  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,

Dead Soil
Helloo Everyone!!!

I’m back!  And I’m glad to be back. These JOBS(just over broke) will get you into them, and out of yourself.  When you know your passion, it’s what you always come back too, and writing is mine. So I’m back with more stories, more laughs, and more of The Real Mommie Teresa!  I’ll do some catch ups with Teresa blogs also, but today I want to talk about my topic….”Flowers can’t bloom in dead soil.”

I was listening to Periscope yesterday, yes Periscope, I’m on it..@teresacrawford, just in case you want to follow me.  I’ll be doing more of those soon too. 🙂 Well
Ms. LaToyia Jones,(Check her out) was on, and she talked about don’t quit before you start.  Another great topic, but during her discussion,  she made a reference that no flower will bloom if the soil is dead.  That took me to so many different places in life.  It was like I could just see the dead flower limping, and wondering what it would take to bring it back to life.  Then I hear it.. “new soil”.

To the point, when something has expired in your life, then the time is up.  That can be a job, a lover, a husband, a wife,  a car, a house, a friendship, or whatever.  When you’ve done all you can do to make something  work, and it’s not working, then maybe the soil is dead.  When the soil is dead, water doesn’t work, fertilizer doesn’t work, nothing works.  The only thing that will work, is to dump that soil, and replace it with new soil.  So what am I saying?  You already know. Get rid of what’s keeping your flower from blooming. When a beautiful flower is dead, it limps over, the colors fade, the leaves fall off, and the total appearance of the flower has changed.  That means, you look sad, you feel bad, you feel depressed, you’re angry, you don’t want to do anything productive, your spirit is dead.  Is anyone experiencing that?  If you are, then you need to dump that dead soil, and replace it with new, fresh soil!  With new fresh soil, you get revitalized, you get refreshed, your color comes back, you start feeling good about yourself, and you start to bloom!! Once  you start blooming, then you start growing, and you get stronger and more beautiful  That soil that was killing  you, is gone, and the new soil has brought you back to life.

New SoilThat’s life.. don’t let what is not for you keep holding you down. The only way you will flourish, is to not be afraid to make changes in your life.  That decision is NOT easy, but it has to happen.  If you keep doing what you are doing, you’ll keep getting what you are getting.  The only way you will get something different, is to do something different.  If you keep doing the same thing and expect different results, you’ll just see that flower slowing starting to limp and die  So today, replant that flower in some new and improves soil!  Help that flower bloom and blossom!!  Now is your season!!! God will reap your blessing as long as you sow.

A sower went out to sow.  And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.  Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprung up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched.  And since they had no root, they withered away.  Other seeds fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked them.  Other seeds fell on good soil, and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.  He who has ears, let him hear.  Matthew 13:3-9

That message just reiterates what I’m saying.  Be careful where you put your soil..the ground also needs to be ready for the soil.

As Always..

Love & Kisses,

The Real Mommie Teresa

I visited a church here in Charlotte today and the Preacher spoke from Psalm 145.  A song of praise of David. (Ironically my lil Cousin David got baptized in Ga today also, congrats David!!).  Well he talked about a divine comeback.  And I’m just reiterating in short-term what I think we all need to hear.  We all pray, and we ask God for what we want.  We wait to see what God says, but most of the time, we don’t hear the answer because it’s not what we want it to be.  When you pray, and listen, then you can hear where God will lead you, but when you pray, and you think that God is giving you what you want, then you really don’t hear Him, you just assume that He will give you what you pray for.  God sometimes says NO.  When He says no, you don’t hear that.  You go out and make that mistake and then you want forgiveness.

When God leads you to unknown territory, He has a purpose for you.  Even though you may not agree, or you may not know what the outcome will be, He does.  When He removes people, cars, money, jewelry, friends, or anything from your life, He’s getting you ready for what HE has for you.  If God ask you to give up all your riches, would you?  If HE did, it would be because He has something greater for you.  I truly believe that.  God will take ALL you have, break you down to nothing, and test your faith.  If you can worship and praise HIM when you have nothing, then He will give you everything.  I know my faith has been challenged, but I believe in HIM and I know that  where He leads me, I will go.  Once you get that understanding of who HE is, and the true power HE has, then you will understand His word, and His works.

