Overcomers (Lemon"AIDE")

A Drink on Me

Everyday is new and each opportunity beautiful! Cease the Day, Cherish the Moment and never take your own life for granted. From The USA to London to Greece and The Bahamas to Belize', much love to all of you that have supported me and that will continue to support the vision for those of us who have a MUTUAL LOVE FOR INTEGRITY & INSPIRATION!

While I prepare the next piece that I am writing that is blessing me as it develops, regarding something so sweet, special and profound, I wanted to share this piece that has been stirring in my spirit. I pray that you are blessed by the poetic short stories and pieces below and are motivated to touch someone else's life today! I Beseech you to look for opportunities in your busy lives to Uplift someone else, and maybe share whatever strength and wisdom that you have received from whatever you have experienced. I believe that When Each one of us decides to teach another one of us, we all can be lifted together and GO HIGHER AND HIGHER..

Lemon"AIDE"

- Our life coaching "HELP MEET", our intellectual, emotional, physical and psychological, fruit producing inner strength, activated by life's experiences. Often times precipitated by the overcoming of trials and tribulations. This is our positive in all negatives and the only sensible mindset that we choose to use after many failed attempts to go forth in this world as we hold on to the past. It is the 'Aha' moment that we experience after putting on comfortable running shoes to chase after our own tails. It is the ultimate EFFECTIVE coping mechanism. It is the utilization of our many crutches to LIFE CHANGING RESOURCES! It is the Fire up under our being, when we are pushed to make lemonade out of the lemons that life give us. It is the conduit of ever changing progress that CREATES hope out of NOTHINGNESS AND HOPELESSNESS. IT IS OUR OWN LEMON"AIDE", It is how we get through the storms, go through the rough times ad come out changed for the better.

To some, it can be that interesting complexity or our drink of choice most enjoyed during Triumphant times, but it will always be our "Cleansing Punch" when we are STILL STANDING AFTER A BATTLE. It is what lies at the core of who we were created to be, MORE THAN CONQUERS, OVER COMERS and SOJOURNERS WITH A PURPOSE.

What I Believe
("Being is believing", YMC)
I believe that behind every good person there is a piece of greatness waiting in a special little box, that only they know how to open. I find this to be so true by looking at our many great peacemakers, civil rights leaders and trail blazers. They were able to find that special thing that they believed in and were willing to die for in order to bring a change. Now please understand where I am coming from...One thing that each of them had to do, was be willing to step out on faith and make specific things happen. I have seen quite a bit in my life, many of which I can never forget and alot of which I hope to never see AGAIN.

One thing that I am always amazed at is, the human beings ability to believe that a change will come, even when its black as night and there hasn't been light in a long time. Ive been at both ends of the "HOPE" spectrum and chose to become a REALIST WITH AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW. Even though its hard to face music that we don't make, I believe that we must look on the brighter side of things, even when its darkest. I believe in God and I believe that, Greater is He that's in me than he that's in the World. I am more than a Conqueror.

Storytellah

May you be blessed by the excerpts from the short stories and poetry below. These stories are connected the first written from the perspective of Ms Gia (the woman who was placed in D.O.C.M.I.A.'S Life to help her). The 2nd story was written from the perspective of 1 of D.O.C.M.I.A.'S children in their early 20's, and the 3rd written by D.O.C.M.I.A.'S daughter that was most affected by the destructive life that her mother had lived.)... Enjoy

D.O.C. M.I.A. (Destined to Overcome, Missing in Action)

It's a Good Friday Morning beautiphul...
bright and shine, how you doing?

I smelled what I thought was bacon,
and wanted to see what else you was cooking!

and since the door don't ever close
I didn't think I would be imposing

so I just came on in, you know as a friend
and thought I'd help you out on this beautiphul morning!

open up them blinds
and put something on your behind

wash your face, get it together
and stop complaining and whining

Oh, you look so weak, have you been to sleep?
I've been trying to help you as much as I can
but I too have my own family
I just saw my Little baby, running around here, where is she

come give me a hug, you so cute,
why is your face so dirty?

Hand me a diaper, I'll change this one,
What you mean, she's wearing the last one?

Now I understand why all night Ive been smelling pee
Oh you so precious, and girl you know this just makes me upset

I got to confess, the reason why I'm here is to help you clean up this mess
its a quarter to 7, where them babies at?
they got to be on time for school today
cuz if not, they might just get left back...

