LET IT GO FOREVER, NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAY!


I had a family member call me for the holiday, to say, "We're still family". What happen to get us to this point was in the summer I had put up with all I could take with her gossip and negative talk about everybody she can think of. That's just not the company I keep.

I figured to myself, that if she talks about everybody else in the family to me, then she probably was talking about me to other members of the family. The "straw that broke the camel's back" was when I was experiencing some serious family issues. Instead of calling to pray with me or encourage me, she started talking about what she heard and wanted me to confirm if it was true.

I politely told her it's not to be discussed and hung up the phone. I haven't reached out to her since....but then, I received a call. Why? Christmas time brings out the best in people. At this point, I let it go, well never held a grudge, just didn't desire to be associated with gossipers. So, in other words, I told her I would come visit soon. Hopefully she's changed.

Do you have people in your family that just love to spread the family secrets around? What ever happened to family unity when "what happens behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors"?

BE GRATEFUL


*If your home alone, be grateful you're alive.
*Not able to be with your family, be grateful you have family.
*Don't have family, that's not true you wouldn't exist if family didn't create you.
*Didn't get the car you wanted, be grateful for that person who drives you around and especially your legs and feet that carries you to the car.
*Didn't get a gift, but you did and failed to realize, right NOW is the present; your heart beat is a gift you didn't have to ask for, but if you're here, you got it.
*Couldn't give a gift, life is the gift the keeps on giving. Your presence is a gift.

The little things we take for granted are really the BIG THINGS that mean the most and without them....breath, heartbeat.....we wouldn't be here to appreciate the SMALLER THINGS....."CHRISTMAS GIFTS".

PARENTS! KEEP YOUR WORD TO YOUR CHILDREN!


As parents we tend to take our children's feeling and emotions for granted just because they are "Our Children" and "they'll understand". That is so far from the truth. If we tell them we are going to do something, take them somewhere, buy them something with specific dates involved, you bet to believe, they won't forget. Better yet, they will be a constant reminder in your ear...most children are. For those who have children that say very little or may not be a nag, doesn't make your word/promise any less important.

Do your best not to break your word/promise unless it's an extreme emergency...that, they will deal better with than if you just "plain ol forgot" or changed your mind and nothing important is taking place of that which you promised. A child disappointed in you begins to lose faith and trust in you....then, who else can they trust?

Remember: Never tell your child to "do as I say not as I do". Instead, let your words be proven by your actions, and be the "Role Model" and "Example" they need in their life that they can model after. Make sure if you keep your word that your children also keep their word to you in following the standards that you set for them.
IMPORTANT: PARENTS! THIS MESSAGE APPLIES TO CHILDREN WHO ARE OBEDIENT AND DESERVING. Ex: If you plan to buy your child a car and he/she just crashed yours......STOP! THINK ABOUT IT!
Ex: If you plan to furnish your child's first apartment once they finish the college you paid for and they drop out.......STOP! THINK ABOUT IT!
The extra perks you give to your children should be conditional and done through positive reinforcement.

Relationships are build on selfLESSness not selfishness.


There are many women who feel they "have it going on".....they have their lives in order, but have a challenge in the area of "RELATIONSHIPS". After just listening to the conversation with many women, I see why they have a problem.....SELFISHNESS. They have a fantasy/false concept in their head of how the relationship should go on a day to day basis. They look through their own eyes at everything and that's a "BIG" mistake.

There is a saying, "Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus." This is so true. Men are very basic and we are so detailed with everything. We must realize that there is a mystery in two separate individuals becoming one in a committed relationship. The person who we know today is totally different tomorrow and we must reacquaint ourselves with this mysterious being.

Ladies, just think , we can be so loving one day and such a "b..ch", the next....that's the mystery of a women that men have to deal with. So, don't you think that he forever goes through changes within himself also. Let's put it this way, if you are lacking something in your relationship, give it....need more love-give more love; need more time-give more of your time or make yourself more available to him when he asks. As for money that's a different issue---If he has no money, he needs no honey.

There is so much to talk about, but this will do for now!

TOUGH LOVE!


When it comes to our children, many times we spoil them because we desire them to have more than we had growing up. I've learned that this can "paralyze" them in using their own actions to go out and work to make their dreams a reality when they get older.

