Someone

PSSSSTTTT..... PASSS THIS ON!!!!!!

Everyone is fighting a battle. Someone is battling depression. Someone is battling health issues. Someone is fighting for their life after feeling so hopeless that they tried to end it all. Someone is battling missing someone so much that their heart literally feels as if it's being torn to pieces. Someone is fighting to simply exist in the moment. You know them, you see them as you walk through your day. Everybody is that someone and they just need your smile to let them know its going to be okay. Take a second to give someone a little hope right now. Be it a smile...a hug...a call...an email...a text..take that one second to let them know it's all going to work out. Let them know they are important enough to keep fighting. It will help you too, to know your own fight is not in vain. If no one has told you yet.... Let me say it....It's all going to be alright. Hold on, keep fighting, someone loves you, is rooting for you to overcome and come out as the victor in your battle!  ~RHD~ #PositivelyYou #RHD

Just a Thought

As I walked through my life these past couple of months I had to realize the things I had to let go and the things that I should keep in my life. I have had to remove myself from the lives of many and place my self in the lives of others. I often wondered what was the deal with those I had to let go, but then I realized that nothing is really forever except eternal life with God.

Just a Thought.....

Not Every

Not every police officer is a killer that gets paid after shooting an unarmed man. Don't teach your young men to hate police officers or authority and train them not to give them a reason to bring hatred against them. That's not to say that any of those killed out of hatred brought it on themselves, we know they surely didn't deserve to be killed in such savage ways. It's just to say to be mindful of the stereotypes that our young black men are being put in and don't put every police officer in a stereotype of hate.

Education Matters

Make sure you are loving your children. Be a constant force during their education. Don't focus so much on the "grade" more than you focus on the Knowledge and Understanding.  Be sure to work with your child on his/her schoolwork and make sure you are teaching them at home what they can't and won't cover in school. Show the teachers you are there to work with them and not against them to bring the best out of your child. To all the students and teachers have a successful school year!

Everybody's Trying

Everybody's trying to be something they are not. Folks will always try to present rich when they are spiritually poor. Be yourself, stop trying to keep up with those who have a lot but are dead broke in love and care. ~RHD~ #GrownWomenTalks #RHD

Be Careful

Be careful who you allow in your heart,  mind and soul. Not everybody and not everything that you enjoy allows your spirit to grow. Some things harbor deep in you and can take over your body rendering you helpless to any good waiting for you. Be mindful of what you let in and out your spirit physically,  emotionally and spiritually. ~RHD~ #GrownWomenTalks #RHD

Quiet World

Sometimes you have to quiet the world around you and just be in the moment of amazement in your day. Life is as beautiful as you see it.

Be Blessed, Be a Blessing and Be Encouraged

Relationships....

Too many people are trying to live their relationships over the internet for all to see, when they need to be having a relationship behind closed doors in privacy.

Your relationship is your business not everyone else's. People wonder why things are all jacked up at home with their lover, spouse or significant other after sharing all the details with others . They are busy putting on a show for their internet soap opera, than working and being together for their life movie.

There comes a time when you realize that everything that happens at home doesn't need to leave the memories in your heart and be displayed for all to see. 

Privacy in relationships is a good thing. Putting yourselves on display never helps in keeping a relationship true and loving. Take the privacy back in your relationship. Don't allow the five minutes of fame from others to lure you into revealing so much. After all, everyone who claims they want your relationship to work is most likely cheering you on when it fails.

Be Blessed, Be a Blessing, Be Encouraged, but state your words so you can avoid being Misunderstood.

Life Sometimes

Cleansing is essential for growth. While you are fighting the tide and flailing in the water, Stop and relax and ride the wave. Leave the issues in the deep end and walk on the beach with a new mind, body and soul.

Believe You are the Best!

An inner-neediness flows out of wanting to be loved and valued and expecting to find that fulfillment in people, things and work.

It is important to be grounded spiritually, aurally in order to remove that need for the things you should ultimately conjure up in self.

The static from the outside world is what gets us in trouble with knowing ourselves and who we really are when no one is looking.

Take the time today to make sure you are truly seeing your beauty beyond the view in the mirror. It's important to your growth in living and loving yourself.

You deserve the best that is within you but you first have to believe you are the best!

Be Blessed, Be a Blessing, Be Encouraged, but state your words so you can avoid being Misunderstood.

Everyday believe....

Sometimes it's not the grand things that bring your mind to know life is beautiful, but the small things that are grand, like breathing, that lets you know life is so worth every breath. Everyday, believe that life is worth living and your actions and returns in the day will flow positively in your favor.

