The Definition of #Supporters

roducts (as if they don't have any value), lesson learned. I won't ask again.
I may just ask u to model my lip products bc I need a different look. If you can, that is considered #Support. I won't ask you to do anything that will cost you a dime (unless you decide to purchase). And if so that is on you. Modeling is free, hitting the Share button on social media is free as well. From this and other scenarios, I have learned a valuable lesson bc everyone is NOT for you. So, for my true #Supporters who have been showing up to model for me or modeled it in their own homes and send me pix, I applaud you for that completing that small task I requested. For those that haven't, I truly apologize for disrupting your days by asking for at least 5-10 minutes out of your 24 hour day.
BTW, Anytime I see someone trying to build their brand, selling a product or service, I definitely hit the SHARE button bc even though I may not be able to afford it, I have plenty FB friends that can. There have been people I have turned on to plenty money from friends/associates of mine that have not bought 1 product from me;nor shared my posts. It is ok, though. I call them the #Preyers; not #Prayers.
But we must keep in mind this is #Our dream;not theirs and sometimes that may be the issue; that they didn't have it first. I will make it with or w/o them. I will continue to go hard in the paint for mine while #They continue to #Prey on my downfall.It'll be a long drop, baby bc I ain't stopping.

DEADBEAT DADDIEZ ON DECK.....ALL ABOARD

        According to 23 Important Deadbeat Dads Statistics, 31% of fathers in the United States are court ordered to pay child support. There are only 72.9% of children that actually receive the child support payments they have been ordered to receive. And, the biggest reason for the fathers not paying child support is because they receive no visitation rights. So, as a mother, once you have had to go through a bunch of red tape and the system itself, no less, just to force your child's father to face his responsibilty, do you feel it is fair for him to be granted visitation rights? What are your thoughts on this?
        In my opinion, if I have to make you assist in taking care of our child, then you should either be granted supervised visitation or just give up your rights because I will just make it on my own with the child. Just don't be that in and out father in our child's life. I won't have it.
   These behaviors lading to these statistics are causing a wedge in the households between the parents and essentially the children. The children are the ones bearing the brundt of these alleged behaviors.
  Now, your precious President Trump wants to end that at all costs. He has never walked in the shoes of a middle class or lower class single parent and should not be able to make that decision. What impact will it have on us as a country now? Ask your President for Christ's sakes!!!

Ughhh...Stop Blocking My Blessings!

 When they say no one can do any more to you than you allow them to, I believe it...to a degree. Obviously if someone is being held captive, they cannot just walk away. But, sometimes we can be holding ourselves captive mentally because we have allowed this muddled way of thinking of the other person to find its way into our worlds, our minds, our hearts. And, essentially those same perspectives and thoughts of the other party began to become the norm.
  There are a lot of things or people that could be an influence on your situation. Please don't allow any of this to infiltrate on your peace and life itself.

When you walk away from this situation or person, you will notice a change in your life. Sometimes it even happens very suddenly in order to show you immediately (instant gratification).  I've seen people get multiple jobs all of a sudden when they have rid themselves of these toxins. There are toxic situations, people and places.

When you cannot walk away, it is bc you have allowed it/him/her to infiltrate in on your peace. You have begun to believe all they say or exhibit when it pertains to you. I was always told believe none of what I hear and only half of what I see. To piggyback off that, I must admit I am a watcher of body language. The words don't really matter to me considering so many are used so loosely these days.

You see the world is all based on perception. It is whatever you perceive it to be. There would not be innocent people incarcerated was it based on truth. A jury is made up of 12 people that decide one's fate based on how they perceive the evidence and the person's image oftentimes. People sure do have a way with words and every picture is not worth 1,000.

The toxins can hold you back from so many things. Forgive before you walk away or it will forever haunt you. You give it to God all while understanding the forgiveness is for you;not them.  The first step is to accept it/him/her for exactly what/who they are. Once they show you their true colors; believe them. Their season or reason may just be up in your life. Believe it or not, there are some dead beat dads/moms that were just put into one's life to give them children;not to stick around and take care of them. Once you have accepted it for what/who it is, your eyes will begin to open up to things you never imagined. Your focus comes back and you finally realize it was for your own good. It may even be that you have to see this situation going downhill for yourself before you completely let go. Then come the blessings in abundance as long as you really forgave. No one said you have to forget. But, at some point it becomes a distant memory and one you can laugh at because now that your mind is clear, you cannot imagine what you were even thinking about getting into it in the first place. Now, you can blossom and be the person that situation wouldn't allow you to be. Life is too short!

What's All The Buzz About Dove?

According to reports from CNN:

Dove apologized this weekend for a social media post that the company says "missed the mark" representing black women.

So, everyone is up in the air about this alleged innocent Dove commercial, huh? The commercial simply demonstrates how Dove is known to care for the skin for all women of all complexions...but in a different way. Earlier today on The Talk, it was said that the company definitely missed their mark with this one. 

Now, had the shoe been on the other foot, would there have also been an outpouring of criticism because the white woman was turning black during this commercial? I think not. I mean that would be equivalent to a Caucasian being turned down for a job because of their color, or would it?

I think if anything it may have  been very bad timing, considering all the blatant racism going on now. I'm not only talking about all the controversy in the presidency; but going all the way back to the killing of Trayvon Martin. Not to mention the senseless killings of what we as a race see as innocent victims being shot down or murdered in cold blood by the police.

According to www.theguardian.com,  as far back as December 31,2015 there had already been over 

1,000 people killed by policemen. That is a high number if you ask me. One is a high number when it comes to

fatalities. The reason I mention the Travon Martin case, is because that man was a mere citizen stereotyping a 

teenage kid simply because of his attire and was acquitted. It seems since then that more and more policemen

have taken that case and applied it to their own lives. Since Mr. Zimmerman was felt he was held above the law;

so now does the police. 

So, if the Dove commercial gets to you like that;what about the innocent lives wasted and taken due to racial 

prejudices? If this gets a rise out of you, then surely the police killing over 258 black men in 2016...over 39 of them 

being unarmed, must also be a thorn in your side. 

All I am saying  is if we are going to talk  about racism, this Dove commercial should be an afterthought. No one lost 

their lives during that commercial. However there have been hundreds of lives lost behind what a vast majority deem as 

senseless killings. What about their lives;their loved ones; their parents?

If this Dove commercial causes you this much distress, honey just stop using it. Let's regain our focus on the real

racial issues at hand. If we continue to stand for nothing;we will fall for anything my friends. Stop the cherry picking, pls.
