Famous vs For Real Deal

          Yes that's right!  We learned honesty and respect when walking into the classroom on the first day of kindergarten.  Maybe some are too old, forgetful or refuse to believe we all learned how to be respectful to others (without touching) with our words.  The words used today in songs, social media posts and toward one another have been a cause for division.  This type of division used to be between races only.  Now, it's within the races also.  Why?  More importantly, who is creating this division within each race?  No matter who has started it or how they began it, WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT AND CHANGE IT!  How?  Lets start with RESPECT!  Once we truly have respect for ourselves, we can have it for another.  Easier said than done, huh?  Yet, positive reinforcements, goals, spirituality and healthy living are great starts!  The main objective is consistency.  Self...

          Deteriorating City                         The silent manipulation unfolding among our creation Violence rising, adultery exposed, children shot as they sleep, teens die waiting for a ride to be educated, elderly beaten while just trying to enjoy independence. We watch as surrounding buildings crumble, monuments are distorted with graffiti; gangbangers rob the poor and needy. Shameful actions covered by joyful expressions of so-called power. Mimicking what has been seen, displayed, shown, mocked by small snippets of television faction or media competition for action. Information to some, ignored by none.                Lives taken for granted by no one age group                specifically.         ...

The Real Disability-Part 1                How do I start?   Normally I’d start by saying:   “I’m tired”!   Yet, I’m not tired…..I’m inspired!   Inspired to learn all I can and share all I know about being loved, hurt, smart, creative, dumb, happy, sad, and any other emotion a real human can experience.   Sharing can help.   Shame and secrets hurt!   Aren’t there enough examples of the shame and secrets in the media?                  Often hearing I’m too young to be experiencing the things I have and still do, leave men speechless.   No doctor has the answer, no friends have the remedy, no bottle is deep enough and no drug continuously takes anyone that high.   The last 10 years of my life have been one challenge after another.   Trying to give up over and over and over and over and ov...

IMPACT WHEN IT HAPPENED IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE. THERE WAS NO SUBJECT, NO CONTENT, NO COMPROMISE. ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO INJURE MY SOUL BUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENDED TOOK A GRAND TOLL. LIFE WAS DIFFERENT AND VERY HARD TO ACHIEVE NO ONE KNEW THE REAL PAIN IT WOULD LEAVE. THE PHYSICAL HURT WAS NOTHING TO COMPARE. THE ONLY THOUGHT RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD WAS… IT’S SO UNFAIR. LIFE GOES ON AND GOALS ARE WITHIN REACH BUT SHE MADE A GREAT IMPACT, SOME THING YOU CAN’T TEACH.

Depression and Social Media                        Selena Gomez has taken a break from social media due to a mental breakdown.   People are assuming she had the breakdown because her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber became engaged to Hailey Baldwin.   A small number of people have considered the fact she recently had a kidney transplant and is battling Lupus.   She has also admitted to the media she has battled with depression.   The girl is only 27 or 28 years old!   Plus she is a famous singer among other things.   Miss Gomez has a lot more to deal with other than thinking about Mr. Bieber getting engaged.   Yes, it may be on her mind but more than likely, one of the last things.                Depression is real!   More than 18 million people suffer from depression, according to Hope for Depression Re...

Cancer Sucks! Written by Ann J. Gold Cancer sucks!   If you see that bitch, tell her I’m looking for her! I got my braces and cane to beat her ass to a pulp If see brings her punk ass friends, chemo and radiation, I got something for them too! I’m tired of her taking my loved ones through turmoil, heartache and pain I’m going to punch that bitch in the face! Screaming, yelling and crying won’t work against her, but I have the most powerful weapon The Lord has the final say! I place my hope, faith and strength in HIS word! It says: No weapon formed against thee shall prosper So take that Cancer, wit you wack ass! *use of language may disturb some as there is a reference to the Lord in the same poem; only used as an expression of anger toward the disease

                       The world has changed so much. I’m beginning to wonder how to explain it to my nieces, nephew, former clients, God children and other children 18 and under.   There’s crime on majority of the television shows; movies are mostly about sex, drugs, money and murder; people walk around with a chip on their shoulder like the world owes them something and customer service sucks!   Don’t get me wrong, it’s not everywhere, just majority of the places our youth are.   Even schools have become more dangerous because teachers are sleeping with students, students are selling drugs in school, more fights are occurring, more students are being bullied more severely and weapons are being carried for protection.   Not to mention, we have a President whose actual moral character is questioned daily because of what comes out of his mouth.   No one is perfect!   Should a human being be chasti...