Be Blessed, Be a Blessing, Be Encouraged, but state your words so you can avoid being Misunderstood.

Inner Sun

Don't let the desires of your heart and the thoughts in your day be limited by people and circumstances today. Remember, it may look to others that you have it all together, but you alone determine your worth, so it really doesn't matter what they see. Once you believe, love and trust in yourself people will treat you in kind. It's a good day to shine from the inside out. Plug in your inner sun of beauty and shine on.

Time Stands Still For No One!

So apparently I was moving too slow for my son to get to work. He realized wait.... Dad is home that means my car is available. Mom, I've got to go see you later, love you and off he goes by himself headed to work like a grown ass man. I had to stop and say a prayer for protection and covering over my almost grown child. When he texted us stating he made it safely I love you guys, I went into a big emotional mommy moment. Not because I'm overbearing, not because I don't want to let go, not because I'm a punk, just because time has moved so damn fast. I see the little boy down the block riding his bike over his grandmother's house and I miss the days. Made me realize that time stands still for no one. Enjoy the times when your children are your loving adorables and enjoy the time that you see them begin to grow and discover independence and a will to live life in their own productive way.

Long Time

Long time no see. I'm back ready to take on the bloggesphere.. been a minute I've been neglectful in my writing duties.

Anyway... Today, see the world that surrounds you through the eyes of a child. Be amazed at everything you see and excited about your next adventure.  Don't worry about anything but the moment you are in. Gleefully run through your day ready to explore. Take it all in while laughing and just enjoying life. I'm not asking you to forget your responsibilities, I'm just asking you to see from a point of view that will make It easier to complete them. You can be carefree without being careless. Try it, the sweet attitude of a child excited in their day can create a most productive day in you.

It takes a moment to think like a child but it's worth it!

Be Blessed, Be a Blessing, Be Encouraged but state your words so you can avoid being Misnderstood.

T.G.I.F T.hinking G.ood I.s F.reeing. You can't keep thinking and harboring on the negative and allowing it to keep you in bondage. You have to change what you focus on. Try thinking good and seeing good and get free. There is power in what you focus on. Remember, what you think and speak will come to an existence in your life, so don't be a slave to negative thoughts. Get free, be free, live free in good thoughts. Start by changing your self talk and thought. Everything is not bad, in fact it's all better than you allow yourself to believe. T.G.I.F T.hinking G.ood I.s F.reeing!

Good and Greatness in You

I read this on the Internet and thought how true. ...

"To often are we misunderstood, kindness is mistaken for flirting, politeness and proper home training are viewed as an open invitation, lady like behavior is stuck up and/or insulting to those in interest, loyalty is stupidity and honesty is "ratting someone out".  No longer can we continue to willingly ignore the odds, truth is - everyone has a choice to treat others as they want to be treated, unfortunately not everyone does right, therefore a domino effect is created .. people become defensive, from the beginning expecting the worse in others ... until proven worthy of kindness and all it conveys.. its truly sad... yet for the belief of the good in all people -  we try nevertheless.. if Jesus himself was mistreated... I guess such behavior is to be expected.. unfortunate because who knows what people are going through, and how a simple kind gesture, someone sincerely willing to help... can change a heart.. yet, malice seems to have the upper hand.. resulting in humanity always being on defense,  therefore always expecting the worse from people - making true friendships at risk of being extinct"

Then I reflected. .. I came to the conclusion that, no matter what others believe and do,  we must be vigilant in being the person we desire to be. We can't allow what others are tainted with to destroy the good in us. We have to treat others kindly and with the true love instilled inside us to share.  Yes many would want us to fall to the defensive and question those around us if they are true.  But we as individuals we should know that the universe can not survive with the negative reactions of kind and that karma is only a bitch if you are.

So... we sit and reflect and learn that we can only control our own actions, our own thoughts,  our own reactions to the crazy way that people spin things that are meant for good. In the end the way others see things and place them in your universal path can only be counteracted with every fiber of good and greatness in us.

It's Today

These days parents are not as involved in their kids lives...the village doesn't raise the child...men are no longer gentlemen bc they are too busy trying to prove their manhood..... women are too busy thinking like men and claiming independence to a fault and can't be ladies.....I have to go to the store to get milk when it used to be delivered...tvs are larger and people are fatter. ..teachers don't care and school is just preparation for a test.....gas is high and moral is low... money has changed but the value stays the same.... people care less and harm more...and times have changed yet stayed the same. 

We have to see the difference from yesterday to today but we can't live in the desire to be in yesteryear and not work on what today brings. Stop looking back look right in front of you. It's Today so live in it.
