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

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...

Imitation of Life

  I read that when you feel stressed out you should plan a vacation. My good friend who supported me throughout the years in many ways invited me to celebrate her birthday with her. I’m really excited because she’s amazing and a true BOSS and we are going to have a TIME.  I am making monumental strides in life. I’m Moving Right Along like my Father taught me. Early this morning my Aunt Darlene’s post about my Mothers favorite song “I wanna Thank You” (Heavenly Father) by Alicia Meyers. It’s Michael B. Jordan’s favorite song too. He said it in Vogue’s 73 Questions.  Just seeing my Mothers Name and the fact that this was her song brought so many memories back. This world is beyond ridiculous now. Like my heart hurts but I cannot let it break. So I’m living each day on purpose in my truest form. Self care is not selfish it’s a necessity. We watch reality tv and come on. All that money. It doesn’t buy happiness but it alleviates so many problems. So choose peace every day. An...
