Farewell and Hello..........

                                     


I just looked at the date and realized I should have launched this blog yesterday. November 19 has held some memorable events for me. At age 9 I was baptized, age 13 I got saved, age 19 I tried again. Although those are all very memorable moments, the biggest was at 12 when I "official" became a woman. Who knew that "special" friend would change the way you looked and felt at least 5 days out of the month!

Today as I type my first page I am adding two new memories to my life. The first is being able to break the chains that have consumed me over the years. I have sat back in silence struggling with pain,disappointment and agony. I've been asked over and over again, when are you going to write that book. Well here is the prequel to what's to come. I hope that my pain can heal and strengthen someone who needs it. This is my truth,my journey,my struggle. I just want a release......

I found strength and courage to share my lyfe and have a peace about it reflecting the lyfe of my brother who is about to be laid to rest. I was unable to attend his home-going service due to a change in the date. I was asked to speak,but since I can't be there physically, I will post it here.

Today is a day no parent should have to prepare for. Our children are supposed to bury us. But often time God calls home his soldiers early because their work here is done. there is never "the right" thing to say in a time of loss. I can however say that when a person who lived life in spite of answer's the call, We have to find comfort and rejoice! God makes no mistake, we are uniquely made to live for him. I can move forward in lyfe knowing I have another angel who will guide me through the rest of my life. Poohpie never met a stranger, and he always had a smile. While everyone around him stressed, he would always tell us to take it easy,don't worry about it. I learned a valuable lesson, never think you can put someone on hold and come back to them, we don't know when our time is up. I have to do better and lead better. Brother I finish the race with stronger than ever. To my nephew Jaris,I got your back cause my brother had mine. I love you brother, Sleep in Heavenly Peace!

Pieces of Me

Once of my favorite songs is Ledisi's "Pieces of Me". That song describes me to the T! It says so much about how I feel on a daily basis. I have learned how to cover my true feelings for the sake of others, and  I am a master at laughing to keep from crying.  I have a bad habit of compromising my own happiness for the sake of others. It's funny how I can be strong for everyone else but me. I'm too busy worried about hurting someone's feelings. I realize now I can't really help that because these things were instilled in me at a very young age. When someone said "aww she's so pretty", my aunt would say "no she aint"! Although I love her to the depths of my soul, she was mean as hell to me growing up. I will share that another day. Today I'm just preparing you for what's to come. My life was like the Color Purple, "You bet not tell nobody but God". To endure all the things that were inflicted upon me was like...

Ms. Men O. Pause, have several seats please!

I want a refund on all the free classes that gave out sub par information! If I tell you something, I am going to give you all the facts, good and bad!Remember in elementary school, 5th grade, they separated the girls and boys and had, "the talk". I was told that I would bleed once a month for a few days. That was lie number one! I bled for seven days!!! I was told that once I received this "gift", I should expect it every month until I'm in my fifties!!! WAIT WHAT?!?!?!?! Well first of all, Aunt Flo showed up one month before my thirteenth birthday. I was the last one in my group,lol. I got it and then I didn't get it.I had what was called a irregular period until I had my first child. The nicest thing I can say about my Auntie Flo is she was not painful. I couldn't wear white or go horseback riding like the commercial state, but I never had cramps. Well after years of rebellion  I finally Auntie Flo under control. Well she decided to buck the system...

Happy New Year!!

I am truly amazed at how fast 2015 eased on out of here! It seems like six months ago we were saying, New Year, New Me. I'm just amazed at how I survived 2015! With the normal aches and pains I was doing pretty good, Then in April I had a "Man down " situation! I remember Staying up on a Wednesday night til 4a.m. I was cleaning, going through sweats and chills. Something kept saying don't stop moving. Later that day I went to a funeral with a friend and I kept it moving. By Saturday I was hurting like a son of a gun! Went to hospital got a test done and went home. The next day went back to the doctor and had emergency surgery that night! Doctor came in to tell me I was lucky to be alive. My appendix had exploded. He told me it had to be at least a week because of how they had to fish it out. Im amazed at how all my doctors tell me they have never seen a case like mine. Two days later I was undergoing another surgery. This one was to remove my spinal shunt. Seems l...
