Winter Loneliness...

Winter has been here officially for a couple of months now. This is usually the time when new relationships begin because naturally, human beings crave warmth. Speaking completely honestly, there is nothing better than having another warm body snuggled up against you. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. On a personal level, I've been single for a while now. That doesn't bother me. It hasn't really bothered me for quite some time. However, on nights like tonight, when it's cold and there is snow and ice on the ground, it would be nice to have someone thereto fill that empty place in my life. Just to be able to hold someone right now, not for the sake of being warm myself but more to share the warmth that is in my heart with someone else. It's cold out there ladies and gentlemen and I don't want to shiver anymore. I want to smile a smile of contentment, of pure love on a level that only God can bring me to with the one that He created for me. I want to be able to say or do something funny and have her there with me so that I won't be laughing alone. I have had this wish for quite sometime, felt on numerous occasions that it was about to come true, only to have the bitter cold of hearts that have no idea what real love is freeze me out once again. It is the dead of winter... And I've made it halfway through but I'm struggle with my solitude every step of the way. It's painful to constantly hear what a great man you are and still have no one in your life to show for it... No one to compliment that greatness or to attribute to it. I know I may seem like I'm rambling but hopefully the day will come soon where I'm telling her about these nights I spent alone beforegGod sent her to me. I don't believe my request is too much to ask for. God?

State of Mind Address

We live in a world today where males that can dance like Beyonce are celebrated more than males that graduate high school, college, and go through life without being incarcerated. We live in a world where people are more fascinated and amazed by a female twerking, than a female that is working her way to the top of her field. Babies are still having babies, and grandmas under 30 are becoming the "norm". We live in a time where there is more education available than ever before but we still choose to be ignorant about the decisions we make. We'd rather spread our business, then tell people to stay out of it than to take care of business and make something out of ourselves. We'd rather point and laugh at those who are struggling than to do what we can to help them out of it. We expect that since we were strong enough to overcome things in our lives that everyone else should have that same strength and pull themselves out of the hole they are in. We have so much hatred for our fellow man that we'd watch someone starve or thirst to death while we watch them, holding our own plates of food and glasses of drink. So many messages of love are lost in translation because real love has been misconstrued to the point where it's no longer recognized. We call the people in our lives fake because they don't do what we do the way we do it, or because they disagree with us in some sort of way. We no longer say exactly how we feel in order to get whatever it is off of our chests. Instead, we simply say that we're feeling "some type of way". We have all but lost the ability to think for ourselves because we listen to and believe each and everything we're told instead of finding the real truth for ourselves. We push the people that love us away, then cry about being alone. We date people who we know we shouldn't over and over again then make proclamations that there are no more good men/women left. We fail to take responsibility for the things in our lives that we have the power to change, and we do it all knowing that we can absolutely do better.

We want to claim change and a new "me" in the new year when those very changes should have been made a long time ago and at the end of this coming year, we'll be sitting here saying the exact same thing we're saying now.

What are we going to do?

Seasons of Change (Healthy New You)

November is sitting at our doorsteps waiting to get in. This is the time of year when we begin to reflect on where we are versus where we feel we should be. This is the time where we usually start to proclaim that some changes need to be made in our lives and that in the coming year those changes will be applied. The things is though... If you recognize that something needs to be changed, why wait until you say Happy New Year to do it, when you can begin a Healthy New You right now? Don't drop the ball while waiting for the ball to drop. Change now!
