As Sweet As Can Be

The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instructions. Gracious words are a honeycomb , sweet to the soul and healing for the bones. Proverbs 16:23-24

That day she decided to place a little sugar in her cup
She was both sassy and sweet
Strong and weak
As all human beings
She didn't have to respond to negative
She could only be responsible for her actions
She didn't have to try to understand their view
That would only allow excuses and give way for further abuse
Nope
All she had to do was place sugar in her cup
And continue her own healthy and positive thoughts
She didn't have to retaliate with words
Even if she was highly skilled with adjectives and verbs
She didn't need to take the stairs down for another to hear or see
She could just continue sitting as cute as can be
While adding more love or sugar to things
She could just simply do and perform as she was used to
Happy and pleasant
And it didn't matter if the individual could see it
All that mattered was that she was peaceful and free
And she didn't have to raise her voice to get the person to see
All she needed was a little more sugar in her cup
Say her words
Nice enough and direct
Walk away and continue singing, dancing and sipping.
Or just remain sitting and sipping quietly on the steps.

The Frog Will Play Dead

The frog will play dead
You best believe it
He will try to manipulate and control your heart and thoughts
He will try to play games of deception
Will even try to play on your compassion
Here is the way that he can only remain
Because truth be told sisters, it's all one big game
He only desires to use for his purposes
Whether you stable than him
Whether you have a car
Whether you have potential and traveling far
He only desires to stay and be connected
He should just perform love
But theives and robbers form other objectives
The agenda is to steal your heart
And throw away the key
You will be so bound by this deception
Thoughts and thoughts and trying hard will be your thing
And that is how he shall win
By preying on your heart and your emotions
For that will help to create the bond
The longer you stay
The more you can't move on
The longer you stay
The more you get lost
The more you get diverted in purpose and plans
The better he becomes -" The Man!"

He is a child looking for a helping hand through life
His only desires are to gain you to help him excel in life
So pay attention
And dear
Listen closely....

If who you are yoked too
Can never get to point A
To Z or better yet B
Then know it is because you have some travelers who don't share the same heart and mind and agenda as you

Sure, they speak well
All great plans about future and stuff
The more you stay
You then become down on your luck

It's who you tied to
Learn the lesson
Grow and then move.

Time for the new- 2016

On The Path

On the path

There are storms, conflicts and evils

Some breeded on command

Some indebted in the hearts of men

Some just has to happen

Preparation for future wise encounters- I say!

Preparation to ensure proper direction

For one who has stayed in the home of trouble

They reach towards a home of peace

If in fact that soul can now discover and see

True life and appreciate his own soul, progression and being

One who has thrived in pain

Soon comes to a valley of beauty

They vow to never partake in unnecessary conflicts again

One who has slept in distress

Soon travels to locations free of mess

They ate from that tree to now know accurately that their lives cannot continue that path

They rather pursue good and noble purposes

So soul, mind and heart can last

So we gather

That every one of our present and future encounters

Is merely building and defining the further beauty and character of mankind

Just takes the reserve and will to decide on which roads

Not many shall discover

but we know

That since life began

fools have always perished

From not carefully following pure and wellfull instructions

Generations often repeat defeat

Cycles turn and may very well pursue you

I've discovered

It takes a forever learning and moldable being

One walking aligned with Christ

To decide to learn enough to then do differently

May each of our paths provide us happiness, joy, peace and wellness

I am my brother and sisters keeper

Peace. Love. Live. Learn

Perhaps

Perhaps she sees beauty in life
Perhaps she understands more
Perhaps she appreciates the simpler things
Perhaps she holds Hope close
Perhaps she uderstands it's needed for the road
Perhaps she is full of faith
That each day brings new development and news
Perhaps she is simply content
With the fact and knowledge
That life breathes upon her
Wisdom visits her
Hope develops her
Peace instilled within her
Eyes stay close to all that matters
And for certainly with this everyday practice
Comes new lungs and breathe
New hope and the fine appreciation of a beautiful and wonderful day
Perhaps!
She Sees!

Live. Love. Learn 2016

HE is...

Saw this picture with its vibrant colors and thought... Yes, this is nice! Later came exactly what my mind would think of for what I wanted to express.

Each color represents so many dimensions in life.  From pain, courage, hope, faith, love, learning, growing,  forgiving...etc. I will just stop there because truly the list can go on for days.

And then I thought about how GOD shapes all those colors together for HIS purpose in mind. HE brings us from the negative zone into the correct and positive zone.

