Step Your Life Game Up

So there was a moment of clarity when when she said it... You get what you expect and you deserve what you allow. I was like wow, that is deep, of course it was borrowed from an old soul but the sentiment was just the same.
I had been going over somethings with myself for a couple of days and realized that you have to continue to press for what you want in life. We all know...well most of us know nothing comes easy and some things just land in our laps.
Realize that whatever shade of stupid does not look good on the average person and you should never allow anyone to influence you with there own dysfunctional rhetoric. A lot of times people who are so set in their own beliefs due to fear of transition, progress or just personal happiness will also try to convince you that the sky is green.

If it's that job you have been wanting, go after it. If it's respect give it and you will get it. Step your life game up and you will see your blessings flow. Giving of yourself is one of the most selfless things you can do in any area.
If it's love you desire and you want to be courted a certain way...who says you can't have it the way you want it,need it, pray for it? I find clarity about a lot of things if I put it out there in the universe, usually I'll get the answer that puts my mind at ease.

It's a personal goal of mine to not be so scary and say exactly what is on my heart or messing with my mind. I am starting to realize folks will still love you, they will still like you and they will still hate you so what difference does it make. So to all my fellow scary folks out there I pray that you step your life game up, get the love you deserve and give of yourself.

The Color of My Voice

My cast mates love the color of my voice, I am officially flattered.

Heavy on my Mind

Going to pray, school on my mind...don't want to drop out. So much on my mind...I wish I could just escape for the weekend. Somewhere where the leaves are falling and I can relax..oh the lil one can come too lol.

Scribes from 2005

So I flew down to Charlotte, NC and I must say It was beautiful. My friend bragged since the moment we meet how nice it was. I never thought about living anywhere else but DC but I don't know folk Charlotte is in the running. My God-brother didn't`t make it down and so Kenyatta and I hung out on our own. I can say it`s really nice to hang out with progressive Black men, my God-brother included. Their funny,know how to have a good time, respectful,and really have there eyes on the prize.
I met Kenyatta almost a year ago and I can say that after that weekend with him he will definitely be a brother I can call a friend, It`s so good to know there are still men out there that are not trying to get into you panties.

I will admit I worried about that initially before I got down there and I was pleasantly surprised when he didn't`t make a move. I guess in the world of guys and dolls this doll has had little faith in guys. I don`t have many male friends and I am so glad to have this one in my life. Back in DC/VA another storm is brewing, my ex-beau/beau

Loving You

I'm a romantic at heart...just a love scribe that came to me. No one in particular, just felt good.
I remember when you came into my life, I was scared for you.
I wasn’t ready for you, I wasn’t ready to love you, and my heart wasn’t open to receive you.
I looked at you as an obstacle I had no idea how to approach you/ this.
As I watch our relationship grow, I stand in awe and amazement.
You are the thread that holds my temperamental life together. I can’t phantom life with out you. Through your eyes you have given so much by how you view the world, I remember I was once like that. I can’t thank you enough for the gifts you give.

Beautiful you

Beautiful you chocolate and new.
Surprising me each and everyday.
Honest and true with nothing to lose.
You show me that dreams do come true.
You came without asking and give without thinking.
So full of beauty I never even knew.
Beautiful you chocolate and new.
Surprising me each and everyday.

I was thinking of my nephew when I wrote this
He will be five on September 26, 2000
I never knew I could love someone so much.
The feelings I have are so much at times I feel like I am going
to burst. My heart is so full of love for him.
He is a master and commander and he has no clue.
It’s so amazing to me how he forced me to want to do better for myself.
I was faced with the realization that I have to do better so he can live.

He could live with love and hope and dignaty.
He will have a chance in this world and I will do whatever,however so his life here
on earth has a fighting chance,and it will not be in vain.

Smile

So life has been interesting in 2011. School was brutal and I still have one more final to take, piano cramped fingers my lawd...God help me. It's been quiet on my blog because of the stalker(s) that I have. I promise that as soon as I clear it all up I'll go back to my public forum. Until then be well and live life until the wheels fall off.

2011

If you're going to be childish,then you need to associate yourself with a different breed of people. When are some people going to realize all that crap they are saying out their mouth is 99% far away from the truth and 1% of it is clearly from the person who told you. Immaturity doesn't make you a better person it makes you ignorant and stupid. GET IT TOGETHER IN 2011

PURGING,PACKING,PUSHING FORWARD

I don't know where the wind will blow my little guy and I but wherever it is will be perfect. I am not afraid anymore...seeking closure and deliverance from bondage My little one is so amazing,life is perfect with him in it. I can't imagine not being with him...so excited for our new lives
