I HAVE A VOICE

I'm So Proud Of You

In August 2011 my sister was diagnosed
with breast cancer. Two weeks later she was
also told she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. I
was with her on both occasions, trying my
best not to set off an alarm that would start a
chain reaction that neither of us was prepared
to handle.

She looked at me and asked in a very calm voice.
How can I be this sick? I feel fine she said, except
at night when I have a hard time breathing. I replied
to her, look the good thing is now we know what
we're up against and all we have to do is find
a doctor/ cancer center that can take care of this.
Just because you have cancer doesn't mean you're
dying. We are going to beat this.

All the while inside I felt like crying but crying was
not a luxury afforded me at that time. I needed to stay
strong for my sister. Little did I know she would
prove my words to be true. Just because you have
cancer doesn't mean you're dying.

Now the journey begins. To be continued.

CANCER WHAT IS IT?

BRISTOL PALIN MEMOIR/BOOK. IS THIS A JOKE?

2011-07-09T01:19:00.006-04:00

Yes I Wanted To, But Wait No I Didn't

Is Bristol Palin for real? Now, after statements
she has made about her new release can we
take her serious about anything?

First Levi stole her virginity. Then no wait it
wasn't rape. Question. Is it is or is it isn't? Was
this not something she wanted from the start.
but now that it's public let's just blame it on the
alcohol. As Joy said on The View "that's what
they all say."

Bristol also admitted that not only did she
break her moral code but she was drunk at the
time and under the age of 17.

It's obvious that Ms Bristol Palin is in some form of denial. She even stated in the video below that if she ran for mayor of Alaska she would win hands down. There would be no competiton.

As we all know Britol is the daughter of the former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

Today Ms Palin also came out with her own documentary titled "The Undefeated. Perhaps someone should inform Ms Palin that when you have a child that you are responsible for, living under your roof,

that is under the age of 17, drinking and having sex. The word undefeated might not be a word that you use to describe yourself.

This leads to the question. If Sarah Palin couldn't even govern her own home how can she possibly govern a country?

How do people feel about this in general? One commenter had this to say:

Commented 51 minutes ago in Politics

“So many things that anger me about this.
-that she is still being taken seriously by so called journalists like Walters
-that she is making money off of getting pregnant
-that she has total disregard for her son by blabbing all over the universe how she mistakenly became pregnant
-that she is dumber than a doornail and parents want their teen daughters to look up to her
-that is seems as if she is trying to make it sound like date r a pe”

IS KIRSTIE ALLEY TRYING TO MORPH INTO BRANDY NORWOOD

2011-07-01T18:28:00.006-04:00

IS IT KIRSTIE OR IS IT BRANDY?

There has been a lot of talk lately on twitter
and a lot of upset fans that feel Kirstie Alley
is trying to morph into Brandy Norwood.

Could this possibly be true? One might ask
why would Kirstie want to resemble Brandy?
I felt the same way when I first got whim of
this. I mean she already has a following and
has made a name for herself in the entertain-
ment industry.

Then after carefully looking back over the past
few months I must say it certainly seems possible.
It all started with Kirstie dancing on DWTS.

We all know that Brandy also danced on
DWTS season 11. It would be hard for anyone
not to know. It was was one of the most talked
about and debated seasons ever.

Brandy was partnered with one of the sexiest
dancers on the show Mr Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Owner of Dance With Me Studios in New York.

Who often refered to himself as sex on a stick. Given
the picture here I doubt that anyone would argue that.

It was rumored that he and Brandy had become an
item. No one could deny the special chemistry between
them each time they performed. Everyone seem to
feel there was something more there then just dance
partners. It was magical. It made people believe in
love again.

Could that have been the start of things? As we
know Kirstie also had Maksim as her dance
partner. Although there wasn't the same attraction or
should I say chemistry as when he danced with
Brandy. He still managed to make Kirstie look
good. Keeping in mind she is old (60) enough to be
his grandmother. So we shouldn't expect the same
kind of chemistry with a grandma, that you would
with someone that could someday be your mate.

That being said what has happen besides having the
same dance partner that has twitter fans all up in the
air?

Lets see there was the kiss.