Because we don't teach them that work is the key to productivity, they tend to depend on us for everything, even when they get grow up. Then our eyes are open to what we have created in them....and for me, I have to blame myself. BUT, there comes a time when the giving and helping them out everytime they call must stop and they have to make it on their own.

Tough love is letting go of our children, who are no longer children and allowing them to grow up, by learning what life has to offer on their own. Of course they will make mistakes, but all is a learning experience to do bigger and greater things. Trust the beauty of life to show them the way. They may be upset when you kick them out of the "nest", but will appreciate it in the end when they see they can be all they desire without your help.

Who's really down for you!

When everything in your life is going wonderful and everybody depends on you, You're the Best!
They come to with all kinds of challenges and what do you do, rescue some, give some advice on what to do, encourage or pray with others. For the most part you see them through to the end of whatever they are going through and make sure there is a victory report for them in the end.

But what happens to the one that everyone depends on, when they enter into challenging situations? What happens to most of the people they've lent a helping hand to. For some reason they seem to disappear or better yet, most of them have not the answer, so you are not able to confide in them. When your back is up against the wall, is their someone in your life who can stand between the wall and have your back? If not, the ones who are only with you during good times aren't really Down For You!

Sometimes, you have to encourage yourself. Sometimes you have to speak victory over your own storm. Don't wait for someone to rescue you, rescue yourself! It maybe one person you can depend on, but they may not always be there. So sometimes you can only depend on you to pull you out of the what seems like a "pit" situation.

Every obstacle is covering an opportunity. Every trial covers a triumph. So don't give up. Never be down, always get up or be getting up. Keep going until you see your breakthrough...BE the Miracle! Your miracle comes in your pursuit!

THANKSGIVING FAMILY GLORY!


Many people become more loving, patient, etc. around the holidays. They reach out to loved ones they may not have spoken to in years. They travel the highways, skyways to connect with relatives over a celebration of a FEAST of Food and call it Thanksgiving.

Well some people need this time, because this is the only time we can get some compassion out of them and others just may never feel compassion for others...that's another blog. Anyways, Thanksgiving should mean more than that....it should matter more to you to recognize family and loved ones more often than holidays.

Everyday we also should give thanks, for just the simple things, so we think, but are major, like breath. If we are able to awake to the morning sun, let's be grateful for that and the ability to share time and space with our loved ones who are near..

And for our family that is a distance away that we may never see everyday, let's give thanks that God has allowed them to experience the same essence of life we have. If we're not able to see them...STOP! WAIT A MINUTE! Now thanks to the marvelous invention of the Internet and cell phone we can speak and see the at the same time. So we have no excuses today.

For family members who have passed on, let's not weep, but remember the moments God has allowed us to share with them and be grateful!

NOW THIS IS THANKSGIVING FAMILY GLORY!

There is more stay tuned.

WHAT IS FAMILY GLORY ALL ABOUT?



First, lets clarify what Family Glory IS NOT!

IT'S NOT BETRAYING SOMEONE.

IT'S NOT LYING TO SOMEONE.

IT'S NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE/USING SOMEONE.

IT'S NOT SAYING YOU LOVE SOMEONE AND PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSING THEM.

IT'S NOT CHEATING ON SOMEONE YOU ARE MARRIED TO OR IN A COMMIT ED RELATIONSHIP WITH.

IT'S NOT STEALING FROM SOMEONE.

You can probably add to this list. Well, Family Glory would be the opposite of these factors that hurt people....and only HURTING PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE.

Walk in Love. Forgive those who've done you wrong; not for them, but for you.
Treat people how you desire to be treated, if you absolutely Love You!

EMBRACE and LET GO!


How many of you have family or even friends that will be apart of your life no matter what happens. Those who are not just here for the good times, but who will be there for the challenging times, even when trials may come between you and that person. These are the people you celebrate and appreciate.

There are others that will say they are here for you whether it's family or not, but many are in your life for a "conditional means". Meaning if the conditions are convenient for them and they are in agreement with you, they are there. As soon as "the sh.....t hits the fan", many bail out and basically you're on your own. Some even have the nerve to make their way back into your life when the same has happened to them....what I mean is, they remember how good you were to them, when others have let them down.

