I Learned From The Best

No matter what trials and tribulations Whitney Houston went through, I have a strong feeling she gave Bobbi Kristina The Greatest Love of All. I hope she is left with the fondest of memories. Now that you’re no longer around for her to Run To You, I pray her father will be strong enough and stable enough for her not to feel like “I Have Nothing“. I can only pray she finds comfort and support in family and close friends. No one can replace you in her life, you were the Queen of the Night (day, evening, dusk, dawn, queen of every damn thing in our childhoods). You reigned supreme!

Whenever I’d run through my iPod list and hear your voice, you made me feel like I Wanna Dance With Somebody! You had it like that! You made some choices and I was mad at you like I knew you! I realize It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay, we all make mistakes. You were an amazing woman and you will always be an amazing talent in our eyes, all of us who sang in choirs well we thank you for allowing us the delusions of grandeur. I used to dance around in my bedroom with a hair brush and pretend I was singing with you. So many of us tried to mimic your voice and perform for events like we were you, afterall we, myself included I Learned From The Best. I questioned like every other broken hearted girl “Where Do Broken Hearts Go?“ We checked into the Heartbreak Hotel, but we didn’t stay for long because you told us to take it Step By Step.

You had a miraculous voice, you were a Miracle and the soundtrack to many lives.  I wish all your adoring fans could have gone back to that One Moment In Time when you made the wrong decision, to help you walk away, but regardless I (personally) Will Always Love You!

Merci Beaucoup

I have two favourite rooms in any house. The bathroom and the bedroom. These are the places I am allowed to be alone with my thoughts usually uninterrupted once the door is closed. Today my thoughts stirred and I was inspired to write as I laid on my bed staring up at a dream catcher I made with clients at my previous job.

Retention

My post today was brought to you by the letter S for status. So I was perusing Facebook and noticed my cousin’s status. She recently had a baby and during the pregnancy, like many other women, she retained water and had to remove her wedding ring. So I started thinking…

Someone Like You

Every song on Adele’s ’21′ album speaks directly to my soul. I’ve never heard an album that touched me as much as this one. I know a lot of people, men and women feel the same. Even my 2 year old God-daughter knows the words to half the album. Don’t worry, I made sure she knows her ABC’s, can count from 1-16 in English and to 11 in Spanish. I digress…I just wanted to do an end of the year post and this seemed like a fitting way. Enjoy and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. 

Between Me & You

I’ve got a lot of thoughts rushing through my mind. It just hasn’t been my day, week, month or year. I gotta get some of these thoughts out. So between me and you, I was thinking…

It’s Your Fault We’re Uncomfortable

If you’re looking for Jesus you can find him by going to church, going to jail, or getting knocked up. Real talk, I’ll outline how in the post below. *=Name has been changed.

Sense & Sensuality

There are places in this world where being a virgin means everything to a woman and her family. There was once a time when women were ashamed to admit they weren’t virgins. Men used to mess with the “bad girls” and marry the inexperienced, pure, and wholesome girls. Well, my oh my (like Johnny Gill), how the times have changed.

28 Words & Thoughts

Sunday is my 28th birthday and I’ve asked 28 of you friends and family to share with me just one word that describes me in your mind. I wasn’t doing it for an ego boost, I was doing it to see if the person I want to be is coming through. I wanted to see which words would come up on the list and which words would not (in hopes of bettering myself). I also thought I’d share 28 thoughts on how I view myself. It’s been a rough year, but I’m still alive and that means I still have a chance to turn things around. I thank all of you for your amazingly kind words. I can’t promise to live up to these adjectives you’ve chosen, because I’m human and I falter at times, but thank you nonetheless. Have a great weekend.

The Midas iVag 2

I’m a migraine sufferer and I think on one of the days when I was confined to the darkness of my bedroom, I missed a once in a lifetime event. It was an event to rival all events. I am so angry at myself that I missed it!

What Comes First?

A few weeks ago friends and I were discussing marriage, children, and how to make it successfully cohesive. One friend brought up a friend who was once engaged and what happened when that friend and her future spouse went to marriage counselling at church. They were asked in what order do you place the following: Kids, Spouse, God?
