Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

Buzzwords & Triggers
“Tomlin just added
himself to a list of “No good (N-Word), “Another “ungrateful” black multi-millionaire,
“Throw the Son of a Bitch out”, “thugs.” Wow, the more time change, the more it
remains the same. These were words spoken from a fire chief, congressman,
president and anyone else who want to describe certain ethnic groups.
It is depressing to
hear the same words that were spoken decades ago. Someone spread a rumor years
ago that racism is dead because America elected a Black President. Others
believed that a minority president will divide America. It appeared that
America was off balance and out of harmony. Instead, America became more
peaceful and tolerant towards others. Of course, there were pockets of hate
that raised their ugly heads, but were met with peace and love.
Buzzwords and triggers.
Words used by some people in position, meant to divide and destroy. Statements
made that do not need apologies, because apologies would show signs of
weakness. But, it was really meant to be said, the apology is for saying it out
loud? There is too much negativity in the social media, news media, home and
work for the sake of the dollar. It is beginning to affect us all directly and
indirectly, consciously and subconsciously.
This may be a cleverly designed smokescreen to take the focus off of some of our leaders by looking for allies anywhere they can find them, even it means turning against your friends calling their bluff. (NFL Owners vs the players). You can bluff them with fear of their players, deep inside who is afraid of Robert Mueller's findings?

I am a proud veteran of
the U.S. military forces. Our brothers and sisters in arms sacrificed their
lives to ensure that the Stars and Stripes wave freely. Blood was shared so
that all Americans can exercise their rights freely, whether we like their demonstrations
or not. But, let’s not confuse this story about the NFL disgracing the flag with
equal rights. Those who have ears, listen! The words mentioned above cleverly
disguise the fact that all men are still not equal. Politicians are using this
confusion to pit Americans against each other. Why don’t we all take a knee and
pray!
Thanks, Dorothy. You, Harold and others are always in my prayers.

Rest In Peace!
It's been a long time since I have entered anything! Once again, a lot has happened! We just returned last week from MegaFest in Dallas, TX and enjoyed the spiritual treatment we received. And yes, we walked quite a bit in downtown Dallas.
But on our return, we were met with deaths in the family, at work and with former workers. So, I'll say Rest in Peace, Larry Irby, April's uncle; rest in Peace, Evelyn Gregg, Russell's wife and; Rest in Peace, Big Country, a former resident. They will surely be missed! Please add them and their loved ones in your prayers. Shout out to Russell, a true husband all the way through!
We continue to keep Judy, Dorothy and Harold in our prayers. These are warriors and conquerors. They are truly respected. Blessings!

Happy Mother's Day!
To all of you mom's that have sacrificed and gave your all for your family, may your day be joyful and blessed! May your love ones show their appreciation and love that you have given them throughout this year! And may the cherished memories of those of us whose moms have passed on be acceptable and wonderful forever! Praying also for the moms who lost their children or unable to share anytime with them for other reasons.
Happy Mother's Day! God bless you!
I miss you, mom! I'll always love you!
Praying for Dorothy & Harold.
