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.
Sorry to hear that. God is telling you som ething. Sit down!!!!! You had some competition huh? I'm going to see my other baby daddies, brian mcknight and joe.

I have nothing is playing by whitney as I type last time it was donny hathaway. I'll dedicate this song to you also big country! :) I just had to throw some silly in my message. 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.

Hey Tyler: Just want to chat for a minute and give you some insight into who I am. Okay? First of all, I am a Christian and I have been with the Lord forty years and I'm not tired yet. Like you I have lived through some tough times in my life and like you I have overcome. I am 73 years of age and I am going to school to get a degree in psychology. For the past thirty-eight years I have been working for the Lord and secularly. I have raised two generations back to back and taken care of my elders. I have sheltered homeless people and witnessesed the hypocrisy of some of the "church" people. I have lived through the second world war and the civil rights movements. I am a Bible teacher, lay-counselor and a Christian advisor. My life is and haas been busy and full. I love the Madea movies. And I love the way you teach people how to live right and how to respect authority through Madea's escapades. God is blessing us each and every day but some of us don't recognize that it is Him who gets all of the gloru and praise. You bring that home in a subtle way that is discerned only if a person knows the Lord for his or herself. Keep up the good work and I know that you will be blessed in your new venture project with Oprah Winfrey. I'll be watching and cheering you on along with all of your other fans. Very Sincerely, Claudia "Mother Claudia" Jackson-Dillard Sacramento, CA

Thank you for "GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND". I have struggled with this only in this relationship for the past 20 years of my life and I don't regret it as I write you Mr. Perry, I have never met you I have only seen you on TV and in your (Why DID I GET MARRIED AND THE SECOND WHY DID I GET MARRIED). As you play your role you reminded me so much of my self I enjoy laughter but I really enjoyed your feelings and I felt the same way you felt as you played the role in both parts. I would LOVE to just talk with you but I know you are to busy, I could really use a littlel encouragment. I am a CHRISTIAN and I BELIEVE IN GOD and I know GOD is going to bring me out of this bad relationship for the past 20 years. Their is one thing I do know GOD DID NOT BRING ME THIS FAR TO LEAVE ME. PEACE AND CONTINUE HAPPINESS FOR YOU Mr. Perry. I truely enjoy your moveies.

Your post while a month ago, really hit home as my daughter and I talked this evening about her relationship and even if you love someone fully and give everything, if this person never gives a similar effort, you must be willing to leave and find a person that will not only "take " but give as well.

Thanks!! i have been in some situation that i gave my all out but end up getting hurt.Normally when its happens , i tell myself i will not give out again and i think about it and notice that it was not me but it was rather unfortunate that, i met the wrong people who couldn't know what they had been bless with.Some even try going to the point where they don't only want to break your heart but your spirit too.I always remind myself that THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.I was in one of such situation when i watch your movie "The preacher's kid" i remember this always when ever people try to till me i can't make it "AM WHAT MY FATHER SAYS I AM" I do believe if our Father knows we can't, He will not even begin it in us.

I was raped at 13 and didnt tell anyone.As a kid I just ran away. I DIDnt remember it again until I was 25 and wondered why I was bitter. I prayed and ask the Lord to help me forgive him. I found out not to long ago that somebody kill him. I didnt realize I was beautiful until I was about 28 years old. I just say I'm a late bloomer. I never been married afraid of abusive relationships. My time is coming. I am doing well now and ready for that new faze in my life. I am seeking discipline and leadership from a good husband. I always said my husband Must love the Lord.

  Hi Tyler you are truly an inspiration to me, as I was going through my divorce I shut down from the world, quit school and everything, here I was 30 with 4kids lefted alone. I remember watching every play and movie of yours and somehow I snapped out of it, It gave me hope, and courage to go on, and now 3 yrs later I have forgiven him and it feels so good. I hated the fact that I was lefted alone again, both of my parents are deceased and I had no one to depend on. God took all my support and taught me to rely on him and I got through it. And I thank God for you and your mind cause you dont how much you encourage another person. God bless you and Thank You
