Stuff I Write About

A special message for ladies, it's as the songwriter wrote: "Sometimes you have to encourage yourself..." Be Blessed ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why isn’t being who you are today good enough? Why do you need to be a heroic ideal, a mental projection of who you think you should be in some tomorrow? Thinner, richer, lighter or darker, happier, a heroine of community efforts and savior of the modern world Don’t you k now who you are today is already enough? “You” right now in the present is enough. It is good to have dreams and goals, but do not lose sight of today’s reality because your vision is so far into the future. Don’t miss the blessing under your nose, in your house, in your bed, at your job. Love you in the now and God and the Universe will thank you for it. Be your own best friend, cheerleader, champion, and advocate. Tell yourself – how beautiful you are, how smart you are, how much you love those round hips and big eyes. Mean It. Be th...

Just sharing some wisdom in a prose that is just a reminder to some if not all: LIVE ! “Hey Hey Hey… Death Angel, Death Angel done came to see me, so I knew my time wouldn’t run me much longer. I gotta.. I gotta go, Gotta let the wind know How much I appreciate the cool air on my cheek. Gotta let the foundations of the Earth know How much I appreciate the ground under my feet. How I love bird song..and the night long. You know when, like sometimes I can’t sleep and I’m just up. But I appreciate being up and being alive. Hey Hey Hey… I gotta…I gotta go, Gotta let my family know How much I’ll miss them Gotta let my friends know How much I love ‘em and their laughter and their comfort How I appreciate their presence Death Angel, Death Angel done came to see me, and it..it ain’t much time for me left. But then again, it never was. I gotta.. I gotta go, Gotta let that man know, I ain’t neva been one to fall in love recklessly be fo’, But Jack, I’m ready to tumble down that hill if’n...

Listen to your inner voice ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If I may The Devil gotta funny way of keeping the mind so preoccupied that you nev'a getta chance to really - think To really- sink deep down into the core of yourself so much so that you can hear that echo sound when no one else' around you feel yourself reverberate. Fate bounces of the walls of you soul and fills those holes you had your big car, plasma t.v., black card, and designer shoes in. Sometimes when you lose control, you really win. The devil gotta funny way of keeping the mind in a state of static shock keeping us locked and in awe of what we ought and ain't got When we really ought to be glad we got at all Static nev'a changing The Devil is funny that way.

This bout of prose comes out of experience, lessons from a battle that I want to share with anyone struggling with themselves about who they are or what they should do in life. I understand your grief, but I submit to you follow the path of joy and throw out the unknown, when fighting, passion and purpose are bullies they'just double-team you anyway.Date: Anyday Time: 3 O'Clock Place: Passion meets Purpose, After Class When the Real Learning Begins +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Today passion pushed my back up against a wall, while purpose looked on over its shoulder. I cried out, "Enough! You can have my lunch money already. I need to go on a diet anyway."I've been eating too much junk lately.just snacking on whatever would appease my fancy,just to take up time,just to occupy my mind - with things that don't matter much.just so I wouldn't have to hear the quickening of my heart beat when I saw y'all coming.just so I ...

**Just Something to Think About*** Happy Love Month I sit and watch love pass by, behind a giant glass, like sea things in an aquarium. Hoping, wishing, that it will circle back around me so I can get a better glimpse this time. Stretching and craning my neck to get one last view. Then it's gone. Knowing I'll never touch it, bound by this glass, I leave the tips of my fingerprints pressed against its coolness. And my heart yearns. So.. I sit and watch love pass by, behind a giant glass, like sea things in an aquarium. It circles, dips, and dives, not knowing its contained, not remembering what it's like to be free. Quiet and content and oblivious to me. Why won't it look my way? Why won't it take hold of me? Why won't this glass crack like my heart does? So I can jump on love's back and we could ride off on a wave to the sea So I press my face against the glass to listen to sounds of undercurrent circumstance And imagine the impossible. I look up and wonder...

Whenever I find myself looking over my shoulder I'm grateful God keeps me from turning into a pillar of salt. Be careful of who and what you surround yourself with. Be mindful of negativity, sometimes it is cloaked in kind faces. The world is a sad place when everything is against you. Be grateful for some things that have slipped away and always look to the hills from which cometh your help. It's brighter on the horizon and it is hard to move forward looking backward. "The secret is not to figure it out, just live." - A. McCray

Dear Family, This year as I grow a year older I learn a valuable lesson, an amazing revelation that I just have to share. - Don't Faint and Don't Give Up, Galatians 6:9 says "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not ." KJV . International Standard Version states "Let's not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest-if we do not give up." The Enemy is the Inner Me In 2007, I began having fainting spells, physically due to anxiety and spiritually due to discouragement. I'd been working very hard with very little reward, wondering why in the world is everyone around me more blessed than me, why do I work so hard, why am I so concerned when so many are not, why, why, why? I began asking, WIFM (what's in it for me). I was at the crux of chosing a Bitter or Better attitude and the latter was losing. Sometimes the "Enemy" is the "Inner Me", a master in...
