You Got To Have Faith!

  I got up this morning a little earlier than usual especially on this Sunday morning..I just couldn't sleep because I have a few things on my mind...Have you ever been this way? I got up this morning and slipped on my favorite red robe ..The one that's a little tattered and torn. It just seems to be the most comfortable. I'm sure you have one too. I perked up the coffee pot and now, I'm just sipping my good cup of coffee and thinking about people in the US and people around the world.

In these challenging times some people are just trying to hold on for a better day. But, I want you to know that its coming. I want you to know that tomorrow is different than today. I want you to know that God hears your prayers and that he is moving mountains to make a change. I want you to also know that you have the power within to change your despairing situation. Those without a job and seeking work a change is coming but in the meantime if you think about it don't wait on man..Think about what you have under your feet at this very moment that you can go from rags to riches. Here are a few pointers:

 Think of something that you know how to do best?

a. Are you the best cookie maker? Bake your best batch of cookies and sell them.

b. Can you sew? So start stitching and hemming for your neighbors to start.

c. Do you have nice clothes that are too small for you and your family? Sell them on yard sale or Ebay!

d. Are you good in math or science? Tutor a child in need.

e. Are you a good cook? Make a job..Get bonded and become a chef for a day!

f. Is there a book that's stuck in your head that's begging you to bring it to form? Start writing it.

g. Go to college..Don't be afraid of not having money for school..Get those school loans..Do something!

h. Got an invention idea? Research it and bring it to market...Don't be afraid of the no's..One day is a "Yes."

i. So what you have to get out of that foreclose home..Hold your head up high and move into an apartment and out of that headache before it kills you....You can always start a new..Believe me!

j. Sell Avon..Borrow $50.00 and sell Avon..This goes for male/female. Be the best Avon Rep in the world!

Well you get the idea...Don't be afraid to change your life. You don't have to stay in the environment you were born in and that you are presently in. God has given us the knowledge and all we have to do is pursue it by research to develop it.  You got to have "Faith" that you can do anything and that all things are possible. Don't wait on the President, your mama, husband or significant other to change your life for better. Somethings are beyond their control...But only you have the real power to change your life and that's by doing something to make a change and stop waiting on other people to do it for you. Sometimes we give up too easy. Always have a plan because if things don't work out the first time - Always go to plan B and C.

My message this morning is to have "FAITH."

Don't think for one minute that I haven't had challenges -

That is why I can tell you about "FAITH."

I want you to know that tomorrow will come and that the Sun will shine -

You and only You have the power to make a change!

I Need You To Stay

Have you ever loved someone so hard but no matter what you did and how you did it - He didn't stay. Have you ever had a forbidden fruit? You want it - You even convince yourself that you need it - But in the end it wasn't good for you....Have you ever had this kind of love? When I first heard this song, I was sitting in my family room just turning the cable channels and being the music lover that I am I heard this incredible voice coming from my television. I was mesmerized because for one - I love music and I am a fan of all music be it soul, classical, rap, jazz, gospel or country and saw this talented female with this amazing voice singing this song with just a guitar player. She put so much soul into this song and the lyrics and the way she sings this from the heart just brought me to tears - I knew she had gone down this road. This song title "Stay" by country duo group Sugarland is one of my favorites.

In order to sing this song like she does, you've had to travel down this road. Every woman in the world wants love and needs love. Every woman has a desire to love and be loved because we were born that way. In my book "Mutts and Thoroughbreds:A Girls' Guide" @ http://www.amazon.com/  (Chapter 1) titled "What A Girl Want" I talk about the desires of a woman, her heart, soul and her needs. Whether you are born with the silver spoon in your mouth, President, CEO, COO or the richest woman in the world - You want and desire to be loved just like the associate at your neighborhood WalMart because you are no different when it comes to love and companionship. Some not all have come across forbidden love. Forbidden love is the kind of love that you know you don't need. Forbidden love is the kind of love that goes with an unattainable man, but you want him and believe you need him like the air you breathe. Forbidden love is the kind of love that is good and bad at the same time. Its' so good that you have poured your heart and soul into it. It's so bad that you know it's wrong but you want it anyway. You fantasize about it and you have convince yourself that you are the better of the two. You have convince yourself to be the "other woman," something you said, you would never be.

"You wait for every text message, phone call or tweet. You are so wrapped up into your time with him that everything at that moment and that encounter is PERFECT for him. He says everything that you want to hear - Girlfriend, he's got it all because you have convinced yourself that he is everything you want in a man and I mean EVERYTHING! You are hooked on his every word. When he comes and spends his time with you...You don't want him to go...You give him everything - The desires of his heart.

