Just woke up with so much on my mind. I feel so very fortunate for my experiences thus far. I look forward to greater and even more prosperous experiences in the future. It has been a challenge and everything that happens does not seem like it is in my favor…but it is. The truest blessing is to be alive with the ability to try and try again. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! I dont care what anybody says….DO NOT GIVE UP!!! We are so powerful and recently the starts have aligned for us. The shift has happened for us. Our minds are changing. We recognize our power. We are no longer in darkness.

As I type this I am becoming new. I am embracing my oneness with the universe. I thank my ancestors for their guidance and protection. I move into 2013 bold and deliberate. I expect good things, high vibrations, prosperity and enlightenment. I expect my circle of friends and family to understand who we are and act accordingly. We are the children of the creator with access to the storehouse. We are AMAZING!!! We deserve the best and we are grateful for it. We welcome 2013 as the year of realized dreams. God is Awesome and so are YOU!!!!

Django Unchained – Spike Takes A Stand

Posted on by

People who have known me for quite some time know I am a huge fan of Spike Lee. Most of my favorite movies are Spike Lee joints. In my opinion Spike Lee does amazing work when it comes to filmmaking. He also does an amazing job at telling the story of African Americans from all different facets of life. So when I was watching an interview he did with Vibe earlier this week the interviewer asked Spike if he would speak on the new Quentin Tarantino movie Django Unchained his response resonated with me.

Image

He said: “I can’t speak on it …I’m not gonna see it. I’m not seeing it. All I’m gonna say is it would be disrespectful to my ancestors to see that movie. I can’t disrespect my ancestors. Now that’s me. I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody but myself.”

I respect Spike as a filmmaker. I appreciate his candor. He rarely ever holds his tongue. I understood his response. I understand the seriousness of recognizing our ancestors and honoring them. His response almost compelled me to take a similar position. However I was intrigued and wanted to see how Quentin Tarantino would approach this story of a slave getting revenge.Image

There will be NO SPOILERS in this review. If you are expecting some super political extra emotional movie about the African Holocaust/Slavery, this is definitely not the movie for you. Quentin stays true to form. He delivers the story of Django in the form of a spaghetti western. What’s most interesting about this film are the moments when the audience is left to decide if they should laugh or be offended. Leonardo De’Caprio and Samuel Jackson play their parts to perfection.

ImageI appreciate the way Jamie Foxx approached the character. There is a sense of dignity that he manages to maintain in the midst of this film that makes it quite believable. I couldn’t stop looking at Kerry Washington without thinking about Olivia Pope…HA!.. Sorry…I wonder how she is gonna help Huck out of this latest jam…….ANYWAY…Overall it was a very good film but the depth of my experience was realized after the movie was over.

As I walk out of the theater there is this feeling of…”What did I just watch?” Another thing that I noticed was the eye contact I was getting from other black men as if they had felt the same way that I did. I could tell who just saw Django by the look they had on their faces.

The story of The African Holocaust/Slavery in ImageAmerica has NEVER truly been dealt with. I know why Spike Lee feels the way that he does. Ultimately this is a movie. The last person I would expect to tell the story of The African Holocaust/Slavery properly would be Quentin Tarantino. With that being said I look forward to Spike Lee providing us with something that will speak to the hearts of the world, evoke change and restore the sense of dignity we have lost in our community. It is up to us to tell our stories.

We were free before freedom was given to us.

Oh Yeah…I give “Django Unchained” 4 stars out of 5. :-)

What Ladies Love – “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown? Explain.

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the seventh topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

Last weeks question was “How do you know when the person you are with is the one?“Everyone has their own perspective as to who “The One” is. One thing I notice is that as individuals many of us have so many requirements or expectations when it comes to others. However the truest source of our happiness is within us. It matters how we see ourselves. What makes us who we are? Are we just one way or are there many facets to who we are?

The questions have been very general as of late, however this segment is called What Ladies Love. In the spirit of staying true to this segment I present you with this weeks question. “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown? Explain. (Don’t feel like you are restricted to these choices.)

