About Me

Harlem, New York, United States
At a very young age I knew I wanted to do anything that involved getting my "opinion" on life out there. I would tell true stories and made up stories. I would sing and dance. I would conduct interviews and draw pictures. I just needed an outlet. My plans were to become a talk show host, until one day my mother pointed out that it would mean I'd have to do a lot of listening too. I realized talk show host wasn’t really going to work since what I really wanted was to talk and have people listen. In time I had to admit that I had much more to say than most people had time to listen to. So, I started to keep a journal. My journals helped me to formulate my thoughts and emotions but I still had no audience. Hopefully this blog will give me that audience. Blessed Be

Thank You for the Reminder

 
Thank you for hurting my feelings; I was reminded of the importance of kindness.

Thank you for pointing out my flaws; I was reminded of my assets.

Thank you for teasing me; I was reminded to have a sense of humor.

Thank you for speaking down to me, I was reminded to stay on my toes.

Thank you for breaking my heart; I was reminded that true love is still out there.

Thank you for deceiving me; I was reminded of those I could rely on.

Thank you for lying to me, I was reminded to believe in myself.

Thank you for surprising me, I was reminded to be aware of my surroundings.

Thank you for turning your back on me, I was reminded of who is always there.

Thank you for denying me your guidance; I was reminded to follow my own instincts.

Thank you for labeling me; I was reminded that I am an individual.

Thank you for calling me names, I was reminded to always define myself.

Thank you for talking about me; I was reminded that I too have had an impact on your life.


Your bad behavior is not about ME at all, it’s about your own feelings of inadequacy.
So, I wish for you more than what you ever wished for me… May you come across kinder people than yourself while on your life’s journey and may you one day find your own peace.

So Mote It Be
