spread the news

When you try to stay strong, when you try to be heroic but you just break down You fall to the altar, knees sharp and bloody from the fall, searching for answers and the light to affix the dark… Light to shine through the Milky Way, light to shine Just to say that I feel, I feel, God give us the reason, give us the hope and sprinkle of fruit…. Lost…. Love… Light up my dark.

The Days Will Get Better

It will get better...

Today, I sit at work thinking about my life and how it will reach 27 years in 4 days. Every year I seem to sulk or be depressed around this time. Why? I often think that I have a chemical imbalance or have bi-polar. But, I doubt that. I believe there is another neurological problem that I endure. Maybe its old age, maybe its fear of the unknown. But, I can not be so sure. This year, I was scheduled to have a big party in my backyard but I cancelled it and my friends made me feel like FACEBOOK was such a serious thing that I cried myself to sleep for not being considerate to others about MY birthday. But, as the morning is anew, I realize that its MY birthday and I can cry if I want to. I have been through A LOT these past few weeks. A LOT. The day I traveled to Miami to see my favorite singer of the moment, Beyonce, I became ill with laryngitis. I had to drive myself to the Emergency Room at 3 o'clock in the morning. I was alone in my house for 5 days with NO voice and I was told that my ER picture looked thirsty with attention. The next week, 4th of July, I was still very ill and I couldn't go home to be with family because of 2 flat tires. The following week, I returned to the football field to play for my league and sprained my ankle. And on top of it all, I quit smoking and am super stressed. I also have obligations as Maid of Honor for my best friends wedding and its overwhelming me. So, forgive me for being a DIVA and being semi-dramatic but I feel I'm fucking warranted. That is all....

Its a new year...again!

I'm starting off the year again, continuously professing new changes.

I have started most and finished quit a bit.

I will continually work toward all of my goals.

Number 1 : write in blog more.

Number 2 : finish my weight loss transition.

Well, off to the races!

new year. new me. new life. new love.

"If music be the food of love, sing on, sing on, sing on til I am filled with love." -W.M. The course of life is very strange and fickle. There are ups and downs, there are highs and lows. but on thing that I have taken out of this experience is that love and life will forever be a continual cycle. Love. [energy], is never lost, only transferred. I have yet to gain the great long lasting nuances of what love and life have to offer. "I have made a conscious decision to be a better person. I will uphold my standards of hospitality and care." -lashele

I believe in FREEDOM...

a choice use of words. a very privileged use of words...free DOM, FREE dom...

what would the world be like if we had none? what would the world be like if there was none?...

freeDOM...FREEdom!

is it a curse or a diplomatic right? is it a preference or just a way of life?


to find is to seek, to seek, is to have understanding and want of obtaining...so do we?

do we have the right? do we want the privilege? or do we sit back and wait for it to appear in our faces? freeDOM


the doom of free is vastly approaching. the FREE of dom is quickly approaching...

I want, I thirst, I need, I know, I love, I live, I, I, I, I....eye

freedom.........

life is freedom

death is freedom...
chose your path, surround yourself, but love and let life live FREE

Reviews, Reviews, Reviews!

I recently stumbled across a mixtape named 'The Soul Tape' by the one and only FA-BO-LO-US! Yes, that's Mr. Twitter himself @myfabolouslife

The song that caught my attention was Riesling & Rolling Papers (2 of my favorite elements). Other songs that are noteworthy are Wolves In Sheeps Clothing, In the Morning, & Mo' Brooklyn, Mo' Harlem, Mo' Southside. True to any mixtape form, Fabo re invents a series of recent artists takes on music and throws his own 'FABULOUS' style and shows the fierce competition in the industry!

My Rating: Is a Fierce & 'Fabolous' 4STARS






I've also had the opportunity to view the 1st episode of VH1's new season of Tough Love Miami
This show, again displays a group of un dateable, clueless, and almost hopeless women's journey on how to find love. Expert matchmaker Steve Ward guides these women on how to date and improve their images and ultimately find love. Hopefully, these women will find their way. Tune in to VH1 on Sundays @ 8/7c!

