Look What I Found

I thought I posted this...but I was tagged in the photo. This was truly and honor and an emotional experience. Being able to have this extraordinary woman be my professor. To sit in her living room after lessons and just listen to her talk. Her stories of Juilliard and James Brown, her experiences from her world travels. I had performed "Good Morning Heartache" a month before at an event and was approached once I got off stage. You would have thought I won the lotto lol.

Real Men Don't

Fellas, if you can yell in a woman's face, poke your finger in her face, threaten and invade her personal space....you are not a man. I am sure you wouldn't break bad like this to another man. Guys who do this are weak cowards.

What I Have Always Believed

Love

Being in Love doesn't mean being stupid!!! Just sayin ladies....or does it? Because some of ya'll don't care that he's with another woman AND you lol.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

A documentary on 85-year-old sushi master Jiro Ono, his business in the basement of a Tokyo office building, and his relationship with his son and eventual heir, Yoshikazu.

Going to my favorite sushi spot in DC, STICKY RICE!!!! They might as well permanently put my name on a booth!! I can't wait for us to go again. The crew and I always have a blast...remember this night?? I love being with all my friends...so much creativity in one room. It was dangerous how much sushi I consumed last summer lol....def slowed down this year. Anywho,I can't wait to see this movie and enjoying more sushi at Sticky Rice with friends and family.

Kim.Key and I had straight permed hair then...how time and things change. Good times though.

Great Day For Us

Perfect day, I am on my way to you baby!!

Over The Moon and Stars

Can we be anymore excited!!! I mean blessing after blessing. It just seems like every time I turn around something wonderful is happening for me. Thank you Lord!!!


My heart is so full and I am delightfully overwhelmed. I wake up recharged and focused. I feel more confident now in setting the path for where to move next. Gosh this is amazing....I am so tickled right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's start the count down!!

Suicide......REALLY???

I thought lying about being pregnant and getting married was desperate....but now she wants to kill herself? REALLY??????????????????????????????????  Nothing says "You are attractive" than threatening a suicide attempt. Crazy much? The moment he put it out there that he wanted his family, she flips out...I am talking coo coo for cocoa puff. I mean really? That's how you want him to remember you? He comes him and you done off'd yourself in the living room. I am not going to say I condone this...but I will say that trying to hold onto someone and something that does not want to be held onto never works....especially this way. It's desperate and most unattractive.

A Mother's Worry

My little one bumped his head and has a nice little lump on his head. While he is jumping and playing around like normal.....I on the other hand will be up all night watching him like a hawk.

Mack The Knife

This always makes me smile, love her Satchmo impression. In heaven tonight...nothing but Jazz.

Skype

I guess I feel like a live chat, Skype tonight baby!

# 1 Mom and Son!!!

This little guy goes up to Roosevelt's Statue and starts chanting Dr.King, Dr.King!!!
#Comedy

 My best friend and I

Because life feels just that awesome right now.

 Yeah we look good....and What??

Being his mother, his, friend, protector, provider, supporter, confidant, his rock means everything to me. This child is the best thing to ever happen. #Blessed


* It is very rare that I post pictures of my lil one, much less mention his name...so please enjoy. This is rare in this setting  and my friends and family get to see him in a controlled environment. I am not one for posting his pictures or other people's children's pictures online all the time. It's just not my thing, no judgment on others but I prefer to know where, and how the image of my child is put out there. I love this child with everything I have ,and protecting him is at the top of my list. Parents prosecute, sue, hand out a butt whipping to anyone who exploits your children!!!!

Randoms...

So kids say and ask the darnedest things like:

 Mommy whycome you always go to work, you work too much. Can you stay home for me?

Mommy don't start it!(He says this to me just as I was about to scold him)

Mommy, you look so pretty, you a Princess and I'm a Prince.

And the best one to date...
Mommy can you give me a baby? Me: Well little one, there are certain things that are needed for that to happen. Mommy you need Daddy to give you a baby. I'm going to tell Daddy to give you a baby.

I see talking about the Birds and the Bees may need to happen soon than later. It's amazing what kids know that we think they have no clue about. You think they don't see and understand what's going on but they do....can't fool them.


And on that note.....stay tuned for a big announcement regarding one of these cute little randoms.