I’m anticipating some great response to this question. Check out the responses below. Leave a comment. I’m curious as to what you think of yourself. :-) 

Image

Renee said: “Ok, I’m like a chameleon with styles. A business suit could be the better, although I’d be comfortable in all picks.”

Nakisha said: “The black mini represents my youthfulness and playfulness. I am a fun loving girl. That down to earth girl, I got your back your back girl. My ball gown is my mature womanhood. I am wife, mom and whatever my man desires of me. The pinstripe suit is the “I will kick your ass with my knowledge, conversation peace of mind and stamina side of me.”

Robyn said: “I would be a sundress, because they are sexy without even trying.”

Ebonie said: “If I was to have a dress that would describe me it would actually be a pinstripe suit mini skirt with an exquisite blouse underneath the suit blazer jacket. I say this because I wear so many hats. I’m a woman of diversity. I do so many things like most women do. We play so many roles in the lives of people around us and still have the time to look good, feel good even with that S on her chest. I can adapt and blend in anywhere, anytime at any moment.”

Image

Now since I’m a guy…I would say that the best way to describe my personality is urban business casual. I think I just coined a new term…HA! I consider my personality all encompassing, meaning I’m not one particular way all the time. I think that’s the beauty of being alive. Our experiences help to shape who we are and our perspective. I feel as though when we are being who we truly are at all times that it will always align us with the right people. Now tell me what you think. Leave a comment below.

Ladies Love Scandal….Huck didnt do it.

Posted on by

First off allow me to take this moment to shout out Shonda Rhimes. This is a well written show with a great cast. Chicago is proud of you!!

Now..For the past 2 months or so Thursday has been a busy day on social networks. Scandal hash-tags fill my timelines. My original intent was not to watch this show. However, my curiosity got the best of me. I was able to catch up on the first and second season up to the part where Fitz (President) is shot.

I admit I have my reservations about this show. The love triangle in its most basic sense concerns me. I also have issue with this “job” that Mellie (First Lady) thinks that Liv (Fixer) does with respect to the presidency……anyway…Im not going to get all hyper historical and political and righteous..lets get to the real subject at hand…

***SPOILER ALERT****

Huck DID NOT shoot Fitz.

The final scene ends with Huck (Ex Cia Spy/Hacker) scooping up bullets off of a chair with gun in hand to give the viewer the impression that he just shot Fitz. IM NOT GOIN!!

This show does a great job at moving around a lot of pieces. Sometimes information can get lost in the shuffle. The one thing I notice is that the main characters stay consistent with respect to who they are.

Clearly Huck is a spy who has committed heinous crimes in the name of the government. He has a very particular set of skills; skills that he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that will make a nightmare for most people. HA!… Shout Out To Liam Neeson and “Taken”

Huck is on the road to redemption. He finds enjoyment in his work. He understands that there is something wrong with it. He joins Alcohol Anonymous to work on his addiction to “Whiskey”. He meets a girl…she doesn’t mind that hes a weirdo. He made an impassioned speech to save the life of a fellow spy (It didn’t work). He turned a corner.

The one murder he should have committed he didn’t do. These ex CIA spies have some type of keen sixth sense. Huck knew something was going to happen after listening to the static on the radio and went there to stop it. He got there too late and had to rush out before he was spotted.

Image

……In the episode previous to this one Charlie (Ex CIA Spy) comes back into town after being “instructed” to leave by Huck. Charlie makes a call to one of his many clients and mentions he is ready to get back to work (killing people).

I know who shot Fitz.

Charlie shot Fitz for Hollis Doyle (Rich Guy) in order for him to regain his influence in the White House. Sally Langston (Vice President) and Quinn were in on it.

What Ladies Love – How do you know when the person you are with is the one?

Whats Good World!!!!!

Welcome to the sixth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

Last weeks question was “What is your idea of a soulmate? How do you know when you have found yours? Have you found yours?” What I love about doing this blog aside from being able to promote the release of my Ep “Ladies Love Mixtapes” is that so many of the responses I get are so honest and no one is pulling any punches. I never knew that there were so many different perspectives to the idea of a soulmate. Who knew that you could have met your soulmate and it does not have to be romantic. Thank you to all of you who took time to answer last weeks question.

This weeks question was presented to me by Ashley Webb. Here it is…..

