Happy Sunday

What's done is done.
   -William Shakespeare

My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.
    -the movie Forrest Gump

"Stop holding on to the past.

Release your regrets about whatever you may have done or failed to do that turned out poorly.

Forgive others for whatever they may have done or failed to do that cause you harm.

Declare today to be a new beginning. Let go of the past and move on with creating a joyful new future for yourself."

Today is as good a day as any to put the past behind us and start a new chapter!!!  It is that easy, you just need to put your mind to it, pray for strength, and make it so.

Your only limitation is your own mind!!!

Stay Strong and take that first step right now!!!

I believe in you!!!

It is NEVER too late!!!!

"Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do."

-Pope John XXIII

Master of Your Emotions

"If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions."

-Og Mandino

Great affirmation and reminder that our thoughts and actions dictate how our day, week, indeed our life will be!!! 

Become the Master of your emotions starting right now!!!!

Stay Strong!!!!

I'm Coming Home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away

 all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming...


Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you with me put your hands high
(put your hands high)
If you ever lost the light before, this ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you

I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day another Dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone

What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
Its easy to be Puff, its harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask why I aint marry their mom (why, damn!)
How do I respond?

What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
Sh-t! But I aint finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs,
Another day another Dawn

Just tell Taneka and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong.

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming

"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone?
And people got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it

But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'

Baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
But we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up your phone, come on home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
We back cruising through Harlem, These old blocks

It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away, then embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time coming

Lot of fights, lot of scars, 

lot of bottles, Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
And here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the World that I'm coming....home !

Happy Birthday Fallon O'Toole McIntyre

Fallie turns 9 years old today and we would give anything to celebrate this milestone day with her on earth today.

However, we will instead celebrate with her in spirit as she celebrates in Heaven with her grandparents and loved ones who are undoubtedly with her to blow out the candles!

Not a day passes where we do not think of Fallie and the love she represents. She is always with us in our hearts and souls.

Please take a moment today to wish her a wonderful birthday and send her love today. And please pray for continued strength and faith for her parents and family as well. They are a daily inspiration for us all as we struggle with our own "problems".  Their strength is amazing!!

We miss you and love you, Beautiful!! 

Happy Birthday!!

Daily Inspiration...Worry

"It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control?"
~ Wayne Dyer

Worry is such a waste of energy. Most of what we worry about in our lives NEVER comes to fruition and we spend so much valuable time driving ourselves crazy over these things. Some people are driven to illness and for waht reason???  None whatsoever!!

Have FAITH that you are on a path that will lead to happiness, joy and peace!!! Have FAITH that you so not need to worry about things as you will be taken care of regardless.

No matter the direness of the situation, everything passes and will resolve itself in the end.  So why pull your hair out and lament and worry???

Trust and believe.....it will all be ok!!!

Stay Strong
