Sometimes I will stop and write letters to all of you just to let you know what’s going on with me or even just to say thank you. Some of them are my experiences from day to day and some are about what I’m doing next or just pages from my journal. I’m sorry that I don’t write often, but because I write all of them myself, and with my schedule… well you know how it is.

So, if you want to get them emailed to you personally, just sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of this page. I appreciate you.

I personally don't think it's fair that someone as rich as her can steal another person's dream spot. There are tons of people in this world who just "want to act" or "just want to sing" and their dreams don't come true like that. This is Whitney Houston's daughter, this girl doesn't need to do another thing in her life. Her life has been fantastic enough from birth. Tyler you struggled to get into this business. You wasn't just given a part just because. It saddens me to see this. Tyler I normally agree with all your work and support your movies. This time I must say, I turn the other way. No longer will I support. View More: Maria Thompskin, July 20, 2012, 9:08 p.m.
Tyler Perry, WOW!!! I have no idea how you have remained calm through this but I have just read 3 pages of comments from so called "grown folks" and I am blown away how these people have let this one girl get their emotions all out of wack. Kim Kardashian is NOT God!! She is just a person just like the rest of us who I am QUITE SURE have done some nasty things is our past it just wasnt put out for the world to see....but GOD SAW AND HE KNOWS and could've allowed our business to be put on front street. But some of us get so "saved" that we forget I slept around too, I made stupid decisions, I drank, I smoked, whatever the case was ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY!! I see no reason to boycott or choose to not support anything else that Tyler does. It's ridiculous! What if God chose not to bless us because of our past and punish us instead? Think about carefully...alot if not most of us would be sitting in a padded room somewhere wearing a jacket that makes you hug yourself. But Im soooo glad God is not like MAN! He forgives but we who are "supposed to be like him" choose to judge and persecute. I am amazed by the ignorance displayed in majority of the comments I read. Some of you even resorted to using profanity?!? REALLY??! Come on, it is really not that deep. Some of you need to brush the dust off your bible and remind yourself of the forgiveness of our Savior. Remember the woman caught in the VERY ACT of adultery and by law should have been stoned and Jesus himself said " He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." All of them left one by one, none of them could comdemn her and Jesus said to the woman that he also would not comdemn her and to go and sin more. If you need another example the criminal being crucified with Jesus asked him to remember him when he came into His kingdom and without hesitation or an assessment of his past Jesus said that "this day shalt thou be with me in paradise." There are sooo many others I could go on and on and on. Just understand that when God forgives that's the END of it and he doesn't bring it up again, he casts as far as the east is from the west. LET IT GO PEOPLE! Kim Kardashian has done nothing to any of you saying such harsh things about her. Why don't you pray for her (remember? the same way someone prayed for you?) that God will save and deliver her so that she can be used for His glory...because He can because HE IS GOD not any of you. You have neither a Heaven or H*** to put her in, just secure your seat in the kingdom. Because despite all our mayhem and foolishness He still loved on us! Check yourselves and get the beam out of your own eye. Sorry Tyler, I just had to go in on these folks just a little bit LOL! I still love and support you because you are letting your light shine by giving those a chance who others turn away just like someone we know named JESUS!! Peace and Blessings to you!! (praying for your strength as well) Christa ;) View More: Christa, Nov. 18, 2011, 3:46 a.m.

I have a ?. 1800 choke that hoe! Why? Why you make that song? I was watching the movie the other day and that song didn't sound anointed by god. The devil may have chosen it but god ain't nowhere in that's! A woman is being choked now and she's not laughing neither are her children. View More: Fee fee, Texas Sept. 18, 2012, 10:28 p.m.
Tyler, I commend you for your stand and your heart to bring healing to a community/my community that has been hit by divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect and the like! But I'm not sure I agree with you keeping Kim Kardashian in your movie. I don't beleive she married for love, nor do I think she cares about anyone other than herself. Is there hope for all? Yes. Should she be given a chance? Yes. But I also believe this might be a good opportunity for her to realize that you can't do people and marriage any kind of way. Maybe a slow d** from the top will bring her back to reality! Of course you will do what you want, but be ready if your fans don't like the decision you make! ~Tera View More: Tera, Los Angeles Nov. 17, 2011, 12:28 a.m.
GOD bless you!!!!.....You don't know how much I needed the email you sent today. I am a 38 yr old mother of 3 who in December 2010 was diagnosed with non hodgkins and hodgkins, and a low grade bone cancer. I have been cancer free for one year. No one in my family has a has been or is a homowner but I am and no one in my family has a degree but I am on my way. I wanted to break the cycle but got side tracked with health issues. I was actually thinking about quiting school because I was giving up on myself and going against GOD in a way. I was thinking why continue with school, I'm too old to start a new career is what people have been telling me and in the back of my mind I've been telling myself that the cancer may come back and kill me anyway. Receiving this email today is what I needed to push me forth. I should have realize that GOD pulled me through for a reason.............thank you so much View More: June Hamilton-Dawson, Charleston, SC July 30, 2012, 3:45 p.m.
So you made an erratic traffic maneuver, you were pulled over, you had tinted windows and made sudden movements in front of police officers…and then they let you go because you were famous? You really know how to relate to the common man. Good thing you put your two cents in about the terrible killing of a young man and made it about how you are allowed to drive poorly.

Just heard about your loss, although i haven't known you for long, but i know within this short time of my knowing you, i have come to like you, and i know that just like you came out of you childhood abuse and overcome it, so shall you overcome this grief that you feel with the help of God, i feel your pain and the loneliness you feel right now, wish i could help you come out of it but i am far away and all i can do is pray and wish you well.

