How Bad Do YOU Want to Be Successful?

Let's Be Kind, yall!

Three weeks ago American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino attempted suicide following a complaint filed by her then boyfriend's wife. The complaint alleged that Barrino was (for lack of a better word lol) a homewrecker. Earlier this week she went on Good Morning America to set the record straight.

I have to admit I was skeptical before watching the interview. I felt like this was one big publicity stunt to promote her new album. But after watching her speak, there was something I connected with. I've always felt like suicide is THE most selfish thing a person can do. However maybe, in some small way, we are all responsible for Fantasia's tail spin. The media makes fun of people's misfortunes when they're alive, always assuming they'll be here tomorrow. Had she really killed herself, who would've been responsible? ....just some food for thought.

I'm not a real hip hop head, but there's something about this song. Besides, the swag on this track is off the charts. *salutes*

I'm Chillin.

I have nothing to say. I could call it writer's block, but I don't think that's what it is.

I tend to write when I'm really happy, really sad or trying to figure something out. Right now, I'm just...chillin. Lol. I have one more week before school starts and I'm taking full advantage of my free time. Life is for living, right?

Please forgive me. I see the high site traffic and I appreciate it more than you know. I'm going to keep posting random tidbits as they come along and hope that my life offers me some kind of inspiration.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, my readers, my loves.

I call this photo "BOREDOM." Genius, I know. Lol.

Some women were born to be warriors,

I pray I am one of them."

This Week's Random Quote...

"Since the last time I saw you
God has moved another mountain out of my way
Led me to green pasture turned my midnight into day
Placed my feet up on a rock to stay

Since the last time I saw you
God has calmed another raging storm in my life
Led me into safety turned my darkness into light
Now I stand in the power of his might"

"Since the Last Time I Saw You" -- Yolanda Adams