You so broken child, you act as if you ain't got no power
and the way you doing your life, make me wanna holler
did you know that, your daughter is cutting herself in the shower?
and the boys, stuffing toys at the bottom of the oven
and your oldest daughter, dirty dancing, talking about how she gonna teach the younger one
Your sons playing with guns
walking to school, showing off weapons

I'm real concerned, how this little baby get burned?
when CPS come get em all, is that when you will learn?
It ain't much you can do when you ain't tying them tubes
and don't you know that twins at the same time,
can't wear the same pair of shoes?...

That man in that room, don't care nothing about you
talking about you got company, tell me this, what do he do?
he ain't getting up for work, wearing that ole tight referee shirt
and you walking around here, with hickeys on your neck
and just made 32, still getting a SSI check
for what, didn't you just take the MCAT?
and have a degree in economics
This is nonsense, you are lazy and you need to come up out of this

Talking about how you're afraid to enter the workforce again
drinking and watching TV, hanging out with lazy friends
and the lights about to get cut off
I know you don't want to go through that again

because of what people might think of you
boo hoo, join the club
eating on a daily basis, and not struggling for nickels is whats up

Every weekend, rushing, looking for a sitter so you can go out
you have children and they need you and
you're all they talk about
as a nurse you planned and worked
but now you just scheme to make the system work
and on the first, you get an energy spurt
putting on your short skirts
with long stringy weave, and heels that got to hurt
and get an attitude when a car stops and asks if you putting in work
what do expect when you walk out the house looking like you turning tricks at church

Using food stamps as a means to get gas
because you won't take a chance to believe
that there's more to life than where you're at
even if you weren't raised better than that,
you ain't got to pay your rent by laying on your back

I know you ain't been right since your husband left
but guess what, he's on the other side of town
washing his brand new corvette
and I understand you depressed
but girl, in spite of it all YOU ARE BLESSED

Now if you want better for yourself
I can help
lets get these kids dressed
off to school
and lets get to opening up some of this mail
and you need something nice to wear
and call The House of Beauty to do your hair
because I care
and as long as I'm here
you will prosper
and that this plan, you've been working
has nothing to do with the FATHER
SO THAT'S WHY I BOTHER
I know you didn't want to end up like this
and you just feel like every break you've had, you've missed
So how about this, you take a little dream break
and think about the changes in your life you'd like to see and make
while I put some clothes in the wash, and scrape Tuesdays plates
AND LET A MIRACLE take place
ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE PHAITH
See I know you've been Missing In Action
and not because of drugs, but the way life had impacted
and I'm just determined to say this
that I know for a fact you're an OverComer
and Destined for greatness
and where I come from
we believe that each one teach one
and I refuse to leave behind another woman.

M.s. G.I.A. (My sister, God Is Able)

When I was a little girl

my momma met this lady

who would baby sit us on weekends

and make us steak and potatoes with gravy

which we loved, cuz at home my mother's boyfriend

usually ate with us,

and he would eat all the white meat

when she cooked chicken and biscuits

this lady lived downstairs

and usually wore suits, had nice glasses

and short pepper gray hair

and she was real nice too, had a husband who was a doctor

and a son that went to my school

always coming by at night when momma worked the NICU pool

and made sure we did our homework and took our baths and got ready for school

and when things got better, she still would check on us, even though we was old enough

and I remember this one time when she came by,

and got us all dressed and dropped us off at summer school in July

and she drove her van cuz our wagon had gotten stolen

and she rubbed mommas shoulder all the way, cuz she was so emotionally broken

and played some gospel music and clapped her hands when the spirit start moving

and at her house was always listening to a little jazz music

she prayed more than GRACE with us

and that's why I think momma

stopped dressing like that clown on the bus

and she began to smile more and got her hair fixed

and starting taking us to church every Sunday until she got sick

I believe that even though we had it rough, that Ms G.I.A was why we kept nice stuff

she worked long hours as a secretary

and some how made it home in time, to be a doting force when things got scary

and she helped our momma, even when she wouldn't listen

and for birthdays, graduations and holidays would get us nice gifts and

would sign mommas name on cards at the bottom

so we wouldn't be sad cuz she was always working

and even though our daddy was close but missing

we never felt a shift, because his place was filled in

and for 12 months we struggled with state help

until momma could make enough and afford the cost of living all by herself

It had been at least 10 years since we saw her

and we all had at least one child and me a grand daughter

but today even though my biological was buried away

I couldn't forget the ONE, who was responsible for most of us being saved

and she looked the same, except she was completely gray and

walked in wearing white, on a silver cane

and it was like she brought in that beautiful sunshine once again out the rain

and my sister and momma both resting in peace would have loved to see her

they would have enjoyed this blessed reunion, with this interceding peace keeper

but they couldn't be here, and I'm sad but this day has grown sweeter

because I wanted to tell her that I appreciated her, and as a child I disrespected and

