be better
life has a solution, there's nothing impossible
I don't believe in "never"...no!

If giving up is a way of dying
then I never want to please death
I think about my family, my heart beats stronger
One can't live thinking about the day he'll die
and they say that dreaming is like dreaming while being alive
And I believe in the present, and that is getting me away from death

And I need silence to be able to find
my own voice and my truth
And at the and of darkness
I don't feel alone, I know you are with me

Today I'll rise and I won't resign my heart
to do what I wanted but I wasn't able to
I won't accept today, I will try to be better
life has a solution, there's nothing impossible
I don't believe in "never"...no!

NO Creo en el Jamas

Cuando la vida me da golpes y me manda para el suelo
es cuando yo mas siento que tengo que levantarme
que dar la cara al miedo, es una forma de vencerlo
no voy a darme por vencido, no voy a darle mi vida el miedo
el miedo es un asesino que mata los sentimientos
siempre que estoy solo, es porque dios esta aqui adentro

Y necesito silecio para poder encontrar
mi propia vos y mi verdad....
Y al final de la oscuridad
no me siento solo, se que estas conmigo

Hoy voy a levantarme y no voy a resignar mi corazon
hacer lo que quice y no pude
No lo voy a aceptar hoy, voy a buscar estar mejor
la vida tiene solucion, aqui no hay nada imposible
no creo en el jamas.... no! (X2)

Si darse por vencido es una forma de morir,
entonces yo jamas quiero darle el gusto a la muerte
Pienso en mi familia, el corazon late mas fuerte
Que no se puede vivir pensando en cuando se va a morir
y dicen que sonar es tanto como sonar estando vivo
Yo creo en el presente y eso me aleja de la muerte

Y necesito silecio para poder encontrar
mi propia vos y mi verdad....
Y al final de la oscuridad
no me siento solo, se que estas conmigo

Hoy voy a levantarme y no voy a resignar mi corazon
hacer lo que quice y no pude
No lo voy a aceptar hoy, voy a buscar estar mejor
la vida tiene solucion, aqui no hay nada imposible
no creo en el jamas.... no!