Guard Your Heart and Mind

If you can get this, this will change your life… I was out taking my morning run. I love how still it is when I’m running. I can hear clearly and really commune with God. I wanted to share this with you. It’s a lesson I had to learn.

One of the keys to success is to be able to guard your heart. Now, usually when someone says guard your heart they are talking about keeping yourself from heartbreak. Although that is important (as long as you don’t go overboard... but that’s another conversation) that isn’t what I’m talking about. When we are born into this world we enter with such a pure heart but as we grow older situations, circumstances and people tend to make us change. Now I know it is nearly impossible to keep a childlike innocence in our hearts all of our lives, especially after people have betrayed, lied, mistreated and downright been the devil. Trust me when I tell you, I have seen it all. I have been there big time. If you’re like me you’ve been there too. But if this is your situation I want you to know two very important things about those moments of heartbreak. Number one, learn the lesson in it. See how it will work together for your good, because it will. Once you do, it’s easier to forgive and move on. Secondly, and this is just as important as the first one, you must not let that person or people change your heart. What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a giver and someone you have given to misuses your gift, don’t stop giving… just give to someone else. If you are a person that loves people and someone you love hates you, don’t stop loving… love someone else. Eventually, you will find people who appreciate your kindness and your love. Remember this, lots of people have been conditioned to not be able to accept purity of heart. They can’t take it in. Most times it’s not even their fault. It’s just what has happened to them on their journey in life. But don’t let them turn you into one of them. There will be a lot of people in your life who will not appreciate your pureness of heart. If they hurt you don’t stop being you… just be you with someone else.

Why is this so important? Because God blesses you according to what is in your heart. If you are being kind, giving, loving and sharing because it is in your heart and you are not looking for anything in return, then that is a heart that God wants to bless. If you change who you are because you’ve been hurt, then you’ve changed the thing that God wants to bless you according to, and that is your heart. The people who hurt you are not worth that. You can lose everything that you have, but don’t let anybody change your heart.

Tyler

Where that AOL, came from I don't know!!!! But it should say, "does take work..."

I was on my way to another one of your posting. However, before I could get to the one I had in mind. I came to this one. Which is just as well important. Have u ever felt like a fool? Do u believe that a woman should be submissive? I desire the person to whom I'm to be submissive to & with. I know what it is to HAVE TO BE in control. I dream of being with the man who is worth me submitting to. People don't know this about me but God does. And just because I'm one way doesn't mean I can't be another way. It AOL takes work but I'm willing to work toward that goal. No one said it would be easy. Me being a mother hasn't been easy not one bit! However, when I look back all I can say is, God knows best & he is good & he is faithful & caring & loving. A new job or whatever, that's not of importance to me. What is top on my list is to love, give love, receive love & learn to walk thru this life with the man that loves & care for me as he cares for himself. And for me to see that I respect him. What is more important than that? What is more rewarding than that? What is more beautiful than that? I'll continue this conversation in a little bit. Happy New Yearssssss Tyler. 2013! :-)

These are some very encouraging & useful words/thoughts to remember. :-) I believe the heart matters a lot. I made a huge mistake(I know there's no such thing as big or small mistake) but as I was saying! Lol... After several failures, I ran into another one, like no I didn't do that! Lol... It was after one guy told me f' u & Jesus that I was too outdone. Just a few days later a friend girl & I ran into this guy that I knew since about 5th grade; that I never ever had given him even close to a chance. Even though he was the 1 my mom allowed to take me to my 10th grade military ball. He was/is several years older than myself & wasn't even in high school but my mom felt comfortable with him picking me up & taking me out. Ok, so back to I'm an adult w/ 2 young sons. Friend & I walking thru the store I run into Military Ball guy & we chat a moment, catch up briefly. Keep in mind I'm so outdone by this guy who snap crack pop & say what he says to me. That I immediately tells my friend girl, as her & I were leaving out the store, "maybe I didn't give him a chance, he has a good heart." She wasn't feeling me on that there! Lol... But I keep in mind at this time I still felt my sons needed a man/father-figure in their lives. And for some reason or another I said to myself, he liked me all these years, & I done spend time w/ dudes who ain't cared one way or the other about me. But I never liked him. Never was attracted to him. I just acted out of fear. I started planning a wedding immediately, like in 6 months we done said we do & we don't know if we got the same thing or not. In other words I had decided I wanted to do right. It was 1 month after that I came to myself & was depressed as hell! Worse than I had ever been b4 cause I done married this dude. U talking about feeling like u done failed God. That's y I was depressed, sick, sad, hurt, broken, shocked, u name it! We were already seperated in less than 6mos. I'm talking about for real seperated, like done finished over, no looking back. Lord, what were we thinking. I learned somethings so powerful, just by that experience along that I could have no other way. I learned something, believe me when I tell u. I learned somethings. That no one could have made me see without that experience. I just thought I would share that with u on today! :-) And that's been over 51/2 yrs ago. Right on! :-) ttyl.... :P LoL...

That is who I am. I made a promise that I would not let a love lost stop me from loving. I saw it as a journey in my life, a path that God put me through to get where I'm and is going. It was a trial to test and mold me into who I am and where Iam going. I do learn and grow from my trials. Besides, to allow yourself to love and forgive is strength.

Awesome, I always tell people continue to be who you are and let people be who they are. I told my daughter if you are a giver don't let people make you change that b/c they have abuse your giving just give to others who will appreciate & also when you give it don't say it is going to come back to you from the hands that you gave to. I love to give and help others so just continue to give and it will come back to you press down shaken together men will give into your bosom. Thanks b/c I knew that I was telling her right & this confirms it. God is so good and I thank God that I stumbled upon this n***** ( your website).