My Rating: A Big Tough 3 STARS of Love!

I don't give a damn!

I don't give a damn...if they shackle me to the post,
I don't give a damn...if they wanna persecute me, pull me up on the cross ans whip to to the desire of pain,

I don't give a damn...if you feel me pain, feel my agony, feel m y strength, and I will do my job so my best, and be the best!!
/////////

Cuz, I don't give a damn, I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm done. If you wanna come to me, then come to me, come to me as if I am the supreme.

But, I release and let go!

Best thing I never had...

Zen Den

Today, I experienced the Riverside Arts Market. It was filled with wonderful showcases of jewelery, fruit & veggies, and an extreme talented music scene. Located, under the north end of the Fuller Warren bridge, this market is open every Saturday from 10 am to 4pm March through December. As I walked in, I was escorted by present police officers helping pedestrians cross the busy streets of people parking to enjoy this experience.





Towards my left was a happening African folk band playing delightful tunes on guitars, oboes, and flute like instruments. There was also a saxophonist entertaining the crowd with Kenny G's 'Pastel' and other renditions of Jazz greats.


Today, the African Yoga troupe was there to help the crowd get fit with positions of the rejuvenating exercise. The aroma of different cultures of food also enticed me. I tasted a European sausage and and enjoyed a Blue Crab Bisque.

Also, known as RAM for short, RAM is located at 715 Riverside Avenue, under the canopy of the Fuller Warren Bridge on the north bank of the St Johns River. This pet friendly enviornnemt is a great time for the entire family.


If you are ever in Jacksonville, or want to experience a nice and blissful Saturday after brunch, go out and enjoy this great space that the city has to offer!

Today, I am reconstructing this site! It's under construction for a better lifestyle and a new and improved me! I hope you enjoy the headlines, and please encourage me to keep moving forward!

Back from the Dead

I wish I coulod remember what the title was, or what the accusation was...

but I digress and move forward...

Just imagine the world infested and under the rule of all that is evil and corrupt,




But imagine us as one, imagine us united...
under the law of

creed...


love...


So imagine all the people, that shape our land in unity, imagine all the people becoming all for one.



that great day shall come, it will come with a rising force that shines,

glides,



and guides us all home to a light of purity and understanding,

but until that day, we shall let it be...




words of wisdom from the wise, we shall overcome our sickest darkest days and venture on to light.

We the people, and as the people, we shall forever and always be the people, because we are the people,

people of passion, hope and forthright indivisible power..

We the people....


let it be...

Music is Made for Love...

Let's fly away, fly away to that beautiful place named Jupiter & Mars,
(and if you want it you got it forever)
(just release & you will find)

A place that we can escape to a sweet melodic sound of rhythm, harmony, & soul,
a kindred heart & spirit of sweet harmonic design.

A place where we can find the peace that we have so desperately sought for our own,
gathering collections of emotions; timeless memories of day,
moonlight shines brightly when we whisper our delight and new found glory of love.

Let's fly away together to a place that they can never find,
maybe to Barbados, Costa Rica, or St. Tropez,
a place where love only and will only exist that we share...

My funny Valentine, my sweet, dear, and tender Valentine,
love of my life, keeper of my soul,
Love is always around, love is always near when I think of you,

We shall always cruise to the beat, ride to the passion that is music,




made of love...

The Legacy that will die...

All of her emotions open wide, they never have to hide...
A legacy that dies with her, a legacy that was written to rule and be upheld as a landmark of our, this and forever a people.

She unfortunately has to decease from this planetarium unto another world that can and will appreciate her beauty, grace, mercy, and effect. A world that embraces change and a contentious equilibrium of life.

May I ask a question?

Black. Brown. Caramel. Fair. Light-Skinned. Dark-Skinned. Olive. Red. Yellow. White....all shades or 'definitions' that describe a woman of color.

