WHEN DID THE CLOCK STOP ??

The reality of time isn't anything to be totally worried about anymore because you won't be around to figure it all cause time waits for no one. is that ironic or what? The Philosophers spent most of their lives mimicking snd translating and we must remember assessing the grandiosity of second,minutes,hours,days and the eventual years that befall and slowly diminish our faculties then us~ i am not trying to be morbid but the truth is not pretty nor are we as we age sometimes with grace oft times not. We get bald we have age lines,we sag ,we lose muscle tone all the things we have prided ourselves on and even sometimes lost real friendships about leaves us without s clue as to why it ever happened in the first place. That is why I am writing this little passage to remind someone that one day you will be exactly the same place that time has me now getting older but with a clue as to why ,what and the how it did what it did to me~ Apparently it happened while the clock had stopped during the electrical storm I lost count or either time lost me nevertheless it slipped up and here I am! Do I want more time? Good question a lot of people would enjoy more life but at what expense it you lived forever where would they put all these extra folks, the old folks homes'OOPs!' The Senior Citizen's Communities couldn't make the Millions of dollars it takes in for the turnovers and the pharmaceutical companies,mind you couldn't continue to charge the huge amounts that they charge ~We would just have to get the 'Heck' outta the way for 'Progress' All the happenings that are going on ,life has to be explored no one has got the time for an old woman or old man just what they leave you upon their demise! Is that cruel? yes but it's so very true and everybody knows it is the truth but will act as if it's not~ Oh well it's getting late and my eyes are not the way they were when I was young but I am hoping and praying that yours are and that your mind is sound enough to take this message and do something constructive with it like REMEMBRANCE and REVERENCE TO THOSE WHO TROD THE ROADS AHEAD OF YOU AND TOOK CARE AND ALSO LOVED YOU UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING OF THEM LEFT TO LOVE BUT THEY STILL LOVED AS I DO NOW~ LOVE AND KISSES AND HUGS TO ALL*****

Journeys of a DC Native**

I have yet to become highly publicized but it's quite alright knowing that I am important enough to share information to those who want to listen and learn. These are the fine points of living in a world sometimes unkind to those who won't cooperate w/it! I enjoyed my Mother's Day so very much not so much because I am a mother but the fact that I was able to make someone else happy in the interim! My mother and a few others that I won't divulge name because of their love of privacy. People don't realize that we as the human beings we are supposed to be are responsible for each other, not too tear down but to hold up and love as long as it takes to rekindle some form of self-love again in our lives. Loving oneself does not come with the territory,many loose themselves because of bad relationships or just the fact of unhealthy ones. This doesn't mean that we are relegated to live out our existence loveless but apparently taking pains to include those who will balance and enhance us as we do the same for them. Young adults could take some pointers from those of us who have paved the way on relationships,everyone has them no matter how platonic or expressive they may become,our living journey depends upon this scenario. We engage and learn from birth the meaning of sharing and needing someone other than self to make experiences complete on the platform that we all share as soon as we take our first breathe. To all who begin the trek to learn and pursue your purpose I applaud the efforts that will be your own personal truth and no one but you can perform this but you! Whether you are spiritual or are connected to organized religion your purpose is yours the choice to embrace it or reject it comes from your will to dream the imossible dream and make it manifest upon the UNIVERSE.. In Our Own Times~

Return to Continuing Education is like~

I just came back off of a trip to somewhere else in this universe! Ha! Who would of thought that after all these years I would aspire to become a college bum all over again? The youthfulness of the other students light me up like a candle because often times they are giving me the vigor and energy to show them exactly what a baby-boomer is made of. The content of my studies right now range from Economics and Business Law which I simply love,and will say honestly if I had to do it all again I'd be a Lawyer,an Esquire whatever the handle would've been. My study habits have much to be required, I retain information quite well all things taken in to consideration. I have kept up the pace of going to the library and working a full time job~ Oh the job is extraordinary,I do Quality Assurance something that keeps everyone on their toes, honestly? My reemergence as a student has indeed opened up a lot of new venues for me, I have acquired new friends in the age groups younger than my son all though they respect and admire my tenacity they tease me more or less about keeping on with the Keep ON~ And so I keep on with it until I walk across the platform and start my search for the next 'BIG Accomplishment ' something to pass on to my grand kids who can always say ' My granny has a Degree from??? This will be the legacy I seek to leave with my family~ Continuing your education 'ROCKS"

