And all that jazz

funny how...

We hear people speak and boast of supporting, helping one another, and all that jazz.

When you ask questions,  try to grow,  or are assisting others grow and just need a bit of info...crickets. I have gotten,  I will get back,  I haven't forgotten,  I am on it, I know I owe you... countless reasons as to why I will never get paid or an answer. Some will provide answers that are so vague,  I should have just goggled it.

Since becoming an entrepreneur,  I have lost hundreds supporting other small business. Yes, lost... some never shipped packages, some right out have stolen from me,  some have taken funds allocated for other things and just kept it!

I say all of that to say,  I know how not to treat other entrepreneurs.  Small business remains small JUST because of the lack!  Lack of trust, lack of desire to share,  lack of truth, lack of overall willingness to grow others along your own growth path.  Trust me, on our journey it wont kill us to give a glass of water from our own bottomless supply.

I will always support other small businesses.  I want to grow!  I desire all that is for me from HIM. Keep your fists tightly clinched with the small blessings/gifts...its hard to grab more in that position.

I will continue to support small business

Here'...s how, there is but 1 step :
1.) Speak LIFE into everything that you do and encounter!!!

Implausible

Christians wishing ill will...?

As a Christian, we are taught to turn the other cheek. It is understood that we forgive others...7 times what...? That is Christianity. We are also flesh. It can be difficult to turn that cheek or want to be forgiving when others are not disrespectful, disrespecting, potentially damaging and disrupting seeds that you have so lovingly sown. 
It can be difficult to not "want something" to happen to those demon spawns who bring ill will to you. Sometimes they know, sometimes they don't...
I will continue to do the right thing. I will continue to turn the other cheek I am a Christian! I am also flesh...I can't promise I won't step out of myself to get with you for just a minute...I am flesh...

Pangs

The loss of someone who you love can be devastating! It has been known to decay relationships, cause family hostilities, and can even cause your demise. That loss can turn your world(s) upside down! The depression and stress that eats you up inside can and will eradicate you, if you allow it to. One of the most hollow feelings of loss is the loss of a loved one who is still here. 

When you have lost someone to addiction, the streets, your children to their friends, your spouse to darkness, your sister to gossip and lies, your cousin to hatred and misunderstanding…the list of what can be lost is endless! I don’t discount the pain of death, not by far! I am only stating the hard to swallow truth that the loss of someone that you can still physically see, is a pain that seems to have no end. In that moment, there are no words for those who have lost. Being sorry, doesn’t fix it, condolences don’t ease the pain, I’m praying for you doesn’t really help…in that moment. A loss is a loss…where do we go from here?

The pain of loss can seem agonizing at times. Remember that GOD doesn’t give us more than we can bear.

getting emptied

You may never know that the person you love, the one who always makes you laugh, there for you to lean on, picking up the phone, being there for you and so many others...may be battling depression! Why don't you try to pour into others who give you so much of them. Depression is a beast! So when you think about it, this kind and loving friend/sibling/coworker has , their problems, their children, their family, their careers, their losses, the issues of their circle...now your problems on them. They may never say it is overwhelming, because they may not realize until its too late that they were emptied and no one ever thought enough to simply pour a moment back into them...lets do better by those who are good to us...

Give

Sometimes, it is really ok to do something that you do not financially gain from! It really is! There are times where in order to walk in your purpose...you will need to...yall ready...? There are times where in order to walk in your purpose...you will need to...give...yep! I said it...give...

How in the world are you able to receive your blessings, when you are too busy holding back someone else?!?!?I am not saying to go and give all away and now you are unable to pay bills, lights get cut off…you in the streets! Don’t be foolish! GOD does give us that thing called free will for a reason. All I am saying it…you will not be blessed with a clinched fist. You cannot hold on to every little thing, being greedy, especially when it won’t hurt you to give and expect to see blessing come your way! People pray all day for things, we all do! Then there is that moment when “all of a sudden”…someone comes our way with the exact thing that we needed! Do you really think that is by chance? I don’t! I think my GOD hears my prayers and uses us to make it happen! We have to come out of our pride/greed/feelings long enough to be able to give…and receive! 

,not that you deserve it

Sometimes people are nice because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people are respectful because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people are faithful because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people show common courtesy  because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people are nice because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people are pleasant because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Sometimes people are polite because that is who they are, not that you deserve it.
Please understand..just because I am all of these things does NOT mean that I know no other way. Some people make a conscious and that not so easy to take "high road" because that is who THEY are...not because you deserve any of it.
It isn't always easy to show the world your smile, when you have been wronged. Trust me...though they may be taking the high road, you have probably been punched in the face in their minds...now they have to go home and pray because they allowed you to take them to that dark place....

