Common and John Legend provided Sunday's Oscars with its most powerful moment: a performance of "Glory" that brought the entire Dolby Theatre to its feet.To celebrate "Selma" and their Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, the duo took the stage in front of a group of singers and projected imagery of the Selma-to-Montgomery march depicted in "Selma." Following the performance, the crowd gave Common and Legend a standing ovation. "Selma" star David Oyelowo was shown crying, as was Chris Pine. This was a beautiful moment for the world to take in. A song that spoke volumes.

This is so very true. When God has selected you. No one can stop you regardless of the rejection. God's will for you will always come to pass!

Nobody Owes..........

Nobody owes you nothing. Life is what you make it. If you are waiting for someone to hand you anything, well you will be waiting forever. Just a thought I hope you keep with you. Remember you are all you have and can really depend on. It's up to you to make it count.

People Who Compete

I was once told that people who try to compete with you, want to leave you with nothing so that they can have everything. People like that you just need to leave them be and let them stay where they are.

Chillin' In Heels

One of those days where I feel like putting on some heels to chill. Yep Sometimes I really wish I felt as good as this picture looks! Pictures reflect our imagination. Through them we can become anything/ anyone we want to be. Don't you wish just for a little bit that you can be as perfect at these pictures? How do we get to that place of perfection as human beings?
