About Me

My photo
Mother of 2, Child of God in DMV "They always ask me if I make it am I going to forget about them, but the question is, if I don't make it will they forget about me?" My spin : RealTalk When u are up everyone wants to hang on, but look for the ones that let you lean on when you are down. Remember...don't just look for me when I am up, support me when I'm down. ♥ In prosperity, your friends know you, in adversity, you know your friends. I asked God for strength, I got adversity. I asked God for wisdom, I was made a fool of. I asked for patience, I had a difficult relationship. I looked back, He gave me what I asked for. Adversity showed me I was stronger than I thought; being a fool opened my eyes to discernment making me wise; the difficult relationship showed me that patience is earned not given. Blessings come in many forms, not all of them recognizable.

Values

What do you value?  I heard this question posed in a movie and it made me think, what do I value?

The object invoked has disconnected

I just need to get away from my thoughts.  Some days I think I am ok, then I get a reminder that I am mentally fragile.

Empathy...I get it now

One of the most fascinating blogs I have found is written by a Grady Doctor in Atlanta.

PS to my STUCK Post

The Stuck post was kind of timely in a weird way.  Celine Dion's husband Rene is dying..and when they interviewed her,

Ahhhh....it's 1991 again

I was transported back to 91 again this weekend. I debated whether to write about this. So Back in 1991, I was in love with "Philly". At that time, I was active duty and was stationed on a ship that went in the shipyards in Philadelphia.  I met Philly a little before that (sometime in 1990) when I was stationed in Norfolk and burning up the highway between PA and VA since that is where my mom lived.  So while I was stationed at home, we became inseparable.

Day 22 Visions


22. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

Day 21. Superwoman


21. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it first?

Hmmm...ESP Extra Sensory Perception.  The first thing I would do would be to use the ability to communicate with spirits and talk to my mom.

Stuck

One of my favorite bloggers is Faith.   I have been following her since she  first started blogging.  I can't even remember how I found her.  But anyway, this isn't what this post is even about.  On August 8, Faith  

Day 19. Living like it's golden


19. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

Exactly where I am now.  I have always wanted to come back to the DMV.  I knew Atlanta would not be my final stop.  I love the history, culture and atmosphere of the metro area.

Eargasims....

So Monday, I went to an open mic at Busboys and Poets in Shirlington....and I hit the mic...yep...I hadn't really hit the mic since I have been here in the DMV.  I was sprung...again...yes I have missed the mic.  I have missed hearing rhythmic, soul stirring perspectives.  I have missed melodic tales of escapades...yes I am addicted to the mic and Monday, I went and got my fix.

Somehow I let life get in the way and pull me away from my creative outlet...never again.  I will be at it again...coming soon to a mic near you.

Singing.  Like I wish I could really blow.

Day 15 Animal Attack

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

hmmm...this is a hard one I got it...I would want to be an Eagle. Eagles have keen eyesight, and have been known to mate while soaring...reducing any chance of mating with a non-eagle.  Why is this important?  Because then I would know that without a doubt, I found who I was meant to be with.

Besides, my favorite scripture mentions Eagles too.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.

Day 14 I'm Strong

14. Describe 5 strengths you have.

1. I am flexible.  It may not seem like a strength to you but follow me for a minute.  I can adapt to any environment.  I can go from the classroom to the boardroom, from the country club to the night club, from the suburbs to the hood.  That is a feat not easily mastered.   Don't believe me?  Just try to take someone out of one of those environments where he/she has thrived and stick them in another, most are somewhat awkward, can't seem to find a middle ground and are just downright uncomfortable and it shows.

2. I am analytically driven.  The same weakness is also a strength.  Because I analyze things, I often can vary my approach and reach a consensus among the masses.

3. I am dependable.  I do what I say, am supportive and try to be the best human I can be.

4. I am loyal.  I am loyal.  I can be your biggest ally.  I am supportive and will go to the ends of the earth for those I trust.

5. I am adventurous.    I will try just about anything once.  I jump in my car and will drive to check out a wine festival, a beach or anything that interests me.  I am not afraid to venture out alone.