So in closing the Preacher said to say goodbye to all the things that are holding you back from your blessings.  Goodbye bad relationships, goodbye abusive relationships, goodbye to abusive behavior, goodbye to struggling, goodbye to being broke, goodbye to anything causing harm.  And stop introducing yourself as who you used to be, such as, I’m a divorcee, I’m a recovering addict, I’m a felon, I’m a struggle mother.  Introduce yourself as who you are now, not who you used to be.  Let the past be the past.  He brought you through it to make you better, not to relive that situation over and over again.   Just as I needed to hear this and I definitely live by this, I wanted to share it with you all.

So be blessed,

LOVE, HUGS AND KISSES

Celebrate your Children

IMG_3782.PNGIn the midst of the verdict last night, it saddened me to know that there was not enough evidence to even ACCUSE that cop of killing a child. A child is dead, is that not evidence? A judge and jury should make that determination. I just feel so sorry for any parent that has to go through losing a child by any means.

After watching the verdict and with so much emotion, my Baby Girl and I had a FaceTime date. With her being in NY and me here in CLT, it’s hard to celebrate special occasions. But a Mom will find a way! Christina said this year she was going to be “Fearless”! And fearless she is. She started her new position at WBLS and she’s doing an amazing job!! Landed her account from start to finish by being “Christina”! I salute you today Baby Girl! On our FT date, we shared a toast and I was the toaster! As I told her how proud I was of her, I watched the tears roll down her cheeks. I know they were tears of fulfillment for being fearless, accomplishment for doing a job well, pride, for making MOMMIE proud, and hurt for what we had just witnessed on TV.

With all the emotions going on between the both of us, point is..celebrate the life your child leads!! Celebrate everything! Our children need us. If they are 3 or 33 or 53. Let them know you are proud, give them encouragement. Be their biggest fan. And when you do all you can, you just stand. Stand and watch the tears of joy you and them will shed for life.
Don’t let a moment pass where they don’t feel you appreciate the things they do!!

And kids, remember…everything you do, every action, every thought, your parents worry about. We want to keep you safe, we want you to go home every night, we want you to grow up and give us Grandchildren, and most of all, we want to see you alive and living!! I celebrate today as some parents grieve. And parents, always know, that we can easily be doing either. Just love your children, support them and do all you can for them. It never goes unappreciated!!
Have a blessed day!!!
Love and Hugs

Who’s Loving You?

IMG_3751-1.JPGHello Everyone!! I’ve missed y’all and I hope you all have missed me too! Well there’s been so many things going on in my life and so many changes every day! I’m going to update you all, but it’ll have to be in a few blogs.. Don’t want to write the book, but I probably could with the whirlwind that goes on in my life! But as I was meditating this morning, I had a revelation that I had to share. I know God shows me things that HE wants me to share, and that’s why HE gave me the gift of communication.

This morning as I was having breakfast, I was just reminiscing on where I’ve been in life and all that i’ve been through. I looked through my old pictures, and I looked at my new pictures. There was a big difference in my old and new pictures. The big difference was that in my old pictures, they were full of friends, family, house parties I had, events I planned. In my new pictures, it was only me. Then I realized what God was saying to me. HE was letting me know that now I live for me and Him. I thought my life was full when I made everyone else happy. I went out of my way to make sure anyone around me was happy. I threw the best parties, I had the best Sunday dinners, I did everything extra to make everyone else happy. If anyone needed me, I was there in a heartbeat! I gave all of me to everyone accept me. When I moved to Charlotte, I was lonely because I was missing my friends and my family. I didn’t have all those people around me everyday to make “them” happy. I questioned God when I got here as to why HE was sending me here all alone. Everytime I had a small doubt that something wouldn’t work it, it did, and in a big way! It was like God was making sure everything went perfect to keep me here. So finally I got used to being alone, then I discovered who I was. I realized I liked serenity. I like peace and quiet. I like cooking for “me”. I like taking me out, and doing what I like to do. So today, I had as Oprah would say, “an a-ha moment.”