Ain't that some SH.......T! Excuse my language, but it is real. And many who are sincere and pure hearted people can be so stupid and naive by allowing the same person to repeatedly do the same thing over and over and over again.
I'm saying this because I'm guilty and now sick and tired of being sick and tired. It's time to shed the leaches so I can move forward in life and embrace even the more those who are for me. Take my advise and save yourself some heartache...do the same. You'll have peace in the end.

DIVORCED BUT FRIENDS


I've been divorced for 10 yrs now, and struggled with my X after the break-up. Why? I wondered, it was over. I wasn't happy the way it ended, but it was necessary. And although it didn't work out after 7yrs., I didn't hold that against him. Well, maybe in the beginning, because my desire was to marry one time, and the children were my concern. But I got over it quick....my X dragged it out for many years. I just let it be and contacted him as little as possible to avoid dramatic arguments.


After many years of not being able to have a decent conversation with my X, my son was the one who made this happen, believe it or not. I had been wanting to get his father to see, that it wasn't about us anymore, but what we could do to still make life easy for our son. Of course my X couldn't see past the bitterness he had for me. So, my son had to suffer.....and this hurt my heart.

Now being a teenager, my son made some demands for us to work this family thing out or he would rebel in the worse way. Guess what, we finally got it together....I thank God for my son. At least one of us had enough sense to take some serious action and bring us back together as a family. I'm not saying my X and I are back together, but we do things still as a family. Why? We are friends and that makes my son a happy young man.

Forgiveness is the Key to make Family Glory a success.

A TIME OF BIRTH AND DEATH1


Oct. 9th my brother celebrates his birthday, but since 2000, he's been going through it because my mom passed away on that day. What he feels is something I will never understand, because it's more than my feelings of hurt I feel. So, one of our rituals is to go to the grave site (both parents are there), and do a little landscaping.

We went this Sunday with my son and his dad and it was a pleasant experience, but moreso a time of healing. We cleaned off the stone and planted huge mumms around it. We also laughed and took pictures. I can see each year being more of a celebration for him of his life and her transition to a higher plane of existence vs. a morbid death. Having family around definitely helps the heart to heal when someone very close to you passes on.

The beautiful thing about it is both of my parents are together....and we love them today more than ever.

LET'S GET REACQUAINTED WITH FAMILY!


Last night I was in the store with my daughter and as we were at the check-out counter talking there was a man in front of us. For some reason, he turned around look me in the face and continued to pay for his items. At first I thought it strange the way he looked at me, until I realized he was my cousin who I hadn't seen for years. He probably didn't recognize me because it was rainy and I had a hat on with the brim pulled down low right to my eyes.
So I said, "I know that's not my cousin who just looked me in my face and turned around?" He turned back around and stared at me with the facial expression as if he knows me, "but who's child are you in my family?".....saying nothing. I told him my nick name, because that is what he remembers me by, and he stood there still as if he was in shock. So, we embraced and my daughter said, "What cousin is this mom?" This is when it hit me. We have gotten so far away from family that live in towns near, it's a shame.
The sad thing about this is our families grew up together and were very close. His grandmother and my mother are sisters. We always had family gatherings for all occasions and especially on Sundays. But since the older generation that held our family together has passed on, we forgot about what was so important to them, and this should be reestablished.

To top it off, we now live in the same town. So, there is no excuse for us to reacquaint ourselves and family. Both of us have daughters two years apart in age that have never met each other.....WE MUST DO BETTER TO GET OUR FAMILY GLORY BACK. IT BEGINS WITH ME AND YOU.
Is this your situation? Is it now just about what you can get for you and your immediate family forgetting about the extension of family you have? This is a serious problem and the reason many of our people have a struggle growing and prospering. Now, everybody puts their family business out there: on facebook, twitter even on the streets....SAD, SAD, SAD,.....instead of helping each other in times of trails.
What are you going to do to change the atrocity that is taking place withing our families?

Friends Til the End!


