Thanks Giving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! As we all get ready to go eat & enjoy ourselves with our families & friends, I wanted to give you a quick food for thought. Somewhere right now at this very moment there is someone or a family who doesn’t have any food, a roof over their heads or even clothes on their backs. There are soldiers who are in war that can’t go home to their loved ones because they’re fighting for us & our freedom. There are people who are in the hospital battling a sickness. There are the elderly who are alone & feel forgotten because their family won’t take the time to go visit them. I say all this to say be thankful for the food you have to eat, the place you can go to called home, the clothes you have to wear, your health & strength & the family & friends who no matter how many disagreements & fights you all have had are there for you & love you no matter what. We need to learn to appreciate & be thankful for the people in our lives & the things we have not just today but everyday just in case it’s all gone tomorrow. We take for granted the simplest things that others who are less fortunate would cherish with all their heart. Remember to give as well because you could be the answer or have the answer to someone else’s pray. The word Thanksgiving says it all, give thanks & give. Enjoy today, be safe, be thankful & give!

You have Haters?

     Think about your life, what you’re doing with it & what goes on in it. Now tell me, do you have anything worth hating on for you to be able to say you have haters?  The word hater is used so frequently these days that I think people have either forgotten or never knew the real definition of a hater.  My definition of a hater is someone who lacks a purpose & vision for their own life. When you’re doing what’s necessary for you to make something of yourself & making moves to make your dreams your reality, there’s always going to be someone who’s hating on that. They’re hating because they didn’t or don’t have the courage, strength nor faith to go after what they want out of life. Haters are also fans because in order for them to commentate on you & what you’re doing they have to follow & observe you, instead of using that time to better themselves. People who have haters don’t feel the need to say they have haters because they are too busy & focused on fulfilling their own purpose & destiny. There’s no need to acknowledge the unimportant hence that’s why they’re not important. Giving shout outs to your haters is giving them recognition & lets them know that they’re on your mind. This in turn can make you look foolish if one you don’t even have haters & two who gives spotlight to haters/the unimportant. Now when saying you have a hater or haters, please make sure that you actual have something worth hating on.  I find it extremely amusing when someone says “Oh she’s hating on me because I have a man & she doesn’t”. Really?  She’s hating on you because you have a man who treats you bad & talks to you like you’re one of his boys or child? I don’t see why someone would hate on that. Granted there are people who do hate on others relationships because they don't have one of their own or don't have the type of relationship someone else has but be 100% sure that your relationship is a great one with a strong foundation , love & respect before you make a claim that someone is hating. You don’t have haters if you are not doing anything with your life. You don’t have haters if you’re not trying to fulfill your purpose in life & let your talents & gifts lye dormant. You don’t have haters if you represent the “hood life” or “thug life”. You don’t have haters if you’re pregnant by a deadbeat & neither one of you are working to support your child. You don’t have haters if you’re a very pretty girl but you let any man who says hi to you & shows interest in you get sex from you. You don’t have haters if you’re in a relationship where there isn’t real love & is an unhealthy one. You don’t have haters if your life is filled with nothing but drama & confusion. You don’t have haters if you hate your own life.  Think first & reevaluate yourself & your life before you go & embarrass yourself by stating you have haters when in all actuality you have ABSOULETLY NOTHING worth hating on.

Real or Fake ?

       Countless times I see on Facebook & Twitter somebody talking about somebody being fake in their subliminal post & tweets. It got me thinking. What makes a person so real that they can call someone fake? Just because you say a person is fake, doesn’t make you real. You’re just pointing out what you feel is a lie about that person or lies that that person is telling. My opinion on the matter is a person who is real is the one who keeps it a 100 24/7. They don’t sugar coat anything for anybody & call it like they see it. They’re also able to be true to themselves & recognize their own faults. A person who’s fake is obviously the opposite of a person who keeps it real. A fake person is someone who will lie, will be all friendly & full of smiles in your face but then talk about you behind your back, say they’re loyal to you but then stab you in the back. When someone is acting fake towards you, you don’t continue to be around them. Don’t call someone fake & then chill with them next week like everything is fine because that makes you fake as well. I know people who have personally said things about me behind my back & then turn around & are all smiles & laughs in my face. Am I fake for not calling them out on their BS? I’m not a confrontational person so I view it as avoiding drama. At the same time though I don’t indulge company with these people. You won’t see me out & about with them, that would be dumb on my part. It’s called common sense. When you’re someone who keeps it real, you don’t have to tell people. People will notice for themselves. It’s a natural thing. Now again these are just my thoughts on the matter. Just as real recognizes real, fake can recognize fake. Make sure you’re 100 percent real & true, before you start blasting who’s not.

I'm Doing Me

    Since I can remember I have always loved to write; whether it was poems, short stories or essays for school. I have always enjoyed putting words together & letting them tell how I feel or given my views on a situation.  My ultimate goal is to have my very own magazine. Everybody has to start somewhere so I decided to start with a weekly blog to get out what I wanted to say & for it to reach people. Now this blog will not be a Perez Hilton or Global Grind type blog. I will not be writing about the latest gossip on celebrities nor what’s happening in the entertainment industry. This blog is my view & opinion on life & the experiences it brings. What inspires me to write are things I see & people I’m around everyday. It could be a conversation with a friend or seeing a wild animal show compassion towards a human. The simplest & smallest of things trigger tons of thoughts in my mind. The pure excitement & happiness I feel when I’m writing & the sense of accomplishment I feel after I post a new blog only confirms what I already knew. I was meant to be a writer. Writing is only part of my purpose & what I am destined for.  I think we would have a lot more happier people in this world if they knew what it is they wanted to do & were going after it. One of my favorite movies of all time is The Jackson Family American Dream. I love that movie because it shows how Joe Jackson had a vision for his family & how he saw his kids had the potential & talent to make that vision a reality. They worked hard, made the vision he had come true & became the most famous & successful musical family in history. I have a great vision for my life & it will become my reality. I also have this thing called Faith that is unbreakable. I can take the first step without having to see the whole stair case because my faith lets me know everything will be fine.  Some have asked what is the purpose of this blog & what do I get out of writing it? The answer is pure satisfaction because I‘m finally doing me & making moves towards my ultimate goal! No one has to believe in me nor my vision. I believe in me & my vision & that’s honestly all that matters. Watch me move!
