4-21-12 and a few specks in my eyes, lord i ain' t lived a perfect life somebody told me there were 500+ things inthe bible that we're suppose to do and 500+ things in the bible that we ain't suppose to do and i don't think there's an end to a good sermon i love me some jesus and a good sermon and throw in a choir and i just have to shout Stand up and Shine my light, Have Hope, Overcome, Use God's power, and Testify that's what i'm doing when i write, testifying about the goodness of the good lord and i'm going to collect my thoughts and write about Dennis my out out out Gay best friend who died of...no one ever said it was sort of hush hush but i believe he died of complications of HIV anyway we talked so much before he died and i started writing, boy could we talk used to have these 8 to 10 hour conversations when i got my boys to sleep my husband was working nights so i could sit up and talk with dennis about everything, he's the reason i started writing really when i think back on it, the reason my character Emma Jean, an attorney, had a down low husband,now this was back in the early 90s, folks weren't too happy with me i don't think, ON EDGE, was the name of the book and it's raw and edgy and the important publishing folks said it was in the literary genre, there was something to it but they were scared:), i know what was to it, that Dennis was what was too it, he visited me tonight i guess because i been talkin about him, woke me up out of a cold sleep, my mama too, and then,they both said it's ok to feel what i feel and i realized as much as i loved dennis and miss him I never cried, never cried,i think i'm gonna have to stop and think on this and cry, i tell you but don't you say nothing, i cried in my bed while he was visiting and i'm crying right now cause he was so special, president of my high school senior class had the white folks and the black folks skipping and hopping and then he went down to atl and got him some degrees from morehouse, join the kappa, which was wrong, i'm a Delta and my brothers are Omegas, Dennis was soooooooo tall, probably '6,6' i love tall men that's why i married one, dennis met my husband and he approved, we both was lookin at him funny tryin to figure out if he was ok lmbo, lord, i'm gonna go back to sleep, it's in the middle of the night where i am, been reading my bible, John 8:7 Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." that's what Jesus said regarding the adulteress woman and the Pharisee's desire to punish her, i'm gonna remember that always, it's the first thing i remember when folks start talkin about sins in the bible and this and that, i remember John8:7, then go look in the mirror at myself, haha, usually don't have much to say after looking in the mirror, nighty night, love you, this world is complicated thats why we have to pray and just love love love, love u

4-24-12 my friend said she could never write without periods because her English teacher would turn over in his grave, and my friend is an excellent writer has a couple of sitcom ideas being considered and she has a special power, anyway she said her English teacher would turn over in his grave and I said if he's dead, who cares, i was just laughing and  laughing because i think folks care what other folks think about what their doing way too much, i know i have that disease from time-to-time, but most times i say "what you think of me is none of my business," and boy do i mean that when i say it, want to put a period or exclamation mark after that but i'm not gonna stop cause i'm so busy shouldn't be on here and i still am feeling love, in fact yesterday, i saw an old college buddy, Todd, that i hadn 't seen in very long time and when he came through the doors of the restaurant something welled up inside of me and before i knew it i was just crying and crying and it was a sorta of nice LA restuarant, and i was driving there through the hills of Beverly Glen, through Beverly Hills, i was thinking God sho does love this place to make it so dog gone pretty, 35 years i've been here and thinkin the same ole thing and i've been around the world pretty much, but love LA and you and hope your week is startin off just right and you're feelin his anointing, which is nothing more than recognizing his power and guidance in your life, but i believe it can be activated, kicked up a notch by certain people and situations and things, u got it i'm sure so gone and do what you suppose to do, luv u, don't pay me know mind, i'm jus sharing that's all, not trying to preach or prophesize or think i'm special, i just like to share what i know about the goodness of the lord, and i can still have a good time while i do it, another friend who was at dinner with us last night was lookin at me sorta of strange out of one eye like i changed, especially when i ordered my mother's favorite drink, jack daniels and 7up, yep i ordered it, i'm ole enuf to drink what i wanna drink when i wanna drink it, done raised those 3 boys, kept my tall man straight for 35 years, God is saying go on, girl, and i had on this shawl like my mama Dr Georgia Mae would wear:) and anyway my friend, Nanzoola woman, she's a bad, shut yo mouth, defense attorney, was lookin at me outta of one eye, and i said ain't nothing changed cause i'm always talkin about the goodness of the lord, my bigmama gave me that soon as i startin singin "this little light of mine, i'm gonna let it shine" ain't nothing ever gonna change, i'm gonna be me, talk about how Good he is, lean my head back, kick my leg up, and SHOUT, that will never change cause when no body is here with me,God always is, luv u

4-26-12: Recently I asked my preacher if he thought God has separate lines for different sins or if there was a heirachy of sins, likestealing is a 1, adultery a 3, back-biting a 2, gossiping a 6, refusing to answer yo door when yo neighbor knocks, a 5, he just looked at me and said "I don't know or maybe he said no" i don't remember which but he could see i was serious and wanted an answer so i trusted what he said and this morning i woke up wondering if people think they can take stuff with them to the other side, like all that wisdom, them degrees, the positions, the furniture, all that money they got in the bank, u know what i mean, i've heard quite a few good preachers say u can't take it with you, that they ain't never seen a U haul truck following behind a hertz, that makes me laugh big time and so i think i'm gonna empty my self of everything - all my smiles, the wisdom, the love, i'm offering it, giving it all way, ready to start giving away stuff to, i don't need much, got some clothes i need to just give away and gonna try my hand at raising money too and give it all away, homeless people really money, there's alot of people who really need money, more than i do, it will be fun to give away stuff, that will be fun.

Sunday, 4-29-12: I was prepared to just hold space, quietly, today, all my men at home and their energy usually overcomes mine so i move peacefully and quietly around like a cat being the only girl outta of 5 in the house, looking forward to going to church in a little bit, done drank me a couple cups of coffee so i'm fired up, but then I got a text and in a flash things changed for me, learned my sweet friend Minister Cheryl's dad passed to the other side and he was a sweet, handsome 80 something year old, cute as can be, man, i told him how cute i thought he was and he smiled, got a little swagger in his walk and let me know he was something else back in the day, the only thing i'm sad about is that he didn't get any of the tall man's, friend chicken, the tall man remember is my husband, he all of '6 4', yeah he's tall but u know what when i put on my heels i'm 6 feet myself, think i need to be tall today with all these men, gonna where me some heels to church, anyway, Minister Cheryl's lawd can she preach, i been down there at her church in Long Beach just a shoutn and Minister Cheryl's dad was just a lookin and smilin at me and her, he loved him some Lord, he was so proud of her so this morning what i want you to know is when i don't have periods don't stop to put a period after my name, i love folks while they here, tell them how cute they are, and smile and shout, been missin me some Minister Cheryl and hadn't figured out a way to connect to give and receive some love in her space, we all need to stop thinkin so much, throw those periods away, stop thinkin about ourselves and what we do and what we sell and who we think we suppose to be and just love and support other folks, stop holding back, judging folks and 'sayin' she think she that, he think he this, why they do that like this, why didn't she say this, we need to just love and support folks, its free, it's good, and God likes it when we support others and give away our love, give away some love today
