So much has changed since I started this blog. As a country, we are failing; as a people, it is even worse. There is so much hate, women being harmed and in abusive relationships. Many are afraid to be alone, so we settle for less than. Our friendships are the same. We want people to put up with our foolishness, and we blame everything on others. We gossip and talk about others, but how dare you say anything about what I do. I am older today; wow, so much older. I still desire to help others, but I've learned to say less and observe more. Let's remember to speak truth to power and not put up with others' lack of respect. There is so much I want to say. I will come back later. I love you.

The gun and the bullet
My heart aches; I miss you so much. If my love could have given you life, you would live forever. I know you are at peace now. Being selfish, I waited for you to return. Rest Well, baby. Until we meet again. You were loved and YOU were love.

Why beat innocent people..I'm going to bed. I leave you with this!!!!
People moving out
People movin' in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
Well, the only person talkin'
'Bout love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems,
Nobody is interested in learnin'
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration,
Integration, aggravation,
Humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walk around with
Their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time
And, the beat goes on
Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon
Kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything
And the band played on
So round 'n' round 'n' round we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that's what the wold is today
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast,
The Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is
On an indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand
Suicide, too many bills, hippies movin'
To the hills
People all over the world, are shoutin'
End the war
And the band played on

Glory glory, hallelujah since I laid my burden down. I can hear mom sing that song even though I had not heard her voice in years. How I miss you mother (she would say mother what lol every time). I remember the day so vividly. It was a beautiful sun shiny day. I was cleaning the liter box. My uncle called I missed the first call but he called back he said I needed to get there it was a code blue. I often have conversations with God and quickly the Holy spirit started ministering to me. My mom was a fighter but i knew she was tired. My mom was very scary, so I had been reading the Bible to her, playing gospel music and praying with her. I watched her as she looked out the window fearing what we knew was inevitable I would say just call on the name of Jesus you can do that right she would nod yes. I couldn't understand why I left my job when I did. I was not ready financially ...my 401k was really a 401 may......but this moment as I rushed to the hospital and God spoke again I am your source. I put out a 911 to you guys asking for prayer. My daughter wanted me to drive faster, but God said take your time. As I arrived they were working on her, her body coming up off the bed with every shock. I stood there but not really being there, my mind flooded with thoughts.....I shouted no screamed I TRUST YOU......my baby was, hysterical and my uncle stoic .....he loved his sister. I think he saw her everyday. My heart was heavy for our family. It would be hours before they pronounced her dead......but God kept ministering to me. I knew. Be strong Barbara, that was my mom speaking. . Remember all the things you spoke to me. I trusted God and I was standing on my faith. He has not failed me yet. I miss my mother so much . The dynamics of this family forever changed.....realizing today that she was the only reason we all really came together. I made her a promise and that I will keep. I miss you mommy!

The world didn't give it to me. ..........I've fought all my life, my best friend bullied me and was jealous......so I'm used to haters. But, please believe please, I'm not a little girl anymore. I make a conscious effort to be who I am. I'm not going to shrink so you can appear large. I have genuine love for all people. I'm an equal opportunity lover of people and life.
If I can't help you, surely I won't hurt you. Your hate elevates..me....I see you....soon it will alleviate....you Praying for you and praying for me too.can
