Watch what you ask for....





"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Proverbs 18:21 Power of Words....I believe in it. So in prayer, I watch what I say. In meditation, I watch what I meditate upon. In speaking to others, I chose my words carefully. I believe we plant seeds with our words. Ok, so I spoke about something about 9-10 months ago. I was talking with a friend and asked for something specifically from God. She looked at me like I was nutty but was like "yeah ok". I'm not going to say specifically what it was but just say, I got exactly what I wanted. YIKES!! I've made life difficult for myself in all areas of my life. I was complaining to her about this situation and she reminded me of my words over 10 months ago. I sat looking at her saying...WOW....God gave me what I asked for just to prove a point, I think. We need to watch our words. Now this thing isn't SOOOOOOOOO Awful but its annoying as hell.

A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G
Its almost like God is gigglin' about it. It just made me realize that our words, wishes, prayers do manifest in some manner. We need to watch our words all the time. We need to always speak truth. So many people are afraid of Honesty. Its a damn shame really. Speak from your heart. Plant Powerful, Positive seeds and watch them manifest. Watch want happens when you speak negativity, death, dishonesty and ill will......you will reap all of that! I believe if we truly don't move in what our hearts TRULY desires for our lives (in our employment, family, relationships, future, careers, etc) we reap negativity. We reap unhappiness. Watch your words. Watch what you ask for. God has a sense of humor. :)

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service. As someone who has been very transparent on her blog, I find this essay by Kevin refreshing. I just happen to see this on Facebook as someone posted it many months ago. Thanks KP. I AM A SEXIST MALE. I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did.  In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
