I have watched " The Crown" on Netflix and a hundred times and still one of my favorite parts is that parts where the queen dances with one of her former 'subject's . I liked the pure joy on her face. I liked that she did what everyone told her she shouldn't. I liked that she started standing up for herself and that was that was the turning point.  i liked that for the first time she showed that she was more that just their puppet she was someone who could and would change things. She wasn't she some 'old lady filling a role' Anyway I just thought I would share and tell everyone to catchup before Season 3 is out! Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

I'm not on the rooftop today. I'm on the bus riding to class.  Yes, I could drive but its free and it frees up the car for the Mister when he's off work. Not that I needed to explain things. But anyway I'm people watching and I see all kinds of people. Fat, small, ladies, men, boys and girls. Some of them just like me people watching forming stories in their heads and some also like be oblivious to everyone and everything around them. Is it because we don't want strangers talking to us or we simply aren't thinking jus using the time to get our thoughts in order. I'm a people person I need human contact but I don't go out of my way either. Its something I never thought about until this moment. I smile say hi but nothing more. I wonder is it something I should work on or should I stick to the line of not talking to strangers. What would you do?

      I'm sitting here watching Black Girls Rock and I keep thinking who can I call and talk about all this with so instead I decided to blog.   Don't worry if you missed it.  This is BET and it will definitely be on at least 10 more times. Up until this point my favorite part has been the tribute dance to Judith Jamison!  That dancing was phenomenal!  Now I know there is still an hour to go and they keep teasing Janet and the Aretha Franklin tribute.  I'm hoping some pulls Janet aside and takes that can pony tail off the top of her head looking like a fan unicorn. Wth? But since I know this has result already been recorded I'm stuck waiting to see this atrocity up close and personal.                See! Look what was the first thing you thought? Don't get me wrong I love Janet. I'm not hating and she is definitely a Black Girl who Rocks but still.........       ...

             Sitting on my rooftop looking out I'm thinking that Tuesday I start another semester of college.  There is a part of me that has completely lost my drive for a degree.  I think I've mostly come to the conclusion that for what I want writing and starting my own business selling soaps and lotions that I don't need a degree not really anyway. There may be some classes that I should take but a whole degree and just keep wondering if it's all a waste of time.  Then when I find myself thinking this I know that if it were my kids I would whole be stressing to them the importance of being in school, getting a degree because it will be invaluable.  I wonder if its just my age that has me questioning my need for it. I'm going to class and am just going to take it a class at a time a learn and decided from there. Anyone else out there going thru the same thing? Tell me your story maybe we can help each other.

           Sometimes I feel like I have all the time in the world to do whatever I want and then others I feel like time is running out and I should get busy, double up, save and plan.  Then I wonder if this is what my mind is like at 40 something years old what must my kids in their 20's be thinking.  I'm supposed to have it all figured out by now right.  I'm at least suppose to know the direction I want to go and I don't. I'm still lost feeling like a ship in a huge ocean just hoping that the next wave doesn't pull me under.           I have so many ideas and plans and dreams and I go out and see someone doing exactly what I know I can do and the only person I have to blame for me not doing it is me.  I'm stopping my own growth, my own potential.  Maybe now that I have said it. Wrote it down and acknowledge it I can move on from here.  I'll keep you posted.  Feel Free to comment and sha...

It seems that I am having a hard time finding something that will stay alive on my rooftop.  I can't figure out if they are getting to much or not enough soon or if I'm not watering or feeding them enough.  Is there anyone out there that can help me find some plants that will last on my rooftop?

        I feel it was just a few weeks ago I sat on my rooftop lamenting about how I had a plant and how I needed more.  Did I mention it was an Aloe Plant.  I just had to have it since the leaves give off pure aloe that's supposed to be so wonderful for the natural hair.  I got it and put it all over my head knowing how great my scalp and hair were going to feel. Damn was I wrong. Nothing felt good turns out I'm allergic to the damn plant.  I washed my hair two maybe three times a day for a week. My scalp was on fire. I couldn't sleep. I had to pay down with an airplane pillow so my head was elevated because anything touching it hurt. Allergy medicine have me minimal relief.  I ended up using baking soda and water then a neutralizing shampoo.  It was bad.  Just written about had my head itching.  It was terrible!!!  I didn't even want to sit out here because of that can plant.  But now it's dying.  I think it w...

