Choosing What's Right
They say honest people finish last, but to who much is given much is required. When you are in possession of something special, it is for you to use those things in a responsible manner. I could just as easily play games and play with someone's emotions, but what will that accomplish? Karma is real. I better understand why there are so many women that face domestic violence.
I am a woman and I do not believe in hitting a woman. I also think it is for us as women to grow up and act responsibly. Some men have probably had domestic violence issues, but we also must accept responsibility for our part in this as well. You do not play with a person's emotions, just because you can. I am probably one of the most fair people I know.
I will not say that life is easy or that doing whats right is easy, but it is in acting honestly that you grow. Many of us go through things that make life uncomfortable. I can recall many days I would sit and ponder ways to make life easier, by doing wrong to others. This is how I can rightly judge situations, because I have been that person too.
Something within us must change, for us to strive to be, do and have better in life. Always weigh your options. Taking to higher road might not be easier, but I guarantee karma will not bite you on the ass as hard.
In the meantime, get your mind right!

The eyes are the window to the soul
HiI look into the eyes of others and see the condition of their soul or the spirit that has overtaken them. Many times it's not the human being or their soul that does wrong, it is an unclean spirit that has overtaken them. Their are many spirits, but the holy Spirit is the best one to be filled with.
It is written we wrestle not with flesh and blood but principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness. It is for us to be aware and mindful at all times. If you know you are starting to think out of your normal patterns, be attentive to your environment. Often, it is someone in your close proximity that is directing negative thought towards you or possibly their thoughts of themselves.
One does need to get up daily and put on their armor. It protects the mind and makes you aware of your surroundings. It is kind of like the armor the knights once wore, except it's armor for mind and soul. It also protects the body from sickness. When you walk in a newness of mind, your Spiritual life and gifts are increased. You then at this time take the opportunity to learn something from all Experiences.
Seek good over evil. It's not necessary to neglect yourself, because you have to eat. You have an obligation to You first and foremost. You can do for everyone in the world and sacrifice and get nothing in return. Don't worry what anyone else thinks because no man or woman can rightly judge you. You can have all the knowledge of God and no man can judge if it is of him. Weight the spirit by the spirit to know if they are of God.
God is Good all the time.
Go read my book, "The Dawn of Resiliency", the extended version. A real eye opener.

Unconditional Love
I realized one day that I had been living a lie my entire life. I had been a heterosexual woman my entire life, only to discover one day I am a lesbian. People have this misconception that lesbians want just anybody. That's the Wrong idea. I am Very Particular!
In meeting this woman named Felicia. It was a professional encounter. I discovered that there was a strong connection and attraction to this person. Honestly, it blew my mind. How could I say this to myself? It's because I always have been a lesbian, since the age of 15. Fact!
However, since coming to San Francisco I will admit many questioned my sexuality, for my being so tenacious. I've always been a sensual lady, while being very versatile and strong. I think some thought I was Butch, but not the case.
I've met a few very handsome guys, some women would kill to have show an interest in them. I on the other hand thought they were handsome, but there was no spark. Merely eye candy.
It was in connecting with this woman, I realized that even though I was in a 16 year relationship and marriage with a man, I had always fantasized about a woman. I have lived a lie for years. No man had ever been able to please me, because it was always a lie.
I told my mother. She said as long as I am happy, that's all that matters to her. If your child comes to you and tells you their gay, a lesbian or trans or bi, that still is your child. Judge not what you don't understand. The ultimate goal is to have your child happy with themselves!
That's unconditional love!

Determination
The word determination means many things to me. It has healed me of pains from the past and helped me focus on the future. You must know what you want and where you are going. You cannot spend your time worrying about what others think, or if they will accept you.
Determination is the childhood I overcame. It is the times I was afraid and abused by my grandfather. The tears I shed because I was vulnerable. It is the taunting of other children because they were not raised right. The jealousy within the family unit, that continued allowing years of abuse.
We each experience life in different ways. It just so happens mine was different than yours. Reflecting back upon the past, is not a means to practice self pity or blame, but to smile at the resilience I possess. I smile at the things that were meant to break me. The people that came into my life and I chose to turn away from them.
We can continue down a path that is not healthy for us or we can follow our hearts. It is ultimately our choice. Determination has made me a better woman. I choose what I want in life. I cannot allow other people to choose for me. I see how I have in past accepted things because others said it is how things should be done. NO MORE!
I often wondered why I saw things so differently than others. I was not like everyone. I was always going against the status quo. I find I have had a history of keeping things real. Doing what was expected was not always in my best interest. I would often rock the boat.
I recall my determination to have nice things in life. I have had and lost , but I have continued to try. I know the life others say I should have, is not acceptable to me. I was born wealthy. I deserve all the best life has to offer. I don't believe poverty makes us better people. That is a form of limitation religion teaches.
I was once a religious zealot, but saw how those thoughts placed limits on my ambition. Determination to achieve greatness, cannot be accomplished with a limited mindset. If you keep an open mind about all things, you will see things from a completely different perspective. Life begins to take on a new form.
Remembering making bad decisions, I am determined to make better ones. Bad choices in relationships has showed me to be more attentive and not disregard the obvious signs seen in the very beginning. I think my desire for love in the past, made me more sustainable to overlook things.
I now see that if a person doesn't help to add to you and encourage you to follow your dreams, they are not for you. It is easy to be with someone that has little ambition and wants you to live a simple and mediocre life. However, if a person truly cares for you they will visualize your dreams with you. That is a real connection.
Determination is my getting over being raped. I remember feeling ashamed. Things take form within your mind, but you must replace these things with positive end encouraging thoughts; to motivate yourself. I am not saying this is easy. You must know you are worthy of better things and heal yourself daily.
Determination to see beauty, where there seems to be darkness and sorrow; is a sign you have been awakened and enlightened. You have the power to overcome anything. Think BIG! It is not for you to allow any circumstances to stop you from reaching for the stars. All things are possible.
Being strong during times of adversity is another form of determination. Will you allow someone else's
interpretation of you to hinder your progress? I recall many strange things happening. People have in past attempted to encourage my direction, I chose to go the opposite way.
I have chosen to be positive and see my future in abundance and prosperity. Your goals change as you begin to see all the possibilities available in life. You must consciously decide to have a better life. It doesn't matter where you came from, only where you desire to go. Why should you care what others think of you?
It cannot and will not change who you are. That is what matters.
That Is DETERMINATION

