Shameless plug

Okay, so those of you who know I have two blogs (The Saphyre Lounge) know that I'm long overdue for a posting over there. Well, I'm happy to announce that I'd dusted off the cobwebs in the lounge and posted something.

Special Request

A friend of mine provides time, money, and resources to the
www.miracleranchorphanage.org, which has become a victim of heinous acts of child molestation and abuse. It is my request that each of you visit this site for information; and if you can do nothing else, please pray for the children, those that provide support, and that justice be served in their favor.

I know this would mean a lot to my friend and relieve him of some of the stress he's currently feeling.

Thanks

I came up with this after I received some disappointing news and didn't know how to handle it. I prayed immediately as I supressed the tears welling in my eyes. Later on after pain from supression forced it's way into my chest, I went to a quiet place and just let the tears flow. The following in the outcome of those tears...

"Tears are not signs of weakness, but instead signs of strength because it takes an incredibly strong person to show their weakness or vulnerability." -- Blu Jewel (c) 2007

just stuff

GRATEFUL...
...for knowing God

...for my faith and for knowing the power of prayer and divinity

...for having a voice and using it

...for the yesterday's post as i needed to get it off my chest

...for knowing that i'm a good friend

...for being the kind of parent that mine weren't

...for my family and real friends

...for my blog family

...for the recent bogs that were filled with positive insight and inspiration

...for the vacation i'm gonna take with lil lady

...for the new "man" in my life...he's a lil cutie pie and auntie jewel is gonna spoil him

JUST BECAUSE
...you THINK the world revolves around you; it doesn't and karma is a mutha effa

...you've been friends with someone for a long time; doesn't mean it's a healthy relationship

...you might not get caught, but cheating still aint right

...you're in a bad mood that you need to take it out on others

...it hasn't manifested itself yet; but love, joy, peace, and happiness is waiting for you

FUCK YOU VERY MUCH
...for showing me your true colors

...for being the type of person i'm glad i never became

...for being stupid enough to reveal things that will come back to bite you in the ass later

...for your wide shut eyes cause your dumb ass can't see the forest for the trees

...for affording me the opportunity to run tell dat

I SAID IT, AND WHAT?
...without the truth, words are all lies

...telling you what i knew you might not want to hear was love speaking

...sugar coating shit and calling it candy would be bittersweet

...standing up for myself and those i love

...talking lil lady and my "son" about sex, STDs, and relationships will help; not hurt them

OTHER RANDOM SHIT
...i look kinda cute today

...listening to music is like food for my soul

...live life out loud

...never doubt your integrity or character because someone has made you act in a manner you typically don't. sometimes you gotta get dirty in order to cleanse yourself thoroughly

...say something nice to yourself daily

...feelings aren't right or wrong; they just are

...for today; just be!
