Year 7

Year 7

Aunt Colette  bought JJ a Scooter because he wants a hover board. If he masters the scooter(which he will) he will get a hover board. (If his Father says it’s OK) 

She taught Daenerys how to use the hover board even though Uncle Sam and I wasn’t with it at first 🤣 although Aunt Darlene was OK with it. That was the day that she helped me with JJ when we were on the beach (because Aunt Colette  and Kaiden were with Nery with the hover board) and JJ was being JJ. 

Dorinda, Fred, Alix and Mando wasn’t there, David and Carlton hadn’t arrived yet and Uncle James was cooking that good ass food. 

My Grandparents home was the ONE place I could be MYSELF. We could bring ANYONE over there with US (ALL the August Martin “CUTTERS”) went there as long as we pulled up around 1 so we could EAT before One Life to Live came on(the Todd and Marty era) 

My Mother ironically spent more time over there than Daddy did. Even when they weren’t together we went over there. When Nana died my Mother took it HARD. Granny passed away first and Nana was there for Mommy even if it was just in Unity there’s strength(CWA Local 1105 motto 💪🏾) 

Mommy-God knows I love my CHILDREN like you loved YOURS! Oh GOD how you were and always will BE the epitome of a beautiful, BLACK woman. You took so much PRIDE in being BLACK! And independent! And loving us both individually. You poured EVERYTHING into US and showed me how to LOVE. Period. You wanted me to be a Border Police Agent soo bad! Go to Texas to train y’all would watch David and I would be running the government in 5 years. YOU were so happy when I got that job at the phone company! The PERFECT fit! 

Nana told me I would be Mayor of NY by the time I was 40 if I would just run for office when she was still NANA. I asked her why she ain’t make me act right in high school. She said I was too uptight and a perfectionist and it was all good. I would look back on those years later and not care. And I don’t. Both of y’all only cared about who cared about y’all. End of story. 

As your birthday approaches and then your Heavenly ascension day so soon after comes this year I’m celebrating the fact that I am here because of you! I thank you for showing us that love can build a bridge! Your song- them Judd’s! I love you Ginny. Thank you for being my Mother and my role model. And picking my Daddy because without him there would be no THEM #OTF

  Healing comes in many forms. I can only speak for myself but setting firm boundaries and choosing not to engage works wonders. I literally see people’s names and recoil.  I always was making the effort. I’m not begging nobody to be in my life. I didn’t do nothing to nobody. JJ requires so MUCH of me. It’s funny because I realized just how much people don’t give AF when I stopped giving AF. I don’t CARE. If I NEVER spoke to some people again in LIFE  I will NEVER give AF. I laugh because life is so much easier without other people sh*t wearing you down. MAD out of NOWHERE. Creating FAKE conflict. Acting like yall not worried about ME but watch EVERYTHING I DO!  I raised a whole human being before I was forty. It was good and bad times but at least I can say I was present and didn’t give up. I tell a lot of jokes but I sleep good ever night behind my kids. I do. Can’t nobody make me feel BAD. Some of yall wanna dress like me, have my bubbly personality. Overcome adve...

Family Ties

Family Ties I just want to take the time to acknowledge everyone in my life that makes it wonderful. I have really been having a great summer full of love, laughter and wonderful moments. I have learned to get out of my own way. To live in the moment. I’ve realized that the behavior of others is just that theirs and their lot in life and has NOTHING to do with me. My children and our happiness is the only thing on my radar. David is GROWN with his own beliefs, opinions and mind. I can guide him but he is free to make his own choices. Jermaine is a child and although not immune by ANY means from the cruelty and malicious things that people and this world may serve up  I’m his Mommy, Advocate and Bodyguard. I try to keep this in mind at all times especially when the “Old Kim” that can make you CRY resurfaces. My children are my Kryptonite and people know that. It must be a very DARK place to exist in when you go THERE. I could to but I like who I see in the mirror everyday. I l...

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 wi...
