Laughter

The sound is so encouraging; although it is very early this morning. I can hear small children laugh. A sign they are loved and happy.

My grandmother always told me, to continue smiling. And the world will smile back at you. I said that its possible. How does this make since?

My grandmother said happiness and peace comes from within. And try to not allow situations and people rob you of your joy. Because God can change anything or anyone. I said what if some people are non-believers, bitter & broken. She said thats not your issue. Pray for them and keep it moving. God did not intend for us to fix people. But if you continue to do the right things; continue to encourage a few by talking to a multitude.

My son always started a text or phone call with "mom", I knew something was up. I said son what is today. He said I want to get my Princess 1 last special item for Christmas. I said son its Xmas eve swing by Target; kids are most interested in your appearance not so much of Gifts. Its our parental teachings and expectations we place upon them. He proceeded to say what about everyone else. I said son focus on what you have. Christmas is only 1 day a year. You give in redundancy including your mental energy to all around you. And since we made this day about receiving; share with people of what they keep choosing of not to sacrific of 364 days a year. So when they have no money or anything tangible gift to give in this life. We can appreciate one another with love & respect then Laugh about it later. But for the children go all out with no regrets. I remember he laughed to the top of his lungs my son Dominique saying "mom" you crazy. I responded Lord did not allow me to bare bad fruit in crying & sacrificing in those required seasons of my entire life. That you also are the image of responsibilities and a father that is a loving man. So in the end there will not be one reason you are these children will have to beg for bread. For the same God will allow us to bare good fruit in this life; and much Laughter at the end of it. 

After my sons death. I immediately gathered his children, and cousins. It was 7 in all. I even invited the mothers to join in our family gatherings as well. And on Wednesday nights I started out with all children a welcome to do homework with pizza and laughter. So know one is my Arthur. For years this is how my family operates. As a mother with many hats our motto is no child in this family; gets left behind. Because in this life of every season it will involve; a personal change & many sacrifices. And no family is exempt from the shift.

One morning on our staycations. And for the record not all people who are willing to make a sacrifice. Will do it in the form of money. It seems we must be reminded of our previous situations before placing higher expectations on anyone else. Are else the blessing will be missed. Moving forward. I had the baby girls cooking breakfast. Of course I prepped so they don't burn up my kitchen. Baby boy likes to sweep with a broom taller than him. The other two kingsman love electronics so I hide them. The boy cousins I call them my minnie genius. They love the kids in a smaller package. As they watch over each other. While they gather their clothes and blankets to fold & brush their teeth, and grease their mugs. And all through the house are images on the walls. Of daddy holding all these angels. His belongings flow in every room. So these children never have to miss knowing their father was loved; and so are they. So one day the oldest was eye balling me run around playful with all the kids is when he said to me "nana you are my big toy". I said son where is my battery today "nana need a super charge today". He said as he watched a tear drop from my eye. You know your son belong to God, first. I say touche minnie Dominique. And one day you will again be separated from me. Of course for adult reasonings. But in this season remember how I said God will never leave us in a moment without Laughter. This is when we must possess faith in Trusting The process. For in every time there is a season & purpose under the sun. If it were not so then why are we still here.

If you have not connected with Laughter today. Talk to God if not someone who does not mind; sharing with you in this season of uncertain times. For a tree is known by the fruit it bares. While Man creates an atmosphere of animosity. But wisdom is spoken from the mouth of babes. I seek laughter even when there is silence. And this morning those children laughing was God alarming me to RISE; again.

Blackish

This evening watching this family show; the main focus was spoken on HOPE. In a world of discouraging behaviors, and challenging barriers. How do we shield or expose the truth to our children. 

In this episode of what I caught near the beginning; both of the parents shared a difference in opinion. But they respected one another in communications in life changing views of information to the children of what HOPE should look like & the reality of what FEAR is really about. In a society of the world we see of bleakness & uncertainties. But so do our children of all ages. So one of the parents took to a defense of what should be spoken to the children. Regarding the fear factors on the opposite side of the door of the safe space any mother with strong concerns would hide of the world; to secure her children. Because the reality is even though the truth is not spoken; it does not mean its non existent. Of  the disadvantages and prejudices that the dad exposed in concern to his children. Of real information in of the Powers that could be used against them. In a society of 1 determining factor; of whether they live or die. No matter what walls they live behind. Inequality is a dangerous factor for them, in comparison to any other race in this world of dangerous algorithms of inequal justice's.

