Harlots

So, I like to watch period pieces, it's like the other side of harlequin historical romance books. I happened upon the series Harlots on HULU, It gave me a view of the darker side in visual. Being a women in what they called the "age of romance" was a myth. Besides having questionable hygene issues, women were often just pawns and objects to be moved and traded about. Any woman who didn't have a husband or a "man" to control her money was just a object. It had to be hard being an actual true blue woman, especially back then, not to mention if you were on the other side of man/woman, add black to it and the plot thickens, those in the UK had to be wary of slave stealers, who would kidnap africans and send them to the america where they got paid -0 to do EVERYTHING. It was so revealing to see under those hot wigs and horrid white makeup, that the good, the bad and the ugly was alive and kicking. Those hot dresses with the smushy bust line, so uncomfortable. Clearly if women really watched and saw those awful corsets, they wouldn't try to squish themselves now in those most painful looking garments. I grew up reading the historical love sagas, this show, showed none of that, It showed women and men using what they had to get what they needed to survive, I did however enjoy seeing the new talent and host of actors, it was grown up spicy and I dug it.

The Aftermath of a Incident of Pain

Okay, he shot the boy, we know it, but I never felt he would be convicted, for many reasons. I pray the family finds peace. I pray the shooter finds the courage to tell the truth at some point in his existence. While people are saying ohhh he was a terrible child I heard he smoked weed, he cussed, he blah blah blah. The bible tells us not to judge. None of these so called supporters of the shooter are perfect or have perfect kids, don't believe me check out your kids, twitter, facebook, instagram etc..., they are kids they vent, this is their virtual diary. Wrong however is wrong, but the jury of his peers found him not guilty...so there you have it. I know God sits up high and looks down low and hears and sees all, including the dirty deeds. So we as beautiful black people have further validation, that color still matters...duh. We need to focus on loving each other more. We need to stop the violence in our own neighborhoods, we need to watch and protect each other. I&

Surprises

The thing about surprises is that you still need to be prepared to handle the suprise. I received a unexpected surprise that I longed for, so I at this moment should be blissfully stupid from love and being loved. Nope, instead, I am doing the same thing I do every weekend...karate,kids,dinner, t.v. So I had wanted to know what was up and waited patiently, my answer has been given to me.........SUPRISE!

IT WAS A GOOD WEEKEND

This was a good weekend, summer fun fest, bbq cook out and games for all, the only thing missing was ...you know, but as long as I avoid sad songs and sappy movies, I should be okay, my legs hurt, my accupressure gal says it's cause I'm worried about a man, could be, yea it is. It's been a while. Meanwhile back at the ranch I'm resisting temptation to call an ex, or get involved with the next. I'm giving me some me time, trying create a new career for me, that pays well, I'm good at what I do and somewhere somebody will pay me well for it, then I can get some new digs to live in and watch my babies grow well. So I've outlined my goals and other than a good dye job to my hair and keep exercising to avoid the broken heart= fatty food syndrome, I plan to meditate with God, and do what I always do..keep movin.
