He reminds me

The world is never real until a new life enters it. Somehow as we grow older we loose our sense of innocence. Our sense of respecting ourselves and others. Not all of us but many people do. When a new life enters the world it is a reminder, a trip down memories lane. It is an opportunity to witness innocence all over again.

There is a little fellow who is just six and a half hours old as I write this.
I saw his picture in the raw and so, many things went through my mind. How pure he is, how beautiful he is, how UN-influenced he is. The thoughts went on, "he is so dependent and vulnerable." He is so innocent-

I thought about all the children. All the children of today. The thoughts ran in reverse through my mind. The children are all clothed inappropriately; sagging pants that reveal their underwear to the entire public. They are impure because many of them speak foul English and slang as a regular language. Therefore, their looks lose points no matter how cute their faces are.

The children are influenced by poor role models, some which are their own parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, preachers. "I call out what I see!"
Our kids are NO LONGER innocent because many of them are guilty of horrible things.
I looked at Baby J and I thought to myself... Who will you become?

I believe that if you offer a child to God and; you raise him in the way he ought to go all will be well. Grandparent is an amazing role. More importantly it is a responsibility. I was taught by the best.



There is an old saying;It takes a village to raise one child. Twenty years ago we upheld this philosophy. We put the power in that saying. We raised our children.
We did not just have them and let other people raise them. What is worse now is, they are raising themselves. I see many parents give their children to much "load" too early.

I accept with gratitude the responsibility of being a grandparent. It is a gift that I am grateful for. Offerings to thee oh Mighty Lord my grandson as was my gran daughter as was my daughter upon their entrance into the world. Bless them with all that you have intended for them and nothing less.

Thank you father for you sacrifice that showed us all what true love for ones children should be. Thank you... Thank you... Now and forever more thank you...

When people ask...

Barbara, a forty-five year old professional has everything going well for her. She is a chemist at a prestigious perfume marketing & distribution company. Her ideas sent the company soaring when she developed a signature scent that was very distinctive, to say the least.

The company sold the unique scent to a well known celebrity for his already successful line of women's cologne for two hundred and fifty-million dollars.
Barbara's commission for her development was twenty percent which solidified her position as a top developer in the market.

Barbara has never been married but she does enjoy her life. She travels lots and is sure to make time for her long term friendships.
One morning while at home preparing a presentation the phone rings...
It is Margaret, Barb's younger sister.

She tells Barb that there has been an emergency in the family and that Barbara should come right away. Margaret says that both their parents and brother had been involved in a vehicular accident, and that all three were in critical condition.

When Barbara received the news she broke down in tears and assured her sister that she'd be on the earliest flight.

Barbara called the airline to schedule her flight and got the earliest one possible for 3p.m. this afternoon.
After securing the flight, she began multi-tasking; making a series of calls while packing for the trip.

The first person she called was her boss to inform him of the news that she would need to be off for a few days or more. Her boss, Henry, asked if there were anything that he could do. Barb thought for a minute, then said yes, there is. Would you just say a prayer for my parents and brother to get better? I am not ready for them to leave me as she broke down crying again.

Her boss said yes, Barbara, I think I can handle that request. She thanked him and ended their call.

As soon as Barbara put the phone on the receiver, it immediately rang back. When she answered it was her best friend Shannon. "Hey girl" "just thought I'd call you this morning" said Shannon to see if you needed help with that project we talked about last week. Barbara responded that yes I do, but today is not good for that. Barb went on to share her painful news with her friend.

When Shannon heard she asked; "is there anything that I can do?" Yes, said Barbara would you pick me up at 1pm and take me to the airport? Shannon said of course honey, whatever you need. Thanks Barbara said and ended the call.

Still packing her things and trying to cancel the days events there was a knock at the door.
When Barbara answered it was her neighbor David who is sixteen. David always did small chores for Barb like mowing her front lawn and taking her disposable goods to the curbside. I saw that your car was in the driveway this morning said David so, I thought I would just come by to see if you needed anything today?

Barbara said yes, as a matter of fact I do. A family emergency calls for my sudden need to go away.
I think I will be gone a few days to a week but, am really not sure. David, would you come by and water my plants every two days until I return? David said sure, no problem. She handed him the spare keys and sent him off as there was still so, much to accomplish before leaving.

Barbara managed to get everything done and was ready at 1pm. Shannon was prompt and the two headed to the airport. When Barbara arrived at the airport she checked her bags then took a seat in the port lobby. There was a very attractive male that seemed to be staring from a distance. Each time Barbara would lift her head from the magazine she was reading the man would be looking right at her. He would very quickly look away in shyness however. Finally it's time to board the plane.

Barbara headed down the aisle. As she is reading the seating numbers she notices that the man that was staring at her is seemingly seated next to her. She approaches her window seat and sure enough the two were paired for the 6 hour non-stop flight.

After about an hour the man introduced himself as Kevin Samuels. Coincidentally his name was very familiar. Kevin was the top marketing director at the same prestigious
marketing corporation. The two laughed at the strange meeting place as they had never seen one another at work but, knew of the other's names.