BRANDY & MAKSIM

KIRSTIE & MAKSIM

Brandy tweeted she got a new tattoo

Kirstie tweeted she got a new tattoo

Brandy tweeted her knew look

Kirstie tweeted her new look

Brandy tweeted she lost her phone

Kirstie tweeted she lost her phone and she was glad because now she gets to have a white one like Maksim and Brandy

Kirstie white phone with her white nails

Is this Kirstie trying to morph into Brandy or are we just reading to much into this.

We all know that Kirstie has always favored the dark skin persuasion. She made it known to everyone on the Oprah show that she has always had a crush on Jamie Fox and then there's her most recent boyfriend.

Kirstie with her Boo

And lets not forget the wet one she planted on Romeo Miller

Could it be that Kirstie just admires Brandy? After all we all fell in love with her all over again when she performed on DWTS. Brandy gave so much of herself it was hard not to fall in love with her. It wasn't enough for her to just perform on the show. She wanted to give her best. And she did it with such dedication, such grace. A true lady. Fortunate for us we get to see her perform again on Drop Dead Diva

Drop Dead Diva Team

We know we want be disappointed because Ms Brandy knows how to bring it. Perhaps everybody will be wondering now if Ms Kirstie Alley will be joining the cast of Drop Dead Diva.

Subject of the week:
WHY DOES IT TAKE DEATH TO LOVE

This week claim the life of another one of our stars.
Mike Starr was found dead at his home at the young
age of 44. He had been in rehab a couple of times
trying to fight his addictions. He even appeared on the
show Celebrity Rehab back in 2009 and then Sober
House in 2010.

The rocker's father stated following the incident
“It's a terrible shock and tragedy”.

I don't know too much about Mike except that he was
a talented musician and gave part of himself to all
through his music. I wasn't a close friend or even a
friend of a friend. I do know this, that Mike Starr is
dead. He is gone. No would've, should've, could'ves for
him.

I stand in judgment of no one. What I'm about to say
may even offend some. Those going through a crisis
may not know how to ask for help so I'm going to ask
for them. If you are my friend, my family someone who
really cares. Kidnap me, drag me, beat me, tell me that
you love me to much to let me go without a fight, do
whatever you have to, just don't let me die. I may hate
you today, tomorrow or even a week from now but I
guarantee you in 5 to 10 years when we look back,
I'll thank you.

I want to share a tweet I read the other day that was
sent out by a Maksim Chmerkovskiy (pro dancers
with DWTS). His tweets said watching Life As a
House...crying. I thought how fitting that movie is to
Mike Starr's lost.

For those who haven't seen it yet I have made it
YouTube's pick of week for you to view here on this
page. It's about a man that learns he is dying and
instead of becoming bitter and cold he chooses to take
what time he has left to get to know his estranged son
again. In doing so he helps his son find himself and a
reason to live. In essence he gave his son the greatest
gift of all, Love. The ability to be loved and to give love
in return.

What this man chose to do made his death more
powerful then his life. It doesn't have to be that way you
know. We don't have to wait until death comes to show
love. Just think of all the camping trips, the fishing
trips, the walks and the talks they could have had, if
only he realized sooner the power of love.

I wrote a poem I'd like to share. I hope you like it.

TEARS NO MORE

What is this coming down my face
One left one right but it's not a race
Pain I feel make it go away
Sadness is here I hope it want stay
I tried so hard to spare you this
But your heart I somehow have missed
kindness I taught you is what you must show
Forgiveness of others will help you to grow
Love is the most powerful gift of them all
Putting God first you will never fall
Now you've come back to me with anger in your eyes
What has stolen this gift I once called my prize
I wont let it have you I can't you see
Cause I have something more powerful standing by me
Here it comes first the left then the right
Tears like raindrops as I stand with all my might
We scuffed and twisted all through the night
As I held on no matter the how hard the fight
I can't let this thing have you no way no way
I got on my knees and continue to pray
Finally a quiet calmness fills the air
As I pulled you near to speak in your ear
I hope you could hear what your heart didn't feel
Then you looked at me as though you begin to remember
All the things you'd been taught and all the things you alt not
You leaned towards me and wiped my face and began to say
Tears no more momma not today not today

Subject of the week:
WHY CAN'T WE JUST LET IT GO

I learned something new the other day. That HERJ
is an acronym for High-Explosive Ramjet. Ramjet
being a jet that propels an aircraft by igniting fuel
mixed with air taken and compressed by the engine
in a fashion that produces greater exhaust then intake
velocity. In other words once I get started there ain't
a no stopping. Like flames to the fire.

