As I sat on the couch and watched my Dad in the hospital, with the oxygen in his nose, he would take these deep breaths, then he would pause before he would breath again. I would sit there and watch him, just to make sure he could breath. As I watched him, and I watched tv with all the protests in Charlotte, all I could think about was the phrase, “I can’t breath”. When it weights this heavy on my mind, I have to write.

“I can’t breathe”.. The 1st time was when my Dad told me my Mom died. I remember taking that deep breath in, and not letting one out…

“I can’t breath”… When I saw my Mom in the coffin and the glass covering her whole body..

“I can’t breathe”… When my Grandmother was dying with cancer and on her way to the hospital she said, this was going to be her last trip to the hospital because she knew she’d never come home again.

“I can’t breathe”.. When I found out RC had died in surgery from a car accident and my 1st born child would never get to see his father.

“I can’t breathe”.. When Jr. didn’t wake up and Nita told me to get home as soon as I can because my Brother had died.

You get my point? I can breathe never ends up with something good. Then I think about when a parent has to see their child gunned down in the streets. Not by a police, but by ANYONE!! I think about the wives who witness the murder of their husbands, I think about the men who are only trying to protect their families, or the women who are trying to protect their families. When you can’t breath, your chest hurts, your eyes fill with water, and you don’t know whether to run or be still, but it all hurts!

I can’t breath when I think about the injustice of society. I can’t breath when I think about how we’ve worked so hard to get to where we can all get along and “society” can rip us apart like paper. I can’t breath when we as MOMS have to bury our children too soon for nothing. I can’t breathe when I see racist hate because of the color of someone’s skin!  Not breathing hurts.!! The only cure for not breathing, is breathing! I pray for everyone to be able to breathe. Not breathing is a natural part of life that was made to take your breath away and it already hurts, but the unnecessary “I can’t breathe” has to stop. And once I finished writing this blog, my updated iWatch said “BREATHE’! So it’s also taking 1 minute for you to just take time from you day to breathe. How ironic. Look at your life, look at the people in your life. Look at who’s worth your breath, and those are the people that you fight for! Don’t settle for the injustice.  We’ve come to far to turn back now.  Breathe!

Love and Hugs,

What is “Your” Purpose?

Lately I’ve had to ask myself over and over again.. what is my dream for me? And I can’t seem to come up with an answer.  Does anyone else feel that way?  Do you all realize that our dreams were for our children?  Our dreams were for the future of our children and we never made dreams for ourselves.  My whole life revolved around making their dreams come true.  Not once did I ever dream of what I wanted.  Now that I’m in a position to truly try to live my dreams, I don’t know what they are.  The dreams that I had, aren’t as meaningful now because the kids are adults, and the things I wished for them, are almost complete.  So now I’m on a “make a dream list” for me.  And I think you all should think of that too.  Think of what it is you would dream of for yourself.  Write it down, and then you’ll have a goal to work toward.  We have to live life for more than working for the pleasure of others.  I know I’m a fine one to talk, because that’s what makes me happy, but it doesn’t complete me.  So all my Baby Boomers.. we are over the 50 mark, and we have to live out our dreams now!  What’s your dream?

Love and Hugs,

Men..We Need You!!

I’m always blogging about us women, today I’m gonna do a special day for the “Men” that are doing the daggone thang!! If this is you..keep reading!!  If it’s not..read anyway, you need to hear this. 

