GOOD BYE 2011….HELLO 2012

Well it's that time of year again….. Time to wrap up 2011 and welcome 2012 hopefully with a positive outlook. We all know that once the New Year comes we all make promises of a clean and new start. While some folks embrace the good intentions of others. Some folks find it a little bit unnecessary to say things you know you will not do. Here are my thoughts on it. Some say why wait to the New Year; I am a firm believer that if someone wants to change I support them. Sometimes you can really impact a person by being supportive. We all get to a place of understanding at different times, so just because you find God, lose weight, stop smoking, etc at a certain time in your life does not mean everyone has to come to that understanding. We are quick to judge the who,what,why of others when we should focus on your own personal growth. While in Wal-Mart during the Christmas holiday I overheard some ladies discussing why such and such at work saying how she is going to lose all this weight starting the first. While standing there is became very apparent that these ladies were jealous of her. If she is fat and out of shape as they claim she is they really should be happy for her, and support her. On the way home all I could do is think about the fact that I did not want to be those women. I would like everyone who reads this post to think about all the things they would like to change about yourself and write it down seal it up and in June look at it and see have you made an effort to work on your changes. 2011 has been a great year but I am super excited to see what 2012 and beyond holds for me!!

Put A Ring On It…….

Why is it so hard for the new generation of men to get married? That has been the million dollar question here lately and after watching the T.I& Tiny show, it has us ladies wanting to know. Not saying that a man should marry the first good chick he meets. But if you are dating someone for 6 or more years, I think it's safe to say the next step should be marriage. I totally understand if the relationship is mutual and you both agree marriage is not something you want. But to be with someone that long and not feel she is worthy is "B.S". I don't care how much a man love a women and how everyone knows it, the only thing that continuing to be with her proves is she is good enough to be with but not to marry. Ladies I am not about to let you off the hook (myself included) if marriage is what you want you need to make it CLEAR. And if that's not what he wants you have to be strong enough to walk away. Of course you don't want a man to think he has to marry you the first day he meets you, but he has to be open to the idea of marriage and he has to know you will not be with him for a million years and don't get a ring!! I think men and woman are afraid of the unknown, and with marriages ending everyday it seems as if marriage is not the thing to do. One thing that really bothers me is when people speak about being married to married couples and they try to discourage them not to be married. Every couple and relationship experience different things so don't put the weight of you marriage on others. While talking some years ago with a group of co workers, the question about marriage came up and the person that was married simply said "its hard work, but when done right it's a beautiful thing" this was coming from some who had been married and divorced. It would have been too easy for her to bash marriage, but for what? Life deals everyone a different hand so don't compare yours with the next persons. While watching a TV show Sunday and Niecy Nash made a comment about love " that's the reason we are here is to be in love and love others, if you lose that you have lost you reason for being here" not exactly in those words because she actually said it better…. But I totally agree with her!!! LIVE AND LOVE…… And when it knocks you down get up again!!

World Aids Day 2012

World Aids Day is celebrated on December 1^st…… I AM BEGGING that everyone go and get tested!!! If you are having sex you should be tested every six months. That way if you have any type of STD you can catch it early; Some STD'S can go unnoticeable for 90 days. Please don't take your health or life for granted it only take about 30 minutes every six months. Even if you are dating someone or married please do not put your life in someone else hands. Something that I recently adopted was going to get tested with my mate if he/she has an issue with that you don't need to be sleeping with them. African Americans are being hit the hardest by HIV/AIDS and it is mostly because of lack of knowledge and laziness. Make sure to spread the word…. If you live in Galveston County then Come to the 4 C's clinic at 4700 Broadway from 10-1 & 4-6 come get a FREE test!! Food will be available as well as commodity food bags and door prizes!! If you live in surrounding areas please contact your local health department for a list of events in your area... You can also support by wearing red or a red ribbon!!
