~Promise Me~

Hold your head up high

I do not want to see you cry, 

The love you have given me is warmer than a home cooked Southern apple pie,

 Momma promise me one thing, 

 And that is you will never say good-bye,

 Because God has given me a halo and wings, 

So whenever you need me I will fly, 

And momma when you look up to the sky at night and you see a shooting star, 

That is me granting a wish for you, I told you I am not far, 

 I am your precious daughter,

 blow your kisses to me in the sky, and I will assure you I will catch them instantly, 

 Hand on the bible no lie, 

 And momma promise me one thing, and I will do the same for you,

 and that is you will always have continuous love for me,

 Like I will always have continuous love for you 

I wrote this poem for one of my sorors. She lost her baby girl this month a few years ago. Her baby was not even one years old. So I posted this to say if your a mother cherish your child/children! You never know what tomorrow may bring.

~It is My Dream~

Close your eyes and take a moment to visualize your dreams.
  This is something I do almost everyday until someone from the world snaps me back into reality.
Well until that happens let me dream, no let us dream.

And we can smile while day-dreaming, because after all it is our dream!!

~The Steps in the Journey~

I finally completed my "Bridges Out of Poverty" class. It was a 10 week process but I made it through! Last week we had our graduation. I was grateful to work with an awesome group of ladies, some of which I work with now! We all are on different paths to success. I was bless to be touch by each one of these ladies. I hope our light shines as we continue on our journey.......

~A Little Life Lesson~

One of my life lessons is to take relationships for what they are. Meaning friends, family, spouse, co-workers, everyone you come in contact with. Some people will fail you and or even lie to you. The saying is true "when someone shows you who they are believe them." I want to take this quote a bit further and say when they do except it.

Sometime we want people to change, and the truth is we can not do that. A person changes when they want to change, but when we accept it that is half the battle. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have separated my friends into categories. Yes, I know which ones to call for their specific areas of expertise. I have told secrets to some of my friends, and it didn't remain a secret. We all had this happen to us before, if not you will experience it sooner or later. Even though it happened in the past, do you think I will trust them again? The answer is absolutely not, but some of them are still my friends. They're just in a category of "no secret telling." So I hope you like my little life lesson, and will take these tips into consideration.

 Three simple tips: 

• Accept relationship for what they are!
• Use the category method
•  Get over it