Often times, I think why and how we(as black women) are characterized under one specific color. Women of color vary in size, shape, mentality,culture, and of course, color. Why is it that we have a love/hate relationship with one another?


Facts have proven that we do disregard "our" men dating or having relations with women that are not of color. So why do we criticize and demean each other, as if we were foreign enemies? Or under a foreign policy that limits us to communicate and embrace our uniqueness?

Soliloquy of Pure Air

Wide open spaces,
there's some I've seen, the clear cold air brushing against my
face,
breath in and out,
the trees don't tumble or crack,
freedom is what the leaves sing, they dance in the nights darkness awaiting for their prayer, sing,

dance is like the dirt's theme to praise out when the wind touches their surface,

wide open space is what you're giving me, wide open spaces is all I feel,
loving
the breeze as it wisps away all the thought of the day, silence is what's said,

darkness is shone through the light of the dark that creeps up beside you,
night
and day is always in the wide open spaces.

what can happen tomorrow...

today I discovered that if you let GO and let GOD!!! He will answer your prayers!

I am a devout Christian, and I believe in his works, power, and miracles. All of my life I have struggled to actually connect to what it meant to believe and most importantly, have faith.

I looked up the definition of faith; and webster tells us:

1faith noun \ˈfāth\
plural faiths
Definition of FAITH
a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty
b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2
a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion
b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
: something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs
— on faith
: without question

It also gives us examples of faith, but tonights post speaks for itself. I had faith that I would accomplish my goal and I have reached a point on my goal list. I am satisfied and happy. I love my new thirst for life, laughter, and especially love. I had the faith to conquer all my doubts.

SO, one of my wildest dreams came true today, and I have my faith in God to thank. Because I believed, my eyes were opened to new sights and my ears listened to finer tunes.

But, there is one thing that I can say, being a believer works.

Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

~Psalms 27:14

aucunes semences qu'aucunes tiges séparent deux

passing days go by, wishing for the time to reflect its light,

wondering how the rest of my night, will satisfy the love i desire,

roll around, spark the ignite, inhale and pass out...

stems and seeds are not required...

No stems, no seeds, it seems this happens really often,

but inhaling is only the first part,
.

.
.

what you do with it is your own course...



part deux...
continued to excel, continued to parallel, on the course of higher expectations,
of love,
lust,
and desire,


no seeds, no stems,

Mi Hope: Traducido

Mirar y esperar, esperar ese gran escape para venir, Deseando y deseando que viniendo por y me rescate de este desastre, yo entro el agua y la esperanza y el
deseo que usted todavía piensa en mí y la espera arriba para mi regreso al corazón, Dondequiera quiere tomarme yo estoy aquí y le oigo, creo en las cosas que
hacen usted y mí para siempreR, Estoy a solas, permaneceré por usted lado R porque creyó en mí y en usted, creyó en nosotros,

Creo y le adoro, usted me es y mi total, algo que usted desea será mi orden. El amor que compartimos crecerá y crecerá hasta que la tierra se enfríe y hasta fines de tiempo en el latido del corazón de nuestra melodía. Con el paso del tiempo.

the kindred heart

five hundred twenty five hundred six hundred minutes
how do you measure, measure a year?

well, it's been a while since I've let you all know my thoughts...
let me catch you up to speed...
first of all, I've moved back to Jacksonville, Florida, (my birthplace) my hometeam.

I've grown, shrunk and been all over the place, but today I have finally and actually realized what I was meant to do in life.. I am meant to be the * THAT i AM!
now, finidng yourself and who you are is not an easy task or commitment. But, it is a commitment that you are obligated to do for yourself. Of course, I love myself and the person that i AM, but, I am not happy with the outcome that has occurred. I want to be more and i deserve more! SO! as of today i will be more and have a bigger and brighter future!

I magnify the Lord and he has redeemed me to be destined for greatness!


I will bless the Lord at all times!