made life a living hell when she would keep us

So I followed the casket, and began to walk towards the back,

and she REACHED out for me, and my brothers too in fact

and at that moment I hung my head low in shame,

and she LIPHTED IT HIGH WITH HER HAND,

AND SAID ALL OF YOU I PHORGIVE IN GODS NAME

and we shared a long hug, and it felt just like my first full Christmas

and she whispered, God bless you and may you know whose and who you are

and that everything you touch will be blessed and prosper

And you know I'm gonna say this, just like every morning and every night

NEVER FORGET YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS

AND THAT GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT!

Now that was the happiest day of my life!

In memory of Ms. "GIA " Bernadine Price (6/25/1935 - 9/11/2001)

Liphted (Changed for the Best)
I used to be that one that people loved to judge
who acted out, only because I struggled with self love
I would fail purposely time after time
justifying it with my selphish state of mind,
and I know it was no one's fault but mine
but yet I blamed, everyone I could
instead of standing up and doing everything I should
At times I was so angry
asking God why did HE make me
becoming a time bomb ticking gladly
welcoming those who were sad and dreary,
most of many who meant no good to me
and often found myself disrespecting
but at least I had angels in my family
and welcomed their wisdom because of all the fear inside of me
I was nothing nice
and to tell you the truth, didn't do a whole lot right
until I decided that whether or not I was guided
that I had to change some things

because I was blind sighted
and no matter what was going on outside of me
it began totally, within me
So I asked God if he would forgive me
I promised to walk straight on the road
even if it was too narrow for me
so in an instant I became free

because of what I chose to believe about me

and began building a better life for me

watching my mouth
and began putting negative people out
I began to grow stronger inside daily
and got better living with purpose then maybes
and learned how to welcome all kinds of weather
and knew that with God, I could only get better
Whatever
and those who used to know me
found that I walked confident and bolder
and that my actions spoke in volumes high as the sun as I got older
and some looked at me out the corner of their eyes
thinking I was the old me and up to my same old ties
but not this time
I've changed my mind, and left everything that was not like HIM behind
because I suffered, when I lived under
the rock that kept me covered
Instead of downing me
I chose to hear what HE said about me
and that was a simple change to make
when I understood that HE didn't make mistakes
but I know now that I'm more than a conqueror
and an Over Comer and a Real Life Soldier
Whoo Ra
and If I had to do It all over again
I wouldn't do it on the Buddy System
Just me, my excuses, my complaints and reasons
that will be washed away with my new phound PHREEDOM
See, people I respect them, and when they come controlling and boxing me in
I won't let em
Because I'm happy now, and I love to smile
and I'm good at all the things that I was told I shouldn't be
and can't nobody, no where tell me more about me than ME
AND WHILE I'M AT IT, I'M WALKING STRAIGHT INTO GOD'S DESTINY
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WHAT'S FOR ME IS FOR ME

BloomPHIELD

BloomPHIELD

I opened my eyes on a new morning

besides PHORTUNATE PHRUIT

and realized that I'd never seen the Sunrise like this

I skipped through a field filled with the most beautiful roses grown on the Bridges of Heaven's county, placed in my way before I began to dream

I changed my mind today about

how I looked at Love

and what I expected from it

I heard love Blooming in Phorbidden Phields that

have favored my words for entry

I changed my heart in the midst of

character building moments that challenged me to

open up and receive that of which I've been sharing all along

and realized that it wasn't wrong but the timing in its own right

was mating with destiny

for the first time in my life, I truly smiled not because of the glamor of what has been done for me

but the priceless treasures in the little things

that I now happily accept and receive

all around me sways peacefully to the rhythm that my excited heart shares

the birds, the wind, the trees, the rocks that fall down the hills that lead to my castle

I've found a peculiar optimism buried within the trenches of my liquored tears
and I'm renewed, and fashioned WHOLE again

I closed my eyes today, while sitting beside Growing PHRUIT

and am resting, enjoying and looking forward to the sun's

Phortunate return...