I remember a conversation with my gc’s mothers this was after my sons death; it was as if they harbored a rebellious spirit. And that was not my real concern. I stand firm with my son. And acknowledge  our differences in wisdom & knowledge. And how the barriers crossed in disrespect can cause immature clapback. We could waste time blaming our differences beginning with parental directions in us All,  and life experiences we have or not. But the reality is time is getting late; and this will not be a competition no one will in. This is a time of real survival and strong focus is required. Now that any biological father or mother is no longer here. To share the reality of  life with his or her own small children.  Of who and why all children  will be exposed to life in a different world. And due to his or her absence its imperative every child should know all their families. To ensure they are mentally empowered and not harbored from wisdom and knowledge. Of how the logistics of Power in the real world  works against us in injustices and even in our own society; no matter if you survived a circumstance, are how loud we bark or manage to think we have out thought the process. No one can out run time. When it comes to our conduct, understanding and  resilience to change. We must be more mindful of what has not been exposed to All. To remain reserved in our mindsets. Not knowing we are at a disadvantage for what we have not learned or accepted until it happens tp us for no reasoning. So we lose a sense of hope instead of attempting to hide if not denie our children a real conversation.

If we choose to ignore another call or respond attentively to another who has proven to deny us in arrogance. Dont lose  HOPE because of your actions in decisions. Find a reason to adjust your focus.      

For every story there is an Arthur who writes mysteries, love stories if not his or her own novels. And in them.we  can’t shield them behind bolted doors and plastered walls, block calls and attitudes and minimum conversations. While depending on people who entertain us with lies; until we are faced with the truth. And if the COVID-19 has not revealed to us who we have become in our own strengths, and weaknesses, if not a united NATION; it’s time we re-evaluate what’s in this life worth fighting for. In case change is Totally Dependent on US.

Authors

The Author is a significant title; this person is a mediator, narrator, or main character who has a unique skill in bringing the writing in short stories alive, creator of blogs, real characters present their monologues, writers advertise editorials, while newspapers  sale off the news stands. And millions of Best Selling Novels are in movement around the world. 

Who is this Arthur of creativity in vision. Who uses his or her hands with the stroke of a keyboard, paper and pen?

Who are the characters in the stories an Arthur writes about. And who are the readers who either end up on a page. If not invited by a story that relates to their life's?

It is you, I, and them. We feed into one anothers story, idea or  sources of information. Then presented to the world of Fiction & Nonfiction  stories. 

My grandmother wrote letters until the age of 88. I spent the summers learning chores off the land. But I also watched her with every stroke of her pen. And listened with anticipation of learning more to how a story line begins to every end. And what I noticed was with each letter she wrote it was different in style. Because every line did not repeat in wording. It was a rhythm that flowed on every line to the recipents of a response. And once I had my own son. I talked with him in such a tone. Of whatever he initiated of a conversation. He would listen for at least 1hr if not 20min in silence. He also did this form of communication to bond with his own children. For 28 years we both took away from every phone call if not a text "God bless soul". A style of communicating from one Arthur to the next.

My point is this not every statement will be acknowledged with an answer or another question. However if direction is sought stick with the recipients dialogue. For not every letter or book will be written by one Arthur in this life. Why, because not all stories are written based on facts. Or real stories may never be heard. However the story should present some answers. But not without an established relationship of informative  conversation. Because not every letter written by the Author will address a multitude if not a few in the audience in the same or different directions.

In this life we all have our stories to tell. Either you will be The Arthur of your own  Chapter if  not Novels, are maybe a reader of many books that either relates to a relationship of sourced information. Or the Arthur's  writing has attracted you to a story hook. 

