Yessir!

My Pinterest!

I absolutely ADORE my Pinterest pins!  They are seriously ME, ME, ME!

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

My Inspirational Tools!

Here are a few things that inspire me and get me recharged and ready to take on anything:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Reverend Queeny: TBT

This was Queeny's Facebook status message yesterday: 

My Pastor announced in church that I will be getting ordained at our state conference this year!!! Keep me in your prayers as I study and prepare for this next step in ministry. Q

Many of you know that our girl Queeny is a minister and I have to say I'm RIDICULOUSLY proud of her!  I call her TBT and folks always wonder what it means well...Imma share it with yall today.  TBT = Thug Bible Thumper.  ROFL!  Why?  Because she doesn't suffer fools and speaks EXTREMELY plainly without mincing her words getting folks' minds RIGHT!

See...I think some people need someone to snatch them up from time-to-time with the for real and baaaaaaaaaaaaby...The Good Reverend Queeny gives it TO 'EM!

CONGRATS QUEENY!   YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE US PROUD AND INSPIRE US!  LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!

 

Kentwood Water Angel

So...the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared from the kitchen fire at Dr. Punkin's house on Friday.  State Farm is over there doing their one, two by way of cleaning and things are on the roll to be set back right.

But I have to tell yall about the ANGEL.

My sister's house is on a dead end street.  The kitchen faces the dead end and it's right next to the carport.

Well...you couldn't see a kitchen fire from anywhere other than the carport basically.

My sister left to take the Golden Boy to school.

They think a burner was accidentally turned on and started melting ish which started the fire. 

Well...the fire was straight up roaring in the kitchen.  The Kentwood water delivery guy rolled up, saw the fire, grabbed his extinguisher from his work truck, kicked the door in and PUT THE FIRE OUT!

Lemme repeat that.

THE KENTWOOD WATER DELIVERY GUY ROLLED UP, SAW THE FIRE, GRABBED HIS EXTINGUISHER FROM HIS WORK TRUCK, KICKED THE DOOR IN AND PUT THE FIRE OUT!

My sister's alarm went off and the company called her to tell her there was movement in her kitchen.  They dispatched the police.  Mr. Kentwood called the fire department...police rolled up...my sister rolls up.

HER HOUSE COULD HAVE BURNED UP COMPLETELY.

iCan't.

My sister and I are alike in that we talk to everybody.  She knows her Kentwood water delivery guy because he's been on her route for a long time.  She talks to him...gets to know who he is as a person whenever he delivers when she's home.  He knows she's a good person.  When he saw that fire...all he could think was to help her in some way because she was always such a nice person to him.  Since the fire wasn't that big when he saw it...he acted.

Dude is a hero.  Dude is an ANGEL.

Thank God he arrived when he did.  Thank God the fire didn't start AFTER he'd delivered the water.

So much to be thankful for.

It's going to be a good week playas!  How you feeling today?

Meditation

I simply canNOT meditate.  Seriously.  Like...I can sit quiet all day long but quieting my brain?  NEVER!

Can YOU meditate?  Do you?  How'd you learn?  Does it really help you?  In what way?

You NEED to watch this!

I promise.  I post stuff all the time and many of you don't even click on it but baaaaaaaaaaby...you NEED to watch this one!

"It's Not Too Late to Get Started"

Spring Training Check In!

I know a lot of yall are getting it in something BIG.TIME and it's been a while since we've asked how close you are to your goals.  So...spill it!  Have you lost any?  How much?  How long has it taken you?  What do you think is the most effective thing you're doing?

Are you PROUD of yourself?

I LOVE miss_eddy!

I don't understand people that say they support black shows and they don't even discriminate on the kind of black show. That's like saying I support black music and you listen to songs that negatively describe women or speak of violence and vulgar acts. Why support something because it is black?
You should support the things that uplift and empower you.. Make a conscious effort to be the change you wish to see...oh wait.. I don't want to start lecturing..

I have seen a Tyler Perry play and enjoyed it. However, the T.P. movies that have been in the theater always show women in a down and busted situation.. what's up with that? I am waiting on a movie that depicts black women in a positive light. We don't always have to have either drug issues, abuse issues, domestic violence issues, jail time issues, "no good man" issues, or other hardships that are "stereotypical"... Can't we just be in love without all the extra nonsense?

Quote from the Robinator...

Robby:  I don't make resolutions.  I SET GOALS.

Me:  Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Go head boy go head git down!

Patrick Hughes : This story has made me cry....

NOTE!  I'm going to keep this post at the top all day tomorrow...so check for new stuff underneath it as I want EVERYBODY to see this one!

Questions

Do you believe you have the power to make a difference?

Do you believe that making a difference in one person's life will affect many others?

Do you recognize your strengths?  Your weaknesses?

Are you too proud to accept help?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?

AND DO YOU CARE?

I know who you are.

You visit this site everyday and you don't comment. 

You're content with just being a spectator.

I'm calling you out. 

Do you care? 

Do you see what I'm trying to do? 

Is my quest in vain? 

Am I stoopit to continue to believe that you're "listening" and thereby "learning" empathy for others?  You want to know what's going on in my world.  Weird girl who writes alot... and believes in the power of being fabulous...

DO YOU CARE?  ANSWER THE QUESTIONS DAMMIT!  DO YOU CARE!  It's killing me.  This. Is.  Really.  Killing.  Me.

I need a favor...I need you to comment.  I need you to answer these questions.  I WANT TO BELIEVE IN YOU. Please.

Me...RUNNING!

Amy and I powerwalked today.  About twenty minutes into our walk we decided to walk a block then run a block.  Walk a block then run a block.  *sigh*  Needless to say my butt burns (because Monnie runs from nothing but danger!) and now my calves are aching.  I hate running!  I'd rather kickbox.  Why did I run then you ask?  Because Amy started running and I consider her a wussy punk chick (she's gonna kill me for saying that) and wasn't about to let her run and my not run and beat her.  Good reason huh?  *sigh*  (I need help.) 

Maybe I should make friends with an Olympic Sprinter and then have a friendly "run" with him.  Wonder if I'd win just on guts, glory and hoohah alone?

I'm a sad, sad, soul.

By the way...tomorrow between 2 and 4 I'm going out in the world and fighting crime.  If you know of any crime being committed...make sure you send me an email or text message.  Text message is prolly best since I'll be out saving the world.

Our Greatest Fear

I love this passage from Nelson Mandela's speech (written by Marianne Williamson)  so much that I feel the need to share it at least once a year.  I know most of you have seen it before...but I truly believe we need to be reminded of it on a regular basis.  My wish today is that those of you who have yet to take it to heart and use it as a catalyst to your greatness...do so today.  Love,  Monnie
