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.

This message was right on time for me. God knew I needed this message at this time in my life and I just wanted to say "Thank You" for this message from God. It was exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I was not only broken-hearted but broken. It wasn't so-called friends who had hurt me so badly, but family Tyler...family who had stabbed me in the back & talked about me even accused me of being a thief. This message is like you wrote it especially to me. I have forgiven them & moved on & I wanted you to know I've let go & let God handle the situation for me. Man have I ever learned from this experience!! Thank you for allowing God to use you to reach people like me. I know you don't know me & probably never will know me but thanks for the inspiration. Just keep on writing & sending me these inspirational messages.

This message came right on time (even though my response is late-so sorry). My heart has been broken in the personal area and is constantly being broken in the job/career area. I feel so weak but the crazy thing about all of this is that I don't know how to hate these people. I find myself from time to time going home in tears. And then this person that I work with disrespected me in such a big way. I just wanna hide away somewhere just for a little while. I do not want to be at the job anymore but I want to walk out on my own cogniscance and not be let go. I know that their plan is to do away with the old and let in the new so I just wanna do it myself sooner than later. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I love you dearly Tyler and may God continually bless you abundantly and overflowing! And I pray that God bring me through all of this successfully... spiritually, literally, mentally and emotionally.

Mr. Perry, I am inspired by your life and I thank God and pray for you, often. I am a 63 year old student in a Masters' degree program. I made some poor decisions in my life but I learned that I didn't have to let that stop me from accomplishing my dreams. One step at a time, I have through perseverence, written a book andalso about to publish my second one. I know I have to guard my heart but I think that I'm addicted to giving. I get this incredible feeling of satisfaction in doing for others sometimes to the point of overdoing it. Helping others helps me grow and mature. Keep up the good work, Tyler and may God continue to bless your accomplishments.

I was really inspired reading this letter. I am a single mom & while I was going through my divorce & a even few years after I was constantly trying to "please people". I felt obligated to ensure my kids kept in contact with my ex husband's family. As I kept telling myself the divorce happened between myself & my ex and I needed to keep my kids connected to their family. Eventually I stopped taking my kids to visit their family because I realized if I didn't make the effort they never bothered to find out how the kids were doing. It took me 7 yrs to come to the realization I was "people pleasing" and needed to stop. I have no one to blame but myself, but during that time God brought some really amazing people into my life. It's when going through a tough time in your life that you realize who your true friends are. Even though divorce goes against my christian beliefs, if given the chance I would never want to go back & change a single thing. God really took me through some character building during that period in my life. I have so much in my life to be grateful for God has really blessed me & my kids & still He continues to. When people ask me what my relationship status is I say I am HAPPILY DIVORCED. I get the odd crazy look or that awkward silence, which is kind of funny. But I am just that ... HAPPY ... many people may see divorce as a "tragedy". I saw mine as a new beginning a new season in my life. It took me from been "dependant on someone else" to been independant. Had I not gone through it I would not have the amazing relationship I do with my kids & friends. But most of all I probably would not have realized that in ALL things I need to thank God for his constant blessing upon my life. I've learnt to embrace & celebrate the big & the small things in my life. My kids & I know what it's like to have everything and then to lose everything & have to start all over again. But now we know to trust & fully rely on God for everything ... there will always be people who will dissapoint & hurt us in our lives & I still continue to have my struggles. And I may not yet be where I want to be ... BUT... I thank God I'm no longer where I used to be.

Hey TeaPea! This is your sister, M. I'm so excited! Why? Because I can send messages again! Wow! There's no way that I can reply to all of your messages you've sent in the past few months. I'll do the best I can. How in the world have you been doing? I see you're taking some time off and that's a good thing. (LOL) Wish I could join you, for real. Yes, the Bible tells us to "Safeguard your heart", (Proverbs 4:23), your figurative heart, what you think about, feel, your actions, etc. Very important. I consider myself to be a ROOT person. Yes indeed! My roots are so deep that I sometimes get strangled. (LOL) Take care. I'll reply to another Message now. Have a great day! your sister M.

Your comment has showed me to keep being who I am. I've wanted to give up on being nice and giving to people because of those who take advantage of my kindness. Now I know that I must keep on giving, just giving to someone else. Also I would like to add that giving comes in so many ways. People always assume that it's money or gifts. You can give of yourself, with your time and efforts to help someone that just needs some help. Amen

Dear Brother Perry, I was tremendously blessed by your 'Guard Your Heart.' As a pastor, a female, white female, who sings like an African American person, entrenched in Black Gospel, born raised in New Orleans, LA... now transplanted in the Pacific Northwest.... It's as you described. And to boot, my middle name is Darlene... It means 'keep your heart with all diligence, out of it flow the issues of life, as proverbs states. This ministered to me - and I'd love to receive more to recharge my life, so include me on the elist. Oh sir, I love you're work, I pray for you each time I think of you, see your name etc, your work on film, in community. May you continue to be used for the glory of the Most High God. May your life be continually an overflow and outworking of the Creator, Our Father's blessings. Pastor Julia Neufeld “I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health.”