Black Labor White Power

How can we disregard the history; and grow angered & spiteful towards one another for fufiling the legacy of the pages in this Book by Claude Anderson Published in 1941; Black Labor and White Power. Slavery & Jim Crow public policies that utilized black labor to industrialize a nation. It focuses on how black people were engineered mentally and physically into disparities & named by false  identifies & led by tailored beliefs. To act out in  competitive behaviors of being the players and winners in our own race of people. But in reality we are playing one another. But not in a game of monopoly to win. Are to gain  knowledge for advancement to help one another; but a game we remain being played in against our own people .

The question is who told us we were were free; and who allowed our ancestors to be free. Where in history have there them, those,  and us in our Kings & Queens of African decent do not exist? 

Then over generations somehow we returned back to these pages of untitled names of slavery in history. Even though some of our people; prospered in education * Black Wealth. To be deceived and sold back of themselves to the White Powers that labeled identities in Black Labor in history.

We play rivalry againsty one another in this White Power of a game in strategy; of Black Labor vs. Black advantaged where neither of us are destined to never win. If we hate each other with such an intense behavior to prove something. Then what is it we struggle to love about ourselves. And remain vulnerable to this White Power in who will deny us but continue to show us our own Black worth. 

If my mother taught me to be free in my mind and I desired a strong will to live and pass down this wisdom to my own son, daughters and my African American grandchildren because they are small and vulnerable; then why am I being the one cursed and they being denied in knowing their own people, worth and freedoms. By their own people who control them through  manipulation. In their own behviors of aggression in his or herself; but not expressed towards the oppressors of White Power to answer back. To why in reasoning of our sold out history,  denied equality and harbored in seclusion to speak out loud and manipulated to not think for ouselves. While being cheated and lied to; about who is really of Black laborers in Power & Wealth.

The information provided to a black people has been objective for generations. And yet we still argue with each other over our own issues, accomplishments, capabilities and self identifications. 

When my black child was robbed of his life. I remember him saying why can't I be free to choose. I said son you and your children don't owe another person anything to live & think freely. However the day you are not present in this life. I will have a burden to bare. For knowing you were not going to be held captive to other people whose intent is to control you & answer back to someone else. Because you will not deny yourself or your seeds a right to their own state of minds. And the day you express in knowing your own identify as a black man to his own of Black Labor amongst White Power. There will be situations to acknowledge. Because of the stained history of our black people over generations. Where some continue to live in denial of themselves. To facing up to &  finding the healing from being oppressed by the instruments of White Power.

If White Powers controls our freedom. And lost identities denies our unity. When are we and our children really free. When we work against one another for Knowing that we are Powerless due to the works of our generation of Black Labor. And refusal to address the state of our mental condition in staying vulnerable to; White Powers not approached.

Don't deny yourself a future for being controlled by these things;

DEVIL

PEOPLE

MONEY 

THE PAST of what or who has not shown accountability in being addressed. For one day we shall all share Peace on Earth. 

 

Journey

We started on this journey together; and there are times we will be intentionally separated apart. Just remember nothing can separate real love.

Our trials will test each other in patience, jilted emotions will devour a mindset over generations, spite & jealousy will separate us because of the greed if not guilt vs. wisdom and forgiveness. Depression cloud our visions & confusion stigmatize our growth. 

No worries faith & courage is what some people fight with. Silence and fear in what others operate in. Time is of the essence and this journey will not last forever. 

The journey is going to happen; and before we see and know it. Time is going to change things; whether we,us are them. Is prepared, preparing are not ready at all.

SIS

Stay safe, Be Informed and Secure all is of priorities around you.

Safety is a precautionary measure taken; in the event we are not warned what is ahead of us; in man's or life's plan.

Information is vital; and we must be opened minded to listening or either follow trained instructions.

Security of ones self is crucial in the world; but also is securing the little people, elders and the space we share. 

In the event we, you are them is separated. Share * Secure some Informative information to stay Secure. Until we are in one anothers arms; again.

Hazardous Road Conditions

The weather reported this morning; the roads are icy and dangerous. So please take a moment to reflect on what is most important. After this morning we watched live as the Fed-Ex truck flipped over a Wall on interstate 35W in Fort Worth.

