Ten things I wanna say to a Black Woman

The Optimist Creed

I promise myself:

• To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
• To talk health, happiness, & prosperity to every person I meet.
• To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
• To look at the sunny side of everything & make my optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, & to expect only the best.
• To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
• To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful expression at all times & give a smile to every living creature I meet.
• To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
• To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, & too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
• To think well of myself & to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
• To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Now go out and and spread some positivity

In my time of distress

I was  looking back at some old pictures while cleaning today and some I laughed and the others made me cry.  Three weeks ago tomorrow I lost my friend Jonathan James in a vehicular accident.  I am thinking about how fragile life can be and the implications of some of our actions.  Am I sad? Definately- there is this little hole where he used to be and for some reason it feels broken yet not so broken.


How does life go on in the aftermath of death? I remember him in front of me, the words he spoke and the things we did.  The dreams we had and shared.  Has that been broken because he is no longer here? No not at all just as he was strong in this life i think he went the same way.  he has not truly left me but he is around in spirit...Its hard on some days to admit that he was and no longer is but as I russle with my thoughts i am reminded that being meek, humble and steadfast is just as important as all the other things that make up this life.  have an awesome week Blessed love.