A friend of mine passed away. It was very sudden and unexpected. But sometime prior to this, we had some differences that really disturbed me and apart of me wanted to end the friendship. Now, there was a higher part of me that just wouldn't allow me to do so, and I'm so glad I listened. I was able to hold on to what was more important, RELATIONSHIP, and this is what "FAMILY GLORY" is all about.

I talked to her in her last days, and before she died, there was a peace and tranquility in her voice. Now that I think about it, maybe that was her way of saying goodbye. I also know now that she needed me to talk to, and if I would have held a grudge, I would feel guilty at this moment. But not today, although my friend has gone away, I'm happy that we maintained our relationship; I HAVE NO REGRETS! THIS IS WHAT "FAMILY GLORY" IS ALL ABOUT!

If you are holding a grudge against someone, LET IT GO, you don't know when they will see you no more. LOVE, EVEN IF IT HURTS---BECAUSE EVENTUALLY IT WILL HEAL! Just another side of the Hair Dr.

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR CHILDREN!


I can pinpoint the time my children really began to have some rebellion issues, but back then, I just couldn't see what was really going on. The transition of my mom who I took care of for two years and right before that, the separation of me and my husband took a toll on my children. Because I was in my own depressed state, I was of no help to them. The communication wasn't there. It was just, "Do as I say!" That was it.

I didn't make available the proper outlet for them to mourn over the loss of two important people in their lives, really three because I was not open to listen to their cry, and that's when the "DRAMA" began. And trust me we went through the fire until I allowed God to work on me. Then my eyes were open to see why I had such a hard time with them.

Once I put myself in their shoes, I realized that it was my fault. I should have been the listening ear, their pillow to cry on, whatever they needed at their time of grief. This wasn't easy, because I was so trapped in my own grief to see they needed me more.

Today, the healing has taken place and we are not picking up the pieces, but have dealt with those issues of the past and with forgiveness and love, our relationship has been restored. Only God made this happen, once I let go and let Him work in our lives.

Parent's do you owe your children an apology for not being the right example for them; not being the listening ear or the open heart to hear their cry. They do have a voice and should be heard. Keeping a healthy relationship with your children based on unconditional love, open communication and taking quality time to be in their presence, will make all the difference in the world.

IT HAS FOR ME. I DIDN'T GIVE UP ON MY CHILDREN, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOURS! YOU CAN TURN THOSE SCARS INTO STARS! I HAVE!

Divine Companionship


Divine companionship is a relationship that is heaven sent. Well, what is heaven sent? When someone comes into your life to add not take away, to encourage and not put you down. And with encouragement comes the truth. The truth may not be something you want to hear, but what you need to hear.

Divine companionship is being with someone who will love you unconditionally and not based upon what you can do for them. Don't get me wrong, this is not to say you shouldn't desire to do different things to make the other person happy, but this is not the foundation of a successful relationship.

If people focus on what they can to enhance the life of their significant life partner, neither will feel they are giving too much. Each should always look to be pleasing to the other and never feel they are going out of their way.

Selfishness has no place in a Divine relationship. Why? This brings stress and pain because it sucks the life out of the one who always desire to please! So, check out how you feel when you think of the person who you are now in a relationship with. Also, give yourself a check up from the neck up, because sometimes you maybe the selfish one.

Men Are Seeking UNIty!

I met two men today in my going to and coming from church.

The elderly one I met this morning was having a conversation with a lady about how people of "color" don't stick together like people of other nationalities. In times past when we did come together for a common goal, there were great results. And this too can happen today! Well he mentioned a few things and I was in agreement with, especially regarding people not being committed in a relationship and as soon as hard times hit or trials come their way, someone always bails out. Now this isn't with everybody, but the majority. The blessing in this was he asked to come to church with me and I welcomed him.

The second man was much younger and he was a cab driver. I spoke with for a while. I asked him about his job and he said his only challenge is "safety" for his own protection. It saddened my heart when he mentioned that he doesn't have to worry about people of other nationalities, his worry is protection from his own people, and of course he was of the "colored" persuasion. How terrible is that. His words, "I shouldn't have to worry or be afraid of my own people."

FAMILY GLORY BEGINS WITH TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN FAMILY FIRST AND THIS MEANS YOUR OWN FAMILY HERITAGE!

Commitment-Men!