We pray for the families involved who are going to receive a call; the call they were not expecting at all. And we can all relate the bills are due, kids are out of class and our feelings are on the edge. Because the bills are due and the plan for survival is slow in motion are unclear. However, rest in knowing bills will be around long after the customer is gone. And our families will mourn the horrific cause. So once again, make preparations for this week by slowwwing down for once. Tomorrow is not promised are neither is the next moment. 

 

Black

So many mothers are wearing black dresses these days, and no its not for dinner parties or a cultural event. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Italian or Jewish, Muslim and all mothers. Mothers are laying to rest their babies of all ages. 

I began singing at the age of 2. My son knew how to dress himself, prepare his own plate and could determine hot & cold water to bathe by the age of 2. Because this young mother at the age of 22 worked a night shift at the postal service. And sometimes Dominique did not want to wake me up. But as I slept I dreamed of him knowing he had slipped out of my arms; and immediately I would awake to finding my terrible 2 taking care of me. By allowing mom to rest. And even in death I stand committed to him.

Its not how we lived our lives; in the eyes of someone else. It's how we loved on each other, our children, family, mates and a few good friends; if there are any living of those true friends who appreciated the idea of change. And share the true story behind the journey of those at rest; footprints. 

Tonight I was thinking to myself as I prepared my son to rest. It was 2 days before we talked about a life for his children. It was the night before we would say I love you for the last time. And the next morning his life was robbed. If only I had one more day to say again; its impossible to do Gods work. And love on people that are incapable to respect, communicate and love you back no matter what you give.

We assume to no one another. But no one knows a child; like his or her mother. And even if we fuss & disagree. A son will always seek his mother for love, truth and understanding.

If you never had a bond with your child or children. Love is not dressing them in fancy clothes. "Yelling to the top of your lungs, in bullying a child to hurry in grow up". Are neither is cohabitation a confirmation you own someone. Love is not arguing in a relationship and creating animosity for someone who is willing to give more of; what you are willing to take in the end. And distrust is not loyalty in a friendship.

This song gives me comfort. Someone is in need of comfort as well. Even if you have not lost a child. The idea of losing a child should encourage you to change if not build on that relationship. 

Our race & struggles maybe disputed & segregated. But  heartache is a state no race of man can escape. You Just Don't Know.

In memory of our Sons & Daughters. 

Wealth

https://fortune.com/2020/06/01/black-ceos-fortune-500-2020-african-american-business-leaders/

In 2020 A List of Fortune 500; there were only 5 Black CEO's. And when the cycle of money is broken; what financial window will open? And when we can no longer communicate and respect one another’s sacrifices and lending hands. Who then can we lean on for sincere financial directions. For the children in this generation if not near or closer to struggling without knowledge? And in some situations for no reasoning; but fear to change an attitude and vision.  

Wealth is not always what another person leaves at death, it is not a promissory note to ensure you live your best lives of good fortunes with someone else. Or neither is wealth passed on if there is no financial knowledge to invest in its growth. So why do some people turn into savages with resentment of entitlement for money that was either worked for by someone else. To ensure a mature person establishes the next generation to receive wealth?  

When we are attempting to assist other people who are not money savvy there are things to be considered. Before the trail of endless giving; first establish the understanding with respect of the persons situation and then provide to them guidance in the event they will listen; because some people will allow their circumstances to become your long term obligations. Unrealistic expectations.

And what many of us have learned is this we cannot all live in a mindset of Fantasy Island; where Mr. Roark is not a real person in our real life situations.  

We can all share our work experiences. As for myself a young girl at the age of 13 years of age I worked in the community with many elders; and what it taught me was to mentally prepare my mind for a shift to occur financially in this new generation. And after my only child deceased he had plans to intervene; where greed would turn into rage, spite and present envy.

