Unanswered Prayers

Unanswered Prayers

I grew up listening to a lot of country music. All genres really because my Father was a Singer and Musician and well Ginny loved country music. CMT was on the top of the cable guide in NY all DAY and well the television in the kitchen had the front of the building playing all day and my Mother had the guide on in their room while she tried to sleep. Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, and my FAVORITE Garth Brooks! Back before they were stars I discovered them through Mommy. The Dance, The Thunder Rolls, and Unanswered Prayers....

Throughout my life music has been a way for me to express myself. Even my beloved Lizzo because Ebadeb MADE ME FEEL TRUTH HURTS-literally, figuratively and spiritually...Kim's fucking ANTHEM(PLAY IT LOUDER FOR THE BITCHES IN THE BACK).when Daddy died and Mommy was staying here we sang our hearts out-Always and Forever, Native New Yorker, Hello, Private Dancer, Careless Whispers, My Life, and his all time favorite-Street Life.....

When my Mother died and I was pregnant I couldn't of imagined that I would not only survive but thrive! 2020 Kim is so NOT who I used to be.NOT that who I was by in no means a bad person. I was just a perfectionist and people pleaser.  When Toni Morrison my idol, shero and role model transitioned although her impeccable body of work and accolades were of course lauded yet the defining moments in her life were her children, her ability to overcome adversity and her time at Random House.

I went to a Verizon event a few weeks ago. I took Shirelle because thats my best friend and she can HEAR. It was for Kim who I love dearly and her story to her glory on soooo many levels is OUR testimony. I NEVER go anywhere where I don't have to be on point because I ALWAYS HAVE MY BABY AS I SHOULD-well lets just say I had a great time even though besides KIM, Georgina, Dawnie and Shirelle with me in the photo booth AND the photographers ain't nobody post no pictures of ME even though I took a bunch and had on the black dress that me and Auntie have the same one you know the one that my butt sit in like a swing(im hilarious) I digress-Verizon is my Random House apart of my legacy and a closed chapter. I ain't missing nothing.....

Sometimes in our quest for acceptance and love we tolerate things that we shouldn't. We stay too long, yearn for what we know isn't healthy and just give people too much power in our lives. My Mother always taught me to keep a roof over my head with my kids by ANY means, don't overstay my welcome and don't be a FOOL for ANYONE. That goes for family and friends too. Kenya isn't a good friend to Cynthia or anyone on RHOA. I aint giving her a pass because of how she was raised either. She's beautiful on the outside but inside shes wicked.

I had to heal in order to grow. I was disappointed for so long because of some of the people that failed me yet this was His Plan. I am an Autism Mom and that designation is not for the faint of heart. I am not MAD at anyone. I don't ramble on about my lot in life because it ain't gonna change anything. I'm KIM I'm always gonna be alright because My God is a Waymaker and I'm Gwendolyn's Daughter, Audrey's Goddaughter and Ronald's Twin(Moving Right Along)

Kim: "Nana I can't hear you-move your lips more or put the coffee cup down"

Nana:"oh I forgot you can't hear sometimes like my baby on the bus. It's not going to stop anything because your Kim"

If NOTHING else I say resonates with you remember this: have your kids around people that see the BEST IN YOU AND THEM

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
And just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts, are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers-Garth Brooks #thethunderrolls #idonotowntherightstothismusic

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

South Side we OUTSIDE

 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