Question

How do you know when the person you are with is the one?

Image

Ashley is either looking for the one, or she has found the one. AWESOME either way. Check out a few comments below. Post comments. Im curious as to what you may think. :-)

Yolanda said: “When you love them for their perfections and flaws. They become your best friend and you can’t go a day without thinking about them and hearing their voice. You just know….”

Fabian said: “When that person fills in every part of you life that was empty and makes you better than before.”

Camrin said: “Hmmm, I believe I will know if the person is the one by the way they treat me not only while I am in their presence but also when we are not together. Is he just as attentive as he was when we first met? Is he selfless and appreciative in the relationship. Will he make me smile more than he would make me cry. I believe “the one” for me is not perfect but he would be the perfect one for me.”

Tanisha said: “So my disclaimer is that the answer to this question is currently still being defined and I know many may find too esoteric. However, “the one”? Im not even sure there is One. My simple answer is you cant know the one until you know who you really are. True love is not selective or exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but ego. I think there is a perfect and divine mate for everyone and for me, you will know your true mate when you stop seeking. Seeking is the antitheses to happiness but most important when he reveals himself you instantly recognize yourself in the other. This is a big statement because so many of us don’t really know who we are? Everything I covet, love, trust, security and 100 other things I have to realize reside in me. You allow “the one” to come into your life because there is no ego, desire and wanting. The one will give me joy which arises within me vs. pure pleasure that can only be obtained in some seeking outside of me or through someone else.”

Pam said: “My Guy has my back , through good times and bad I know he is the One!!!!”

From my perspective I would say the person who accepts you for who you are totally is the one. I would venture to say that we have all entered into relationships with our “representative” painting the best possible picture of who we are. However we all have quirks and imperfections. Im all about building a partnership and a team. We have to know who we are inside and out. Only the ONE will be able understand this. Thats just a bit of my 2 cents. I am more interested in what you think. Leave a comment below!

What Ladies Love – What is your idea of a soulmate? How do you know when you have found yours? Have you found your soulmate?

Posted on by

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the fifth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

Last week I asked “When is the right time to introduce your mate to your children? How do you do it?” I can tell by many of the responses and the comments that I read that our children are paramount in our lives. We should take precaution when involving them in our relationships. Many of the choices we make for our own lives affect our children deeply. Thank you to all of you who took the time to answer last weeks question.

This weeks question comes from my cousin Cool V. I think thats awesome because the ladies have been asking fo some input by the gentleman. So…Here it is!!…..

Question

What is your idea of a soulmate? How do you know when you have found them? Have you found your soulmate?

Image

 

Cool V has had the privilege of finding his soulmate. WAY TO GO CUZ!!! Check out a few comments below. Leave comments. Im curious to read what you think. :-)

Ebonie said: “To me I think people misconstrue what a real soul mate is. To me it’s not a perfect person it’s not the perfect man is the person who takes all of your fault and looks at you for who you are and said I still want to be with that person I can be with that person forever no matter what if they’d never changed from this day forth that is the person for me. And vise versa. Everything in your being attractions to this person no matter if they make you mad one day piss you off to next that person is forever connected to you by some type of force and if it’s not something that you can let go. You will fight to the ends of the earth to stay with this person. And that person will also fight for you. What you lack they make up and vise versa. That’s my take on it.”

Danita said: “My idea of a soul mate is someone who you honestly are not seeking out but someone who lives you for who you are. The love that is shared may be unknown to the woman but as it says in the Bible…a man is suppose to seek his wife and not the other way around. You have to be patient and wait. You can not rush or try to make someone your soul mate. It’s natural!!”

Charlene said: “Good question. I believe you will just know. It is something I can’t put into words. I believe in soul mates only because I have seen people so connected to each other they must be soul mates.”

Gwen said: “A soulmate is someone who is totally connected to you mentally physically and emotionally. You know you have found that person when they instinctively know what and how you are feeling as do you there is an ease of communication..and yes i have found mine.”