To our men, we love you!! We love you and we respect you! We give you sons and daughters to protect, and to develop them into who they are supposed to be. We give you our hearts and our souls. All we ask in return is to give us back what we give you. Is it possible? Yes it is. I’m not a man basher to say men ain’t taking care of their responsibility, because some men are handling business! Some men are truly providers and protectors! Some men want the same thing some women want, to be happily ever after. But I’m gonna say this, just like some men, some women aren’t worth the happily ever after. Yes ladies I said “some”. We all look for a mate that is compatible to us. So you have to look at your strengths and your weaknesses and find someone who compliments them.  
To the single Fathers..welcome to our world! You get it! To be the sole parent who has to do everything, it’s tuff! You DO NOT have a life! You DO NOT have the right to be sick, or give up! Your one job became 3!! But the instincts of providing for a life kicks in, and you then understand, by any means necessary. You then have lived half the life of a woman. 
Men, God made us for you. He took one of your ribs and created us. He meant for us to be by your side and support you, love you, bear fruit for you. He gave us the honor to give life. To create a life “with you”! To have two souls come together to create a miracle. He allows us to come dang near death to bring In a life that “YOU” helped create. Yes I said dang near death…before epidural and all them pain meds..childbirth is the closest pain to death!! And I know!! And we do that for and with YOU! And men, while we are carrying your child, your child hears you, knows your voice also. You’re the one that makes Mom’s heart beat faster, you are the one who makes Mom’s blood pressure go up, you’re the one who can change all her moods in a matter of minutes. And yes, that child knows you!! 
So men that are taking care of us…thank you! Men that love us.. Thank you!! Men that provide for us and our children..thank you!! Men who aren’t afraid to be honest and give your heart..thank you! Men that are being loyal to their women and not afraid to tell the world..thank you! Men that are being men..thank you! We need you! We need you with us!! We need you out of jail, we need you drug free, we need you working, we need you to be role models to our sons, we need you to protect our sons from police and teach them the laws! We need you to teach our boys to be men! That’s what we need!! And to those that are doing all that…if no one ever said thank you.. The Real Mommie Teresa says, THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU!! I pray for you everyday and if you aren’t there yet, my prayer is that this will touch you and let you know how we feel!
  Love & Hugs

A Happy Place

  Have you ever been at a point in life where you feel like life is just great? It’s funny when you’re happy, and people can see the happiness in you. When you lose your joy, it shows in everything you do. The way you talk, walk, dress, and act toward other people.  When you’re not happy, you attract people to you who are in a place where you are. When you’re in a happy place, you attract happy people. It’s strange how that works out, and how the body can show emotions. People want to be around someone who has really good vibes and are emotionally stable. So I challenge you to take a few pictures of yourself on a day you are really happy, then look back at a day you weren’t happy and see if you can see the happiness radiate from within yourself. 

God gave us all an internal light to shine so others can see it. It draws people to you. It lets them know, you’re one of the chosen ones, and God has you. So find your light and let it shine. When you find your happy place, no one and nothing can really steal your joy. God has you and He has control.  I have the attitude of “won’t He do it”!  And I ain’t going to let no one steal my joy! 

Today I pledge, I’m done with drama. If it doesn’t make ME happy, I’m not draining my emotions. The feelings of happiness gives you energy. It doesn’t drain you. If it’s takes negative energy…lose me with it!! 😁.  Being happy is too easy. There’s a simple solution. If it doesn’t make you happy.. Let it go.  See if your happiness returns. If it does, then that problem was stealing your joy. 

Hugs and love,

The Real Mother Teresa

Start your day on a Happy Note..

I woke up this morning, and after my prayer, I went on Facebook.  I saw where people had died last night, and accidents, and sadness.  My heart then went to a sad place.  I had to go back in prayer and start all over.  Then it hit me… I will not be starting my day off with things that are not happy!  I turned on my “happy” music. That was the song “Happy” by Pharrell.  Then guess what, my mood changed!  I started dancing, clapping, and singing!!  My mood was adjusted so fast because of my instincts.  I knew where I was going with my mood, and I changed it.

  
We can all change our moods.  If you know something isn’t bringing you joy and happiness, change.  If it stresses you out, change. If it causes you to not sleep, change.  If you don’t see anything positive, change.  You get it right?  Change can change you!  It can make you happy, better, stronger!  Don’t let the “world” make you unhappy!  It’s crazy, because it seems like November and December are always my “change” months! I purge my phone, deleting negativity, purge my social media, deleting irrelevant.. I wondered why, then I realized that I refuse to start a New Year with something that does not make me happy!  And changes have been made!! LOL.. I’ll update ya later on those!  But I thought someone else would need this today.

So remember, if it’s not making you happy…CHANGE IT! It’s all up to you!

Hugs and Kisses
