It does however, provide you with the realization & living experience of what is ordained for you & what you create through your identity. Lets work on your "Living Faith"--Your right & ability to enjoy a richer, fuller, & more meaningful life at all times.

Im a Work In Progress....
In 2011 I will continue my journey & forgive myself for believing that anyone that occupies the flesh form as a human being could in anyway alter the truth of my being. Once I've done that it will be easier to forgive anyone for anything & not hold them hostage for making human errors. Lord Give Me Strength. I must accept that wherever I find myself is exactly where I need to be in that particular moment. Even when I desperately want to be somewhere else. I battle with experiences & circumstances that enhance what I see as inadequacies & self-doubt. I am destined for greatness vs. I have no self worth. I will concentrate on accepting that I attract relationships into my life that I need or that need me at that moment. It is all part of my growth. It is hard but in the end I pray that my faith stays strong to the possibility there will be people waiting for the person that I am becoming.
MY PROCESS (a natural phenomena marked by gradual changes that lead toward a particular result) IS VERY IMPORTANT. People tend to not understand my process isn't about them it's about me. They do not see that I face so many challenges, obstacles, devastations, & difficulties & I learn what I can & cannot do. No matter what, they don't want to or don't know how to accept that I'm dealing with these issues the best that I can under the circumstances and with the information that I have at the moment. I've done it everyone else's way. I've pushed my whole being into a dark place that I must escape from. If I don't I will cease to exist. In order to remember who I am I must realize that life is a process of recognizing who I am not. I am finally learning to "HONOR MY PROCESS"....To Be Continued....
It's unfortunate that my good qualities outweigh my bad a million to one yet people focus on & remind me of my inadequacies a million times more than they tell me that I'm phenomenal. Ironically, those same people will stand at my home going & speak highly of me. They will spend more time telling of how amazing I am at my eulogy than they did while I were alive. The majority of the people I encounter measure my worth by the things I don't do perfectly rather than who I am. I feel valued when someone says I'm exactly what they need in their lives. However, I always feel like the more I contribute to their growth the more unappreciated I feel. I suppose in the end what is missing is "self-value". I've never had fulfilling long lasting relationships in any aspect of my life. Wow, saying that aloud has a bit of a fresh bee sting in the summtime feel to it. I have had fulfilling spurts of greatness. They are usually ripped away like the band aid that my Gran promised wouldn't hurt...Ouch Gran, you told me a fib!! I have even had long lasting unhealthy relationships. You know like the greasy burger you continue to enduldge on even though your cholesterol is high??....To Be Continued....

Happy Birthday Shalil
Bright lights and cold rooms
Womb now hollow
Where you once rested
MY STAR IS BORN!!
Bedtime stories
Stars lit on ceilings edge
Prayers of safety
For friends and foes
Fingerprinted doorknobs
Stained glass and carpets
Puzzle time jokes and laughter
Till tears fall from glass eyes
Filled with surprise
When moms riff goes harder than yours
Simple days of chatting and snuggles
Unanswered calls going to “answering machines”
Lost keys and unlocked dreams
Adoring the world through
Car windowed trips
And fun filled visits
Baseball games ski trips and lifts
To distances and altitudes beyond the clouds
Transcending performances
To screaming crowds
Cell phones missing and answers whispered
Into canals of ears that hold deep secrets
Skinny jeans converses and handmade beads
Draping the necks of queens
Fashion designs and
Magazines lined in front of
Oprah screens and dancing feet
Celebrations of life death trials and triumphs
With family and friends that stand tall near and far
Parade marching and PRIDE lifting
Manhood Prevailed
Wishing you life wealth and happiness
And wishing you more
Than I’ll ever wish for myself !!

The Right Choice?
Today I was informed that things did not look good for my son. He is a high school freshman and this is his first time playing organized football. The season is almost over (THANK GOODNESS….lol). Well, most Friday nights he works as water boy/motivator/equipment carrier for the Varsity team. I think this is great for him. He has a lot of interaction with his teammates and creates a good balance, morale and sense of pride in his sports world. However, there have been a couple of times when he had other obligations (Gye-Nyame). When I mentioned that he had to work tonight for his tribe I was told that “..things don’t look good for him if he continues not to be there when needed. If he’s going to be part of the team he needs to be there.” I stated that we were not aware that being water boy was a prerequisite of playing football and when I said that he worked at the beginning of the season I was told that it was fine as long as the team was given notice. My statement was followed up with a statement to the effect of him being kept as one of the guys for this final part of the season and how he was needed. It’s not about being water boy it’s about helping out the team. I was also told to do what I have to do it was my choice. I was quite taken aback by this. He works hard, is always at practice, supports his teammates, respects everyone around him & is dedicated.
Maybe I don’t understand or maybe I’m misinterpreting what I was told. I get the impression that he has to choose between supporting a sport where the Varsity team does not show up to his Freshman JV games to support him, has the risk of injury & he could be cut from at anytime or supporting a family that will give him a lifetime of skill sets and stability. I felt a little disrespected. As if his choice for “Self-Mastery is not as important as “FOOTBALL.” Not only that but they “NEED” him not because he was chosen special, but because several of his teammates were kicked off the team because they failed to come to practice.
Supporting the team can be done in several ways. For instance when he works at the Fatherhood Town Hall Meeting tonight he will pass out flyers promoting his schools First Annual Holiday Bizarre. It is disturbing to ones self value when they are only valued for what people can comprehend as significant to their immediate person or affiliated group. That is how society is sometimes. Shamar is a “behind the scenes” type of young man. He always has been that type of person. Like me, he does not need to be seen doing something to know how valuable it is to someone. Even when they were little I have always stressed to my sons the importance of following through with whatever they start, give your all, 100%, yada..yada..yada..yada!! However, when that thing does not put you first, you have to choose what’s more important. Or I have to choose their self worth. ; ) I maintain my position as a mother that you owe it to yourself to make you happy and that as a man you reward comes from within first and foremost!!

Inspiration....
I was inspired this weekend to begin writting a poem. I have written poems since I was young unfortunately events in my life didn't arouse me anymore like they do most poets. Instead I ALLOWED them to hinder me from clearly expressing myself. Combinations of moments & encounters with Anthony, Billy, Gye-Nayme family, Jahanni, Jessica, Shalil, Shamar (& therapy...LOL) have inspired me to remove the partition that was keeping me from m
yself. When Billy visited this weekend, he left his green & white American Eagle button up. We always leave each other an article of clothing when we visit. It pacifies our senses while we are apart. However, along with the white ribbed A-Shirt, the button up, was left accidentally. As I wore it around the house Tuesday afternoon, it turned out to be my breakthrough object!! : )
