Refusing to Change is Refusing to Grow

About Me

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him,or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that "-Rocky BalboaWell what can I say, I am a strong, dedicated, outgoing, considerate, God-fearing, creative, intelligent, loving young black woman! Did I mention..Beautiful? I love people and I love Jesus! I love to smile and help anyone if it's within my morals and means. And if you don't remember anything on this page, Remember that God loves you and I do too! Peace and much blessings be healthy! love layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments

R.I.P Thank you for your support and love, always being considerate in every way!Father's who aren't taking the role of fatherhood: It is not God's plan to make woman provide for family, but through you, we have adapted to the environment you've given as death and birthed life...men may have strength but women have POWER...we can survive...To those nameless to history I reveal your rememberance: countless of people who gave their lives for freedom in every way from sit-ins, to marches, to war, to spoken to silent word, all forms of protest I thank and honor you!Teachers, those who alter their comfortable, personal ways of teaching to teach in a way we can understand showing not telling through telescope lenses so we students can look down the rabbit hole and ignite thought.Writers, it takes a lot of discipline and courage to do what we do, to be judged, critqued and to crucify all of our souls onto the tip of a pen nailed on yellow stained sheets that can transform another life life's forever...To those in the world who are good and great and even the opposite because we need balance, positive and negative forces to create and rebuild and to bring forth change...everyone are heroes whether we recognize it our not...