Kevin attributed his staring back at the airport to Barbara's striking beauty and then quickly changed the subject. "What is taking you to New York" he asked, assuming that it were business. When Barbara explained her need to travel Kevin apologized at her tragic news.

During the long flight the two became very acquainted and planned to have lunch when things were better for Barb.

Six hours now passed Barbara arrives at the airport. She is greeted by her sister. They head straight to the hospital to begin dealing with the sad situation the two face.

Barbara is there in the waiting area and receives a call after a few hours. It is Henry her boss. I thought that this would cheer you up and tells her to listen. He plays a recording of an announcement that went over every speaker at the ten story marketing firm earlier this afternoon.

This is what it said:

Today I received news that one of our most valued employees had to go away for a family emergency. I asked if there were anything that I could do knowing for sure inside that I was powerless to do anything that would have a real impact.

The employee we all know and love as top chemist for this firm; Barbara said just pray for my parents and brother. I am asking everyone to stop what your doing for 10 minutes as we pray together for Barbara and her family. (the prayer) Played on.

Barbara was speechless. She stood in the ER with tears streaming from her face. When the recording was over she thanked Henry from the bottom of her heart. Please thank everyone and tell them that they will never know what they have done.

Barbara went back to the waiting area and sat pondering the call. She thought to herself that "everyone that I needed was there for me today." No one said no!

At that moment she realized that When people ask if there is anything that they can do. They really do mean well.

Ask yourself: Is there someone that needed my help recently? Did I ask but, yet did not follow through?

I believe that when most of us ask someone is there anything that I can do. We do not see this question with responsibility. We see it as courtesy. When people are going through they don't need you to offer help for the sake of offering. They need you to really help them.

If it were you wouldn't you want someone to really be there? Sometimes one may feel like they really do not know how to help. Remember that you always can exercise the POWER OF PRAYER! That is the BEST help that you can give someone.

Relying on God's ability not our lack of. We are limited in what we can do. God is limitless in his ability. He hears us when we pray and takes seriously what we request-

Mindful


It is morning...
Orange tinted sky
soft grey clouds
hang not far above

It is raining
I am driving
sipping coffee
While thinking
about my love...

Cris crossing
time tossing
days passing
at the speed of
of life

Summer soon over
air feels colder
yet gets warmer
with you by my side

a hint of fall
hides in the trees
as the bark turns
a rusty white
crispy sound of
scraping leaves
introduce the calm
of night

cooling howl
of a soothing wind
brushing against
all that it can find
realizing the season
is changing
it is almost time

for holiday cheer
family and friends
good food to satisfy
the soul

It is almost time
once again
for frosty, fluffy
snow...

approaching
yet another
brand new year...
How fortunate
we all have been
09 kept us here

We have gained
quite a bit
as a human race
finally a president
concerned not
about saving face
Instead he's
begun the work
to change this
unfair place

How fortunate
are we to
still exist
as many did go on.

Unanswered question
as to why
we just know
there gone

As we move
rapidly toward 2010
let us take a moment
to reflect
to simply
remember when
and If you think
there is No God?
You had better
think again

Blue

There is in the air a certain scent
of winter. Crisp and fresh
cool yet warm and rich.

Colorful and radiant
red,brown and gold
camouflage themselves in orange

How then did I become blue?

spirit dirges chilled sea
currents heading south
waters rest in the east
wind controlling it's route

your reflection is me
and mine is you
We can expect that the forecast
shall forever change
as we determine what to do

We can depend upon a transformation
to guide us into our next season
We can find reasons to stand still
and never move
Winter has come again however
no matter what we choose

colors of this radiant season
red, brown gold
camouflage themselves in orange
and I still wonder..

How then did I become blue?

Untiltled...

I know what it is like to put my hopes and dreams into love and to have them not evolve but instead, dissolve before my very eyes, the tears streaming down like rain my heart exploding with pain.
Disappointed not once but, again. The sadness at this stage of life is not for me though. It is for all GODS children. Love was created by HIM. It is intended to bring happiness to a heart a soul.

Love is to be utilized as strength in bonding two people together as one. So many of us we just don't get it. I have been fortunate to drink from the fountain of youth. I am truly blessed. I look great for my age many say almost every day. What is the secret to your beautiful skin and smile and glow. "Womyn you glow!"

I must share that the secret is that I love without limitation, without expectation of anything other than what any person simply deserves- RESPECT... I walk in silence and it in me. Occasionally I've been tested and have to define and defend myself all at once.

I have found myself stepping outside of my souls quiet place. Some people push and push because they cannot stand that you are at peace. They want it so badly but fear it so sadly...

Love is meant to be blissful yet intense. Spiritual and immense. The depth will never be felt by so many because when it first intoduces itself to the average soul it scares the " HELL" out of people!

"How do I keep it moving?" I just recognize the sadness in a soul and pray that someday they become willing to stop disappointing God others and most of all themselves.
The truth is the reason that some can't accept love is because if they have not experienced self love then how can they give it to you? If you have the courage to love sincerely and love yourself; when the dsappointment comes you would simply
re-align your spirit and pray for that lost soul.

