Part I of "Love Series" "The Deepest Love"


How strong is your love?

Is it strong enough to hold somebody's heart?

When you love hard, are you good at not letting that person fall apart?

What type of love do you possess?

A strong bondage of love, we always put it up for a test; let's all confess!

It's not easy to love hard and not feel the returned love back,

Love is patient, love is kind, love isn't jealous, as-a-matter-of-fact

How long does it take for you to love somebody and simply mean it?

Love stands on its own two feet, it's like a brick wall, Love won't have a fit.


When love hurts us, we fall down on our knees with tears streaming down our face,

If love gonna continue to break our hearts over and over again, then there's no point to love again, if that's the case.

We meet different people and different people come into our lives for different reasons,

Love will vanish into your life and disappears just like the season.

But you have to pick yourself up and remain strong when the evilness of love strikes back,

The next time love walks into your life, you should know how to act!

Love sometimes makes us weak, that we get so depressed,

You are too blessed to be stressed, don't feed into your Love mess.

Sometimes we look for love in all the wrong places,

Trying to fill the empty spaces,

While making love, you'll be making love faces.

Stop trying to look for love! Let love find you,

A new love, the way it will make you feel brand new.

The dangers of love will make your head spin,

As if you are about to commit a deadly sin.

The deepest love is all within, all within.

You have been broken down, heartaches, headaches, can't sleep cuz you are thinking about that lost love, that one love, that DEEPEST love,

As the love angels are falling from above,

The drops of visible love are bonded like two doves.

When people say they love you, but leave you,

They never knew that true love was, you forget the feeling when you are through!

Through with the bondage of feeling lonely, but you still begging people to love you back so you can feel loved!

You can't beg for love! Just be patient,

Trying to multiply the number of people who love you and subtract the love pains like an equation.


The deepest love, the REAL love is God Himself,

When others have broken your heart, God never left!

He will ALWAYS remain in your heart,

Til death do you part.

The Real Love God is,

He might not be your last love, or first love or a love whiz.

But whatever you are going through, whenever you need to be comforted, God will do that without hesitating,

He'll show you love when you are at your lowest and meditating.

When you're lonely, He'll be there for you even in the time of need,

You won't have to be a follower, He wants you to take His hand and He will lead.

When the world's love has given up and all you are dealing with are scrubs,

Just look over your shoulders and embrace the DEEPEST LOVE!

"The Greatest Love"


What is "your" definition of Love? When you think about love, what thoughts run through your mind when you think about it?


"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own" -Robert A. Heinlein


The love that is expressed in relationships can sometimes be the most painful kind because we tend to experience the heartaches and headaches. Especially when our heart is broken. When people say "I LOVE YOU", we wonder do they really mean it or are they just saying that because it sounds good., In a relationship, we want to make that bond and connection so that everything goes smoothly.


Why are there so much pain when people say that they love u and later, they change their mind? We could be with someone for five years; everything seems to go great, until something goes wrong and a break-up is on the way. How many times you have been in love and can honestly say that person loved you back?


Well guess what? When the world has stopped loving you and relationships don't go right or that "special" person has stopped loving you, God is the GREATEST Love!! He will never leave you or forsake you! No matter what you are going through, God will be right there to comfort you! He has your back 100% and God NEVER stops loving us! The world's love may be temporary, but God's love is ETERNAL!!!

"Stay Postive, Stay Positive, Stay Positive"


Inhale, Exhale! Sometimes you have to do that once in awhile to stay on track. Sometimes you may feel down in the dumps and negative thoughts run through your mind and it may cause you to worry or stress.


The little things that goes on in our live that isn't worth it, Toss it to the side! It's no point to stress over things you have no control over. I remember talking to a friend yesterday and he told me not to sweat the small stuff and try to remain positive. I wanted to laugh and say, "Are you serious? That's gonna be a hard task for me to do!" But I knew deep down inside, he is right. I can't let the small things weigh me down and cause me to loose focus because God wants me to give all my problems to Him and focus on the present and future!


