Michael Jackson - Rock With You

My all time favorite MJ song. May God bless his family, friends, and fans as we mourn the loss of an incredible singer, dancer, and entertainer.

To everything there is a season.

Congrats!!!!!!!

Yesterday my mother received her Associates Degree in Medical Coding. I am so proud of her and her fellow classmates. I want to share three things the keynote speaker said last night.

Life begins outside of our comfort zone.
Fear is the acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real
Normal is a setting on the washing machine.

Today

Today I decide to take authority over my life. The month of June has been amazing and awakening. I am glad that I have decided to go after the things of God and not what I want for me. I was on the phone kidding around with a friend earlier today. The more we talked, the sillier we became. All of a sudden a quiet spirit came over me. My friend asked me what was wrong. My response was that at the rate the conversation was going it would turn into something that was not pleasing to God.

Because God has blessed me, delivered me, and restored me I know that I have to honor and respect God, His Word and His Promises. At the end of this year I will turn 40. Everything before now is already done. I made some impulsive and bad choices. As a result of some of those choices I have paid a very high price of heartache and disappointment.

Now is the time of realization. From here on out I thirst and hunger for what God has for me. To everything there is a season. Can You Feel A Brand New Day?

CDF Cradle to Prison Pipeline® Initiative Slideshow

When I first heard the story yesterday of Noelle Washington being killed along with her nine month old son and her best friend's three year old daughter, it stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't believe it. I could not leave the house until I saw a picture of Noelle, her son, and the little girl. I cried over this story of tragedy, I cried for her family, the litte girl's family and for our city. My immediate thought was "Who does this?" Who honestly kills a teenager, an infant, and a toddler with no thought of human life in a single moment? It has to be someone who is heartless and who is cold to any emotions or feelings.

My heart goes out to all the families involved in tragic act. I pray that someone is arrested for this crime. The families and the community will need that closure but it will be a long time to heal from the hurt, the pain, the anger, and the thought of what might have been had Noelle moved on to Nashville, moved on with her life.

There is a song, sung by gospel artist Yolanda Adams, "What About the Children?" How fitting for Noelle, for Anthony, for Sharailyn.

All of that work to say nothing

I thank you for all of your calls and all of your texts.
Hopefully all of your questions were answered.
Sweetie, there really was a simpler way of going about this.
I prefer to get to the bottom line.
Say what you need to say. Ask what you need to ask.
Time is of the essence.
We don't have to have small talk for twenty minutes for you to get to your one question.
You do a whole lot work to say nothing.

Dip My Spoon and Leave

It was like the best date that was never planned.
You kicked it with me like you was my man.
In the beginning it felt a little awkward,
You know, you kept brushing up on my shoulder.
As the night progressed I got used to the touches
the soft conversations.
Now, don't forget you do live with her.
So we shared our meal like an event that was unreal.


In the midst of that hour you even fed me a flower,
Asked if my meal was okay.
Damn it, how many years have I known you anyway?
But it was cool how you spoke in my ear, gently held my hand.
Acted like a complete gentleman, in your gray and black
With me in my black and white. We kinda matched.
That was kinda tight!

As the evening moved on we settled into this moment.
We even had the waiter fooled until he asked us about our check.
Fortunately I got my own stacks on deck.
What we both like carrot cake? And the menu said it was served for two.
Go ahead and order, I'll just dip my spoon and leave.
Cause I don't know what is going on with you.

If I Am Cool With Your Car

Look, don’t be upset. Don’t get depressed.
I ain’t trippin’, I don’t think of you any less.
I don’t want you for what you have or will have.
I just want to be your wife, your beautiful other half.
Let’s spend this time building our lives.
From here on out we’ll expect nothing but the best.
What pleases my heart is that you came at me
True and Correct.
So, let’s go out and have fun.
Let the world know you are my only one.
You are the best man that has stepped to me so far.
Who cares what other people think.
If I’m cool with your car.
