  When I left my job I went through a brief identity crisis. For the first time since 6 th grade I didn’t have a ‘socially acceptable’ job. I couldn’t say I work in the BCBG Showroom in NY,   I’m a DM for medi spa, I run a few of the LA based Free People stores. God sure knows how to humble you, lol. Now, I was an ACTRESS? And I put the question mark there because that’s how I said it.   I had friends saying, what are you going to do? I had family saying, Tommy you ain’t got no job (they still say that) , I would meet someone & they would say but do you have a survival job? and in my own voice I was saying GOD, what is next you know I got these bills ,rite. I had always been the one who was early for work, who left late, who came in on her day off, who you had to make take her vacation time, who called when she was off and now GOD was saying. You did all of those things for them, what if I say I’M YOUR BOSS! You now work for GOD. You don’t have to wait a year f...

  I had no idea how selfish I must seem to God. I left Baltimore at 18 years old. Since the time I left I think I’ve probably mentioned 10,000 times the things I gave up to pursue this dream. The relationships I walked away from, The graduations, birthdays, mothers days and parties I miss out on, etc. While I realized early on that Baltimore had nothing to offer me in terms of my career, it’s my home. There are certain things and people you can’t get from anywhere else in the world, but ur home.   Than suddenly you leave and how you remember home to be, changes each time you return.   Baltimore will never be the same. I think when I left I wanted it to stay the same. I wanted my friends to always be there, I wanted the hope and carefree feelings of childhood to remain, I wanted to pick up rite where I left off each time I left and came back… but life keeps going and it took losing a life long friend for me to understand      ...

When ur hard headed, you have to be prepared to learn lessons the hard way.  Maybe one of my handicaps has actually been what I’d previously prided myself on. Do you guys think you can be friends with an ex? And is that answer contingent upon whether or not their/ur current is an insecure nut ball?  You see I’ve always felt like when an ex crosses the line, than the ex needs to be X’d. However if the split was amicable and both parties understand and respect each other and the person they are becoming individually, How do you then end the friendship because the relationship doesn’t work? You know there are tons of ‘technicalities’ when it comes to this and I could totally play devils advocate. There are so many variables to be considered. I’ve been on each side of this scenario more times than I’d care to have been but what I know rite now is, GOD WANTS ALL OF ME.  PERIOD! It’s almost as if he knows my proclivities, he knows my kind heart, he knows those who have be...

This past weekend my nieces were with my Mom. As we all skyp'd I joked with them about how lucky they are to have a GRANDMA like the one they have.  A day later I received mail from AUNT THELMA. God is truly amazing, for everything you 'don't have' he has equipped you with so many things and people to fill the gap. Everyone should have an AUNT THELMA :_) More often than not, I make excuses for people in my life by saying "They don't understand" "You can't support something you don't get" but My AUNT THELMA who lives wayyy in VA. and has most likely never had a desire to be an Actress, doesn't have to understand, to encourage me. When you love someone u encourage, support and become a prayer warrior for their success. Aunt Thelma sends cards for EVERYTHING and I KEEP EM  Thanks Aunt Thelma, for ALWAYS being on time. When I don't realize I need an Aunt Thelma card, they come and ALWAYS make me cry, lol. YOU are the standard ...

There are several ways to read the title of this entry and most likely depending on where YOU are, you have your own idea or implication of where this entry is going.   However, I wanna preface this by saying, it’s probably not what you think ,lol.. Now Beyonce (I love her) had the song out what maybe last summer, saying   “ thank God I found the Good, in Goodbye” and trust me, I got that! I understood that and I resonated with, that lol. However this entry is about                                      “ The   GOOD that you must say BYE to” Not every relationship will end with a painfully obvious reason as to why it’s ending. In fact the ones that don’t end with the, “im glad u left him/her” ending are the ones that actually hurt the most or tend to linger longer than they sho...

Atleast twice a year I have an overwhelming desire to re-read 'The Alchemist'. It's typically when I realize how pursuing my destiny is costing me my life. Anyway, if you've followed my blog or if we communicate on FB or Twitter I'm sure you've heard me speak of 'The Alchemist' well, I'm on it again, lol.. If you've never read it, it's life changing, read it! When I feel like i'm in a vital transition and God is really moving me to a new level, I tend to read heavy scripture. Now, I read the word everyday but in times of trial, honey sometimes I get to a place where i just sleep with the bible in the bed, just in case a dream wants to go south on me, lol.. But, no my point is that through times of trial I become distant, I quiet the world around me so that I can hear God's whisper and it usually takes me to a place of seeking his word all day long and 'The Alchemist' is always a book I grab to re read. My copy looks so bad, ...