HE brings us from our act of forgiving others-  gifts of beauty. Our gifts become a perfect and moldable heart that HE can use and do beautiful things to. And who knew, it even includes our healing.

Our pain, HE turns into victory.  We hand HIM pain in the form of our prayers and releasing all our heart to HIM over that thing and Bang! Suddenly comes a day where for our pain- HE hands us beauty. That beauty comes in so many different forms. Lessons learned, wisdom, change, hope and sometimes HE even has a few folks pay dearly for their wickedness committed on us.
There's beauty- vindication but from the LORD's hands. And the greatest thing is sometimes we can help another out who is experiencing similar on their road.

I could go on for days off of the many things that HE does but check out the picture once more!!

Once all the colors blend...it forms a rainbow of colors.  And I don't know about you but rainbows signify promises!!!

So there! HE creating something.  HE up to something.  HE forming something. And best believe when HE is done....possibly our promises given comes!

I love it ! 💫

Profession tied to Passion

Well, it's true!

What do you love to do?
What's the thing that you would even do for free?

Because your heart is so committed- it's almost identical to you.

For the painter- it's his passion and often his pain.
He will work all night and day just to create.
And may don't even make a dime for the detailed painting
So what's in it for him?
Why does he do the thing so vigorously and hard?
Because it's connected to him

It's a way that he heals
Painting allows him to speak
It displays all that he is and think
It's an one of a kind
It captures and details his heart and mind
It states- I was here!
I was born in this world for this thing here
It states here is how I operate and behave

And let's say a day came where he finally gained his 1st customer
Well, that would be his happiest day
Even if for his work he just received a penny that day
Passion is tied to profession

Take the woman who desires to help others out and encourage
She spent her life prior to that day developing
She learned valuable lessons and gained priceless inspiration from ABOVE
Now she gets on a mission of spreading that love
She remembers herself
Remember her prior location
She remembers that she needed Christ's guidance and friendship
Heck, she still do
And behind that
Is why she do what she do

She receives no true monetary value for her labor
The reward for her is that another soul elevates and be better
She is her most happiest then
And she counts all forgotten
Even if she had to gain scars to help another win

Heyyyy
She remember her own life
So she writes and motivates
Spends time and energy to plan things accordingly
Many late nights and early mornings
Just to hope one can be better one day and see

But it's all worth it
Because as I stated before

Profession is often times tied closely with passion

And having passion so strong
May very well never leave you alone
It can cause great pain and even suffering
But....
On that one day of joy
Everything prior will appear almost like nothing

Because the two coincide
And profession is tied to passion
So as always with everything
She keeps hope, faith and love strong
So tomorrow she can continue on!

The splashes and beauty of life
Hope. Faith. Love

Well..Guess What I did today?

I finally went back to my unedited book. I finally finished one of my short stories.

For a minute-  I couldn't write or go back to the book. I even started thinking and making moves towards the new book I am making.

But with the move on - it still felt like I was leaving my hard work behind. Like I was abandoning it somehow. It holds such significant meaning in my life. It documents a few of my own struggles throughout life. It has my funny side also in it. It details my best friend who died recently. It has so much character, love,  hope and joy that it was going to be a great disappointment for me if I couldn't complete it.

Now thinking back- I believe since so much of the book documents my life in the folds,  maybe that was why I had to pause on it.

Well anyway, today I completed a section.

Stay tuned for - Life, Trials & Love.

Tomorrow I will complete a little more too. Determined!

I had to jazz it up a bit and add some R& B tunes to the mix to get going. Stevie Wonder station on Pandora. Worked wonders today!!!

It's A Beautiful New Day

Nothing compares to the absolute beauty in and of life.

A new day to appreciate lessons from the past
A new day to change and perform better
A new day of creating memories and experiences
A new day of laughter and love
A new day to develop
A new day to commit to different practices both worthwhile and great
A new day to thoroughly appreciate everything on your plate
A new day to love
A new day to practice patience
A new to forgive
A new day to let go
A new day of hope
A new day of favor
A new day of grace
A new day to recover from your falls or mistakes
A new day to adjust your mind
A new day to change your thoughts or heart
A new day to heal
A new day to breath and learn to be still
A new day awaits
A new day of humbleness
A new day of victory
A new day to listen
A new day to take hold of wisdom
A new day to try new things and learn
A new day is born
A new day represents all of these things

I am just grateful to be apart of the new day! Hopefully you are too.

Live.Love.Learn- 2016

Generational Love