By staying positive and encouraging yourself daily, you can focus on what is really important. Having a positive attitude, the doors of the future will always be open to you. If only if you follow your heart and let NO ONE knock you down, you will be good to go. Everyone goes through something in their life where it feels like its too hard to handle. You can try saying these words, "I can get through this, I WILL get through this. Nobody is going to stand in my way." With a little bit of encouragement and positive thinking, the race that you are running in your life will be a smooth sailing! All you gotta do is Trust and Believe!


Six Steps to Staying Positive


1) Go in front of a mirror and take maybe five minutes to say encouraging and positive words to yourself.

2) When you are thinking negative thoughts, grab a notebook or paper and jot down ways to make those thoughts into positive ones.

3) Make a list of all the positive things you can do to help solve your problems. Go back over your list and highlight the top five.

4) Try doing at least "one" positive activity a day whether it's donating clothes, giving someone money or volunteering.

5) When you feel like you are about to be stressed out, breathe in deeply, talk positively in your mind and release all of you stress/thoughts out.

6) Find something that motivates you, something that will enable you to become less stress.

"Unloosening the Shackles"




Where art thou to be in this world?


Away from the evil that has done us wrong.


Showing no fear and continuing to walk a straight path, keeping your head lifted high and shoulders hunched up high.


Remaining patient and keeping the faith when swirls of trouble eats away at your soul and mind,


Making you weak and at night crying.


Denying all the trouble , the pain,


You should know that God's work isn't a game.




You wanna be free of everything that's shackling you up in life.


Free from the past that won't let you go,


There is a God, and awesome God, I want you to know.


Rise up again all ye people.


Raise your hands proudly, willingly, you wanna be set free. Ask God to set your mind, soul and body free; you wanna be free from anything that's hindering you from moving on,


Plant that seed of a new start in your life; get the sowing.




Unloose yourself from these shackles that are tying and weighing you down like heavy boulders with string tied to your ankles; and every time you take a step foreword, you fall back down. The devil want you to go backwards,


But after you continue to praise God, all the destruction of the enemy will vanish afterwards.


How many souls want to be saved from all the harm and danger?


Pick up the spiritual phone, He is not a stranger.


Pick yourself p and dust your body off. You've been down in the dirt too long, you've been bleeding too much.


God will pick you up and carry your weak body on His back,


The strength and protection from the wars of hell; you won't have to lack.




As He blows air and breathes life back into your body, you feel stronger,


You ask God, "How much of this will I have to deal with the storm, how much longer?"


He lets you sleep peacefully on His heart telling you not to worry anymore,


You won't have to put shackles upon your life anymore.




Unloosen the Shackles in your life, in your heart, on your soul; inhale, exhale,


All you have to do is rely on God, He will never fail.


Unloosen the Shackles so you can find happiness again,


Let the fresh morning dew of His power in your newness of purity begin.


Let there be no more heartaches, headaches,


Let's learn to live life and not hate, but have 200% of believing in fate.




When we were at our lowest and no one couldn't help us;we were dirty individuals,


The only thing up ahead we could see were the deadly visuals.


Face covered with dirt and tears but we never showed fear,


Don't you know that God will always be near?


TAKE THEM OFF NOW!


You're free!


Can't you see?


Don't look back at these wars that are like a football game filled with tackles,


Stop right now and UNLOOSEN THE SHACKLES!

"Acceptance"


Why do people feel as if they have to hang out with certain people or join organizations for attention or just to be "accepted" because they feel like they do?



Sometimes you have to accept who you are and accept the fact that when you change for others, you are only hurting yourself. But the type of acceptance I am referring to is the type women go through to get that "certain" attention from that "certain" somebody.


As women, we tend to look at ourselves from head to toe. From our natural hair/weave to our figure. God made us all in His own eyes and trying to change a part of u so that you can please others isn't going to solve your problem. When you look in the mirror, you should see a beautiful creature. It's not about what the world think of u, but it's about how you portray yourself. Many men sometimes like women to look a certain way or to act a certain way; wanting our body size to be their fantasy. And as women, we try and loose weight/gain weight, dress a little differently so that we will feel "accepted" into the eyes of men instead of being ourselves.!


