For Reals I am Tired

     This week has been so full, full of everything. I have my nephew and niece over and Jackson, a ton of fun but a bunch of work. Father's Day was amazing the kids and I had lunch and played the rest of the beautiful day. It was great being honored even though I am not a father, I just do the work of one,lol. It was also great to honor the men who really step in to help me, I really appreciate them.

 God help me,I miss my old life and I pray for the struggling families like myself affected by the crush in the economy. Recession

Beware of the Crazy Folks

When people call you crazy, it's just their way of say you don't exist. Often times when people say and do things other folks don't agree with, it's easier for them to dismiss you by calling you crazy.

It's rude and very insulting and often times used way to loosely. Oh don't mind him or her there "crazy"...in other words don't listen to them, what they have to say does not matter. Be careful who you call crazy, you could be missing out on some great in site.

"The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. 'I don't understand this person. So they're crazy.' That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick."
Dave Chappelle

I want to live in a world where hate does not exist.

Please, before you watch this, know that it is very offensive to African Americans and all Americans. This video pissed us off and made us holler back at the screen. Their actions and portrayals appear to be just as hateful and dangerous as the KKK.

Sleep where is it at 3:37 am

Lil has awoken, he's calling my name...well "Ma" like a million times. He's agitated and so am I. I want to sleep... He screams "Ma"!!! to the top of his lungs. Go to bed baby, Mama is tired.

Forgive

So back in the day when I fronted a band, I had a blow out with a former member. He said some things and done some things I said some things, it was really bad. I felt disrespected in the situation and needed him out of the equation. So he has since reached out to me twice, the first time I ignored him and this time I asked the question.

What do you want from me? Why do you keep trying to be my friend? I explained to him why I distanced myself and he asked to be forgiven. He apparently was not in a good place in his life and took it out on others. I can understand that and I can forgive him. I am not saying we are going to be kicking back with a few brews but I have let our past go.

There are things I have learned to let go and I am working hard to structure who I am to deal better when people are not kind. I know we will all make mistakes, I just have to allow folks to use my life as the foundation to make them. Forgiving, letting go and embracing.

Jesus said that you forgive them 70 times 7. However, this does not mean that you have to be their friend or take them back.
