A Flower (Written by guest writer Willie C.)

A flower is often seen for the outward beauty it possesses or the danger that lurks as a result of its beauty. However, a flower is much more than the beauty it possesses or danger unknown to the naked eye. A flower reminds me of a woman’s inner being. A flower speaks of the dreams in her heart, and tells a magnificent story of her triumphs in spite of her aches, pains, midnight rains, along with the dry periods in her life. But like a flower, a woman is resilient, fearfully and wonderfully made.  A flower’s inner beauty far outweighs the outer appearance for what a flower possesses on the inside makes the outside that much more appealing.
Some might say that a flower is the way it is because of the sunshine, and rain, but I say that a flower is the way it is because a flower reflects its true beauty whether the sun shines or the rain comes. I wonder who would have ever thought to look at the inside of a flower before deciding on the type flower desired. Like most things flowers will wither after a while, but one thing is for certain. What the flower has on the inside will never wither or go away. So I say smile flower, live and love life, and know that you a most beautiful when you share what’s inside of rather than just what you visibly viewed as.

Random Thoughts (No particular order)



1.       I hope President Obama gets re-elected. If Mitt Romney wins, God helps us all.
2.       I hope everyone gets out and vote. Every vote is needed.
3.       How can women really support Romney after knowing his views on women’s rights among other things like he is an idiot that flip flops on everything?
4.       I am more of a loner than I initially thought. I like it though.
5.       I am going to be a grandma. No excited yet. I guess it will come later.
6.       Young adults kids will make you want to cuss.
7.       I need to interact with people more. Pick up the phone and call sometimes instead of text.
8.       Some of my Facebook friends need to just sit down somewhere.
9.       I really need to start going to Church more often. I miss it.
10.   I really need to start writing more. Writing clears my mind. Relaxes me.
11.   Is it time to consider a career move?
12.   I don’t have a best friend that I tell everything. I wonder if that makes me different.
13.   What in the world we were doing before FB and blogging?
14.   Even though I only have a small circle of close friends, they are awesome.
15.   Sometimes I wonder if I am too honest and upfront.
16.   Some people are so full of stuff.
17.   Every day is not a good day but I am thankful my good days outweigh my bad days.
18.   It’s time to start loving what I see in the mirror. This has gone on way too long.
19.   I need to get back on my workout routine. Not just physically but mentally. The physical part is actually the easiest part.
20.   When I leave this earth, I wonder if I will truly be missed.
21.   Some many people are suffering with serious illnesses. It makes me feel bad to complain about the little things I do.
22.   My family is amazing. They really are.
23.   Trouble don’t last always. Thank you Jesus!
24.   I wish I could go back in time and correct/change some things.
25.   Over all, life is good and I am thankful and blessed.
My True Essence

Who Is She?

Who Is She?
She’s the one down on bended knee
The one you look at but really don't see
You see her speak but none of her words do you hear
It's like she's so far away even though she’s near
She doesn’t know how to let go and be free
Nor does she know how to live and not just be

Who is She?
She’s the one who always smiles
Thru her many tests and trials
It’s a smile that hides her pain
Her tears and her shame
The guilt of her past
It’s a smile that never last

Who is She?
The mirror will always tell the real story
It doesn’t hide her confusion and worry
You see the truth in her eyes
Her shining light that sometimes dies
Her self-esteem that tends to nose dive
Her soul the reaches out and cries

Who is She?
She is … me
