Life from my view

There was a time when my best friend and I- just couldn't seem to see eye to eye. We chose our paths as separate as they were... but when we are together all of that.... what is it worth... So here is another poem I wrote long, long. long ago- to my best friend. It did not have a title.. but now I will create one.                                                                 Latitia Old and good friends share a piece of passion, pain and pleasure that no one else, not even family can begin to know or treasure. It's as if a secret room- held their private store And every time they met they escaped through a secret door. It doesn't matter if they speak each day or if years and years go by before they have much to say. The moment that they meet it is like magic happens It's all there- the moments, the tears, likes and the shared fears The memories of the fiercest loyalty and the responsibility to be there in times of need The gratitude in having a true fri

So while cleaning out my infamous car trunk... I found an old tablet with a couple of poems I wrote for my Sabbath school class back in 2002. I had a little bit of skill..hope you enjoy.                                 Who Was There? When The Clouds Hang Low and You Can Hardly See The Road Just Thought You Should Know, God Is Always In Control If You Take The Time, time to realize... Who Who was there to wipe the tears away? Who was there when you didn't know your way? or what to say? Who told you to pray? Was it your family or your friends? Neither... you say? Then who was there? It Was He Who Sticks Closer Thank a Brother He Knows The Secrets hid deep in your heart If they still ponder upon who was there.... Be sure to tell them that it was he who died upon the cross Just to save those who should be lost. He, Jesus was there.                                   The Life Unknown Lives are stories that we read each day Some we comprehend, others we throw a

I know that I am about 2 weeks late... but I am working full time and pursuing a Master's so be patient! Miss USA 2016  is exponentially several degrees above awesome. Let us take a moment to discuss what makes her awesome. 1. She is Black- unapologetic. Most definitely oozing #BlackGirlMagic the definition of #BlackExcellence and that melanin is definitely popping. I wonder what color she wears> definitely not any shade that Neutorgena offers (No Shade) but not everyone has cool, orange or yellow undertones.... some of US have prominent red undertones!!! I digress.... Handclap to the makeup artist and creators out there that cater to ALL SHADES of BLACK. 2. Member of the US Army- Patriot and passionate about it. Some of my people are not the most supportive of African Americans fighting for a country that chose to enslave and continues to mentally enslave us as a people. My goodness! Cut the girl some slack- she has chosen to sacrifice her life for others- which is t

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a hidden gem in the heart of Oak Cliff, TX (yes a song did come to mind... but I shall spare thee) So... went to a Complimentary Wine Tasting that was advertised via FB and it was great! Found a new hangout. Dallas is not known for it's wine or anything so whenever we get a new wine bar it is like a BIG DEAL. Cibo Divino Market Place is my new favorite place. They have incorporated a few of my favorite things. Wine, Pizza and Coffee!! I was in heaven and despite the unrelenting Texas rains I ventured out and discovered a few great wines. Thirsty Thursday was a success! Picked up a wonderful Sicilian Red Blend and watched NBA Finals Game 1 at my best friends awesome downtown apartment. Successful day all in all. Kehlani on the playlist, Kyrie playing ball... wine in the glass, homework on the screen- #Get'erDONE I was also able to sample a Chardonnay and Petite Syrah. They also had descriptions of some wines on the display to help the bab
