The Men All Pause

While I know Eve ate of the forbidden fruit first and convinced Adam to do the same; menstruation and childbirth wasn't enough so He allowed MENOPAUSE? I've pushed 3 children with big heads out into the world and have a tie to them that is EVERLASTING even in the ups and downs of life and even with that I still get to go through THIS? Hey 2023!! Recently America has witnessed another round of police brutality this time by the hands of 5 black men. I'm sad for many reasons. I'm sad that the world magnifies these crimes as FRONT NEWS when it's a black on black crime but when a man was murdered by white officers there was much cover up and the officers that were responsible were not charged until over a year later. The Memphis area sent out mass communications to dismiss work and school for the safety of the community and I was very angered by the media inciting violence. When George Floyd was killed by white police officers and it was streamed worldwide they didn't insist the communities in Minnesota promote safety. And the police officers weren't immediately charged and over the last few years black mens lives have been sacrificed with no recourse by the hands of the police. While I know that all police don't incite violence; I know that change is needed. I know that some behaviors promote violence to snuff our black men out. They want our black men to kill each other so they won't have to do it. Not physically anyway. Very sad. I am terrified that my sons live in a world that doesn't value their existence. Those black police officers should be held accountable for their choices but truthfully they were taught by white racist officers regarding police brutality and they were ignorant enough to take the bait. Prayers are needed to heal our land. So maybe menopause doesn't just apply to me. Maybe MEN need to pause and address this sore in our society that doesn't value the lives of black men because THEY DO MATTER.

                                      Unconditional loves' definition is: To love somebody with no conditions or circumstances: to love completely. So many times in life we find that as human beings we don't truly practice this.  My fault (YES I have them) is that I am the  someone who only loves others HARD, giving of myself freely without any boundaries  sometimes portraying myself as extremely passive.    That is me being a “people pleaser” which means I'm not being unconditional or loving to myself first. Let me tell you, playing the martyr is not always rewarding or validating and only leaves you and the other person resentful. I am learning to work to recognize when doing what is best for me first might sometimes have me prioritizing my needs and desires above someone else's. This is a healthy part of defining who I am as an individual and crucial to me in...

I welcome the New Year with joy. I thank God that he continues to keep me and my family. The New Year is a magical time.  It is a time for reflection and rebirth . A new year is  a chance to regroup and a cause for much joy and celebration! The fresh start of a new year is an exciting opportunity to improve and become more than I am. It is a chance for reinvention and abundant happiness. To have great joy, I open my mind and my heart to what the New Year will bring. I avoid fearing the change that the ending of one year offers. I welcome change because it allows for growth. Change keeps things interesting and eventful. I find excitement and joy in every new experience. The New Year  provides me with an opportunity for reflection and growth . Each day provides that, but the changing of a year is more significant. As I reflect on the New Year, I realize all of the joy the past year brought to me. I reflect on the past year’s challenges, as well as its moments o...

Don't get sucked into the  "Narcissistic Vortex." If you are related to,  married  to or divorced from a  narcissist , then you know how difficult it is reason with them. Narcissists  are masters at manipulation. They are often intelligent and charming when you first meet them. In the beginning, you hold them to high esteem. They're fully aware of this, of course, and they  love  to bask in your adulation. But once you catch on to their tactics and question behavior that is the opposite of their once-charming selves, they become deeply threatened. They will then paint themselves as a victim and you as their aggressor, expertly blaming you for the relationship's demise and all other misfortunes in their life. You, as the co-dependent, try to reason with him, change his mind, or challenge every verbal assault point-by-point in hopes that the narcissist snaps out of his irrational behavior. Maybe this time he will understand,...