Life Lessons
In life we experience many things. From personal experience many things I have been exposed to were humiliating and very hurtful, however they also helped me to grow and be true to what I really desire in life. I woke up one day and my mind had opened up so significantly, it was scary. This was actually a good thing. Many years I thought I was stupid, but later discovered I was extremely intelligent. The culture, upbringing, education, experiences and mindset of those I was around or exposed to, shaped my behavior and mindset. Unknown to me once I became acquainted with myself, my perspective started to change.
While I love my family, I had to separate from them. I started to seek a greater purpose in life. Integrity and morals are determined by you the individual. I find many people live their entire life based on the standards others have set for them, later realizing their life has been an entire lie. What makes you happy? It comes from within. Once you get down to the truest form of you, that's when you'll truly be happy.
I hope you have a wonderful day and life. Live it your way!!!!!

While Walking in the Spirit
Go check out my book and get it on Amazon. It's about a woman troubled by her mind. She didn't understand the inherent gifts given to her by God. She suffered from mental illness and didn't realize with all the knowledge that she was completely sane. Technology has evolved from many years ago. If something were not possible, it would not exist. Search for the truth and look beyond what's obvious. If you stand for something you won't fall for anything.

True Love
It was the promise of you
That has restored my soul
Years of being tested
The truth starts to unfold
Remember all that transpired
I overcame my fears
The love I had
It made me shed some tears
My mind my thoughts
They were always with you
The woman I am
I had to thank God it's true
When everyone else saw
Someone in dismay
You saw deep within
Few words left to say
The woman I am
Now is set free
If not for you
I could not have found me

Moment In Time
For the very first time
You have made me feel
What I never had
Then I knew it was real
Without even a thought
I just always knew
From the feelings I had
My heart was with you
Different times in space
Moments frozen in time
The love that I have
Only yours intertwined
Never have a thought
Whether I'll be true
No man alive
Can take the place of you

What is Perfection?
Perfection is Loving
Despite what your mind says
It's not being angry
When things go through your head
It's doing that which
You don't want to do
When your heart says stop
But your mind tells you to
It's not being perfect
When every one else says
That thing ain't right
Do this instead
It's loving a man
One that will love you
It's giving of yourself
When they're not good for you
What is this thing we call Perfection?

Positive Mind
Everything in life ain't what you think
You can serve God
While living your dreams
You don't lose all
And walk through
Life without nothing
It's not the truth
You can drive a Benz
Or life a life of wealth
Giving your all
Abundance and good health
Prosperity comes and will remain
You must obtain balance
Staying in your lane
Open up your mind
To new ideas
Stay Focused on getting
Everything while you're here
You have this life to live
Keeping in your mind
All things positive
It first starts inside

My brother's Keeper
Doctor King
Yes he had the dream
Malcolm X
Assassinated on the scene
Fighting for the rights
Of me and you
Look at us now
Some did remain true
Keep it real
If you claim the call
All for one
One for all
In this day and time
Divided we stand
Help out your brother
Don't just hold out your hand
Power of positive thoughts

Your journey in life
There will be hella tests
The lessons you learn

Always seek to grow
Before you know it
All good things start to show

When all else failed
To thy own self be true
Dreams Come True!
All of Them.... Muah!

Love You
To love you I don't think you know
Your truest self will start to show
Live your life and overcome the tests
Health, wealth and fortune manifest
For what you think
Is not a dream
Things in life not as they seem
Your strength and courage to overcome
From which it derived
The rising sun
No one in life
Will choose your path
It's up to you
Do the math

A gifted soul
To be a young and gifted soul
Be proud of who you are
Your world starts to unfold
You walk through life
Hold your head high
For the things above
They reveal your why
Never be ashamed
Of what you've gone through
If not for those things
You would not be you
