About A Nightmare

I was asleep. It was around 4 in the morning. I was laying on my stomach all comfortable when suddenly I felt a presence in the room. I started to jump up but I couldn't move. Then a man laid on top of me. All I could see was his dark shadow from the corner of my eye. In my mind I thought to myself: "Get off me!" I tried to voice it but the sound would not come out of my mouth. Something was stopping the sound. His cheek was pressed to mine. I remembered this had happened before. The first time it ocured I was 25 and married home alone late at night. He just stood over me that time. He has since grown bolder. My ex had just left for work. When I woke up and saw noone in the room, back then, I was terrified but this time I was calm. I spoke to him in my spirit, "I am not afraid of you." I tried to look back but couldnt, his body was heavy on top of me. He felt like a 250 pound mass. However, I could tell he was tall and lean and seems like he had a hat on, like those hats detectives wear in the old cop shows with the trench coats but I could not decipher who he was.It was a dark figure, black as night. I could feel his hatred for me. When I finally managed to look back just a little I saw a long pointy nose and the corner of a downturned mouth. I repeated again in my spirit "I am not afraid" and suddenly the weight lifted from my back and the man was gone. I was able to sit up; I jumped out of my bed and looked around my room...and no one was there...I spoke, "Hello" into the night. My voice had returned and I was relieved. Then I sat down and thought about everything that happened and I came to the conclusion that that night the devil had come for me. I believe it to be true; it was the devil. It was a long, pointy nosed devil. I am almost sure of it.

To My People In The Struggle...(repost)

If I was to tell you that you are something special, would you agree with me?

Maybe you would smile and say, "I know" but in your mind you'd think, "I guess".

Baby, look at these words and believe it in your heart; YOU ARE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

There is not another like you. You are a Queen, (A Prince), A Diamond, a Jewel. You are more valuable to this world than the Sun. You are a great friend, lover and confidant.

I think you should know it.

Today is not just another day. Today is a blessing to you. It is your gift for being who you are.

You CAN get the job. You CAN lose the weight. You can make him/her happy. You can impress your boss. You can and you will. Here is your renewal of strength. Rise up and take it.

You are something. You are something else. Dang, You are something special. You are off the chain. As a matter of fact, Girl (or Dude) you are Da Bomb! Go ahead, pop your collar. Shake them haters off! Do whatever you have to do. The DREAM is yours and you will LIVE it. The gift is yours and you MUST give it! Don't you see? Don't you feel it? It is your time. The time is now!

Your prime is now. You are indeed a sight to behold. Don't be afraid of you. You are a leader! You are #1. You can and you will be___________________.

Tadah! your dreams are reality if you only believe.

Movie Quotes; The Great Debaters

Who is the judge?

The judge is God.

Why is he God?

Because he decides whether I win or lose, not my opponent.

Who is your opponent?

He doesn't exist.

Why does he not exist?

Because he is just a mere dissenting voice to the truth I speak.

I'm feeling green this morning....

CWA Tip of the Week: Recycle that junk! Go GREEN!
With a new baby I have accumulated so many plastic Similac containers. I have no idea why I started collecting them but now I have a trash bag full. I thought to myself...what should I do with all these containers...reuse them...maybe make storage out of them...but what could I store in something so small...spare change? sugar? flour? well, whatever I store I would have to wash the containers out first...take off the labels and find a place to stack them...
all of that didn't seem like it would ever happen...You know how you plan to do something with the junk in your house but you never get around to it and the stuff just stays there forever? Well, these containers have been collected over three months... then it hit me...Why don't I recycle them? I mean it's not hard and

I could help the environment or even make a little cash! So I started searching online...

I typed in "recycle plastic, dallas area, TX" and wallah! tons of sites appeared.

Listed below are a few of the ones I really liked.

Woohooh! I'm going green!

I am going to drop my plastics off today,
I hope you, too, will join me!

Even Angels Learn How to Fly

This song was right on time. I am so sad today but Fantasia sang on the Monique Show, "Even Angels Learn How to Fly" and it made me cry but also encouraged me.
