Let me cook, iron and clean
Let me explore, let me dream
Let me kiss and comfort you
Let me do just what I do

Relationships start off like oh so right
Making love damn near every single night
Dancing, the movies, going out bowling
Cracking so many jokes, I'm on the floor rolling

Today I saw an owl
Or did he see me?
For I looked outside the window
And saw him sitting in a tree

I've heard people say they "Found God"
You didn't find God, because God was never lost
You say, you lost your wallet, or you lost your keys…
You didn't lose your keys, you misplaced your keys

How much in our life do we copy/paste and what is the effect of it?
You can copy/paste pictures, my energy, my attitude, my emotions, my spiritual growth… but what is it about copying?
You have the choice in life what you choose to copy and paste if any.

Welcome to December. A joyful, jolly month. A month of happiness, beautiful lights, decorations, positive vibes, excitement, gift giving, peace on earth and love. Yes, this is the right time and this is the right season. A season of endings, out with the old and beginnings, in with the new. End the year strong and begin the new year even stronger.

I have decided the gift to myself this Christmas is to start doing right, not just in some areas, but in every area of my life. And how I will do that is to maintain a right attitude, stay on the right path with the right frame of mind, right my wrongs, have the right perspective and outlook on life, live right, eat right and do what is right by God.

A Gift from God -
On an unexpected day, I discovered that I no longer lived alone. Without applying for or putting up a sign of vacancy or even a for rent sign, I am now renting out a space within. Yes, within my body. I guess you would say, an Airbnb rental. I wouldn't say you a squatter, but yeah, you just popped up and showed up and found you a nice, warm place to stay.
And although I didn't ask for a roommate, I now all of a sudden have a womb mate. My womb mate did not sign a lease, yet somehow became a part of my lease.
Alright, I see now, I see what's going on. I see we got some figuring out to do, but it is what it is and we gon be alright.

What people get to decide and validate other people by categorizing them? Is it the "good people, " the "rich people, " the "smart people…? "
I'm really just trying to understand something.
Who decides and what makes them relevant when we the people are all "Just People? "
Where did this come from and why is it still allowed in this day, age and time? We are singled out, casted out, separated, isolated, placed above, placed beneath, considered better than, considered less than, worthy, unworthy… all because of the labels that enables. Yes, the labels that are placed before the people to identify the people.

Baggage claim -
What are you bringing or have brought into your relationship? Are you bringing checked bags or carry ons? Did you bring extra suitcases, or are you just bringing a personal item?

Let's talk about it.

Yes I said it - The Dressless, cause what are they really wearing?
It's practically nothing. Should it be called "Clothes for Hoez? "
But why do they dress less? Is it for attention, is it insecurity, is it they lack confidence, is it cute, is it tacky, is it sexy, is it to "fit in, " is it misleading, is it enticing…?

Oh, so you the new Patrol Officer now huh? Here comes Phone Patrol, the phone patrol officer who wants to roll, scroll and patrol through their mate's phone. All of yall know one, heard of one, hell, yall might even be one.

You wanna look at their recent call log, call numbers back, look through their pictures and definitely wanna read their text.
But why? Is it insecurity, lack of trust, jealousy, guilt… What?

Are you ready? I mean, are you REALLY ready for some football?

Are you ready for some yelling, some fun, some cussing, some drinking, partying and tailgating?

When the devil comes under attack and you know he will, don't be discouraged or be dismayed, just say to him, "I'm going get God."

What does it mean when you say, "I'm going get God? "
First of all, you don't have to go far to get God because He will never leave you nor forsake you.

I found a pecan on the ground
I picked it up when no one was around
A young lady parked her bike and was sitting on the ground crying her heart out because her boyfriend cheated on her before and didn't want her anymore. I stopped, talked and comforted her with the words I had to say. Her tears were dried, I gave her a hug and she went on her way.
...

In the morning in the mirror, the first face I see
I grab the towel and wash my face to see a clearer me
I can see it in my face that I can face today
You are beautiful I say, before I walk away

Hey yall, I have a new Comforter. I'm so excited. My new Comforter is soft, warms my soul and adds brightness to my life. And this new Comforter is different than what I'm used to, because I'm filled with such a warmth I've never felt before, much better than any sherpa, plush or down, any pillow or teddy bear. I am so blessed, grateful and thankful to have this Comforter. I find such a calmness and a sense of peace with my Comforter, and when I am under my Comforter, I know I am loved and protected just by the warmness felt.

Well actually, my Comforter isn't new, my vision of my Comforter is new, because truth be told, my Comforter has been here all the while.

The 'United States, ' what exactly does that mean?
Does that mean only the states that are 'united' and sides with one's set of ways and views? And how is it that the 'Red' states are considered better and put on a pedestal and the 'Blue' states are bashed and called poor, unfit and crime infested? But let's say for the record that those statements are true. Well, they didn't become that way overnight, which means, it has been like this for some months or even years and in that case, could it be a reflection of 'The Leadership? '
Things that are currently happening right now are happening right now and should have some resolution or action being taken right now, not in November, December or next year.
