Listen

My mother text me one night; listen to what your children have to say. Even listen to the little things. So one day when they have bigger things to share; the trust is there.

I text back to my mother; thank you mom, but our children must never forget there was an age they never knew text existed. And some mothers were always around to listen to their children even when their words were not clear beyond just making sounds.

What is a possibility is this; our children will always be our babies at any age. And when life forces them to make real time choices hopefully our children will turn to us in those moments.

One thing about life is this; on any day, at any moment life it will happen. The question is how prepared are we to face it?  

Hate Crimes

How do we measure the value of another person's life? Is also the same measure we should use to place value on ourselves. And just incase we are not aware of what that measure is; then what is the real issue within one's self to describe the hate in which is inflicted on someone else?

Life is precious. And the next time you consider taking someone else's life think twice about how someone who made a choice; so that you with without hate may have a chance to live a life.

Tomorrow is not promised, but today allows us all the time; to plan for tomorrow filled with precious lives.

Cycles of Life

Seeking a savior. Or is it that we often run from our own truth of a past if not our present lives that we allegedly assume; not every human behavior act is out of context. But yet we are quick to judge one another, without judging ourselves first. And being humored if not affected by the behavior that causes real stress.

If a male or female randomly sends you a sexual pic. Then later text "did you like that? Simply respond back "I would like to see  if you can use your brains" a small price to pay at the end of the day.

If sex is the new trend in making fast money, or expressing our inhibitions for attention, Then what is the inhuman act; that is allegedly being persecuted when reported as a violation to human beings from country to country. A reminder to all races the plantation continues in every generations.

This is not a gain, there are no winners  in a world filled with pain because of the greed that is invested in broken human beings.  

Do not boast about tomorrow, for we are not sure what this day may bring.

Motivation Tuesday

Whether or not we admit to it; everyone of us living requires support and motivation.

• Motivation: requires our commitment. 
• Motivation: moves in us a sense of strength. 
• Motivation: is how far do we envision ourselves to our next level.
• Motivation: is not limited to a list of requirements.
• Motivation however is what you and I invest in of our individual time; to the advancement of a new level of potential to perform. Which determines what we seek of the final outcome.
• Circumstances can only delay us; Self Motivation elevates US!

Fly in My Tea

There is no allotted time to fly around and plan for oneday to correct things in our life.

In today’s world of compromise we as peeople only allow ourselves time; to keep reviving our past before allowing ourselves to move forward. Depending on the seasons we believe of in ourselves, of whether are not time is allowing us to keep buzzing around.  

Living in a world of compromise, is challenging. Settling into compromise is not living. So today I addressed the past therefore in my life I can move forward and live in the future. If it’s in God’s not man’s will.  

I heard voices say I need to make that money. I said you keep on running behind this money that has no legs or hands. So what or who is keeping you running for what you have yet to catch up with?

I heard voices whisper conspiracies against one another, or someone else. I walked past these voices and said. Why are you so busy creating animosity for some else  with your time? Is life not busy enough to get your own life on track. In a world were perfection does not exist.

I use to struggle with balance and work life.  And the reason why is this; we were always told this is “better than that”, or taught to have something you have to take it, pay more for it, or be better than them. And if we had just taken more time to explore in ourselves, we probably could have sooner than later figured out; in the baggage we ourselves carry around. Of what we keep of picking up of more than laying down; just to not only hope to see a return. But actually land into a peaceful space & settle down.

Advice is good to process, listening is great for more understanding. Perspective can be seen in a broader vision of looking at things. And being a follower does not always mean you have lost your way; just make sure the lead you are following, leads you to a mature level of your own thinking space.

A friend told me you can compromise who you are for any person or thing; but do not ever forget you will only be the person you are; in the color of your own skin.

While drinking a cup of tea with LEMON, I notice how the lemon was breaking down in the black tea, I was drinking. And out of the blue a FLY came buzzing and landed into the TEA as I was drinking. And what I saw was this. It did not take long to see and figure out this flying buzzing sound. That landed inside my cup of tea. Was a fly  that followed a lemon scent. But this fly never flew out again. Maybe we could learn a valuable lesson from this fly. Who buzzed around out of nowhere. Unlike the CRABS in a barrel. We could  better find a safer place to spread our wings. Then fly away, again.