I will say it again

I have said it once or five times…I will say it again…The devil only messes with what he misses.

That lil devil must go to GOD to ask to even mess with you!

Sometimes life will hurt you! Sometimes life will make you want to…just give up!

You were not placed here to give up!

If things seem to be tough…life seems to suck…thank GOD!

Thank GOD simply because you are on the Righteous path!

The devil will reward you when you do his works…so, if you are “catchin hell”, it is only because you are no longer living in it!

Because you see smile

Just because you see smile, doesn't mean I know no trials
I am neighbors with alcoholism
I am cousins to drug addiction
I am friends with heart disease
I am siblings with cancer
I am kin to disability
I am associates with obesity
I am related to divorce
I am in social circles with abusers
I am family with pain
I am interrelated to death
I am interconnected with darkness
I am acquaintance with abhorrence
Just because you see me with all smiles, doesn't mean my life knows no trials
We all have a story, a past, a dark memory. We also all have a choice! We can choose to live life in darkness and despair or we can choose life! Smile...simply because you can!

Dont settle for "simUlar"

hey...I hear the word simUlar a lot! This is not a real word, however...since it is so popular I have decided to give it a definition! Yayyy!!! (lol)

This word is not to be confused with

similar : having a likeness or resemblance, especially in a general way they are very similar...with a slight difference...U

 

SimUlar : Not a match but close enough that it looks good

 

Some of us find ourselves in something simUlar to a relationship. This is fine, if it works for you.

Do what you want and what you will...but you know in your heart that "simUlar" is similar to psyching yourself out.

Get the real thing, go for the real thing, work for the real thing...because "simUlar" is far too much work for something that isnt real.

#justmyramblings #justmytakeonthematter #yallknowthistobetrue

It takes work

What it takes to get them...it takes at least to keep them! Please know this! Once the newness of the infatuation wears or the “we no longer have to sneak" to be together is there...what then? When the luster of lust wears…what then? When the shine of showing one another is gone…what then? When glint is beginning to dull…what then?

What happens when the children come? What happens when life sets in? When the monotony of life has taken sheen of the relationship to that worn and aged appearance…what then?!?!?!?

Please know that whatever you did to get that person…it will take AT LEAST that to keep them! We have to stay excited about the person that we want to love for the rest of our lives!

We come home, life is on auto pilot, that is fine to a certain extent! You want to come home and expect your mate to be happy that you are there? LMBO!!! No, that is not how it works! You cannot show up to your job and not work…trust me, you will not get that paycheck and you will eventually be replaced or downsized. No one in any relationship wants to feel as though they are insignificant…they can get that feeling at their 40gig…

You don’t have to necessarily wine and dine each night, but you HAVE to remind your mate of the reasons that you got together! You must remind them that they matter. You are obligated as the one who proposed or said yes to the proposal to be appreciative. We all need to feel valuable in our relationships! The loneliest one can be in when they are alone with a mate. Just remember that appreciation and consideration goes a long way.

Priceless Art

There are many priceless  works of art that are framed and protected in museums .

Yet some call the Mona Lisa the picture of the lady with no eyebrows.

The Scream can be defined by the screaming bald image on a wood bridge.

The Dora Maar with Cat has been called the witch with 2 faces.

The Starry Night has been described as the swirly picture by the guy who cut his ear off.

All of these paintings are priceless and have been called far less than they deserve. Much like people describe one another. It isn't important what others call you, that is not your business. Your reaction to their ignorance and lack of true knowledge is all that really matters.

 

You can call me out of my name, but I will remain priceless and never get out of the frame

#JustMyRamblings #JustMyTakeOnTheMatter

We never know

We never know what one is going through...

We may never know the full story or even part of the story of the one that you speak ill of. Just know that if you have not yet gone through yours, be patient...its coming. We all go through something. Some of it, we cause, others cause, or it is simply our time to be humbled. 

I am actually laughing. I love that I can be the face of grace while going through hell.

Unsolicited

*Unsolicited : given or supplied without being requested or asked for
*opinion: a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty
*advice : an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc.