What is it with some men who don't desire to commit to one woman? If this is the case, just be upfront from the beginning and she knows what to expect. Even if the woman is pressuring you regarding a relationship, you've made it clear and remind her that she agreed to an open friendship.
If she has a problem with that, then you should walk away, because now comes major struggle. And if you don't walk, she should be smart enough to move on.

HOW CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THE AGREE.
NOW MEN, If you two agreed on marriage, not just you want her to shut up, but because you truly love her and desire to be and stay committed, then don't drag your feet for three, four, fourteen years LOL. Yes, I've seen a fourteen year relationship that finally resulted in marriage because she was leaving. Well, I say the fool should have done that a LOOOOONG time ago.

Take Care of Family!


What do you do when a family member is sick? You take care of them or get the help they need if it is beyond your control. What I mean is; do the best you can do first, and if their sickness/illness goes beyond your wisdom, then and ONLY then do to seek help.

This is what FAMILY GLORY is all about.
Today, I called one of my sisters (she isn't my biological sister, but my spiritual sister). The voice I heard on the other end wasn't her normal lively voice. As a matter of fact, I could hardly hear her. I immediately went to her home and it took her a while to open the door. But, she did say something, so I wouldn't break in the door to get to her.
Well, she was vomiting and walking slumped over, with a cup a coffee in her one hand and some Midol in the other. You tell me what was the problem with that picture.
Well, as a Holistic Health Counselor, EVERYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE. I immediately took the coffee, threw it out and put the Midol to the side. I don't use prescription or over-the-counter drugs. So, for me to help her, I had to use my "Natural Remedies". I gave her:

1. Warm water with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with a little honey (for taste).
2. Herbal extracts for the blood and energy and to increase oxygen flow.
3. Blended in Rice Milk, pure Coconut Cream Powder and Green Magic Tablets that I use from the Holistic Clinic where I work.
After five minutes, I had her get out of bed and walk around. Then she sat up in the bed and I gave her room temperature water with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar again. Now she is up and getting dressed to go take care of her business for the day. God's remedies work better than any other.

Does Your Distance make you more distant?


When you grow up and begin your life as an independent young man/woman, don't forget where you came from. Many people, when they get married and start building their own families, forget about the ones who took part in raising them.


Don't allow your distance no matter how far you move away, keep you more distant. If you're not able to travel to visit, then pick up the phone and call every now and then. What gets to me is if you don't live that far away and still "don't have time" to stop by or call. MAKE THE TIME! I have been guilty, but I check myself and do everything to make things right with those who helped my parents raise me (God rest their souls).


The people who have raised us are getting up their in age and need someone to check on them and help them out. The've helped to mold us and shape us, so let's just reach back and give a helping hand/a loving hug of help.


Remember; one day you will get old!

Stay in the Present of your Relationship!


Building a life with someone is more than just a relationship (stationary), but relating (flowing). We must realize that our husband/wife or companion is forever changing each day just as we are-that's the mystery. We must relate to relate again each day without really reaching into the archives of the past to attempt and figure him/her out today/in the present. Just look at the word PRESENT-it is always a gift to be opened at that moment. So be excited each moment to open the gift of who the one you love is and you'll never lose.

A Mother's Inner Beauty; Inner Strength!


Growing up, I've learned from my mother nurturing beauty from within, by loving who God created me to be. She was a very spiritual woman who was at church every time the doors opened, and she built our family life based upon biblical principles. What stood out to me was her inner beauty that radiated out through her gentle personality and striking sophisticated yet conservative appearance. Even if she was going to a corner store or just to get the mail, she wouldn't step foot out of the home unless she was presentable from head to toe. That I do till this day.
I know my father loved her dearly because of the man, husband and father she helped him to be. Why? He wasn’t always “saved”, but she never gave up on him. Because of her unconditional love for him, he remained faithful to her and she to him until they both departed from this life. As a result of their love, I have 5 real blood siblings whom I love dearly.

FAMILY BUSINESS IS NOT EVERYONE'S BUSINESS!


As I was growing up, when challenges happened in the home, it stayed in the home. The family and only neighbors that were close to us, if need be, knew the situation and pulled together to be the support system.