I had my first check up and found that even though it doesn't feel like it and most days I wonder if it's all worth it when I'm running to the bathroom for the 10th time in an hour.  I found that yes maybe I'm on the right path because I am officially down 8 pounds so I will keep pushing and more updates to come!  Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

            I don't see hundreds of couples from my perch here on the roof but I see a fair amount.  I get to look at their body language and imagine what it is they are saying to each other even if I can't hear one word.  I can tell by the close of a door or the hand on a back even when they fight they are still in love or I could stop people watching and look inside my own life.              I can tell you that I used to watch those couples and wonder if all the touching and laughing was fake and forced until it happened to me.  Until my husband and I became that couple.  I wouldn't even call us that couple it was a title some of our friends gave to us but what I noticed is that the way we are, is the way we are all the time.  If we are mad or more to the point I am mad he's still there opening doors, holding my hand, touching me.  If we are just fine he is still the same never waver...

                  I remember everyone telling me your to big and you should start to lose weight now because the older you get the harder it is.  i didn't listen.  Then I did. I tried Slim Fast for awhile it worked but you know it got boring or something and I stopped and the few pounds I lost came back with company.  Then I tired Weight Watchers and again I lost some but counting points and the weekly cost got old and again i quit and those pounds came back with company.  And I tried a few other things a time or too or twenty and some injury would put me down because I pushed to hard or just was plan out of shape.  Then came the female issues that heavy periods, and constant cramping and just plain pain.  There was always something standing in my way.                       But what I finally had to own was the only thing standing in my way was me....

   How many times a day do you stop and ask yourself what should you be doing.  I recently had a hysterectomy and I find I keep asking myself what's next.  Like somehow a part of my life if over.  Maybe it's not my life exactly as more like a chapter in it.  I have five beautiful kids I can't ever discount that.  But I still feel that loss.  The loss of something more. So know I sit her looking out at the cars passing by and the mountains in the distance and I'm wondering what is next.  What am I supposed to be doing? What is my purpose? What's next? I had these same questions many times before but now it seems so much bigger. I don't have the answers yet but am I asking the right questions at least?  Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

     It amazes me how I can sit outside on the porch the evening and find it so calming,  All the background noise has become such come place that I don't even notice it anymore until I concentrate on it. I hear the neighbors fighting like always, the kids playing in the park below me, the cars racing home or maybe just to the next red light. I hear the sirens racing off in the distance someone too loud television and I always hear one of my own kids asking me for something and the sounds don't brother me.  I wish someone would record them so I can listen on those nights I can't sleep because everything is just a little bit to quite.   Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

I love that there are moments when I can sit here and block out everything.  I don't have to schedule something or plan something. Or wonder if everything is moving I can just breathe.  It goes without saying that we do it all the time but we never really enjoying it or focus on the in and out of air unless maybe in yoga like when your sitting our looking at the mountains in the quite while the world is just a little quite around you. Just take the time a breathe today.   Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

        Talking to my brother every morning he asks me where I'm sitting and this time I said I'm sitting in the porch.  Immediately I look around and I noticed the house dress I'm wearing, even though it looks nothing like my grandmas. The coffee I'm drinking and the plant I just watered and I'm thinking yeah I might just be turning into my grandma. Which isn't all together a bad thing!

        I have spent most of my life being a stay at home Mom.  There have been times when I have held jobs for years during this time but mostly since about the age of 20 my number one job as been the family.  I have completed exactly 2 semesters of Community College and it's time now to enroll again.  I want to.  I want a degree but I'm always back and forth in what I want to do as far as school goes.  I want to write, be a photographer, own a business where I make lotion soaps and candles and recently I have thought a lot about real estate.  A part of me says you can do it all and another part of me says woman grow up choose one.  It's hard because I can see myself doing them all and being good at it.  We have always been taught pick something. Stick too it but I feel my two year old self crossing my arms across my chest and stomping my foot talking about I don't wanna choose, I want it all.  Then my adult self answers...

Entry # 1                                  The first day moving here and looking out I had so many words I wanted to say and write that they all got stuck somewhere. I had so many things that I wanted to say that I just didn't know how to get them all out.  Isn't that the way of a self proclaimed writer you want to say so much that at times you don't know how to organize it all.  I found myself remembering the saying write, just write, write even if it doesn't make sense, if it spelled wrong or the grammar is bad just write and fix it later.  I know I paraphrased but you get my meaning so that what I'm doing just writing one comes to me.     Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!