Daycare

Son’s It is easy to find a female; who will tell you yes; it is harder to find a woman who will tell you no.

Son’s the day you realize what the word “no means” will be the day you grow-up into a man.  

One day a female will birth a child or not. And she will eventually figure out herself. Why,

Daughters one day you will meet a boy and he will earn your trust, until you both figure out that time revolves around both of you to grow-up.

In today’s society we assume once a certain age is reached or we experience a life changing moment we are all grown-up. Until we prove to ourselves, or even one another; we need more time to grow-up in places we continue to act out and think as a small child.

No matter who says they respect the truth, each other or themselves. The truth is we are not mature enough; to handle of what the truth requires from us.

It’s time we all grow-up, no more excuses. Life is not a daycare.

ROSES

Valentine day has arrived. Let’s place the high expectations aside to be genuine. And it is fine if everyone is not with someone. Move on to who is available. In sharing a moment through these days and times of which no one has control of; Recovering on tomorrow, that is coming with or without us.

“KISSES & HUGS” in a Time we miss sharing them!

BITE

Through the ages mankind has suffered in his own struggles and agony; to find a Balance between inner Peace & individudal Insanity.

Therefore when loss is involved all men, women and child react by turning away from dealing directly with the loss of anything; that causes them  Pain.

Fast forward today, we "all" will suffer from disparate treatment from all over the world. Including the calculation of what we initiate of “all” against one another. Through words we "all" isolate in categories to validate “racism, hate, envy and jealously”.

Of What we speak out loud..

1. Let's make America “great again”.

2. Let's keep it 100 with one another.

3. I am your Leader. I am a Boss. 

4. We have an agreement of what we are, or not a shame of our choices & behaviors. In any of our own “relationships, marriages, and parenting”. Before we place judgement and blame on other people regarding our own struggles, agony and pain.

So let’s keep it real with ourselves by accepting our own truths; in what we hide behind of our own lies to find a Balance of Peace in the Insanity we "all" create in this uprising generation of searching after the BITE. 

Black History Month

History is not the completed version on pages taunted against the melanin of skin. The truth is in the History of progression above the historic struggles that were; created by man.    

1. Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American author to publish a book of poetry.

2. Shirley Chisholm made political history as the first black woman elected to the US Congress.

3. Mary McLeod Bethune was a trailblazer for African-American people in education by opening her own school.

4. Bessie Coleman was the first African-American woman to hold a pilot's license.

“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”

—Coretta Scott King

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

—Frederick Douglass

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
—Booker T. Washington

“Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.”
—Susan L. Taylor, journalist

Prejudice Race

A rallied demonstration around the world. We can even be prejudice in ourselves. Statistics base it on lack of education & poverty in economics, humanity say’s we believe in change. Then how can time show the lies we hide behind;  and truth in what we are not strong enough, to accept of prejudice in ourselves?

The struggle is what we create of jealousy, envy, arrogance and hate.

If there was one color in this whole wide world, what color would it be to satisfy you and me? Then once we’ve figured that out what would the racist argument now be about?

Our children need to not only hear it but clarity in understanding why “They can do anything, they put their minds too in this life”. Why, because no one can erase their purpose in this life. No amount money can buy a human peace of mind, and with all the access to people that will cross  their paths; advise them there will days your mind will seek a peaceful night of rest. Why, because of what they need time to figure out is; no one has your best interest in you, better than you have in yourself.  

I remember attending a training class, and in this class the instructor made a sarcastic statement “you have a lot of questions, only because she knew all the answers before I ask WHY, so I did not stop asking. Hell, I was anxious about learning something new. And I knew the day I left that class one day a struggle would summon my attention.

On that day it happened I remembered what was done to make me “feel intimidated and hurt” I ask why me. It took a second to get pass what my mother said child remember this “it is hard for people to start a positive conversation, if they don’t have anything but the negative to talk about”. I thought about what my mother said, and how nasty words said from one person to another person of in arrogance, could draw a line because of the time taken to listen; but the truth is boldly ignored to remain ignorant. Because we are not better than one another. Until we learn how to respect communication with each other. Then I took a seat back to that training class. Why, because that instructor later showed up as a familiar face in my struggle I stand in today. Don’t misinterpret my class room chatter, it may be the class life has you sitting in; just be prepared for the lessons.