Today, many people "air their family's dirty laundry" so to speak. This is terrible. Why? Neighbor's today are just looking for something to gossip about. Or because there is so much jealousy and lack of trust, many are just looking for a downfall in someone's life so they can laugh about it. How sick and sad!

But, it really goes back to family not sticking together. Wives talk about their husbands and children, husbands about their wives and children, etc., to people who can't really help them. And before you know it the whole community and people in the workplace know what's going on, but no one really offers to help!

We need change NOW! Do this analysis. At the end of the day before you lay your head down to sleep, look around you to see who is there with you or who you can really call that will help uplift, counsel and encourage you. Those are the people who will be there for you no matter what. Everyone else, KEEP THEM OUT OF YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS.

FAMILY GLORY-What does it mean?


Well, I'll tell you what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean I have the perfect family...let me correct this. I have the perfect family for me. Does this mean that we live on the clouds and everything is perfect? No, not at all.

My family have been through a lot of turmoil, trials, challenges that if I shared, some of you would stop complaining. Where you complain is where you remain anyway, so there's nothing useful coming out of it. Knowing that everything is subject to change gives my family hope to anchor our souls and keep us holding on to each other not allowing the other to let go.

I know that having family is a blessing, but the GLORY comes through the hard times, trials, sticking together when people want to see you fall, fail. But a family's foundation that is rooted in God can never fall or fail, no matter what it looks like. Why? God is a God of family and what God has joined together, I refuse to let people or circumstances destroy.
So we are never down, but always up or getting up (took that one from my mentor)! Love it. And yes he is a part of my Family-My God Father. It is by his love that helps us whenever we are in need. God will give you family, spiritual family that demonstrate prayer, love and support at all times.
FAMILY GLORY IS DEMONSTRATING LOVE AND UNITY even in the press, stress and challenging times not just when everything is "PEACHY"!
BE BLESSED, DON'T STRESS! LOVE ENDURES ALL.....AND....THE TRUTH WILL OUTRUN A LIE ANY DAY!
NEVER GIVE UP! JUST KEEP GETTING UP!

BETRAYAL!

Have you ever been betrayed by a family member? How did you feel? How did you react/respond?

Well, I've been betrayed and it nearly destroyed my children and our relationship. I do believe if I wasn't a mother that was and still is faithful to my spiritual development-prayer & study life, my spiritual mentor (Pastor) and ministry, we would have been consumed.

I can say that, the trials are soon to be testimonies and some of them have already. My focus isn't on what I see, but what I desire to see and I thank my creator for it-AND THIS IS THE MAGIC OF TURNING ANY SITUATION AROUND FOR THE GOOD!

I focus my attention on helping others and in return my help comes. It's the law of reciprocity that works even in your adversity to iron it out so you can advance in life. But, we must be open hearted to just see it for what it is...and in all things forgive! Not for the person who has hurt you, but for you so you can remain free of them and the power they attempt to hold over you.

Remember Hurting people Hurt people. Never expect and you will not be disappointed. Just do what is right; for right has it's own reward.

I FIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF MY FAMILY AT ALL COSTS OF RIGHTNESS!

FAMILY MATTERS MOST!

Family Values and Morals are missing today!

Family love is very important to me. What comes with it is family values and morals. Being the youngest of six I learned a lot by watching how my parents interacted with each child individually and the six of us as a whole. But the foundation of learning family love was watching their relationship.

First of all, in my parent's generation they valued relationship-Relationship with God and following His Laws and RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER. No matter what my parent's went through: challenges, struggles, disagreements, arguments, they vowed -TILL DEATH DO WE PART- and that's exactly what they did. God bless their souls because they both have passed on.

I do believe that if it wasn't for my mother, who was raised in a family whose first priority was Church and everything else came afterwards, our family would have been a mess, scattered, separated, having sibling rivalries/wars against each other. It was her prayers and faith that kept us. I know this because my dad was a hunter and fisherman, who only stepped foot in a church is when someone died.

I say that to say, your foundation is very important for your family to flourish or decay? Anything doesn't go today! Take a look around at our children who are lost. Somethings happened to the foundation. Let's get back to family values and morals based on principles of righteousness.