Carmella said: “Our souls must be connected to God in order to be directed to our Soulmate. You must both put God first in order to Love each other! Remember God Is Love! I knew I found mine when his love for God was as deep as mine! I also believe the eyes are the key to our souls and the truth. No matter our differences our flaws we will stay strong as long as our foundation (Which is God) can not be destroyed. What God put together may no man tear under! So stop looking for perfect love in imperfect people and let him lead the way!”

 

I love that these ladies are being so honest. As for me, at one time I thought that I did find my soulmate.However I was mistaken. I still believe they do exist. Sometimes I think I forced the issue as if I wanted this person to be ment for me so bad that they had to be my soulmate. I must admit I am kind of a romantic at heart. What I think is important is that the idea of the search has to be eliminated. I feel as though we are always connected to the people that we should be connected to. The moment that we come across the one who is the mate for our souls, our soul will tell us. I get excited just thinking about that moment. Anyway…I want to read what you you have to say about the subject. Leave a comment below. –Precise

What Ladies Love – When is the right time to introduce your mate to your children? How do you do it?

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the fourth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

The answers to last weeks question “What do you consider a deal breaker in a relationship?” were very interesting. The number one deal breaker is LYING. To be honest I was surprised I didn’t see anyone mention money. Im learning more and more each week. Sometimes are expectations maybe totally different from what people are actually thinking.

I sent out a few messages asking for a good question for this week and I got flooded with great ones. I could only choose one. Dont worry…Ill be using the others for the coming weeks. 

This weeks question comes from Sondra. She asks “When is it the right time to introduce your mate to your children? How do you do it?”

I cant wait to see the answers for this one. Children are always a sensitive subject. By the way Ladies, invite the men over to participate. Share this blog on your FB, Twitter and Google +. Lets build this dialogue. 

Question

When is the right time to introduce your mate to your children? How do you do it?

Image

This one is going to be interesting….check out a few comments below. Leave comments. Im curious to read what you think. :-)

Rachel said: “Being a single mom and their sole provider its hard not to introduce your kids to someone especially since they’d be at your home. However I don’t allow them to see any sort of affection or spend time with that person. Does that make sense? I don’t want a bond to develop or them to see lots of guys hugging or kissing their mom.”

Rhonda said: “The right time to introduce your mate to your children is when the two of you have been dating for a while depending on how the relationship is going I would say 6 mths. If you have small children try a public place to see how they interact with the kids and if your children are older maybe over dinner”

Maria said: “That all depends on the children ages. If you have very small children/ toddlers, I would only bring my mate around when they’re not present. I would only have male company when they were asleep or visiting their dad for the weekend. If you have older kids/ grade school age, I would first introduce them in a group setting, fam function, family outing, something like that where there’s already a lot of other people around so its not so intimate and obvious. If you have teenagers/ high schoolers, it is what it is, I would say: “this is such and such, we’re going to dinner, be right back” (no explanation really needed).”

Faith said: “This is a toughy. U shouldn’t introduce your mate to your children unless you are certain that you want your mate to be a permanent part of your life.  I think You should gradually acclimate your mate to your kids. No forced bonding. A little time here, a little time there.”

What Ladies Love – What do you consider A Deal Breaker in a relationship?

Whats Good World!!!!

Welcome to the third topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

The last few weeks have been eye opening. Once you are blessed to meet the person who can meet a majority of what you seek and can add joy to your life you must cherish them. I know Im not the only one who has been on this “search” for a while. I have been in a few relationships and we have parted ways for a number of reasons. Most times we separate is because of something that either of us could not tolerate. A #DealBreaker.

Question:

What do you consider a deal breaker in a relationship?

Image

Im anticipating some great answers to this…check out a few below. Leave comments. Im curious to read what you think? :-)

Nakisha said: “The deal breaker for me is allowing me to be with u and u never really wanted to be with me, and lying not giving me a choice.

Carita said: “No comprise and not wanting children.”

Shaquira said: “This could be a good or bad thing but truthfully, a deal breaker would be the fact that the attraction is not there anymore, and this maybe selfish but maybe the relationship is just not what you want anymore.”

The Pr Guru said: “I won’t date man with kids, who smokes,gambles and drinks excessively! My type of man is a manly man sort of speak! Lol he takes charge and wears the pants and goes beyond to make me feel loved and safe!”
