About Me

Still I Rise ~~~ You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. ~~~ Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. ~~~ Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. ~~~ Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. ~~~ Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard. 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines, Diggin' in my own back yard. ~~~ You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. ~~~ Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise, That I dance like I've got diamonds, At the meeting of my thighs? ~~~ Out of the huts of history's shame, I rise, Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise, I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise, Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise, Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. ~~~ I rise. I rise. I rise. ~~~Maya Angelou ************************************************************ *There are some things in life you cannot explain and should not have to. Self confidence and self expression are qualities that I have always possessed and been extremely proud of. God has Blessed me with beautiful, wonderful, respectable children, who are my lifeline and my reasons for living. ************************************************************ *I have the privilege of being Blessed with a wonderful family "I love you mom!" and lifelong true friends (Candi, St. James, Russ, La-La and Montell (my Inspirational Brother) - "Thank you").****************************************************** *******I have a lot of love in my life and a lot to be thankful for and I am truly appreciative of those who have added positively to my life. I try, if possible, to keep the negative out of my life. To keep harmony and love in one's life, is to promote a healthy and happy human being, which in turn becomes contagious in nature. Therefore, "Pay it forward" and never stop believing in the power of truth and happiness. "No more drama, girls!"***************************************************** ********If I could sum it all up, it would have to be said like this.... "If you were a tag in my shirt, a stitch in my seam, or a lace in my shoe, then you would know just how much love I have for you when I am not with you." 082306/1012am ~~~ There are some things in life you cannot explain and should not have to....****************************************************** *******"Life is too short. Always smile about the little things and never regret anything. Everything happens for a reason. Love is a gift! Education IS a RIGHT! And our youth, are our FUTURE! Investment IS essential!!!!"
