HAPPY THURSDAY TO ALL MY FELLOW DREAMERS! Nobody says it like the COMMODORES…
Shout out to my homegirl Diana J. and the peeps at Bennie J’s Smoke Pit in Huntsville, TX for hooking up my holiday baking. Cakes to die for… and the personal service just doesn’t get any better!!
I am so very excited about the holidays this year. What am I saying, I have been excited about Christmas all my life. As the youngest in my family, I believe that it is my birthright. Never lose your childish enthusiasm!
Coming clean in Atlantic City
after Jill Scott’s “Golden” truth serum.
We were at the cross roads of our future
and some things had to be said.
Coming clean in Atlantic City looking in your mirror
at a double exposure that could have passed us by
were it not for God’s amazing grace.
At the Tropicana we gambled and won big, didn’t we?
Left without a dime from the house
but regained our winning spirits
that could only be revealed when we
were brave enough to come clean.
Coming clean in Atlantic City
we emptied our fears onto opposing beds.
I think you read me…
like I read you.
That discomfort stretched us beyond
what we already know.
I can’t imagine the world without us.

Believe me, YOU will feel amazing! ELEVATE!!
Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
I find such peace in this scripture. Naturally, I want to defend myself against those whom I believe have wronged me. But I am able to look retrospectively and witness that their tactics never produce success. My tenacity and desire to move my life forward and with positivity in my heart makes me free!
Thoughts are only the sparks to your physical manifestations, but they don’t carry enough energy to transform consciousness into dense, physical reality. The actual creation happens through your emotions, your energy that’s constantly in motion…
The stronger the emotion, the faster the manifestation. The most powerful positive emotions are love, passion, joy, excitement… but careful, there are also very powerful negative emotions, like worry and fear that are responsible for our unwanted, unconscious creations. -Robert Spadinger
Happy Thursday!! Who else is feeling free like me?
Love is alright with me today, but I am going to let Ms. Patti tell you guys…
I recently discovered that there is an actual term for my sometimes insatiable cravings for vegetables, even preferring them over meat. During my travels, I have opted for the vegetables on many occasions and continue to prefer them when I return home. Meat seems to become less of an anchor for my meals these days and I go days without eating any at all.
According to Ask.com, that makes me a “flexitarian.” What, exactly, does flexitarian mean? “Flexitarian” is used to describe a diet or a person who eats a “mostly” vegetarian diet, occasionally including meat. But what exactly does this mean? Does it mean once a week or once a day? It’s really up to you, as there is no standard agreement or definition, though perhaps someday there will be.
What I will admit is that I still love great barbeque, especially at “Bennie J’s Smoke Pit” in Huntsville, TX. If you are ever traveling on Interstate 45 between Houston and Dallas, it’s worth the detour.
