I'm a Blogger

I was happy when I made 25 some years ago. I'm even happier now making 25,000 page views on this blog. It has been a long time coming but I believe in taking strides. I have grown so much as a writer that I think I am addicted to writing.

I have evolved from a party girl to a mommy with a little garden. I am now an active poet that for sure has over 200 pieces. Will I publish a book? I'm not sure and am not bothered to rush. I just love the me that I am. I enjoy singing (off-key) and I enjoy my music. I can play music all day and be happy. I dance (out of step) and I could care less.

I'm just doing my thing and I encourage you to do the same too. I feel confident with my experience and my life. For the job part, I need my job to pay my bills. I do my best as I ought to. There's no perfect job or perfect career. If I could write all day and earn enough to cover my expenses, I so would not have a full time job. I guess as I build my writer's resume, one day I could be making enough to live off of.

However, even if that day does not come, I won't stop. It's a passion, not a job. My job can't give me this satisfaction. It's my niche and where I funnel my energy.

I'm a blogger.

Poetic Testimony

Do you hear me
my God does
and he never ignores me
he's my strength
and my shield
he takes my blows
and soothes my spirit
I want to stay
close to him
for all my days
o  yeah
while you may ignore me
God's not going to leave me
no way
and he won't leave you either
so for those
who are in need of a friend
Check God!
he won't leave you alone

POEM: If I was Crazy

If I was crazy
I would be sane
at the same time
cause it's all about your
mental state of mind
and once you're not in a bind
you'll be fine
never to worry about
what comes out of your mouth
so while others pout
I'll be free
and won't need to flee
from myself
or
lock myself up in a shelf
cause I'm already mad
so I don't care how bad
you think I am
at least I don't scam
or steal
or feel
like I'm so good
when I'm not
I'm neither the kettle or pot
just a plain old
regular
insane person
who could care less
I'm just me
and that's all

O Snap!

I see why many people snap. You are pressured to at home, on the job and even on the highway. People poke at you and pressure you. Some even threaten you. I don't like it but snapping seems like it's an everyday thing now.

SNAP!

I try my best to snap with my fingers as I am going down the road playing music. Let the frustration go that way because I think if I snap like the people on Oxygen, that network would find itself to the VI to record the story.

But I'm not going to let the devil chook me and he's been busy these days - very busy. I'm going to keep my head and keep snapping my fingers as I walk down the road, playing my music!

Lots to Do

My time is funny. I have done so much things for the day and still have more to do. I'm a multitasker and my aim is to get it done. You may not agree with my techniques or tactics but that's how I roll. They say I'm good under pressure but I just do what I have to do. I find that the time we spend complaining could be used to accomplish what we need to. I complain too but I usually have a plan of action behind it. I'm about efficiency.

I do what works for me. My boss knows that and he knows that I can get things done. Can my attitude be foul at times - YES IT CAN. I'm human. I may even slip an unsavory word. I may 'suck my teeth' but I do what I have to do. If you are faced with a challenging day - block out the haters and the negative people. They can be in front of me and I still get the job done cause that's how I roll. Be encouraged and just do what you need to do.

The Everything in Me

I just realized that I am a hopeless romantic, a music fanatic and overly optimistic. Does that sound like me? It should - it's the poet in me, it's the mother in me and for sure it's the energy in me.

While I'm not the most liked or the most celebrated, I know what all I'm all about. I have a lot on my plate but I don't back down. My heart is in the right place and I'm going to go for what I want. I'm cheap and I spend on the neccessities. You'll never see me flashy or overdone. I'm simple and I plan to keep it that way.

I believe in quality and I can proudly say that the works that I have done will speak for me. I go for feats that noone has tried and will always aim to accomplish something positive. When you see me, you may think that I'm crazy but I'm just being the best me that I can be - and I am happy with that.

I love the me that I am.

Prayer for September 25, 2012

Heavenly Father,

In my movements today, let me be pleasing to you. Let my behavior show good example. Help my children to be strong and to do the right thing. Bless their school, especially their teachers who are the parents away from home. Take care of us Lord in the workplace and inspire us to be a help to one another. Help us to be our brother's keeper and give us a spirit of peace and patience. Thank you for your continued blessings.

AMEN
