Feeding into the stereotypes!

I am in the store. I see two little boys. One of the boys looked to be about seven years old and the other three years old. I wanted to beat both of their hindparts. They both had on baseball caps...turned backwards. But, that is not what ticked me off! I was so mad because both of these little boys were SAGGING their pants. First of all, how are you going to go out in public and let your three year old sagg his pants with a pull up on?

What kind of males are we raising? Are we raising them to fit every stereotype that they have for African American males? I wanted to pull that young mother to the side and school her. However, she was fitting every stereotype that they have for young black women. At that point, I was just confused. I didn't know whether to school her on her or her on her kids. What in the world!

Have you ever been just thinking? LOL!

LOL. I haven't posted from Blogspot in a minute. This site is just for GP. When I am in here, I just want to talk...no poems. I found a new place just for the poetic side of me...blog spot is the crazy me and to help promote my new book!

Okay, getting to my real point,have you ever found yourself, just thinking, but don't know about what? It is so funny. I am sitting here "just thinking" and when I finished, I could not remember what in the world I was thinking about (but I know I was thinking).

I have my God Daugther over. The kids are playing the Xbox and I can't remember what I was thinking! How about that? Is this a sign of old age? LOL.

Oh, come on yall, please don't act like you haven't ever been "just thinking".

BTW...I am promoting my poetry blog at http://hellopoetry.com/-nicole-rountree/...Look me up! also, my poetry website at authornikay.com!

Storms: Change is Good

You know, sometimes change is good. There are times when we are scared of change, but that is natural. If you have ever read the book, Who Moved My Cheese, you would really get a good idea about how important adjusting to change is in our lives.

I have decided to make a change. I am scared, but I know that things will be alright. I know that I will be alright! As a former science teacher, if change doesn't happen, life does not go on. In order for us to continue to live, evolution must take place. Darwin was one of the first scientist to realize this. It makes me laugh when I see the pictures of the short neck giraffes and the long neck giraffes. Why do you think we don't see the short neck giraffes today? Well, because they did not evolve to have necks long enough for them to reach the leaves on the tall trees. No leaves, no food. No food, no life.

Change, evolution....is good for continued growth and life.

Storms: So tired

Hello everyone. I am now up to Chapter 13 in my book, When It Rains, It Pours. I am so ready for the book to come to an end. LOL. I know that I can do that very easily, but I want it to make sense...right? Well, anyway, I may get through Chapter 13 and let the TV start watching me.

My Sisters

This post is dedicated just to my sisters. Although we are several years apart, as we have grown up the age differences have made no difference. I want to dedicate this post to my sisters: Nikkia Williams and Adrina Skyles. I love you both.

Storms: Angels-Seen and Unseen

Do you believe in angels? Well, I do. God sends angels not in the form of beautiful white visions with wings, but he sends human beings. I had a parent conference today with the aunt of the lady who cursed me the day before and she shared with me her testimony. She was a woman of God. I could tell in my spirit. She was an angel sent by God to give me confirmation. She told me to be encouraged. She told me that God will provide. She told me to listen to God and he will not steer me wrong.

I read a blog today by my soror, Daphine Glen Robinson, who also inspired me to "Be encouraged!" I will not stop what God has told me to do because of the lack of support, the haters, the people who are jealous or envious. Why? Read Psalms 37: 1-4

Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

You can say what you want, you can do what you want, you can support my efforts, you can down my efforts...but I put my faith in no man.

THIS JOY THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW...THE WORLD DIDN'T GIVE IT AND THE WORLD CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY. THANK YOU LORD FOR PEACE!

Storms: The Apple Doesn't Fall to Far from the Tree

You know it is very interesting working in the field of education and encountering a student that exhibits the 3 D's (Defiance, Disrespect, Disruption) only to find that the parents are the same way.

Well, you know what? The Apples truly don't fall to far from the trees.

That is all for tonight.
