vibes and stuff


I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
When you’re face to face with your adversity
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
We’re gonna make this thing work out eventually

A Tribe Called Quest (Stressed Out)

I'm blessed about a lot of things! But one thing I can say is I'm so happy and blessed that my nephew is leaving on Saturday to attend the University of Texas! I can't wait to see how he developes over the next four years!

I'm honestly truly happy, probably cuz Im not in school, and also don't have to work, so it's mostly less stress. & I spend a ot of time now with my family =)

something positive? Well, I'm a finalist for the 2008 Black Weblog Awards for my food blog - www.everydaycookin.blogspot.com. Have you voted for me yet?

Also, the folks from inchicity.com e-mailed me to see if I'd like to be a food blogger for them!

totally positive, right!

I love that song by "Tribe Called Quest." I really enjoy hip hop with a message by groups like that and wish we could have more today.

Something positive going on in my life is feeling loved and blessed. I am feeling more and more loved everyday and realizing that God has a purpose and plan for my life. It feels really good to trust in Him.

Let me see...

1. My tuition was paid for this semester via a wonderful giver (so, no loans for me).

2. Speaking of school, I didn't have to buy my books...that was taken care of as well.

3. My brother just accepted a head coaching position...Yeeeeeaaaaaaa! Now I can borrow some money from him.

4. I received a new laptop.

5. I'm growing into my own woman each minute, and she is FIERCE :)

6. I'm learning how to let go and let God...slowly, but I'm still learning.

7. Last but not least, God is showing me everyday that I am too vital to allow the iniquities of the world to affect me, and that His is always there...even when I'm doing wrong...everlasting love.

dessex said...

BEATS RHYMES AND LIFE....One of Tribe's Best Albums....My favorite song on that joint is "Keep It Moving" and "Word Play"

I got a phone call about an interview for a job today...I am very happy about that because I was becoming a little discourage.

This was a great post because it forces the reader to think about the good in life and thats something many of us forget to do because its the negative things that take up so much energy.

dessex said...

By The Way..."The Jam" is crazy too on that album. Sorry but ATCQ is like my favorite group ever.

Miss Mika said...

I am living, breathing, walking, talking, in good health, and I have wonderful positive people in my life that love me and support me.

You know, I needed to see this post today. Lately I have been reflecting on all the negative things that have been going on the past couple of weeks (you already know), and I haven't really acknowledged the positives.

Thank you for that observation.

CapCity said...

Hey 12Kyle

Grandma use to say life is what you make it. If it hands you a bunch of lemons, add a little sugar water and make LEMONADE!
Keep yo head up!

God has truly moved on my behalf this week. The doors were literally closing in my face..but each time someone told me no..you could literally see their hearts and minds changing in my favor to YES! Thank you LORD!
I firmly believe that your doors will be opened too 12Kyle, your family will remain strong and true, and God will put someone in position who some how, some way will use their power and abilities on your behalf. Now, set and position yourself to receive what I have spoken. In Jesus NAME!
We love ya'll!

The F_Uitlist said...

I'm watching my career blossom before my eyes. And I LOVE IT! I am the happiest I've ever been, stress or no stress. I feel great!

I'm also watching my baby boy develop the skills to tell me what he wants. And it is MIND Blowing!

I'm blessed to know that although my ex and I are not together, that dude looks out for me something tough. Glad to have him in my corner.