Candles Light Up My Life~

It's said some where that a person needs something in their lives to be passionate about. Mine is a hobby that has become a business and yet so personal to me. Candles signify the part of my life that had for so many years been undefined,shapeless,unformed,nothing from day to day to set your goals upon. Those are some of the phrases I used to define my existence. It wasn't as simple or complicated now but at the time when I was diagnosed as suffering from depression I didn't know half of the terms or symptoms affiliated to this Thief of Life! When you are in depressed mode nothing has any life, light or vigor to it, it was as I termed it shapeless. I dealt with this issue for many years but after therapy and clinical trials I finally have emerged from the cocoon that I was enshrouded in and joined life again. I wouldn't dwell on the fact of this prognosis but will dwell on the fact that we recover from it and have an excellent chance of remaining depression free if we rely on the counseling and oft times treatments that are associated with it. My physicians had been adamant about me doing things that kept one from isolating themselves. My fight wasn't with anyone in particular,just me and my emotions that sprang from one extreme to the other most of my life! I was either feeling up or feeling down. I have a lot of friends who at this very moment haven't sought any professional help and continue on their lonely journey to nowhere and it hurts me knowing that they can be set free if they just reach out and talk about this disease. This society terms depression as only a phase, a woman's hormonal levels are to high or she is angry or that she is just high strung have be some of the definitions used to describe me but once I started using the controls set in place by my therapist I realized that this was something that could be lived with and modified through the various means of therapies. Mine happened to be Candle-Making! These items I created are facets of me and my ability to transform and change my reality back to the future as opposed to wallowing in my past. With each new project I open up the door of renewed possibilities,something to set a goal upon or my dead-lines on. My critical thinking skills have come back even stronger and I took the necessary steps to go back to school and pursue my Bachelor's Degree something that had gotten lost to me amongst the reverie of moments gone but the beauty is OF The things I have yet to define ,seek and or Find~ life is never over until you cease to stop LIVING IT~

it's my story and I am sticking to it!

Greetings and Happy New Year!

There seems to be so much hub-ba-bub about nothing these days. Yes we have a new administration coming in and changes are desperately needed in a sagging economy and hopeless situations in foreclosures. What I see as an opportunity someone else may see as a downfall. I predict that our economy will rise again simply because we as a nation have our own monopoly on Creativity and perseverance. United States a colony from Great Britain seems to pull it off each and every time we get toppled and this is no difference when it comes to where the monies will come from. It's like Fort Knox pops out of nowhere and saves the day. I am not one to wonder about how we arrived at the solution but being in the middle and transforming a toppling economy back to a stable one is my story and as I said in the beginning 'That's my story and I am sticking to it' Dragnet Style! Have a Happy New Year People!

Yes we DiD! Now it's a Concerted Effort!

To make a change our nation needs focus,pure unadulterated purpose, In order to fulfill our destinies everything about us has to change from the top to the bottom. Change in itself is a scary process,we usually are in a comfort zone as most human beings rely on comfortable things and familiar ideas to keep them appeased. But these years previous and even now have been harrowing to us in the sense that economics,fair-play or any thing similar to autonomy was way down on the totem pole! What we needed was change that potent word that for us a people on the brink of oblivion in a world that money,politics,ethics and a straight-forward government means everything. We have arrived at a point whereas the Constitutions first statutes are now put into place,this Government long termed as for the people by the people can now begin to serve us,instead of being a self-serving one! "Hurray for Change" 'Yes We Did It'

Did You Know That Black Buying Power Is Awesome?

Do You Know Black Buying Power is Awesome??
Current mood: discontent
Category: We Can Overcome Industry Jobs, Work, Careers

But we don't seek the knowledge that would put us in control of our destinies for because of lack of faith ,motivation,being afraid of change ,ignorance and the number one of all,peer pressure. It is ironic sometimes still we will listen to someone in our circle of friends who don't have a clue about a dream and will discourage you if you say something or reveal a vision that you may have.I seriously believe that everyone is not deemed appropriate to speak out on your life and a lot of times certain matters should be kept private a long with pertinent info we sometimes want to divulge just to get a comment or a response from someone other than self.There are people out there just like Haters that there sole purpose on earth is to tell you what you can't do.I say that is preposturous when we a race can do whatever and obtain whatever we choose,all it takes is iniative and a plan,sure Money and Capital play a huge part,but sometimes just being committed to your dreams will get the ball rolling..I recently read stats on businesses over in China,This article reveal that the monopoly is exclusive as far as Hair Products which rests solely in Chinese hands,to narrow it down lets say the hair trade,weave and most things that Black Americans buy ,use and wear,also the Businesses that use these products which is multi-million industry,hair weaves ,corn rowing,things that Black people buy with a vengeance is not owned by one Black person !! You heard me, not one Black person is the head of a hair product industry,Oh we may be buyers and or owners of the businesses that utilize and capitalize on the manifested products but we don't own the actual bulk amounts,Yeah the Chinese are a shrewd bunch,capitalizing off of our vanity and our monies.Now who do you suppose shares in all that multi-millions that come out of our communities every hour,every minute and each and every day.Black women buy weave ,Black women love the corn rows,but the Chinese own every damn aspect of it,they will throw a contract here and there simply because they need us to draw us out to buy and sell to us,that is the closest we can get in to reap the benefits.That is mind boggling to me because if we boycotted these products who the heck could Chinese sell hair to? And I must reinterate the fact that we as a people still don't patronize Black Businesses,we have been brainwashed to believe that what we sell is inferior to those things sold by other nationalities,that has to be the biggest misconception out there,a lot of times it is just the packaging that may be different.I can attest that there are jeans out here that don't have to cost $300.00 just to look good,that's usually peer pressure,keeping up with the jones and they are White,So you do the Math!!!!
