Promise Of A New Me
There are so many things that I got from my mother that I am proud of my writing skills, curvy body and unfortunately a struggle with weight. Growing up I was a thin kid but as I got into my teens and older the battle of my weight began. I’m 5’7 so the ideal weight is between 129 pounds to 145 pounds. My weight would yo yo between 190 pounds to 210 pounds but once I had my boys my weight toppled to a whopping 289. I tried everything that I could all the fad diets I would lose a few pounds and gain it all back and then some. My highest weight was 320 pounds. The emergency room was like my second home having constant headaches and chest pains. Finally on one of my visits to the emergency room a doctor that became acquainted with me sat me down and started to press on my leg he goes “Do you see that?” “That’s fluid it’s around your heart too.” “Stop eating!”
I was so fed up with my weight. When there were parent teacher conferences I would always pick times when it was really early or really late I didn’t want to be an embarrassment to my kids let’s face it children can be cruel. The boys had enough on their plates they didn’t need me to be one of them as well. So I just made up my mind that I was going to do something about my weight. I started with Weight Watchers and Slim Fast bars along with walking daily. Before I knew it I was down 60 to 80 pounds so I let go of Weight Watchers and the Slim Fast bars. I watched what I eat and walked. With God behind me to help with my will power I went from 320 pounds to 154 pounds. Everyday is a struggle I love food and I eat when stressed. But I just keep fighting.

The Chains Must Be Broken
Anyone who knows me personally knows that I don’t have a racist bone in my body and I have no self hate. At times it can be hard being me and being attracted to white men doesn’t help matters either. At times I get a whole lot of flack from my fellow brothers. It needs to be understood I don’t hate them as a matter of fact I love them in a Christian way. There is a chain that needs to be broken and it starts in the homes. When a family is broken it causes lots of damages for some that can’t be fixed. The blame game comes into to play attached with hate. Some of the black young girls become black women who wants love so much that she loses sight of her worth. Black boys grow up into black men who sometimes hate their mothers and they take it out on fellow black women. The chains must be broken it’s time to stop all the hate and turn negative into a positive. I came from a broken home but I allowed that to make me stronger. I don’t have a bad attitude I am simply aware of what I want and I go for it.
I find this video interesting:
Springtime
It’s spring
I wonder what’s coming
Besides the beautiful flowers
Warmer weather
Blue skies
More time for the kids
To play outside
Glowing smiles
Hopefully many surprising things
All blessings
I’ll be waiting
Let the Biological Clock Tick
1992 may not mean much for some people, it was the year when a seed got planted into my subconscious. My Cousin Vinny had a part in the movie that stuck out to me. It was the porch scene when Mona Lisa Vito she was talking to Vinny she goes “My biological clock is [taps her foot] ticking like this.” that one little line would get me into trouble nine years later. In my twenties I was in a rush to do everything and placed a time on when important events were to happen. I have since learned that anything that requires a long term commitment allow the biological clock to tick. The last thing that should be done is forcing something that should not be. In my opinion the saying “You make your bed hard now you have to lay it” should not be forever for anyone.
We should not act like an ambitious entrepreneur or a pushy car salesman when it comes to pursuing relationships or having children. These situations effects more than just one person. I know that people always say that we must be careful who we have children with because we are stuck with the person for 18 years. I disagree having a child with a person is a lifetime commitment just because a child becomes 18 doesn’t mean that they will no longer need you. When the children graduate from college, get married or have their very own kids guess who else will be there besides you? I’m not being negative just realistic. As a matter of fact we should base these kinds of decisions on how our partner would treat us in case things don’t work out. A person who truly loves a person would not want to see the person hurt even if they are angry with them.
Real love is true love that at times have it’s ups and downs which should not be confused with red flags. Ups and downs in a relationship is when the love has been tested and proven that it’s meant. Therefore a relationship that is meant one puts in the work to keep it. Red flags are signs that have been popping up from the very beginning but they were ignored. Most times when a relationship is not meant family and trusted friends can see that it’s not. People on the outside tend to be able to see things better than those that are on the inside. It’s important to be wise about these things. Also sometimes loneliness and low self esteem can a play role how things get viewed. It’s all about realizing that we are worthy of the best. Single people should look at happy couples as an inspiration of what destiny has to bring but it won’t happen by rushing it. I truly believe that every person that comes into our lives are for a reason. Still some are for a season and some are permanent it’s all about knowing that difference. That is why I have learned to ignore the biological clock it can tick away I trust God and I know that everything will be okay.
Sister Power
Having a sister
Is like having
A special bond
Like no other
Sister Sledge
Made their pledge
To being a family
Of amazing sisters
It’s a part I love
To take happily
I love my sisters
That’s right all three
Sometimes we may
Not always agree
Still they are mine
And that makes me happy
It’s a big deal
For that I am delighted
I love seeing sisters united
Like the Pointer Sisters
I’m so excited
I’m not saying that
Having a brother is
A bad thing
I’m just saying
That sister power
Is like no other
It’s one of life’s
Greatest rewards
Like a sweet melody
By Mary Mary
The Clark Sisters
Have been showing
Their sister power
For years
Sisters bonds are dear
It’s so clear
There’s nothing like
Sister Power
Love Sick
Like having pneumonia or the flu
I’m love sick for you
A stuffy head
That’s filled with all kinds of thoughts
A dry cough that
Leaves my throat tickly
My stomach swarms with butterflies
Sneezes that are accompanied with blessings
Wheezing that leaves me breathless
Your love has me feeling helpless
A chest that holds a warm heart
I’m overflowing with so much love
You give me fever
My body is burning
My soul’s on fire
Your love takes me higher
It’s only you whom I desire
Yearning constantly
All these feelings are ones
That I have never known
A new chapter in my life has been born
Your love is in a class of it’s own
Even though these feelings make me
Feel so uncomfortable and vulnerable
They are still very much welcomed
And they help me to feel alive
My senses are tingling
What a sensation
All of my symptoms
Thankful for love
What a wonderful creation
I want it to stick
Don’t want no cure for it
Cause I am love sick
And I love it
Dallas Cowboys Fan
Let me start off by saying
That you don’t have to be a man
To appreciate the wonderful sport of football
Preseason, Postseason, Playoffs, Pro Bowl and Super Bowl
It doesn’t matter the season or reason I lose control
My team are the boys
In the silver, white and blue
Win or Lose
I stay faithful
I stay loyal
I stay forever true
Counting on number 9
To coincide with the offensive line
I am a strong believer
In our Wide receivers
Linebackers, Cornerbacks, and Safety
Protect the goal line
Don’t let the opposing team score
Not even a field goal
Come on defense
Put up that Iron Curtain
Come September
I will be yelling at the T.V screen
Doing my football dance
Calling out the referees
On their bad calls
I love football
I will represent
To the fullest
And I am so excited
Watching my team play
It gives my heart great joy
How Bout Them Dallas Cowboys
