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

Making Changes



I have been thinking a lot lately and it's time for some new measures. It's all good though - it's about taking opportunities and seek new ways to get ahead. Everyone else is making strides so I think I should too.

I always encourage everyone to step forward so I think it's my time. As Imo-I sang it, "It's Your Time,  get up and rise up"! Well, Father help me because I'm taking another step forward. From 2011, I've been making positive strides and I'm not giving up. I don't fear the stumbling blocks because God is with me. If it's not the right move, he will chart me on the right course.

We have to do something for ourselves today. It's not about what other people see in you or what they want in you. We are here to work, be involved in the community and make a difference. Sometimes, the difference is what you make for yourself. Others may see it positively and take a good step forward too.

Let's Do It!!!! Make a positive change in your life today!

POEM: Different Mission

I go up and down
and yet I always amazed
with the things people say
WOW
our mouths...
the sad behavior
is beyond nonsense now
cause the crooks
evade the issues
and yet
persuade the people
that they are stupid
well I think I am
smarter
than that
cause it's gone beyond wack
where the leaders are slack
and on the wrong track
so don't feed me
the Koolaid
and I don't want the
Hater-Ade
either
cause I've long
gone past that
and I'm on
a different mission
so don't try to cloud my vision
just stay
out of
my way
and you can
disregard
what I say
but I'm living
and I'm enjoying
what God has
for
me

Do your Best

Green grasshoppee

I'd like to big up all those hardworking people who put their best foot forward every time. I'd also like to shot out those who may feel underappreciated and remind them that Jesus loves them. To anyone who is going through hardship, the trial is only for a season. Better things will come.

I chose this slant for the 501st blog post because this is the reality that we have to deal with. It is hard out there. There is a lot that needs to be done. However, we can't stay there playing around and pretending like it's not. Just do what you have to do and work to your hardest every day.

It makes no sense to complain because when you complain to others, they either laugh or spread your business. Don't be foolish - just struggle through, ask for help if necessary and move on. Live within your means and 'do what you know is right' like De Apostle said.

500th Blog Post - BOOM!

I never give up on getting what I want. Writing this 500th blog post should show you that. I have come a long way, shared a lot of personal thoughts and a lot of poetry. I want my readers to know that I truly appreciate them and that I am trying to always improve the blog.

I prefer to use this forum to inspire you rather than bicker about my job or my family. Instead my hope is to keep you on your toes. Like I shared before, I pride myself as being a quick thinker and a problem solver. I encourage you to do so also. I give my children, especially my son, this advice all the time.

Blogging takes patience and discipline. I want to be a better writer and using this blog has help me to improve my craft. I am the child who was always OK in English but never the best. Going to college help me to improve and the blog has made me better.

You may have something that you are struggline with and you just have to work on it. It may be an addiction, a shortcoming or a financial difficulty, but it does not mean that you cannot move forward. You can but you just have to make things happen - but be patient. Somet things take longer than others and you have to seek the help and guidance that can launch you to your goal. Of course - you need to set a goal. I wanted 20,000 page views and I got it. I wanted to be a freelance writer and I am.

I did not seek anyone's permission. I took my energy and put it to use. What's the sense of paying for internet and not use it for something with sense - not minding people's business. What's your talent? How can you use it to make your life better? Think.....

Everything you need comes from God and with his inspiration, you can grow and improve yourself.
