When I first saw this video that someone sent to me, I was a little annoyed. Why? It starts out so negatively and I'm allergic to negativity and negative people. I avoid them, or it, like I avoid the flu. But as it went on I saw the intent, and my heart began to smile. It really inspired me to keep going. It made me feel good! What I would say to you is what this video says to me:
Number 1. Stay true to what you believe, no matter what anyone says.
Number 2. Don't let anybody talk you out of your blessing. Stay your course!
Number 3. The voices of positivity will always prevail, and that should always be your focus.
Number 4. Hope floats. So in order to reach it, you have to rise above negativity.
For the past two days I have had a knot in the pit of my stomach. I was watching a show on Discovery ID called Disappeared. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. What outraged me the most is that in 8 years, not one national news outlet has picked up this story. 8 YEARS and nothing has been done. Wait until you read this! I did some research, and from the few articles I could find on this matter, here is the summary of one I’d like to share with you.
Unfortunately, movies starring an all African American cast are on the verge of becoming extinct. THAT’S RIGHT, EXTINCT! Ask any executive at a Hollywood Studio why, and most of them will tell you one of two things. The first thing they’ll say is that DVD sales have become very soft, so it’s hard for a movie with an all black cast to break-even. Secondly they’ll say, most movies are now dependent on foreign sales to be successful and most "black" movies don’t sell well in foreign markets. So what that means is you will begin ...
To all of you that use the cell phone light like I do, I just want to say this. For me, as I was walking through my dark house trying to get to my bedroom, it was truly an exercise in faith. I could only see the light at my feet. I had to trust that even though I could only see three feet in front of me, if I kept following this light, I would get there.
It reminded me of a scripture in the bible, Psalm 119:105 "The word is a lamp unto my feet and ...
Don't think I'm crazy, lol. Have you ever turned off all the lights in your house and used the light from your cell to lead you to the room you were trying to get to (and no my lights are not cut off..lol)? I turn the cell phone light toward my feet and walk to where I'm going in the dark all the time. I was doing that tonight and something made me smile. Ok, tell me if you've ever done it before and then I'll tell you what moved me about it tomorrow ...
When I was a little boy (I couldn’t have been more than 6 or 7), my mother and I were riding in the car one day and she looked over at this car that was passing by and her eyes lit up. In my little boy voice, I said, "what mamma?" She said, "you see that car right there, that’s beautiful." I said to her, "when I get big I'm going to buy you that car." She looked at me and said, "OK baby," and smiled. I don’t know if she believed me, but she sure ...