I feel that if a man can't ACCEPT you the way you truly are, they aren't worth the time. Ladies, stop trying to find love and acceptance! Let love find you! Let that RIGHT man accept not only PART of you, but ALL of you. Because when you start changing for all the wrong reasons, you start to feel a little different; you sometimes may worry and your self-esteem level gets lower.


When men can't accept the fact that God made who we are for a reason, then that's saying they can't really accept your hearts and personality. You got to remember that when in a relationship, make sure that they are actually feeling you and accept EVERYTHING about you. IF they can't MOVE ON! Never feel like you are missing out on something if a guys wants you to be a certain way because guess what? He's missing out on a wonderful opportunity!


As ladies, we got to represent and stand still and realize we are beautiful, strong and one of a kind! Can't no man change who and what you are! Acceptance can be a deadly weapon because once you change your image, your ways, your whole persona, your mind becomes weak when you are trying to fit into something or a place isn't of you.


Learn to accept who you are, what you will become in the near future and what God has called you to do on Earth. A lot of times some women don't like the way they look, they don't like the way they dress, their hair isn't the way they would like it to be or some women might complain about the way their body is shaped. Stop complaining and LEARN TO ACCEPT. We sometimes stress and worry about our bodies and whether he or she will like you, but all that doesn't matter.


"God grant me the serenity to ACCEPT the things I CANNOT change..."


If you keep these encouraging words in the back of you mind and in your heart, you will learn to become a stronger woman who can overcome and face any obstacle in your life. Remember, when others won't FULLY ACCEPT YOU, GOD WILL 200% and more! #REALTALK

"Loving Urself, not Hating Urself"


When you love yourself, love yourself entirely,

Love yourself to the fullest, don't love yourself one day and hate yourself the next.


When you love yourself, love every feature that God has created,

The good and bad, even the features that are tolerated.

Don't complain about what you don't have, but be thankful.


Look at all of you, even the spots you can't see,

All of you is lovable, kissable, holdable.

Don't ever say you hate what you look like,

You should always love yourself no matter what, day and night.


Look in the mirror...look closely at the beautiful image. How can you hate something so sweet in God's creation?


Learn to love the choices you make, the things that you do,

Whatever it takes to get you through.


Stop hating the fact if you don't look like the next person ot a famous celebrity,

Just be the best person that you can be!


Don't hate your smile or the clothers that you wear,

Don't stop and look at a complete stranger and dare to compare.

Appreciate what you have and the fact that you are blessed,

Don't live day by day worrying and being stressed.


Love the person that you are today,

Love the small things, like the encouraging words people will say.

Love the fact that God wakes you up each and every morning,

Love your laugh, the way you talk, the fact that you are adoring.


Love but don't hate,

Love the fact that you can't escape,

Living and loving life according to fate,

Learn to love yourself and to appreciate.


Loving yourself and not hating yourself,

Dont hate yourself, but love yourself.


Love yourself, Love yourself, Love yourself.

Fall in love with yourself.

Live in your air, breathe your air.


Loving yourself, but not hating yourself.

"It's all about WHO you know, not WHAT you know"


As we all know, the economy is stressful and the people without work are some-what stressing that they aren't able to find a job. We hope that will get better and the people without a job will get one real soon.


But let's not give up hope, but remember to keep the faith. Some of the popular search engines in finding a job may be Careerbuilder, Career Connection, CraigsList, Job.Com or Indeed.com. When searching for a job, make sure you focus is in the area of your interest. As you already know, when searching for a job, its about WHO you kknow instead of WHAT you know. Sad, but very true! I remember my last job for the government, my mom's friend knew somebody and BAM! I got the temp position. But you have to meet that RIGHT person that will guide you in the right direction and get you connection to the right jobs.


After graduating from college, a lot of college grads are fortunate in working at their place of internship or even to get a job ofger, while others may not be so lucky. But that's ok because you can sit back and enjoy the summer while searching for a job.


And even if you can't find something within a couple of months, then volunteering is a GREAT way of getting your foot in the door. That is a key factor! Once you have been exposed to different companies, people will realize what a good aset you are to their company and many times they wil hire you. But like I said earlier, it's about WHO you know.


NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK is a MUST. If you are hungry in finding a job, you got to be on your grind and hustle for what you want. Remember to be persistent and learn to follow-up on the jobs that you are applying for. Also try going to job fairs often and network with the companies to see how far you get. You never know what you will get out of it!


But whatever you do, don't stress! Don't worry! Remain strong! God will bless you with the RIGHT job at the RIGHT time!

"Strong Women Stand up!"

Hello Ladies! How are you today? I hope that you are having a great day!

As women we are flowers. We bloom into beautiful creatures that God has created in His own image. We are the back bone to society and deserve the up most respect when dealing with the world's problems. As women we play an important role! Yes we have to look presentable with our fancy hair styles, swagga-fresh clothes, and lets not forget our variety of shoes that brings out our complete package. But we have to remain strong! We have to continue to keep the faith and be humble.

A lot of people don't understand all the pain and suffering that we go through and even behind closed doors. The late-night tears that may fall down our face from a difficult break-up or complications that only God knows about and no one else. Who understands what a REAL woman goes through? Some men can't understand fully why we cry easily, why our heart bruises easily, how we can smile through our pain. Because we are STRONG WOMEN and as STRONG WOMEN, we should stand together in unity. We deal with the world's drama on a daily basis such as bitchy females who can't understand why our swagg is so tight and how great our personality and attitude fits. Oh how some females love to hate on us STRONG BEAUTIFUL WOMEN of UNITY. You see we can't engage in the world's drama because we have better things to worry about!

We maintain strong and keep pressing on. But when we are faced with jealousy of other low-class females who don't have nothing better to do then to mess with our ego, we play it off and let them keep talking, because as STRONG WOMEN, we ignore the BS and keep walking! It may look simple, but really its not. Do you know how many times we have to bite our tongues so that we won't end up in "cat fights" or to pull our heels off and tie our hair back in a ponytail? LOL

STRONG WOMEN we know how much we can take, how much the world has to keep tugging and pulling before we explode. But lets not get to that point. We deal with the no-good men in relationships who has verbally abused us, disrespected us or even physically abused us! We have dealt with the "other woman" dram and the "baby mama" drama, the "who-the heck-is calling-his-phone-at-3am-in-the-morning" drama and so much more. But we have to remember that we can't tolerate so much stress at one time. What you can do is inhale and exhale deeply, close your eyes and think about all of the positive things in your life instead of all the negative things that are making you frustrated and worried.

Learn to encourage yourself by speaking positive to yourself and your situations. As women, we have to keep our spirits lifted and never let man or the world distract us to what we want to do in life! As STRONG WOMEN, we have to let our voice be heard and STAND STRONG AND STAND STILL!

"We are the women of today and tomorrow,
Let's not show any pain, fear or sorrow.
We stand strong and still when no one else can,
STRONG WOMEN we truly are, spreading our happiness and love through thick and thin.
Let no man tell us what we can't do,
Making every thought and dream come true.
Stand up BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! STAND UP TALL AND PROUD,
Let us say "NOBODY CAN PUT US DOWN!" as we don't hesitate to speak, but to say it real loud!"

"Good-Bye 2010...Hello 2011"


Each year we all plan our dreams/goals and also our accomplishments of what we all want to follow up on. Whether it is to write a book, create a website, graduate from school, get a new job or change for the best, we strive and press toward the mark to get to where we want to go in life.


As the year slowly ends and as Thanksgiving and Christmas rolls around the corner, we look back over the months of 2010 and see what things we most remembered or the things that has hurt us in the few months. You know the old saying "Leave the past in the past?" Well that's true, but we also have to keep in mind that we have to learn from our mistakes and move on to higher expectations. 'Man this year sure has flown by" some of you may say. It just seems like time is ticking and we are getting older and wiser each and everyday. If someone was to ask you this question: "What was the most memorable thing in the year of 2010?" What would your answer be and why?