We can fall behind getting caught up in the $ sign, before investing patience, knowledge and time in educating ourselves on how pennies turn into dollars, and nickels turn into dimes. And for every fifty dollar bill tucked away its closer to reaching a $100 dollar bill on any given day. Because some people are planning around the reality of taking short cuts, plotting, scheming and establishing blind commitments. With the wrong intentions to gain money out of entitlements.  

This may not apply to you today; but do not be surprised once someone is in need of your financial assistance. Are you one day fall short of understanding by investing the money you are holding; was taken for granted. 

Shall we proceed to understanding if not respecting the access in credit and raw tender? Since the Covid-19 has impacted the world financially. Inflation escalated, jobs are being furloughed if not lost, pensions are being replaced with 401k’s, mortgages and rents collapsed, credit lines dropped if not closed with balances that remain in promissory notes of balances still owed. And those welfare benefits will not accommodate the beginning of the domino affect; let’s proceed in doing the math.   

In the event the plans occurs in July, 2021. The question in the meantime is what plans have we made on your own. This example was significant because someone is banking only of this 1yr government plan.  

3600/12=$300 month

The average single parent receiving welfare with at least 3kids under 6yrs of age=$900 month.

3000/12=$250 month multiplied by children under 18years of age.

The purpose of the video; is for us to fix the immature understanding at this level. In order to make it to a new level. 

Humpday Wednesday

I shared this info on Feb. 9th. Incase a few were of you were running through time.

Feb. 10, 2021

Rise and shine the race is on this morning you will need to be ready & focused. To use your fingers when selecting a county. And if you are encountering trouble on the website; proceed to setup an account on line.

On March 1. Collin county will be opening up a link to assist with qualifying recipients with rents. Again, you must seek the information for yourself. Now you have been provided the resource.

CVS: 70 Pharmacy locations across Texas will start scheduling online Thursday Feb. 11th.

Sam's Club: 

• Yes, through this partnership, Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies can now accept and administer federal allocations of the COVID-19 vaccine.  Walmart and Sam’s Club are working with the federal government to help increase access to COVID-19 vaccines at select pharmacies in 22 states once vaccine doses are available, starting Thursday, February 11.   The beginning phase of the program is designed to engage the system in a limited way to ensure the infrastructure is ready for large scale implementation when vaccine supply increases.  

These locations have been advertised to be administering the Covid-19 vaccinations. If the links are still hard coded keep trying somethings will change in the blink of an eye. Depending on the County that link could default back to a different page with an adjustment in change of availability. It would behoove you to continue in keeping watch. Because time slots will quickly fill-up. In a Time that shows ALL in humanity; the window is small for our reservation to live in convenience. So now we have an obligation. To ourselves & elders for the generations they carried us All. And even in their old age they will comfort us in their fragile arms. So its our duties to see they are here.

Qualifications will require for the general public 65 & up with or w/out underlying conditions.  Its your responsibility to read the fine printed. This is not a competition to compare our instincts in knowledge. Now that we have been provided  some clarity in direction. 

We can never be 2 invested with busy; too see the writings on The Walls. Only we can save ourselves. If you choose to be vaccinated or not. Then be safe & responsible if not in respect of others; then what about to yourselves.

Peace & Blessings 

Children Encouragements

Being a loner; does not mean you have to be alone. Once you discover the things that you enjoy about yourself. Other children will recognize and approach you with a hand of friendship.

Most children are not taught how to extend an olive branch; and what I mean is this. Acts of kindness develop in the smallest of children.

I emphasize the feelings of  children, because their feelings count because these children are a blessing. And one day these children will mature in physical & mental development of their own personalities. But not without a personal experience of processing lifes challenges. So we take the time wisely to invest in our children who will one day; mirror us the adults in our choices, rebellious decisions and many mistakes. So the proper guidance is required of a Village to raise all our children.

In reality we cannot denie; some children never grow up. And the generation they lead will struggle. Because of the denial to address our own personal attitudes and issues we could of corrected to save our own children.

One day time allowed us moments with one another. Another day we watched one another grow. And overtime we either invested or wasted the time we could did more with our children.

Hug, kisses and appearance; is encouraging in the childs presence .

Clothes and materials things are nice. But time is pricesless with a child.
