Just got through watching postings of Michael Jackson’s Memorial service and I’m feeling very emotional. I really haven’t talked about Michael’s passing however I called my grandmother that day & cried my little heart out. My inner child that still loved & adored Michael beyond my own grown thoughts & attitude took over & has [...]

This was written in loving memory of Sakia Gunn. A 15 yr old girl that was murdered on this day 6 years ago. I will forever carry her memory in my soul.
Sakia’s Sister

I am Sakia’s Sister
Maybe not in similar reflections
Or bloodlines
I did not pass through her mama’s womb
No genetically connected DNA
But I am [...]
Over the next few weeks I will release a life of heart breaks and disappointments. I will share with you stories that most would be ashamed to admit but the truth knows no closets therefore I will wipe my slate clean. In my purging, I hope to inspire you. Maybe something in my life will heal something in yours. This is my trail to blaze and my machete has begun cutting.

I allowed the very first woman that told me she loved me to lower my goals and ambitions
Allowed her to define my worth
Even though her definition was below my very existence
I redefined myself on her conditions
Even when
I love you
Became I hate you ho*s and bit*hes
Battle scars began to take the place of loving kisses
But I [...]
If you’re struggling right now well that’s what you’re supposed to be doing. Don’t feel pretty right now? Well don’t worry about it. You’ll look back and shout about those moments. Feel burdened or depressed? Pray about it. Talk about it. Stop shutting yourself off. Open up your life and stop trying to be superheroes. I believe in you and the power of what you can become.

I am surrounded by men in my office. They do as they please and most days I just laugh at their corny jokes and do what I’m doing. But today was different. Today I broke free. Really.
I have been uncomfortable from the moment I came in this morning. Maybe I didn’t take as much time [...]

You and your new girlfriend are together now. Of course in the beginning of the relationship you talk about previous relationships and ex girlfriends. The good, the bad, the ugly, the great in bed, and the total losers. Now this is not for those of you that are still messing around with your ex girlfriends. [...]

I have officially decided that being the first girlfriend sucks. Actually, I knew this long ago. I even told my last girlfriend that I refused to date women that was just coming into the life. So do you know what she did? She lied and told me about all of these relationships she’d had with [...]
Hot:
I was lying in my room
Oblivious to the events going on around me
And when the phone rung I wondered who in the world was bothering me
Even if I would have ignored the call, the results would be the same
People were dying
Two planes had hit the World Trade
Right in the middle of New York City
Home Of [...]
With the way things are today, you HAVE to save for a rainy day. I’m not just talking about it; I’m almost begging you to realize the importance of this. I say this for all of those people who realized it too late and for those of you that still have a chance to start putting away a few dollars each pay check. Let it be the first thing you do with you money. And if saving means that you need to cut down on your cable TV channels or eat out a few less times a month then trust me when I say, it’s well worth it in the end.