PHUNNY Valentine
...The last balloon has been released and the teddy bears have found their rightful place upon the bed in between the two pillows that dress its crown! Some of us are starting to pick up the rose petals thrown from the night before (or morning) and cleaning up the wax that spilled throughout the night or day...Whatever your exploits, the essence of Valentine's Day lingers through your memories of days past and those to come, hopefully giving you both something wonderful to look forward to next year!

Although I believe that we should create special and monumental times with our partners, I am not a fan of waiting long periods of time to do so. I believe that Valentine's Day and Sweetest Day are not the only times of the year when we can make efforts to express our affections, spend QUALITY time together or experience romantic moments. GOT NO TIME FOR THAT! EVERYDAY SHOULD BE MADE SPECIAL!

Personal Celebrations
Who doesn't like to celebrate designated Holidays! If your partner is special to you on these Holidays, then I am sure that they are the rest of the year as well. No matter what you may go through TOGETHER, sometimes you will find that taking time out of your LIFE, Your Day and your own enjoyment, to show them that you care, CAN ACTUALLY MEND WOUNDS AND START A HEALING THAT ONLY THE TWO OF YOU CAN PARTAKE IN. Through your enjoyment of the PHRUITS that your togetherness PRODUCES you will find new strengths on new levels, and that, my SWEET PHAMLI is priceless!

I believe that whether its twice a year or four times a year, there's never enough that can be done to Celebrate YOUR partner. Whether its a simple or complex gesture, just do it, because that is what makes your specific relationSHIP special! Give them something to think about and put a little something on their minds that makes them smile or blush. Remember its the simple things and a little effort can go A LONG WAY!

Remember - doing the things that your special one desires, takes nothing away from you. It actually adds to you, because that is one more attribute and characteristic that will keep you on their good side! SMILE
LAZIbone

I believe the reason why so many people get into relationSHIP funks, is because they are LAZY! That's right, I said it. I believe that we have to be motivated to do more in our relationsSHIPS, especially if you want them to work. It's important to be mindful of the other person, to plan quality time (yes in the hustle and bustle of this bad economy) and it's important to always make a note to let your special person know that they are exactly that, SPECIAL! Just because you don't feel like saying the things that YOU KNOW THEY LIKE TO HEAR, or do the things THAT THEY ENJOY, doesn't mean that they don't REQUIRE IT.

Give it Up, Don't Give Up

Sometimes, you just HAVE to put the okey doke down and do something different! In my opinion there should never be a day that goes by that your partner doesn't know at least how you feel or receive SOMETHING from you (like: a hug, kiss, card, term of endearment, wink, poem, letter, note, phone call, email, gift, touch, quality time, dinner, lunch, breakfast, intimacy, voice mail, etc...).Now, if your first thought is, "Hey I can't do all of that or I don't have the time". It's okay, but at least PICK 1. GOODNESS! (SMILE)

Although people can be complex and often times difficult to please, THEY WILL RESPOND TO CONSISTENCY!! Sometimes when going through a rough patch in a relationSHIP its difficult to continue doing something sweet that you've always done because YOU'VE BEEN HURT; However, THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING THAT Brings Forth The NEWNESS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP.

Envy Not

Now we all know how easy it is to become envious of someone else's relationship, especially when yours is lacking in a certain area, right? I believe when two people are intentional about pleasing one another in ways that they've learned that the other ENJOYS, it WILL MAKE FOR A BEAUTIFUL PARTNERSHIP/RELATIONSHIP! Your partner's conversation should not be dominated with the continuous mention of what someone else's partner did for their special one, but appreciation of all that you've done and efforts you've made. FYI, if they don't have anything to say, then maybe you need to give them something to talk about.

I believe that If you lift up your partner,

you will draw all of your desires to you and your needs will be met!

Communication Is Key

Remember, communication is key and asking your partner what they want and desire is essential to the healthy foundation in which your relationsSHIP is built. Your partner might just adore the way you recite poetry; but if you break out in song all the time and they don't respond, you can't be upset, because you didn't pay attention to what they desired. I suggest opening up the lines of communication, and expressing freely. Be open to speak your mind and the more you talk, the easier dissolving inhibitions will be. Set goals together, and one of them being, getting to a place in your relationSHIP where you can LEARN one another without holding back. Always, ask questions and never finish sentences when it comes to listening to your partner's needs, because assumptions can make you miss the best part of learning your special one's uniqueness. Plant greener grass WHERE YOU ARE, Remember that weeds that you see from afar, can appear green as well.

