What Is Your Worth?

            "Are You What You Are Believing For?" This question came to me as a I was listening to a sermon by T.D. Jakes. He said, "Are you what you are believing for?" I must admit that is a question that made me come to a halt. It makes me question myself even more. My hopes, my dreams, my desires......am I currently living the life that I am believing for? My answer to that question is "No". So you know that the next question is "Why?" I honestly believe that many times in life we face situations that causes us to put our dreams on hold. As a child you have a mindset of being unconquerable and  that you can be anything that you want to be.  So, what happens to that mindset as you grow older? The reality of life hits you dead in the face. You may have come across some stumbling blocks in the road that made you take a detour. Once you take that detour you keep on going and going until the dream that you o...

Let Go And Move On Ecclesiastes 3 tells us their is time for everything. Such as a time to be born and a time to die; a time to cry and a time to laugh; a time to start looking and a time to stop looking; and a time to love and a time to hate. These are just a few. However these seem to be irrelevant to some. Especially when it comes to relationships. I myself have been in a few relationships. These relationships started off as being good to great to sad to what was I thinking. When it came time to move on the other party did not want to let go. I have been there and it was not an exciting situation. I have also seen relationships go horrifically bad when the other person is obsessed and they refuse to let you go regardless. Needless to say this ended up in a traumatic way. Why do people try to hold on to something that is no longer there? Are they so fearful that they would not be good enough for another relationship? Could it be that they don't want to see you with anot...

Hello, It has been more than a while since I have submitted a blog. A lot has happened since my last post. My last post was entitled "The Dash (-) In Between". So what have I been doing with my dash in between (-)? I must say that I have definitely had a growing experience. One in which I brought upon myself due to a huge lapse in judgement. To blatantly put it, I put myself in a situation that I was definitely not proud to admit.  I know eventually that I will share some of these series of events that happened to me in future blogs.  But for now I have been led to share what we will discuss now. Have you ever re-visited something from your past and you thought  things would be better and they ended up being the same or even worse. Well let me be the first to wave my hand.  Instead of me working on my dash in between I was busy entertaining the past.  Trust me when I say this, the past is the past for a reason. I am living proof of this. The result o...

Here we are again doing this thing we called Life.  The life that God has given us is a privilege and should not be taken lightly.  What we do with it is based on the choices that we make.  I was at the funeral of a dear loved one and the eulogist said that the person had completed her life's course and what counted was "the dash in between".  Every since I heard that it has been coming back to me. I had to ask myself what am I doing with my dash in between. My beginning was 1979. I am currently living in the dash and I find  myself asking these questions. Have I accomplished the goals that I want in my life? Am I using my time wisely? Are the things that I am doing in my life beneficial to others as well as myself?  I have to ask these questions because I often say that I don't want to die full.  I want to die empty having accomplished all the things that God intended for me to accomplish.  Am I just existing? or Am I living. The...

Just a few weeks ago the world was on their toes every Wednesday night waiting for what was going to happen on the season finale of Empire. I must admit I was right along with them.  This show has captured  the attention of everyone. Including my husband! Now men, you say you don't watch soap operas but did you know that shows like Empire and Scandal are weekly soaps that just happen to air once a week and at night when most of you are at home anyway watching T.V. with your ladies. So, like it or not, you are watching a soap opera! ( Just had to throw that in there, lol)  People were on edge with Oohs, Ahhs and no she didn'ts!( I know that is improper English.) Cookie remained loyal to Lucius even though at the end it didn't seem that way and the whole empire is in the hands of the forgiving son who does not know he is being set up by his own family.  With all this drama going on I came to the conclusion......we all have empires....yes w...

 Hello Ladies and Gents, I know that it has been a hot minute since I last posted a blog. I am going  try to make sure that a long lapse like this never happens again. I know you are wondering, "Why am I writing on this topic?' Well my topic stems from a video that was posted on Facebook from YouTube.  A lady by the name of Alexyss K.Tylor  who happens to have authored a book entitled Vagina Power. In the video clip she discusses how a man's penis controlled a lady so much to the point that she slapped him. Her reason for slapping him was due the thought of him sharing himself with someone else led her to slap him. In listening to her remarks about this she goes on to discuss that we as women can get so caught up into a guys sexual organ that we allow him to control us. As I listened to this I realized that she did have some valid points that made a lot of sense. I know that this is a topic that is shunned by most but it is a topic tha...
