For you my sister, my friend

You my beautiful sister are worth you weight in gold

Your eyes sparkle like diamonds

Your worth is more than how much you make

or measured in the width of your hips.

You are a Beautiful Black Queen

Whom so ever that doesn't see your strength

take a closer look.

Your strength comes from HE

He who has made the heavens and earth and has breathed life

into man.

Those who fail to see your light or try to steal your shine pale on comparison

So my sister despite the turmoil that may be surrounding you

stand fast to your strength God is in control.

thats the way love goes...

So... now you say you love me, said Im the one but you cheated on me
when things dont go your way its an issue but I am to be the understanding one
excuse me for not giving a flying fuck what you want
this was never a love thang
I my friend am done!
get over yourself because I am and will continue to be...
over this so called love thang you have going on.

Hitting the town to see PJ Morton sing! What a lovely experience I had... I think I have fallen in love with his music and wondered where have I been as Baltimorians all around me sang and swayed to the soulful music and i although enjoyed the music swayed along wishing I knew the lyrics like those around me. This experience was one that I would repeat if the chance arose in a heartbeat!

This is PJ in action! He is awesome artist and man of God who isn't afraid to share his gift with the world. His new Album

is called "Walking Alone" available on itunes and currently on my ipod! this is the music that speaks to your soul and makes you want to fall and be in love! I am so glad I listened to a friend and attended the show!

Music is Love

Last night I fell in love with music all over again when the souldful sounds of PJ Morton filled my ears. I wondered where has this love been all my life and why am I just awakening to it. I am ready to embark on a jorney but I must "walk Alone" as his new album is titled...

April Sunshine

falling into the curve
the loop and the line
swirling and twirling
always on time
finding the song
the list so great
taking the sound
bending time
waking
walking
skipping
dreaming of the day
the day away
touching fingers on end
staring into nothingness
losing the laughter
finding the answer
white clouds pass
lines edge on
waiting in silence
to feel the light.

Running

OK... So last week I decided that I, plus size Jen wants to be a runner... right!

This decision came as I searched the net on 5K's coming up in the next few months in the Baltimore area, and my Big Boss doing a triathlon... Needless to say transitioning from a walker on the treadmill to a runner didn't go so smoothly! So equipped with the app on my iPhone couch to 5K I knew I was well on my way to tackle the necessary 8- 1 minute running session... Boy was I wrong! My body began to rebel against me the second 1 minute run I began and didn't relent until I was standing still rubbing my aching shins. Man this was going to be harder than I thought... So this week I have sworn off the elliptical machine, the source of some of my thigh pain, and began to build up my endurance slower this time on the treadmill. I will not give up, I will not give in! I will be a runner and all I need is 9 weeks... :) slow and steady distance is what I am looking for not short and fast...

Reflections

I decided to give this blogging thing a try and as I began to write, I had to sit back and think on how much God changes things. At times I begin to get sad, but the good always outweighs the bad. I enjoy my life presently but sometimes long for what was familiar in the past and the comfort that it brought. Now don't get me wrong I love my life and where I am presently but I miss my family and my close friends.

It's been two and a half years since I've been a resident of Maryland and I have changed by leaps and bounds as a person.I have met a group of outgoing career minded women who help keep me active and joined a church that has been anointed by God with a Pastor who is truly on fire for God! I believe that everything good or bad happens for a reason and is His will.

Since I've moved to Maryland I have lived in 2 different counties, purchased a car and rented my first apartment by myself. God has been so good to me throughout this transitioning period in my life and hasn't failed me yet. I don't know where I would be without God my father. These are the times where I, as a woman of God will continue to grow into the woman that will make a difference in the world.

This is me Jennifer from Connecticut living in Baltimore and loving it!
