What's Going On With Me

    I have some good news to inform you. I will be vending at the Blueberry Bash at Bridgeton Elementary School on June 2, 2012. The festival will be taking place from 9am to 3pm. I am working on a interview with a local author on raychelle-writes.blogspot.com. I will let you know when that interview is posted. Also, I am working on vending for the MUMFEST in October. I am continuing to work on other new pieces. One day is left.

Past and Future

 Audience two days left before I bring this to a pause. I will keep my promise. I will write time to time. As I was enjoying my holiday a piece of my past came knocking at my door to let them in. A part of me laughed. I thought at first maybe something was wrong with someone we both knew. Then, yes, it has been over a year maybe two years since this happened. I wonder have I forgave him. The answer is yes. I don't want any part of him. That person do know what he did. They need to realize I don't want any communication with him. God know what you did. I have moved on. My heavenly father will take care of you.
Beginning this new journey of me, the excitement has me shaking. For the first time I said "I wouldn't" going to do something. Personally, once I have ended a friendship or relationship I don't go back. For the first time I want to go back and try it differently. My process of changing little by little has given me this insight on somethings that I didn't see before. What comes to mind is the movie"Meet the Browns". Angela Bassett character was a single mother who was afraid when she fell in love with Rick Fox. She saw the love but when someone always wanted something from you. You can't tell the difference. I want to see what love is for real this time.

To Let You Know

     Hello Audience. I hope you are all well. I thought about this long and hard before I made this decision. As I am writing this to you. It hurts like hell. I know it is what I need to do for this particular time. I have to decided to discontinue the blog as of May 31st. I will peak my head in time to time to place a few words but I will not give it the attention of three days a week. I am so sorry to my readers and followers. This is where the fork in the road will make me or break me. I know I need this time for me. Also, I will keep you informed on any events, workshops or accomplishments that will take place. I thank you all. Please come in, click and read the pages of thoughts that I have left. I hope some has been encouraging and life lessons. Take care for now so I can so I can hug you later.

Trust

     It's amazing how things happen in life. You began to take steps before things occur. When the situation unfold you aren't surprised. The answers that you have been looking for still haven't revealed itself to you. You pray and listen. Confirmation comes in many forms, but you have to have someone to hold your hand through this transformation. The question present itself who can I trust? You know you can rely on your higher power. You hate to constantly leaning on that faithful one. Keep asking, searching and listening for that sign of that trustworthy friend. The song "You That I Trust"by Rance Allen, that song takes me to a inner peace. A peace that you wish you could feel everyday. Some say that's possible how when you forgot how to trust. Someone makes a statement I bet you afraid to close your eyes. I say"you damn right". I don't know what you would do to me. How do I live? I don't you cope and keep it moving.Once I get over this challenge I know I will go where I need to be placed. I'm back to one of the questions on the list. What's the next step?

My View As A Parent

    If you didn't know May is National Parenting Month. I  learned this listening to a local radio program. I know as a parent I second guess myself wondering if you have a done a good job. We do get that confirmation when someone tells you that you are doing a great job. It do makes you feel good. There are days you wish you had several clones of yourself so you can give your children more time. If you work, that is eight hours of your day as it is. The child or children in school that seven to eight hours of their day. Then Mother or Father gets home have to cook, help the children with their homework, or pick up food, go to a activity and  get to bed so you can prepare for the next day. That is your week. The weekend is time to relax but house chores has to be done before the fun begins. 
   Parents sometimes you wonder what can we do after we paid the bills, put a little money in saving and there isn't really enough left to do anything with the kids. Well, there is check your local newspaper for what events that you can attend that is fun. Better yet they are learning without their knowledge of it. If you have  a teenager that is a little different. An example with a teenager is shop online or play some games online. Another activity you can do as a whole family is give back to the community. Volunteer at a local shelter, soup kitchen, Salvation Army  or any organization that needs your help for a couple of hours. This is a life lesson to teach your children and remind yourself how fortunate you are. The career of being a Parent is the hardest job. The reward is the greatest.

Adopt A Hero

Dear Audience,

     I thank you for your support and advice, that I have received concerning the books, poetry, articles and the blog. If you haven't visit my website. I donate to several charities. The charity I have been donating my time and money to is Adopt A Hero. Adopt A Hero is a organization founded by Ryan Rust and his mother. This program help soldiers adjust to his or her deployment. Also, the soldiers need hygiene supplies, snacks books,etc. Each soldier may have a different requests. This charity is great. I enjoy meeting a new people. I feel a sense of fulfillment showing my appreciate to our servicemen and women. I recommend this to any who are skeptical about where their money go towards in any charitable organization. This charity you know where your money go because you are purchasing the supplies, packing and paying to send the packages. Another great perk is you can file this on your taxes.
Monday, May 28th is Memorial Day. In the name of a fallen soldier, a friend or a family in the military Adopt A Hero. If you don't want to Adopt A Hero. You can visit www.mellaniecrouell.com to see the list of supplies of the soldier I have adopted. This is my second adoption. This something I do with my daughter as well to teach her about giving back to others. I ask of you to give your time and show appreciation to a soldier or family. I thank you.

Waiting On My..............

     We all have experienced when "HELL" has broken loose in our lives. You actually ask God what did you do ? I used to ask that question. I don't anymore. I just tell God where is my blessing. He tells me its not finished yet, continue to fight this temptation and stand. I think about my daughter when I tell her to be still or sit when she is being a child. God gives me the warning  like Madea gave that little boy "three o'clock".....LOL. Then I go somewhere and sit and fight life until God say I can move now. Its funny how life can be a hurricane for days, weeks, months, and maybe years. Once that hurricane passed you noticed how hot is it. You see the damage all around you. You don't have lights and running water but you have PEACE. That's greater than anything else in the world. The PEACE of mind. If you are going through, just hold on can't wait to see the damage!!!