Unsolicited opinion and advice...
Until you know with certainty what one is going through, it is best to keep the unsolicited opinions and advice to o...ne's self. I am not saying we should not be there for others. You can be there and not be obnoxiously vocal and opinioned on a life
that you have never lived.
We may not know what one has been "put through" but only the stories that we hear. We may not have seen the abuse, but only the scars. Without knowing the history behind the actions/scars...it is virtually impossible to know what we would do.
Unless we know their lives, where they were (spiritually) at that time, how they were being treated, the relationship and feelings behind that bond or lack thereof, the abuse they had to bear, the deceit they had to endure...just to name a few things that again, we are clueless to. Until we know with certainty all of this can we have some kind of sincere opinion as to what we may think they should do. Still, unless solicited...it is not a great idea to blurt our opinions or to try and "fix" anything.
Walking in others shoes can look so easy, until we actually try them on for size...

HE will allow him

HE will allow him to "mess" with us! You have free will...what will you do with it, when the tempter arrives? 
As Docta G Davis says "Lets Be Clear..."
A lot of times we oh Thank GOD...yes, give HIM thanks! Give HIM thanks through it all, for it all, to it all....Give thanks to HIM!!!! YESSSS!!!! On the flip side, you think that HE is causing the turmoil that you are going through? Lol...I think not. The devil has to get permission to "mess with you"...wake up...and as Millie Lee-SuccessCoach would say ..."Comone Sombody?!??!?!?"

I am a punk

To you, I may be a “punk”

To me…I am particular

I don’t particularly like quarrelling about things that can’t be changed

I don’t particularly like disagreeing about things that won’t change

I don’t particularly like being in opposition about plans changing

I don’t particularly like being in conflict when things don’t go my way

I don’t particularly like disputing about the trivial things

To you, I may be a punk. That is fine…I will take that.

This “punk” prays

This “punk” asked for discernment

This “punk” lives in peace

This “punk” lives a life unoccupied with drama

This “punk” is truly happy….

Does it ever strike you as odd...?

Does it ever strike you as odd that there are people who support you #100…when you give your product or services to them? 

Does it ever strike you odd that when you ask those same people to do something for you that only costs time, they won’t?

Does it ever strike you odd that when they need, you are there but when you need they aren't?

Does it ever strike you odd that when they say they will be there, they aren't but expect you to be there for them and early?

Does it ever strike you odd that people will offer just for the sake of offering, but when you accept they lessen the offer?

Does it ever strike you odd that when you treat them as they have treated you…they are upset by your actions?

Does it ever strike you odd that those people tend to make one feel as though “the first time I say no, it’s like I never said yes”?

Well then, this this people like you have but one question to people like those. Does it ever strike you odd that I get tired of being the odd one out?

Get people like that out of your life! Run fast and far! Leaches of life will suck the life out of you! Once you see that people are only in a relationship with you (of any kind) to use you…get out! I for one know that I was not placed on this earth to be the footstool for anyone! Once this is learned and embraced, better and wiser choices can be made

What an artist...

You have turned out to be quite the artist! I love the layers, hues, use of manipulation! The contrasts are remarkable! The way you place and use the mediums is astonishing! The structure and use of color…Oh, how it brings it all to life! The symmetry and lines used, creating such truth to the work! You are absolutely inconceivable! What a gift you have been given. I have never met an artist of your caliber. 

I can only imagine the greatness that is in you, should you apply this endowment to not being a con…artist

Your check is in the mail

For the "your check is in the mail" kind of people, like people...addresses change. It is unfortunate that for some things never do and never will. Changing your position and state of mind when people owe you is essential to living at peace. If you can't afford to lose it, don't loan it. For the borrower, if you know you won't be able to pay it back, simply ask to have it. In doing this, relationships are saved because honesty existed and the proper expectation was set. We can't continue to do wrong and expect great things to return us. I have said it before and will again, if you are "the check is in the mail" person in my life...I have written that off. There is no need in pretending. We are still cool, I don't hold things like that against people. Moving forward. .. I just know

This world of ours...?

The level of disrespect among people these days is intolerable! None of us are perfect and we all have done things that we may not be extremely proud of…I get that. What I don’t get is how people turn into monsters!

We live in a world where people just approach others on the streets and attack them.

We live in a world where people just beat children.

We live in a world where people just beat up the elder

We live in a world where our children cuss in front of our elders.

We live in a world where people no longer get up for our elders to be seated.

We live in a world where people take advantage of others because they can.

We live in a world where people just hate.

We live in a world where people just disrespect you because they are carrying a weapon.

We live in a world where people have weapons to terrorize not defend themselves.

We live in a world where people just don’t care!

We live in a world where we cannot truly live….
