Happy New Year Girlfriends!

So it’s a new year and many of us are making empty resolutions that will be broken by next week. But instead of vowing to lose 30 lbs by tomorrow and going to church 3 times a week, let’s start making changes from the inside out.  Line up all of your bags, empty them out and put all of the things that you need into a clutch. What do I mean? When you go out, do you take everything with you? No you take your ID, cash, debit card, lipgloss & gum! So do the same emotionally! Take your deadbeat baby daddies, cheating exes, ish-talking fake friends & overdraft fees and THROW THEM AWAY! You don’t need them! You can not move forward holding on to the things of yester year.  Sure these things happened and they hurt but are you gonna allow the big hobos full of sorrow to keep you from happiness? Throw the unnecessary in a trash bag, (not a recycling bin) and get rid of it! Only you can make your life happy, so like Ms. Badu said, Pack light!

Be Thankful

Good Day, Girlfriends!

It’s been some time since we had service, but I hope you all are in good health.  This year has been something huh? Well, I know all of us have been through some messy stuff, but my message today is to be thankful for the small stuff! Whomever your God is, (even if you worship the clouds) thank Him! Thank him for good soap and hot water. Thank Him for a good weave (i refer to all hair as weave real or fake) thank Him for your junk in the trunk! Thank Him for good lipgloss! Thank Him for a good bra that holds them girls up! Thank Him for the sway in your hips, your ability to attract the other, (or some) sex! Thank him for discounts & coupon codes! Blogs to get you through the day at work; the Internet! You get the point! There are so many things to be upset about, but there are MORE things to be thankful for. If you don’t believe me, visit your local cemetery and ask them about it…oh ok! Let’s now allow what we see on TV coupled with the drama in our lives get us down! If nothing else, be thankful for the deliverance that is sure to come for whatever your situation is. Just Be Thankful

Girlfriends,

     Why do we feel it is better to be with any man than to be alone? Why do we subject ourselves to just a piece of something when we KNOW that something is no good for us? We run after these court jesters; fools who do do anything but cause stress, heartache, pain and bad credit with all their foolishness, then cry when they break our hearts! Why! Why do we subject ourselves to this when we know what the outcome will be? Girlfriends, being single is not a death sentence.  We have to learn to embrace and wait on our Kings to find us; their Queens.  It doesnt matter what religion you are, because all of the major ones believe that a man finds his wife.  That doesnt mean we should sit in the house and wait for him to ring the bell, it just means stop chasing these fools and let the man for you reveal himselves.  If your King comes to find you, imagine how put off he will be when he sees you running after some no good fool? Girlfriends, save yourself the emotional drain, bad credit, extra kids, child support hearings etc and just wait for your king.  Dont let him pass you by…

Girlfriends,

Can someone tell me what the hype is about dealing with unlawful and unsavory men? If you work at a pharmaceutical company, why are you messing with a street pharmacist? If you are a bank teller, why are you messing with a stick-up kid! LADIES WDF! R U THINKING??? Dont yall watch “The First 48?” The detectives tell you that the first thing that they do is try to get the girlfriends to talk, and if they dont, they MAKE them talk by throwing the book at em! Is the lore of dealing with the “bad boy” worth your freedom? If he loves you would he ask you to buzz his stick-up crew in the apartment building or be get him some account numbers from the bank? In any relationship, it is important to be equally yoked! So just remember, if you are clocking W-2’s and he is glocking M-22’s, that yolk is split, cracked and all outta wack! You are not above the law, and there wont be no weaves,mani and pedis in the pokey! You wont have Gucci jumpsuits or Louboutin Skippies! Girlfriends, please wise up! I done told yall to Leave the Inmates Alone but yall arent gonna be satisfied to yall become 1! WISE UP before you find yourself playing lay me down and lick me up with Cleo, and i dont mean the pyschic.
