The Music Industry... Beautiful Black Sisters.....Open your eyes and see......

You attempt to emasculate our people from the depths of hell.
The pain of my ancestors...... they have suffered on this soil with silent yells.
Yet you find yourself caught up in an industry for money and fame.
Inevitably willing to sacrifice a generation but it will bring you to shame.
I'd rather walk away penniless than to be what hatred or what Satan wants me to be.
But it's all about making "that money" for an industry that would just as soon kill you and me. (Beautiful Tina then beautiful Whitney)
Momma warned you to stay away from thugs, murderers and drugs.
But apparently she forgot to warn you what ailed Tina and Ike "a dl in house Thug".
It was....no she was .....a meal ticket for Ike.... a mere man and the industry.....don't you see?
Thank God Tina was smart enough to walk away and be who God created her to be.

Get past the flesh.....

Caught up in this flesh.
Some never get past the mess.

They never realize who they were meant to be.
Never experiencing and never truly able to see.

Living a life of fantasy.
Not able to foresee.

I was once called an ethereal beauty.
It made me realize I was more special than the eye could see.

There was definitely something heavenly about me.
Or so my suitors would have me to believe.

No matter what their words would have an impact.
Fact or fiction I knew my life was stacked.

Not just stacked, not just physically.
Qualified even more mentally.

Therefore, I knew my fate was greater than what would meet the eye.
I knew that one day I would have it all and it would be no surprise.

Take a pause and show him some respect.....

Respect his love for your child enough to show him some respect.
Your son or daughter will interpret your love for him as his or her own that's a fact.
If he takes what he has and attempts to provide for your family..... show him love.
His heart is open and receptive just because.
He loves your child with all of his heart.
You should have known that from the start.
Put away your differences and live for a greater cause.
Remember each time you attempt to tear him down take a pause.

Beautiful....Authentic..... you!

If he does not appreciate your authentic design.
Baby, he is definitely not worth your time.
Beauty comes from the perfect designer, the creator of this entire universe.
Man has tried to become God and has created an absolute curse.
Women dying, liquids leaking, laying on a table.....bleeding to death.
While your children and family look on, wondering why..... as you take your last breath.....

Love becomes perfect with wisdom,,,,, My Dear!

Love is an amazing journey. People think everything is going to be perfect from the start. However, just like everything else it gets perfect with time. You start off coming from 2 totally different mindsets. You have to put up with him as much as he has to put up with you. You learn each other and you find a way to make each other happy once you decide that this is the one for me.

I really had to learn that as a youth because I always seemed to get everything that I wanted and so I lacked discipline and an open mind but Thank God for my Mother's loving heart. She saw the greatness in my husband's love for me and continued to support our love.

Your spouse teaches you in so many ways if you are willing to learn. It was in evaluating the love of ministers that I learned that no one is perfect. Every time I got angry at him for a lost job or whatever we were going through, you know when you get to "I don't need this" and I would pray for my Boaz. It was then that God showed me the Boaz in my mate. He began to realize how important it was for him to become consistent in my life and I realized how important it was for me to be more supportive in his life.

I write this note to help you realize the greatness that you have in the one you love. If you will open up your heart and let him grow and love you like Christ loved the church, your love will pass the test of time. It is when wisdom sets in that you see that the things of this world are fleeting and don't really matter as much as your love for one another. It's the one who not only promises to grow old with you but the one who actually does that loves you unconditionally.

I Miss You, My First Best Friend..... R.I.P. Mommy

You were my 1st best friend.
You taught me so many things, especially to lend.

To lend my heart, and to give each person my all.
You taught me how to always stand tall.

Despite the hardships that you endured.
It was you that always made me feel assured.

Assured that this world we live in could change.
To never believe we'd remain the same.

You taught me how to forgive, even when I didn't want to which became a plus.
Because I was the one ready and willing to fight and cuss.

You taught me kindness, because I began to develop a thick skin.
You taught me the fear of God, so I never wanted to sin.

On that fateful day when God called you home.
I finally realized what it meant to feel so alone.

God Blessed me with a new best friend long before you parted this earth.
And for that I am grateful because he Blessed me with a mate that produced tremendous seed on this earth.
He further reminds me, when I am down and out what I am truly worth.

But I realize that there is still so much work to do.
Know that I won't stop missing you.