About Last Night
One of the awesome things about having someone special in your life, with whom you can enjoy the PHRUITS of a RelationSHIP with, is that you don't have to be limited in what it is that you can do!!!!!!!! UMUMUM (ohkay!)

Whether its traveling, dreaming, partying, laughing, discussing your future, or whatever you desire, it can be wonderful.

I believe you should ENJOY one another, HAVE A BALL! Set Goals, Make Plans, Dream, Go for long drives, Dedicate Songs to One another, etc...! Remember You Must Be Proactive, Innovative and Out the box, when it comes to pleasing your mate.

In today's society with the economy's current state and our schedules being so busy, often times our mates fill a line in our appointment books, this is not good! They shouldn't be just scheduled in, but made apart and be treated with care and intention. Plan for their voice to be the last one you hear in the evening before you rest, and the first one in the morning after waking (if you can) because there ain't nothing like feeling special. Remember, everyone is different and just because you don't need something or something is not important to you doesn't mean that your partner doesn't need it. That's what healthy sacrifice and compromise is about. Learn it, Live it Use It.

LOVE no Limit
Often times I believe we get caught up in reminiscing about things as if we can't do them again. Like magical nights, phenomenal conversations, sweet dances, good dinners or really awesome dates. Sometimes couple's get stuck inside the box and are afraid to try something different. DON'T BE AFRAID TO STEP OUT THE BOX AND ENJOY ONE ANOTHER.

Remember doing things Just Because, are alright, its a beautiful thing when you just want to bless your partner with a token of your love, appreciation or thoughts. There are so many people in this world who look for love and use its undisciplined affections as rebounds or quick fixes. I believe that having something that you can build upon and enjoy with another willing human being is AMAZING!

The Sweet Test

Ok, now we understand that we are not limited to celebrating and thoroughly enjoying our partners, on designated holidays. I believe that there should be at least two days out of a month set aside for you and your sweetie to do something special, have a date night and enjoy one another without interruptions (work, kids, etc...) Make plans for just the two of you, whether its a romantic dinner, a night out on the town, a beautiful night at home a rendezvous somewhere special, watching a movie together, etc.. Make memories LAST!

If you know that you partner likes to be romanced, then do it and do it well, Goshdarnit!! If you know your partner desires you to role play, then guess who needs to learn something new! How about a simple request to wear something, don't be stubborn and compromise, they are the only ones that will see you in it. How about if they love the sound of your voice, or accent, you need to be working on a lyrical serenade! OHHKAYY!!!

Whatever YOUR partner's thing is, you should have a PHD in it!

My Dearest PHAMLI,

This was a beautiful week! I tell You, because I've learned how to receive good things in its due time. I had a free moment between pieces and wanted to share this piece. I completely support the desires of others to maintain strong and healthy relationships and believe that sometimes we have to see ourselves higher than where and what we are in order to reach even the goals and desires that we for our relationships. It is my prayer that you find new and exciting ways to get up and NURTURE your relationSHIP and find the beauty in the origin or your union.

If you have ever found yourself in a position in your relationSHIP where you've noticed that your good intentions were pleasing to you only, PLEASE CHANGE THEM QUICKLY! Remember, envy of outside relationSHIPS has no place within your relationSHIP, and when you enter into a PartnerSHIP with another person, your job is to please them as their job is to please you - REMEMBER THIS!

I challenge you to have, an Easy Conversation with you partner, and ask them, "WHAT CAN I DO TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE?" Remember we all react to things differently, but hear them all the same! Plan an evening or two or three with them and enjoy them, have fun, smile often and kiss much, and whatever you do KEEP GROWING AND ENJOYING LIFE TOGETHER! Until Next Time

Be Well

Belazadu'm

an excerpt from

SoHaI

A margin call for encountered eyes

what you see through me

I enjoy anxiously

Floating while reminiscing

as Love's fate begins fixing

the pain caused by destiny's vixen

causing granted wishes on the run to listen

giving Remixed invitations

warming fresh innovations

a thousand roses for your thoughts

tic toc time indebted to our wants

as fantasies confirm reservations

touching where winds won't blow

rhythmic movement of our souls

healing wounds we can't show

flying through moon clouds real slow

to crazy feelings locked by HOPE

butterflies rest between our toes

made sane by our connection

we've grown complete and now whole

if we stop now,

we'd lose the fruit of what we've invested

crowned heads you and I

I follow you, closing my eyes

your lead I must know

quieting my storm as you flow

as we travel through Love's station

the sweat of life's clothes your face and

we enjoy the inside of passion

bodies overreacting...