You may be asking. What does that have to do with
me? Well I thought the acronym was fitting because
HERJ could also stand for Hate, Envy, Resentment
& Jelousy. Some very explosive words in there on
right. If allowed to fester they can fuel anger,rage,
uncaring and unforgiving. It can lead to a feeling of
worthlessness and depression.

Once they become a part of you it's the hardest
thing to just let go. In other words there ain't a no
stopping. Why? That's right I asked it. WHY CAN'T
WE JUST LET IT GO?

Subject Of The Week:
Your Family, My Family, Our Family

I read an ad the other day that said "To win, you row
together. A crew knows it's not who can pull hardest,
it's pulling together as a team to create synergy."
Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more
agents working together to produce a result not
obtainable by any of the agents independently.
Synergism, the joint action of agents, as drugs, that
when taken together increase each others
effectiveness. No matter the word or definition you
choose it means a coming together, team work for the
success of all parties involved. No pushing, no pulling,
no control but working together.

This theory is one often used in the business world but
I feel it also holds true in the family arrangement. It
takes the effort of each member to make the family life
a true success. As one famous football player (Deion
Sanders) loves to say #H O P know your roll. Where
are my fathers at? It's not that a single mom can't
have a successful family, in fact it has been proven
quite the opposite, but I like the way  Tejado W.
Hanchell put it. " Husbands the family is your
responsibility. It's not that your wife can't- she
shouldn't have to.

What about the communication? If you did it all the
time then I wouldn't be suspect. What do I mean?
Take the wife for instance: If you said I love you all
the time, then I wouldn't be suspect when it came
from nowhere. Take the child:  If you showed me
that you care all the time, then I wouldn't be suspect
when you try to correct me.

I think it was best said by one young man the other
day  name J. Jones- "Man now days teenagers and
young men are either killing each other, in prison
or getting in trouble or have 5 different baby
mommas. Now I see why my mother was always
hard on me. Now I see why she always wanted to
know where I was going, who I was with, what
time I was coming home. Even when I was 18-
21 she was on a nigga. And still till dis day.
Thank u momma!"

Then there was the young lady name Jenna from
Intervention on AETV.com. When her family met
at the group intervention meeting to let her know
she needed to choose between drugs or them.
Jenna's only remark was "what took you so long"

I feel today we have forgotten that we are all one big
family, and the importance of helping one another.
With strong families come strong communities. Your
Family, My Family,Our Family.

SUBJECT OF THE WEEK:
What's in your Safe Deposit Box?

In life it's not often that a person get's it right but we
keep trying anyway. I met a woman the other day
that said she no longer knew who she was. She had
spent her whole life trying to please others, that one
day when she looked up and was all alone she
suddenly realized she had left someone out of life's
equation, herself.

I'm sure we all agree that life can be full of hills and
valleys we all must climb but in our journey one must
not forget the Safe Deposit Box. I feel that it is
imperative that one put away something just for
oneself. Some might say that is a selfish thought. I say
no, it is a brave thought because now you dare to
think about YOU.

Ah, the Safe Deposit Box. Isn't that something for the
far and few and of course the well to do. If you were to
turn back the covers you would be surprise to see how
many who are financially sound yet starving. Who woke
up one day and forgot what their fight was for. Who told
themselves I'll get to that someday or once I finish this
but their someday never comes.

What was that saying "you must stand for something
or you will fall for anything". "If it don't fit don't force it
just relax and let it go". Let it go, well that's fine as long
as what you're letting go is not you. Always remember
anything worth having is worth fighting for. So I ask you
where is your Safe Deposit Box? What's in it? What's
more valuable to you then you?

When you pull it out and blow away the dust, open it
and find that it's empty inside remember it can only be
that way if you let it be because after all it's your box,
your choice.

A DREAM
A dream was given to me, now what will I do?
Will I fight to the end to see it through?

Some may say it's a waste of time
But those someones are not a part of my mind

A dream was given to me, now what will I do?
I'm going to fight to the end to see it through
