Gullah Gullah Island

As I was talking to a co-worker who visited South Carolina this weekend, I immediately though about Gullah Gullah  Island. Man I really loved that show when I was younger.

I would get out of school and rush home so that me and my brothers can tune in to Nick. I wanted to be apart for that family sooo bad..lol

A few years ago I was reading an article about the sea Island and its residents and caught a show on PBS that really intrigued me.

Fast for to today, I have an urgent itch to read up more about the Gullah culture. I went in search of the cast, and came across the mother on the show Natalie Daise website Gullah Mama.  I just love her website!  I want my kids to know about the culture we have from Africa that is still practiced today. I most defiantly want to take a trip soon!.

Discussion: Step- parents

Would you let a step parent discipline your child?

Clarence Brown- Male Translation

So on Sunday, a friend of mine named Clarence invited me to a round table discussion  on a host of topics. Ranging from the 80/20 rule. Light vs Dark etc. All i can say was  it was love!. The first part of this series we discussed the Hummer vs Ferrari topic. Take a look at the podcast and tell me what you think.. ohh.. thats me in the black and the big hair..lol

My feelings- Broken hearted

This was my feelings 2 months ago.. things have changed:

Its crazy.. just thinking about the previous day.. how I expressed to this person that I loved and cared for them, but they never chose me first.. and in return they stated they felt I never choose them first either. If the feelings are mutual and we both care about each other, would you want to try to make it work? I’m no rocket scientist, but that would be even the more reason to be together. I feel like I always gave more of my heart. In each relationship I always gave more than the other person was willing to give. I actually went through this for over 12 years.. Always going back and forth in between relationships . I admit that I always kind of knew this person would stick around as a friend or confidant sometimes more. When we were together it was never consistence. It was more of a “friends with benefits” relationship. I really hate that term because it’s never really beneficial to the person who craves more. Ah I’m getting misty eyed now.. :(.. any who let me finish my truth. I always kind of felt like I wasn’t good enough for that person, and i think that where think also when out of hand. When you relax your standards and become too accommodating to people and their needs That leaves room for them to play on those feeling. In no way am I blaming.. I let it happen.. I became super venerable. There were a bunch of lies, betrayal etc during these 12 years, so we didn’t take each other serious because of it. Every time I would see this person and spend time with them (lives out-of-state) it seemed like these old feeling would surface. Then after I leave I would let him know how I felt. Them he would get mad and tell me why didn’t i express them in his presence. Well the true of the matter I didn’t want to be hurt.. He would then retort that I gave others the courtesy of knowing how I feel face to face and not him. This has become a vicious cycle.

TBT: I open my heart to you

Can you totally open you heart to someone?

Being able to give and receive love unconditional?

Without limitations or criteria?

Just writing that gives me chills. I mean in an adult relationship? Not children, because that another kind of love that should come natural because it’s an extension of one self. Meaning two adult people giving all of themselves 100% with no leftover. Thinking of the other person in totality? I honestly don’t think it can be done. I do believe that someone is capable of giving at least 75 percent. I’ve seen it done mostly by women. I think we are designed to love, be loved, nurturer and affectionate. I’ve notice over the past few years that love has been shunned and lust has been glorified. Lust comes into place when love is consider attainable, and a quick fix. Then it becomes the new norm. Especially with technology, it’s easier to get microwave “love” at the drop of a hat. But to actually find a person you can be totally open to, completely vulnerable with, and expose your inhibitions to is a rare.I want that old school kind of love, where there is love when it isn’t anything else. But communication is always the key to unlock the heart. Once again technology plays a promenade role in this. It’s so easy to write your felling in a text, or email, but the authenticity is in the tone, visual, and emotions that are displayed when its a person to person, face to face. ok.. i feel like I’m getting all mushy.. so leave a comment, question, or debate.. intrigue me!

Bad Day

Bad Day

Man: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Man: Promise You won’t get mad …
God: I promise
Man: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Man: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Man: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Man: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Hmm
Man: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Man: And on top of it all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn’t work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Man (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn’t let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Man: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn’t want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.

Man (embarrassed): Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Man (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all
of the power in your house tonight. I didn’t think you wanted to be in the dark.
Man: I’m Sorry God
God: Don’t be sorry, just learn to Trust Me…. in All things, the Good & the bad.
Man: I will trust You.
God: And don’t doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Man: I won’t God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your God and looking after My Children.

To the reader:
I’m sorry to disturb you ! My name is God. You hardly have time for me. I love you and always bless you. I am always with you. I need you to spend 30 minutes of your time with Me today. Don’t pray. Just chat.  Tomorrow will be the Best Day of your life………please share me with others by passing this along to your friends and family……
