My head is cloudy....my nose is stuffy just need some type of pill to take the pain away
Pain of not knowing...Pain of confusion...Pain of fear....Pain of change
One day I have it figured all out then the next day I'm back to negative square one
The saying goes when you don't have a answer stand still and wait for God to show...
But what if you've been standing still for 8 years??? Is there a limit on when to stay and when to go??
My mind is racing 1000 miles a minute but can't make one single decision to push me to the limit
You pray and pray and pray and pray....just to do the same things each and every day
Exploring all avenues but none seem to generate revenue...
It's never about the money but bills gotta get paid honey!
Wanting to do what I love but what that is...I have no clue
Focusing in...but i always give in
Efforts always seem to go unnoticed.
Wish I could see that smiling face instead i'm trapped in the rat race
Wishing we could be paid to see the world...there has to be a way
Distance and life drain the spice...being real tight would be so nice
Longing for something I can't seem to find but feeling so blessed there should be no stress
Reminding myself I'm already equipped
If only there were a life instruction manual
This is the most random set of words I've ever put together, some rhyme and some don't just thoughts amongst the brain. Honesty Hour was inspired by Alex Elle...

The Things We Don't See....
When we were flying through the clouds the sun was shining so bright, the sky was crystal clear and everything was perfect! As we began to get closer to the ground, that's when we were able to tell there was a overcast in Baltimore and it was so weird because right above it there was the closest thing to perfect! That was just inspiration to believe in the things the are not seen...FAITH! Sometimes we can't see our clear sky or sunny day but BELIEVE that it is there. What we see is not always our reality...
Don't let the bad days ruin the good ones...there will be a change for the better, it's only natural :-))
Crazy Laaady lol
Things you do when you are delirious and need to go to bed! Had a little fun with my wonderful iphone and frametastic app! I actually took all but the last photo back to back lol
Sometimes in life we can take things too seriously so free yourself from others opinions, make silly faces, eat lots of cupcakes and laugh as much as possible even if it's by yourself with yourself! I know I do it all the time :-))
Let's Go!!
This is my new fave song and video!! It reminds me of Chris Brown's Beautiful People! I've seen the video a couple times but never really payed close attention to the words or the video itself. But I just watched it and I started silent clapping lol at my desk when I saw my girl LaTonya who won Born To Dance!!! She is from DC and she worked soooo hard during that competition, I am very happy for her.
This is a great motivational song and a push to get moving on whatever it is you are trying to do! There is no time to waste, sometimes we have to drag ourselves out the bed but the goal is to GOOO!

Can you befriend a person who is unhappy with their life??
I was watching this interview with Oprah and 50 Cent...I've included a clip and the part that caught my attention (1:35) was when Oprah said you can only truly be friends with someone enjoys and is happy about their own life. She said if you are famous but I feel that can apply to people who are not famous as well. Now I'm not saying it is impossible to be friends with people who may not be totally fulfilled but the key word is truly...you can be friends but a TRUE friendship is best when both parties are happy with their life. Even if their circumstances may not seem like a situation you would be in, as long as they are happy a true friendship can be built. When there is envy, imitation, jealousy etc. that is not a true friendship. Grant it, there is nothing wrong with admiring a person and certain things they've done in their life but when you begin to covet and try to emulate their whole being, that is fake!
This world has turned into a bunch of look a likes and if you don't want to be apart of the "look a like" crew then you're considered a square. There is nothing wrong with doing what you want to do...when you do you actually feel more comfortable and that's where happiness comes from, then you are able to be a better friend to those around you. I can agree, it is hard to not pick up tendencies and get caught up in a "group" opinion when in friendships but we have to stay focused on our course and admire without trying to BE LIKE the next person. Some people like to have their own fan club and want people to be jealous of them but who wants to be surrounded by fakes and frauds?

Daughters...
This video is one of the many reasons I love Nas! Been in the game and still raps with relevance and so many people can feel where he's coming from.
The lyrics and the video depicted a clear picture of how he was feeling and it was real bold of him to put out there the issues he's dealt with while raising his little girl. All men feel this way but some have a hard time showing it and others aren't bold enough to admit where they could have done a little better. Kids grow up so fast and a lot of time parents think we have all this time in the world, that kids don't have feelings and they'll always be there when we feel like being bothered with them. Life is short and kids may be there when they are adults but they will always remember things you've done when they were kids, both good and bad!
I know with the economy how it is, people have to work 10x harder so a lot of parents may be taken away from the home more often to be able to provide. It's so important to still try to find some type of way to make the kids feel special, spend some type of quality time and not just think gifts and money will compensate for that lack of attention.

Red Table Talk...AWESOME
I'm rushing right now so I'll update this post later this evening...but this video is amazing!! I'll upload part two as well
ok...so i hope you looked at both videos, i know they are lengthly but if you are a family oriented person there was a lot one could take from and apply it to their families. Or get a glimpse into how some of our parents may feel but just never told us or never had the platform to speak on it. No parent is perfect and I'm sure ALL parents wish they may have done some things differently but if we get a deeper look into their past and childhood we will began to have empathy for some of the things we never understood about them. Then the child can be able to help the parent heal from some unresolved issues or just be on the same page of understanding. When we understand one another it's easier to forgive and be able to make relationships closer.
I love how Jada allowed Willow the freedom to express herself, a lot of kids are shut down because parents feel kids should have no say so or opinion but this is why a lot of adults do not know how to communicate and relationships crumble due to lack of communication. Grant it, some things are just not up for discussion but kids should be able to voice their opinions...RESPECTFULLY which shows them it's ok to speak as long as the motive is to come to a resolution. This shows kids at an early age that communication isn't meant to destroy but to build. Children today deal with a lot and they definitely need a way to get it out because as we can see, when children internalize their problems they let them out in violent, disrespectful and attention seeking ways.
I know i'll try my best to allow my son to tell me how he feels even if it's something I may not want to hear. But knowing how he feels will allow me to be a better mom to him. As adults we don't like to hear the truth and kids are the best source to get it from because it's innocent but not watered down at all!
