Love Zone

Today I got some heat about my blog and as usual it prompted me to ask why I bother writing them.  I think it is because each topic elicits feelings and it also inspires me to go inside and dare to be different.  I cannot allow anything or anyone's interpretation to stop me from expressing what I deem and yet understand we are all quite different.  Life and people are funny that way are we not?

Yesterday I realized that the person I had been with is such a good person and that he like all of us is simply injured.  I can see the injury and I can see the need for my healing and his.  I love him even though there are times when I see he has not loved himself and neither have I.  I know that if he asked me I would open my heart up once again for him.  I would love him back to health if he fell and needed me to do that.  We, I can talk all I want but the truth is that I can love him no matter what happens.  I can still love Elliott too and I can do that in equal increments.

I love the people who read my blog and I love the people who don't read it.  Mostly I love the people who don't because they are the ones who I need to send it most to so that I grow as a human being and not personalize the fact that some people will not like what I have to say.  I have to be honest and say that I too don't like what I have to say at times.  It is good food for thought to curtail anything that is vicious because I guess it could come back to me and so I am thankful for that speech, that lesson and that knowing.

I am like Humpty Dumpty that had a great fall but somehow I was able to put myself back together again.  I pray that my loves do the same and even the ones that are not.  My heart wants to dance with shame but I am for today going to dance to love.

Racism is Alive and Well because...

Whoopie Goldberg stars in this movie opposite Sissy Spacek.  It is about a liberal white woman who has a police officer aplogize to her maid when he saw her in the park with her white children and called her a "nigger" and asked her to get out of the park immediately.  The person played by Sissy Spacek is later blasted by her husband for making the officer apologize to a "nigger".  Sissy defends her position and sticks to the fact that it was wrong and that this was a person who took care of her children. Still today there is this lack of respect for people of color that prompts me to say "the gays came out of the closet and the racist got in".  I sincerely believe that racism is still alive and thriving in the souls of many people who still believe people of color are less than them and have a horrible disrespect and opinion of us.  Yet we deny it.  Not only whites but also people of color deny that racism is still an isssue.  It may not be as overt...

Change Your Body. Image

First things first.  The average woman in the US is a size 14 and might I add that some of those women are absolutely gorgeous.  It is really not about your size but rather about how you feel about your body.  Admittely it is hard to love your body when we are being bombarded with images of women that are so very far from the reality.  In fact it has become an unhealthy and rather scary depiction of a woman, some almost look like a doll and some have actually had surgery to look like Barbie.  There is even a real life Ken running around who was recently focused on in a documentary about plastic surgery.  Almost ever part of his body was manufactured and surgically created.  Never mind photo shop and all the cuts and pastes are done to present a woman in the best light possible and so that she looks incredible.  Never mind that a lot of models are barely 21 made to look like they are 30.  Although makeup is a wonderful thing for some, a lot of...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...