Today I realized that God moved me away from everyone, because He knew that I would never leave my friends and family. He knew that when anyone called and needed me, I’d stop doing everything I wanted to do, to make sure they were ok. He knew I wouldn’t take care of me, for taking care of everyone else. So HE knew that HE had to remove me from the equation so HE could give me what I deserved and what HE had in store for me. God had to move me, to get all the people out of my life that were hindering me from receiving HIS blessings. The people that I cared so much for, HE showed me that they were never about me, it was about what I was to them. So when I had nothing to offer them, they were gone. It’s a little tough when you realize that you’ve spent so much of your life taking care of everyone, being everything to everybody, then you discover you really didn’t have anybody. The people that remained true are the ones that God wants you to focus your attention on. I know we all suffer with trying to take care of everyone, but what are you doing to yourself? Who’s loving you?

So today I know who I am! It took me 50 years to learn and discover this. I know God has so much in store for me now that I can see HiM and I have the time to give HIM all of me! He removed the distractions from my life. The ones HE didn’t remove, HE opened my eyes to realize they weren’t in my corner, or they didn’t care about me, and they weren’t going in the direction HE was guiding me. I say this to let someone know, that it’s ok for people to be removed from your life. God has to remove them so you can be ready for what HE is about to do for you. If you aren’t ready for something, God will not give it to you. If you have people in your life that will hinder you from receiving God’s blessings, HE will remove them. Once you are free from the bondage of the so-called friends, you will see the friends and family that was, and always will be there for you. And in my heart, I still love everyone who crossed my path. Even if God removed them, I truly love people from the heart, and I’m sure they all knew that. I may cut them from my life, but I know I will always hold a piece of them because they were once important to me, and that you can’t lose. It’s ok, to still care about them, but also know they weren’t meant to go where you are going.

Why do I share this? Because being the “Real Mommie Teresa” I want to give this to you all before you get old, waste a lot of time trying to please other people while neglecting yourself. Once my children were grown, that’s when I should have started living for me. But it’s really hard to take care of “you”, when all your life, you’ve been the nurturer. Discover who you are, take some time away from everyone to see who really matters. Stop being the Go To person. Ask God what it is HE has for you, and if you are ready, He’ll show you. So who’s loving me? I AM, and I love loving me!

I’M BACK!!!
Hugs and Love

When You Are Out Of The Game…

ImageI have to learn from my life lessons every day. So it’s things that I go through that makes it easier to write about.  Do you know how hard it is to be a Champion?  To be a champ, you have to practice, practice, practice, and more practice.  Then after you do all that practice, you have to play the game. Sometimes you win the game, and sometimes you lose.  But when you play a game, and you are losing, how do you keep face, and make a come back to win?  Almost like a football game, and in the 4th quarter your team is losing 28-0. But the Quarterback, the leader of the team keeps the Faith.  He knows that if everyone on the team does what they are supposed to do, that they can still win.  The team has to have FAITH in their leader, and when they do, they score 4 touchdowns and a field goal!  They win!!

With that being said, in life we sometimes feel we are out of the game.  Sometimes you can’t find your way out of that rut, that hole, that situation, those surroundings. But then you have to always talk to your Captain in silence. He will whisper to you what you need to do, then HE will send a representative to reiterate what HE told you.  What you will find is that, you have to put your head back in the game if you want to win.  And to win, you have to have a goal, an acheivement, and something to look forward to at the end of the game. If there’s no reason to win, why play?  Once you get that goal in order you are playing for, then put your helment on, wipe your face with your prayer cloth, and get in the game!  Game on!  Play to win, and win to play! 

Life beats us up so bad sometimes and we have to think about all that we went through to get where you are today.  We are not the only ones that go through it.  All of us go through situations that can make or break us.  We go through times when we want to throw in the towel and say, forget it!  But times like those, think about that FAITH of a mustard seed that the QB has, just when everyone thinks you’ve lost, and you’re out of the game.. BAM!!! Touchdown!!  So never think you can’t, because YOU CAN!  Not only do you get back in the game, you get in the game with your game face on, and you WIN!!

Now I gotta go play!

Hugs & Kisses