Reason - He can't stay...Because the lies he tell you are just that - Lies! These are merely fantasy lies so that he can come and do it all over again. He's not going to leave his wife. She doesn't know anything about you and he would like to keep that way. The same clean sheets that you prepare for him..He also have very clean sheets prepared for him at home.  The same love and affection that you are giving him don't think for a minute that he's not getting it at home too.

This isn't a new song but it hits home for a lot of women that has gone through this and that is going through the kind of love that this "Sugarland" song is about. But this is what I know for sure....If you wait on God to bring him to you - You will receive the desires of your heart. Don't rush it..When he comes he will be yours ad yours only.........All Girlz Dream..

I Want Them To Know My Name

 Today has been a slow, quiet and mellow day. I felt so good when I woke up this morning and I thank God for another day. I've been listening to this Tracy Chapman song title "The Promise" and it has a very warm place in my heart. I feel especially blessed to see and touch my husband, son, daughter and especially look upon my dad and my frail mothers face. I am extremely blessed to have both my parents; even though, things aren't the same as they use to be. My Mom has chronic emphysema which has taken her beautiful energetic life from her (Read Blog: Comfy Couch). On many occasions as I sit and talk with my mother, she talks about her childhood. You see my Mom grew up in rural segregated Georgia at a time when blacks and whites were divided and could not attend the same schools. Her parents were poor farmers who picked cotton and worked another mans' farm in order to feed their children. She talks about how not only did she pick cotton in the hot blazing sun but at the age of seven had to prepare breakfast and dinner on a wood burning stove  for her parents and siblings.My Mom talks about growing up before her time and that her childhood was not especially a happy one.

Some of the things we talk about are good especially when she reflects on the good times with her siblings.Our talks are especially important to me because I get to know her past and what impacted her life and what made her the person she became. Talking with my Mom and how she was a little girl with hand me downs and torn shoes made her become a Mom and that her children would never wear hand me downs and torn shoes because this was her promise as a mother.

I've never worn torn hand me downs or ragged shoes and I am especially grateful to my Mom for loving me and spending her last dime so that me and my siblings would ever experience some of her unhappy childhood. The many conversations that my mom and I have I carry on this tradition with my own children because "I want my children to know my name." I want them to know where I come from and who brought me into this world. I want my children to know my parents full name and much about them because they are the reason I am here and so are they.  I'm not afraid to tell them why I think the way I do. I want them to know my life lessons so that they can learn from them and someday teach their children. I want them to know the good, bad and the sometimes ugly....I don't want them to guess who I am..."I want them to know my name." I tell my children everyday how much I love them. I want them to know without a shadow of doubt that they can count of me and that my word is written in stone. I want them to know and feel what a mother's love is..."I want them to know my name" because this is my promise. I want them to know that if the heavens call my name -  I want to have left no stone un-turn..."My children will know my name."

In the years to come and beyond I want to leave a legacy to my children of LOVE.

I want them to know my name.

GOING THROUGH CHANGES

The other day I heard a song that I haven't heard in a long time (Landslide) by Stevie Nicks. The song lyrics really resignates because its about going through changes. Its about getting older. Its about challenges of life and children getting older and leaving the nest. This song just hits home for me. You know when you are in your twenties, you don't seem to think about getting older. It seems that retirement age is so far away and it doesn't have a place in your life at the moment. At least this is the way I felt back then because I didn't think about getting older. The main thing I thought about was getting paid and buying the linen jump suit for $150.00 and of course, getting my hair done and finding the next fashion must have.

Life is full of changes and going through those changes is a big part of living. Some people are going through changes of marriage. Some people are getting married for the very first time and quickly finding out that living with another person is a big change. Some people are going through changes and challenges of a divorce. Some people are going through the empty nest syndrome and just don't know what to do with themselves because children are grown and gone. Some people are changing jobs and moving to a different location. Some people are going through changes because of illness. Some are going through life changes because of age. No matter how many plastic surgeries you've had on the outer self...The inner body will follow the path of its time clock and their is simply nothing that can stop that progression. Some are going through changes with a sick parent and they have become the parent of the parent.

Life is full of changes and the only way to meet the changes is to go through it. This is the only way to teach others because you have gone through it. We all learn from life changes and challenges because after all laws are changed because of it.

As you read this blog, please click on the first Stevie Nicks song "Landslide" and just listen to the lyrics. Its funny that when I was in my twenties, I didn't really listen to the words of a song because I only cared about the beat...Now, I really listen to the lyrics.