A lot of people don't make New Year Resolutions because most of us don't tend to follow them, but we all know what has to be done in the upcoming year. "A time for new beginnings." This is a true statement because a lot of us didn't really have a great year. Maybe because of you got laid off or fired from your job, you lost a close relative/friend, you been in a car accident, you thought you were going to move into a new house/apartment but you couldn't, etc, but look on the bright side, you still made it! You are still here! Things might not go accordingly to your plan, but God always has the last say-so in everything.


If this wasn't the best year for you, don't worry! All you have to do is keep running the race of life, keep the faith and remain strong and everything will work out just fine! Some goals or dreams that you made for this year can always carry over in 2011. Some goals/dreams may be long-term ones and may require more time and focus, but I believe that you can do it!!! (Smile)


So as we almost say good-bye to 2010, lets prepare our hearts and minds for 2011 and let the upcoming year be a very good one for us!


Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

"Don't Misrepresent ME...I Represent MYself!"

Don't Misrepresent me, the person I am, who I'm striving to be,
Don't Misrepresent my style, my heart, my pain , my love, things you will never see.
Don't Misrepresent the woman I'm trying to become, to follow my dreams, my goals,
You will never understand when things seems to fall apart; some things will never get old.

You see you cant Misrepresent somebody that you don't know,
You see you can Misrepresent somebody when they choose not to show.
I'm not perfect, will never be perfect, not trying to be perfect, I do me, try to be the best that I can be, the person I will be, so don't Misrepresent ME!
Don't Misrepresent my past, we all make mistakes and learn from them,
Don't Misrepresent me, if I'm not that precious sapphire or ruby gem.

I-AM-0ME
I-AM-MY OWN PERSON

I am what God has made me to be,
What He has called me to be.,

So stop judging the indefinite beauty, strong-minded, strong-hearted, sophisticated human-being.

Imma do me, Imma do me, Imma DO ME!

Stop trying to figure me out, because you will It figure everything you need to know,
i try to live my life to the fullest, taking things nice and slow.

I stand still when it comes to living in this world, living alone,
Being an independent Queen, not needing to rely on people, it has already shown.
I don't have to prove to people what a good person I am, What I am and Who I am.

Who am I? Who am I to you? Can you see on my face and in my heart the things I've been through,
Can you see the obstacles I've had to face to get to where I'm at today?
The sweetest, most caring, most respectful person some may say.

Don't Misrepresent my talent God has blessed me with,
Don't Misrepresent my change of a stronger vision when I'm about to shift.

So don't come to me with the attitude, sarcasm, evilness, when all Imma do is walk away,
And continue to live life day by day.

When enemies try and destroy my life,
When they never wanna see me do right,
All ii can do is pray day and night, day and night, day and night.

I Represent myself to the fullest,
I live my life to the fullest,
What God has blessed me with, I Represent it to the fullest!

You see no one can't pull me down when I'm so far up in the sky when i wanna get away from the world, I climb on cloud 9.
No one can't pull me down when all I wanna do is go higher, higher and higher until you can't see me anymore.

And I'll be walking through the double doors, the doors of opportunity, unity, everything brand new, I will start to see.

I only Represent me, Imma continue to do me, be me, so don't Misrepresent me, I wanna be free, set free, set free, set my soul free!

So don't Misrepresent me, I Represent myself.
I Represent myself so much that when the haters and enemies try to touch me,
It will give then a shock of reality!

You see I was built on strongness, patience, loveliness, so nobody will ever try to pull this Queen of Ya-Highness down,
I walk on the path without making a sound.

I Represent myself when people seem to not understand ,
When people say i can't when I know without a doubt that I can.
That special friend that lives above,
Giving me the strength and all the love.

I Represent myself and nobody else, nobody else, and nobody else!
Why worry about others when I got my life to live?
I don't deal with the fakeness, I'm all about the real, the realness, 100% real...200% realer, sometimes life can be such a thriller,
Walking alone in darkness,
No lights
No sun
New life, new things has already begun,
The battle I have almost won!
My mind, body and soul as one, as one, as ONE; UNITY
The encouragement and confidence that will only get through to me.

So Don't Misrepresent ME...I Represent MYself!!!
