One day at a Time

I’m  going to have to make this quick I have so much to do today. I really am making money moves. I’m solidifying my future. Step by step I have dedicated my time to cultivating my dreams. Greatness has always been in me I just had to come into it on God’s Time.

Everything will turn out just the way it was supposed to be. I have many friends from all walks of life. Social media has allowed me to connect on a human level with so many people. Their joys are my joys and when they experience trials I empathize with them. You never know what someone is going through. It pays to be kind. I spend a lot of time with my kids. So when I’m on social media I talk about what my days are like. Some days are better than others. But I give thanks in all I do.

I haven’t been blogging as much as I should because I have been busy. I have some health concerns and it has propelled me to make serious lifestyle adjustments. I am on a diet. Working with a Nutritionist, partnered with exercise it’s working. I’m making better choices. It’s so hard. Besides when I was pregnant with my sons I did whatever I want. This forty year old home needs remodeling starting with the foundation. I had to change my way of thinking. Starting with overthinking. Stress, negativity and depression are not conducive to a quality way of life. I find myself not wanting to partake in anything that has an iota of negativity attached to it. I’m tired of holding people accountable. Fuck it and fuck you. I don’t have that type of time. We GOOD and I wish you the best from over HERE.

Sometimes you have to go back to basics to remember who you are. My real friends know all my business yet keep no records of rights and wrongs. People live their entire lives conforming for others. Spend money they don’t have to impress people that don’t care. You know what impresses me? Heirlooms, real estate, and art. And accountability. You have to change your mindset. Instead of me whining about what can’t be changed. Wishing I had my old lifestyle with my current knowledge. Instead I desire a greater life than I’ve ever known and all the responsibilities that come with it.  I’m ready.

Traveling, my Journey with my sons and strengthening my brand while finishing my book are on my radar. I’m thankful for my support system. Near and far the motivation is empowering. So dream out loud. Plan, prepare and at times throw caution to the wind. Above all be you, fearlessly and unapologetically. Tune out the noise. And get over it! Whatever it is. Knowing people that have lost their children, parents and WAY shows me that time is a Healer. I know that TIME is one of the most precious commodities we possess. I can’t get my time back but I’m reclaiming it. Time management is the only way to successfully achieve anything.

And give up the notion if you suffer from this that you know everything. Learning new things is rewarding. Everything and everyone ain’t in it for the long haul. Cherish the ones that are. And relax sometimes. Just go with the flow. I laugh a lot now. I stopped laughing for a long time. My baby is one of the most precious people God has every created. I see it in his eyes.

When I was little my Mother used to sing this song with feeling! Her entire mood changed. As a child I loved it and as a woman I get it! I had an amazing weekend! Spend time doing everything and nothing sometimes. Life is great when you count your blessings and not your burdens.

This is it. This is it. 
This is life, the one you get 
So go and have a ball. 

This is it. This is it 
Straight ahead and rest assured 
You can't be sure at all. 

So while you're here enjoy the view 
Keep on doing what you do 
So hold on tight we'll muddle through 
One day at a time, One day at a time. 

So up on your feet. Up on your feet 
Somewhere there's music playing. 
Don't you worry none 
We'll just take it like it comes. 

One day at a time, one day at a time. 
One day at a time, one day at a time. 
One day at a time, one day at a time. 
One day at a time, one day at a time.

Family Ties

When you are an overachiever, successful and KiND you can’t let people drain and drag you down because they can’t RELATE. It will change your personality because you will be on sets and in rooms that you don’t belong in.  Don’t you think I KNOW that if I was docile, submissive, subservient and STUPID what my life would be LIKE? Who I would of become? Where I would of ended up?  Until RECENTLY I HONESTLY was SCARED to TELL my STORY. I STILL wasn’t READY. But being at Auntie S’s beautiful home last Christmas and her pleading with me to WRITE our STORY with her beautiful, clear Doe looking eyes that mirror my Grendmothers I KNEW I had too. Nana used to look at me the SAME way.  Because my Uncle Sam who has ALWAYS had my BACK throughout my entire life whether it be OVERJOYED I was SKIPPING a GRADE. Helping  me write my business PLAN, letting me drive his BRAND new CAR for my road test and being the FIRST one in my FAMILY including my parents that I told I was pregnant with DAVID. At Uncle

 As I write but more importantly LIVE I THANK y’all for letting me sit in the front of the bus and listen to music with y’all when I stilll could hear. Papa used to turn the music up real loud for me too on the way to his customers to make his deliveries.  For keeping me in Ms, Goldstein’s class knowing I may have needed a different environment. For coming to my first day of Junior High school (albeit afterschool WHO does that?) For pressing my hair SO GOOD the first day of Martin. For telling me that Brooklyn Tech was a memory (I got waitlisted and didn’t want to go to Summer School to get in because I didn’t want to go there and NANA and GRANNY knew it! ) To not beat myself up over it. (Mommy is STILL MAD in Heaven❤️) To standing outside Martin with Aunt Colette and Mommy because the girls didn’t like me but the boys did!  The most important lesson I learned was to put ME FIRST! NANA you loved us ALL independently and individually. You made sure we had toiletries, pens to do homework

 I haven’t been bothering ANYONE I stay to myself and take care of my child and my business! I saw two GORGEOUS apartments in NY that wasn’t the right fit for JJ and I. With Aunt Colette and Ms. May because no matter WHAT they have going ON they GOT me! So in ONE WEEK I have set in place the steps to for THE FIRST TIME in my LIFE do exactly WTF I WANNA do! It’s so LIBERATING!  I’m not letting NOBODY stress me OUT! Y’all can HAVE that! I’m JJ’s EVERYTHING! I’m such a GOOD MOTHER! BOTH TIMES! I ask GOD EVERY day to give me the strength to keep moving! Y’all don’t KNOW what I go through!  I don’t care WHO TALK about ME!  I don’t CARE! I always did! I always respect people that don’t respect me! I love who I LOVE! SO! I LISTEN and act RIGHT too! I co-sign on EVERYTHING y’all do! I give the fresh perspective, advice when solicited because WHO AM I TO JUDGE!  I’m so HAPPY and PROUD of myself! My Sister and I are a TAG TEAM! My FAMILY is AMAZING and Nana and Pop Pop didn’t CARE if anyone thou
