Expressing Your Gratitude

When was the last time you made a GRATITUDE list? Lately, have you thought about the things that you are grateful for? Sometimes we get so caught up in the trials and tribulations of life that we forget to remind ourselves to be thankful for what we have. Even if you are not satisfied with the way your life is going at this moment, creating a gratitude list will help you refocus on positive thoughts instead of negative thinking. I am a firm believer if you THINK POSITIVE you’re more likely to achieve Positive results! …Below is my personal gratitude list, hope it inspires you to make one for yourself.

oGrateful for my FAITH without it I would be lost…
oGrateful for my family – they are always there to support me, even when I am stubborn and choose not to listen
oGrateful for my health- never had surgery or been severely ill
oGrateful for my career, there is no better feeling than helping people change their lives for the better…
oGrateful to have a place to live- there are so many people who are homeless
oGrateful for my best friend Caly and my sister in Christ Elissia, they are amazing young ladies
oGrateful to be book smart and street smart – both always come in handy
oGrateful for my vehicle- public transportation sucks
oGrateful for strawberry cheesecake and cookies and cream ice cream…yummy my favorite desserts
oGrateful for this sunny weather-thank goodness I am away from the snow

Okay Folks, it's your turn...what are you grateful for?

LOVE

LOVE. LOVE . LOVE. It feels so good when it’s with the right person at the right time. Love is something that everyone longs for; it’s a part of our basic needs. Timing is everything when it comes to experiencing true love. To experience the true essence of love you have to be emotionally, spiritually and mentally fit. Ask yourself am I ready for love? Have I gotten rid of the baggage and self-defeating thoughts that are weighing me down emotionally, spiritually and mentally? Have I found love within myself or am I expecting to find it with someone else?

Some people are afraid to be alone so they rush into relationships hoping to fill the void of loneliness and expecting they will find love. Unfortunately, they are mistakenly wrong; instead of obtaining love they end up heartbroken and feeling worse than they did before getting into the relationship. Why is this? It’s because people fail to realize that they must first fall in love with themselves before loving another human being. If you do not know how to love yourself, how are you going to love someone else? If you are afraid to be alone with yourself it’s probably because you have not learned to love yourself.

Loving yourself is more than getting your hair, nails, or buying material things that bring you temporary happiness. Self-Love is a permanent transformation from within. It involves getting rid of those negative messages that you received as a child and cleaning out your spirit. It also involves eliminating people out of your life who do not promote self-love instead they play on your insecurities and weakness and use it to their advantage.

The advantage of loving yourself is not allowing anyone to determine your worth or define who you are, but knowing that you are worthy enough to walk away from all things that are not adding value to your life. You see when you love yourself you learn to put yourself first, you learn to feel good about who you are no matter what people say, you learn to do the things that make you happy, you know how to make yourself happy with or without the presence of other people. Most importantly you know that the only one you should aim to please is God because he is the definition of LOVE. If you want to have a better understanding of how to love your-self and others read (1 Corinthians 13).

“LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT DON’T CONFUSE IT WITH LUST”
“LOVE WITHOUT FAITH & TRUST ISNT LOVE AT ALL”
“IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE TRUE LOVE YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO LOVE FEARLESSLY”

SAVE OUR BLACK MEN & COMMUNITY

Why are so many black men dying? Seem like every time I watch the news there is a sad story about another young black man who was murdered. Even worse 85 percent of the time the perpetrator of the crime is also black. We can’t blame the "white man", we are killing each other. What will it take for black people to come together and stop the violence? It saddens me to think that if the violence does not end soon our black men will become extinct. Some people may think that’s a bit far- fetched; but I believe it is truly possible. According to statistics, blacks represent 13 percent of the U.S. population. This percentage is a small number considering that there are approximately 312 million people in the U.S. Not to mention, the availability of positive black men in the community is scarce. There are more black men incarcerated than any other race. There are also more black men who are unemployed and come from single parent households. It’s evident that there are risk factors associated with violence in the black community; however, not much is being done to prevent black on black crimes and reduce the overall prevalence of violence in the community as a whole.

I believe 'we' as black people need to be proactive in our community and speak up about putting an end to violence in our community. Don’t wait until the news broadcasters arrive on the scene of the crime to speak up, SPEAK UP NOW! We need to write letters to the mayor, the governor and even our president demanding that something be done. We are the ones who elect the politicians into office so we need to hold them accountable to helping us make our communities a safe place to live.

Everyone deserves to live in a peaceful and safe environment regardless of race, economic status or geographical location. There is nothing worse than hearing helicopters flying over your house and gun shots outside of your window while you are trying to enjoy dinner with your family. I am tired of seeing the "Rest in Peace T-shirts", tired of watching the sad homicide stories on the news, tired of our black men dying and our black women crying and I am tired of the "no snitching rule." It's time to do something different, let’s come together and make a difference in our community.