I Just Want To Be Clear

So let me get this straight... You're hired on a temporary basis, you then complain to the higher ups that you should be allowed to stay on, you have no office skill set, yet when asked if you want to learn how to do something you pass???? No wonder they won't hire you. Always be willing to learn people. Show an effort to be effective and useful. It is always a good look when trying to secure employment.

Desperate Attempts At Nothing

People are not possessions. People are not prizes to be won, from one lover to another. To the victor go the spoils, I don't think so, not in this case. This is not a game, love is not a game. The most disgusting part is boasting as if you have really did something. Your reality is skewed and you have not won anything. Ladies bragging and boasting about owning and possessing a man is so tacky. It shows your desperate attempt to try and prove you have some sort of leverage, especially with the Ex. I literally can see this monkey dancing and singing na-nee-na-nee-boo-boo, thinking she has really accomplished something. Why keep calling me to remind me of the pretend love and happiness you share, delusions of grandeur I guess.

Oh by the way,you still have nothing.

Communicating To Our Children

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.

My child and I are extremely close. He refers to me as his best friend. I can't tell you how many times a day we swap hugs, kisses, and play. It's to the point where my own mom says " You two are sickening" I laughed so hard when she said that, we are in love what do you expect lol. I LOVE MY CHILD, I LOVE BEING A MOM!!

I find myself whispering words of encouragement and telling him, I will always love and support him. I tell him, that he will grow up to be a brilliant, loving, kind human being, and that  he will make an impact in this world. I tell him, he is willing and capable to be anything he wants. This may seem heavy because my beautiful little person is only four...but I speak God, life, prosperity, health, safety, wealth, love,perverseness..etc into his life.

When he's walking across that stage at the top of his graduating class to receive his Doctorate,I want him to hear me in his head saying "Son, I love you and I will always support you....you were born to be great."

I remember being pregnant with him, scared, alone...I would stand up, hold my belly and pace the floor of my tiny apartment. I would do this and start my conversations with God. I would go to him like I always did... and start to worship. I would give thanks, ask for strength and guidance to raise this child. I would ask that my child be a beacon of light to others, a leader, to love God wholeheartedly. So far the Lord has not failed me yet and I don't believe he ever will. 

Love on your kids, they are invaluable!

Thank you!!!

     I was awarded not once but TWICE for outstanding service at my job!!!! I am honored and excited and moved. I can't wait to hang them up. I am so thankful and humbled to have been chosen to do what I do. I will miss my staff and youth, they really made my job easy. When you have mentor who is willing, generous and able to show you the ropes....TAKE IT!!


When I look back at where I started from....MY GOD. I had some set backs, dreams deferred, highs and lows....BUT WHEN I LOOK BACK.....Hallelujah! I am so thankful! My dream career would have me and my child living all over the world!!!...something to aspire and reach for. Ready to leave the USA....already looking at a few things in the pipeline.

Demons Among Us

My pain may be the reason for someone's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for someone's pain.

I have never thought it was funny to laugh, make light, exploit, incite, enhance, bring attention to, gossip about, or  encourage someone's pain. It's just not right,  and have had this done to me....now someone's blatant stupidity....that's another story.

Body Beautiful

I Love My Curves and Curls. This photo shoot was tons of fun, I can't wait to work with this team again.

Fashion Forward

I am overwhelmed at the responses and post about this shoot. You guys have flooded my Facebook inbox and Twitter with such great energy. THANKS! Now to answer the question about my hair for this shoot. Who did it, the color, is it a wig? I wish I could share but I can't...well to be quite frank, I don't want to in this case. I love you girls, but If I told you all my hair secrets, all of you would walk around with hair like me lol. I have to keep some things close to my chest. I will however share make up and skin care tips with ya lol.

Real Talk

"What you won’t do Is try to come for me…you can be ride or die for your man all you want. If he's loyal...but in this case he's not sooooooo,  don’t be riding for a cause that you don’t know S%&$ about." I had to steal this little gem....loved it! Some men and women will try to defend and be all loud and wrong about their cheating mate. The crazy thing about it, is they may know about it all along and don't care if there being played. Keep on thinking you are # 1, you are just playing Boo Boo The Fool. Get some sense and open your eyes.