Don't be abused by remaining in the muck. We get older to gain experience to produce wisdom to excersise KNOWLEDGE!

Namaste'
I honor the place in you that resides in me, the place of peace the place of love (pass it on)

Light Love Life

Expose yourself
I have seen you
yet do not know who you are

as I am telling you
many things about my inner being
my interior decor
uninformed of what you'll use it for

live in the trust of anothers being
fear blocks the blessings
It is dark and scary in that place of fear
so I am unafraid to expose my light.

Unafraid to let light expose my depth
for when they walked in fear
JESUS wept

I will not force tears from HIS eyes
cry instead will I...
suffered for me-
at HIS own expense

is payment a thorn made
crown upon his head
every inch of flesh
upon HIS body bled

No more suffering for my sake
no more being afraid
walk in faith
my way has been paid

Life's not always right
on it's best days
or it's worse nights

GOD says trust in HIM
crawl out of darkness
into sunlight

You're not loving
if you are protecting
you're not exposing
If you're hiding

You are an unknown soul
not really living
if you are afraid
of just LOVING

You are defeating
Gods intention
for you being
Not even seeing
that which HE has given

Your light your love
your life is moving
fast yet
no where going

unaware you're
defacing GLORY
shhhh, just hush...
end of story-

The Yes or No experience

Decision... Is it a feeling? Is it a thing? One thing that is clear; making a decision is profoundly emotional. The need to decide something derives from a place of "enough." When one has had enough then the heat is on. Decision making also lends itself to adding something to ones life "more".To make a decision takes such forums as faith, courage, thirst, and willingness.

What is often unmentioned yet most important is, that when all is said and done. No matter what the decision; -

Decision positions us to takes charge! How great is that?

Trust your inner being. Listen for what it is saying to you through how you feel Just like an instrument the body speaks via tones. If we are in tune we can determine the sound and rhythm and be guided it.

When the decision is No the belly feels very nervous, the throat gets a big ball in it, if you swallow you'll feel a lump in your thorax. Overall it just feels uneasy.

When the answer is yes. There is a spiritual and visual picture of peace... you can clearly see a picture of your subject. When you visualize it; you feel connected to it, you feel excited, elated, elevated and trusting.The feeling is just (exhales)refreshing-

Both yes and no experiences vary depending on the individual yet these basic physical responses are pretty consistent among human beings.

The key is to align your hearing with your body. Remembering that one must
use their mind, not their ears to hear. If one can master this? The decision making is canceled provided the master is also obedient to their bodies language. we simply know what to do and we do it!

Try it. It may take practice before you learn to listen well. However, don't get discouraged. The art of success lies in your ability to be disciplined and patient.

The reward is worth it and just like the yes and no experience; it is tailor made to the individual. Yet the gain in the same among human beings.
For all of us. once we loosen our decision... Comes freedom-

Necessary Address

Who's heard the rustle and bustle of the social anatomy?
What stirs the drama among individuals when they are in the same space for any considerable length of time? Peace is just lost and seemingly no where to be found.
Listen... "She is talking about him doing her and her shoes are tore up!"
"Why would he be Cheating on her with her?" (Gossip)
Then there is the today someone speaks to you when yesterday;
they did not? (Ignorance)

What about when you speak a happy "Hey every one!" As you enter the space and
somehow,it seems that every one ate peanut butter for breakfast?
The emotion attached to this, for the speaker is so awkward. (Impolite)

To a certain degree this is also mean. So in thinking about all of this,
I cannot help but ask the intelligent question. Why do we treat each other this way?
It is an outright down look on your brother or sister beings.

I have learned in my life that people have been through many things.
We never know what things or to what degree the severity of their experience. What a bout the sensitivity that may exist or the trauma even?

Most of the participants of such infliction never stop to think about this. To think about the tremendous job they are doing at hurting an already hurt person.

The day that one looks down; some time later they will look up and possibly,
up to who they looked down on.

An option to talking about someone is to pray for them and pray about you.

None of us are without flaw. How hurt would one be to pass a crowd and overhear them taunting you?
Sure some of you may have just thought "I don't really care.." That is much easier said than survived.

Another key point is that talking about someone in the form of negativity does not speak well to ones own feelings about themselves.
If one is secure and confident they find neither worth, nor glory, nor time to deflate another.

The energy that is used to gnaw at someones character can be used better building ones own.
Life is about Karma and life is a long process of events. Events that should be for the most part felt in the spirit realm. In fact it should be Zesty!
Whatever you get out of life however is really up to you.

The law is that you receive from the universe that in which you give to it.In order to reap we MUST sow.

The Bible for those that believe speaks of sowing and reaping a harvest.
Know that if you sow a seed of hatred you shall be swallowed up by the same in acres of a harvest.

Loving as God loves us is not as easy as it should be as we are "products of our environment." We are disqualified from using this as an excuse as; we may be product but we are not prisoners of our environment.

We are free too choose how to behave,how to treat one another, how to speak to each other and how to be consistent.

The choice to bring gifts to others or to receive fields of dead grass as our harvest- Is Yours...

May you be lead Through my honesty and courage to undress the mess and may it be catalyst to a better you

God Bless
