Discernment is KEY... #believeDAT

"The supreme end of education is expert DISCERNMENT in all things... The power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, & to prefer the good & the genuine to the bad & the counterfeit." - Unknown

I can't say it enough: DISCERNMENT IS KEY...

Believe THAT...

Discernment is the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure... Being able to look beyond and really SEE things and people for what & who they really are... This quality is key for survival in this world... Without it, we're just wandering around blindly, accepting any and EVERYTHING into our lives...

I wouldn't DARE front like I'm the #1 authority on discernment... It's a subject that God continues to school me in DAILY... Ohhhhhhhh, when I look back over my life!!!!! Lawd, have mercy... LoL... I have accepted (AND participated in) a LOTTA foolery over the years... I have allowed people into my life who had NO business being in my personal realm... I've acted out & convinced myself that it was "ok" because that was my way of dealing with stuff... I've psyched myself out into believing that certain people were FOR me, knowing good & damned well that was NOT the case... I've lied... I've used people... I've been straight 51/50 ratchet... Yessir, bruuuuuuuuutha... I completely overlooked the spirit of discernment...

I tell ya'll all the time, when you know better, you DO better... That's when that good old discernmet kicks in... We're all grown here... We know when we don't have any business doing some stuff, saying some stuff, or hanging with certain people... DISCERNMENT IS KEY IN YOUR UPGRADE EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE!!!! How can you ever expect to elevate to a higher level in life when you're still doing stupid sh*t? Excuse my language... I'm just sayin'... LoL

Think before you act... Consider before you speak... Everyone is NOT meant to be your friend, but God will always be your Father...

'Til next time... XoXoXo

Come one, come all!!! Let me upgraaaaaade you!!!

The fact that you are even reading this speaks VOLUMES to me...  See, I have alot to say... I always have, even when I didn't really know what I SHOULD be saying... Many times, we talk about STUFF, but that stuff has no substance...  I think that I just may have found some substance, ya'll... I am NOT perfect.  I've never thought that I was & I've come to accept that I never will be... I'm perfectly imperfect ... However, I have spent MANY years of my young adult life striving to present the image of perfection...  I mean, c'mon ya'll... It is just an image at the end of the day... This "quest" for perfection has taken me down some winding, sometimes drastically dark roads. But, without that quest I wouldn't have the testimony that I have today. My voice could very well be your voice... Maybe it's your sister's voice... A cousin... An old college roomate or the chick next door.  I've gone though so many monemts of my like

Oh, I've Got Time Today, Honty... Yaaaaaaaas...

"A winner rebukes and forgives; a loser is too timid to rebuke and too petty to forgive."  -Sydney J. Harris I'ma just jump right in & start with the fact that if your success comes at the demise of others, you really ain't winning. That is not what God loves, and you know it... I wish no ill-will on none of these local jokers, but that savage-life bullshit gone get alot of these folks caught up in some awful situations... That saddens me because so many of life's trials and tribulations can be avoided by just making better choices & simply doing what's right... Baby, THAT'S what God loves...  I had a moment this past week... Ya'll know, I really try to refrain from being involved in stereotypical Facebook shit... The norm: beefing with chicks, beefing with family, beefing with bm/bd, calling folks out & putting them on blast... ALLLLLLLL THAT malarky... I try to use the 'Book as a positive outlet & source of encouragement fr

The "Queen of Detachment" is Relinquishing Her Throne

Yep, I said it... I'm finally stepping down... The "Queen of Detachment" is no more... *sighs* detachment [dɪˈtætʃmənt] n 1. indifference to other people or to one's surroundings; aloofness 2. (Psychology) freedom from self-interest or bias; disinterest 3. the act of disengaging or separating something 4. the condition of being disengaged or separated; disconnection I've always prided myself on my ability to detach myself from ANY situation...  I tried to look at it as a gift & a curse, but all along it was only just a curse...  It was my defense mechanism, my way of protecting myself from getting hurt.  All along I was hurting myself more and even worse, hurting people who cared about me. I guess you can peg it as the "love 'em & leave 'em" syndrome...  I'd let people get close, whether for a brief moment or a designated season, and just like THAT I'd detach myself completely... I mean, no phone