Lovgistics 101

PHLOwers in BLOOM

May times when in relationships, we oftentimes forget that we are not in them alone, and there is another WHOLE person involved that has their own feelings, ideas, opinions and set of ways of doing things. We have to step outside of ourselves and learn to accept the other person and all that they have to offer as we expect them to do for us. Everything will not always be our way, and vice versa. Once we are able to think of the other person more than ourselves, we can learn new ways of nurturing our relationships so that there are no holes and gaps.

As many people prepare for Valentines Day, I challenge you to aspire to build a healthy, lasting and enjoying relationship filled will love, enjoyment, peace and love that will last beyond February 14. In the midst of your planning something Special, take time to write some of the goals that you have as an individual and those that you desire with your special person. Remember, no matter how much we "DO US", those that love us would like a piece of our time, hearts and minds as well. Whether its quality time, conversation, having fun together, etc...Do it. Make it a point this week to tell them and show your significant other how special and important that they are to you. Step out of yourself and have a BALL! Enjoy yourself, your week and eachother.

An excerpt from

"Lov"gistics 101 (Instructions to - learn it, Apply it and Preserve it)

Sometimes you have to sit down,

and take a deep breath, inhale what you want to change

and exhale making changes

relax for a moment, and at that second visualize what you want to happen

where you would like to be, and what you want to become

Start taking inventory of thyself, and if need be change your mind set

Organize your thoughts, reveal your desires, move with action

correct your mistakes,

and pick apart the causes and the effects

or better yet, how the decisions to delay your growth may affect

the ones that you love, who require you to go an extra step

Truly you know that love is an action word, often times doubling as an adverb

None the less, we must not forget from life's experiences what we've learned

You must apply the wisdom that we've heard, whether from an elder

or an inexperienced nerd, as long as the shoe fits, it works

and never act as if you have forgotten your worth,

exposing yourself to meaningless conversations filled with negative words

Many of us carry note books, filled with notes that we took

expressing feelings, during times when our experiences were character building

and the benedictions and outcomes of how we got through those turbulent life streams

Carrying bags full of broken dreams, some in tact, but most shatter kicking and screaming

we've even cracked our own jokes, about being provoked to break them on our own

Walking around unfamiliar outskirts, growing bitter, guarded and alone

Enjoying the voice of "RITE NOW" lovers giving us unhealthy sweet strokes

Finding a comfortable place in boxing rings with friends

learning right jabs and left hooks, that you can't wait to use on your next victim

entertaining ideas, about being a playa, but in your heart that's not how you see your future

You begin to notice your traveling patterns through life,
and how you've conquered pain induced sleepless nights

Praying for "The One" and Better Times,

straying away from detrimental soul times

Closed up shop, cuz your heart gets cool then burns hot

then you find yourself becoming someone that you're not

and you've had to take a chance, to table romance

until on your own two legs without staggering you could stand

and no rebounding, that just leads to disappointment

So your bad decisions, pay attention before you make them

and willing hearts don't start fires, so use your discernment before you take them

and never love someone so much, that you can't see straight

and when you know you're being played, bow out the game with grace

and choose the words carefully that you allow into your ear gate

You seek balance, but call it A CHALLENGE?, cuz you're out of sink with the FATHERLINK
and when you're tired of being tired, that can't be the only time you allow HIM to speak
a beautiful bird can't fly long on one wing

and without God's strength your changes won't be lasting
you do understand that His love is all you need to be COMPLETE?

You must clear your thinking pallets of old files full of

miscellaneous jar gin, destructive thoughts and failed strategies

replacing them with positive intentions and hopeful pedigrees

It's important to specify the position of your partner

placing them in a place that YOU WILL NEVER FORGET

set apart, untouched and protected for you to enjoy as you see appropriately fit

Crown them proudly with significance

Making emotional arrangements accordingly
disciplining yourselves to be present, open and willing

to Listen, to Love, and to Enjoy with authority

This is your blessing!

Don't move forward too quick, nor shoot without direction in the dark,

don't dive deep without looking, and make crystal clear your part

May God Bless You on your journey to Love and Prosperity!
