Trust

What does trust mean to you? What makes a person worthy to be trusted? Trust in God and nothing else matters.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

Good day!

when is the last time you did something nice for someone else? what was it that you did?

Recently I was riding the train uptown and this older couple got on and the husband was holding the pole and the wife was just standing there so when the train took off she was falling so i caught her and brought her back to her feet!

what do u think about the state of black people in America today?

I feel that we need to reorganize, refocus, and discipline. We have forgotten how to live legendary lives by simply be excellent in all we chose to participate in, we allow our youth to think education is optional and Trends are mandatory! We promote good feelings instead of hard work. we live to get rich and get lost in all the endeavors, we take on others problems and mask our own... We glorify glitz and demean humble living. We need to bring back values, home training, education, moral, mentors and accountability! because guess what it is not solely about you!

What was the significance of your line name for Alpha Nu Omega?

The significance of being DS Irreplaceable to me is that I realized it is OK to be all of who I am and no matter what I am doing there is always someone waiting to take my place but I learned NO ONE can ever do me like I can and No One can have what or who is divinely mine

Just a Reminder He Loves me!

So It's Valentine's Day and me being the single Diva I am, I can't say I wanted to avoid the day or the couples and PDA...

I truly embrace the Day of love but...

My weekend was so great... I had an unique opportunity to see the
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Company (http://www.alvinailey.org);

It was awesome the seats were great (shouts to row 7) and my dates were awesome as well (Sherelle and Tiffany)
The Dancers were so powerful, they began with a Tribute to Otis Redding and ended the showing with a piece called "Love Stories" a unique blend of popular dances moves from theater to the dancehall
Not to mention the male dancers who illustrate exactly what the male form should look like and displayed it all so well while remaining tasteful and poised. I enjoyed every slow intentional moment!

Ok fast forward
V-day 2010

I began the day with the love of my life and expressing my gratitude for His continual love and mercy! I was reminded during the sermon that God loves me….Actively! Thank you God!

Got a few random text messages (ugh)

Continued with an awesome lunch with the ladies, which is always an adventure and the greatest conversation!

To the house I go Balloons and flowers for my mom, who always gets me a tangible expression of her love for V-day however this year she didn’t and it began my downward spiral into self afflicted internal wounds with thoughts like no one loves me, I should just go to sleep until Monday, etc . Not to mention someone is playing games with my heart and I just realized it and felt a lil stupid.

But then it hit me I am loved and loved well
I am beautiful and worthy of so much

God loves me so much that he does not allow just anything for me, so no day of any year should ever make me feel less than the Love God actively bestows upon me. He always provides the best (Alvin Ailey dancers row 7 yea) So I played Beautiful flower 3 times and I was reminded that GOD LOVES ME and I He!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

This is a song for every girl who's
Ever been through something she thought she couldn't make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind

There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient – India Arie (Beautiful Flower)

Roses of Black

Holds my interest and the key to my success
Takes my energy and begs for my best

Formed by the elite of the overworked and underpaid
and some who may get that job any day

we looked around saw a need
and minds started to flee

from the confines of our head and ran in the pen
and it was then the journey began

I and she and then them would become one
no not for play, leisure, or fun

but with hope that the city we would Run

We entered
we departed
we actively serve
and now together we create the luxury
we deserve


Hoping you too will see
that this we are
you really want to be

For we are Roses of Black
Rare,
sought after
prestigious
tasteful
timeless
Confident fulfillment of your upscale needs

We are indeed,

Man on my Mind: Cortland Finnegan

Where have you been hiding?

OK Ladies as I promised in the intro I will be sharing my thoughts on a few good men...
Our 1st featured man for the Month of February 2010 is:

Cortland Finnegan

(February Man on my Mind)

Born in Fayetteville, NC, 25 year old Finnegan stands a solid 5'9 weighing in at 188 is and He is such a cutie with a beautiful smile and playful personality (my observations on CMT Cribs)
He is definitely one for the eyes and interest!

Cortland was selected by the Tennessee Titans as the seventh pick of the seventh round (215th overall) his current position is Cornerback (Lady-note: A cornerback (aka corner) is a member of the defensive backfield or secondary. Cornerbacks cover receivers, to defend against pass offenses and make tackles.)#

Honorable: Cortland has his own Foundation "The Cortland Finnegan ARK 31 Foundation" is a non-profit organization which aims to assist children with special needs and disabilities in Tennessee.

Interesting Fact about Finnegan: His mom is Irish

Why Cortland is the man on my mind: I peeped him on TV and fell in love with his personality, his emphasis on his Irish background stood out, his energy is high, age range, He is giving back and His birthday is February 2 (Happy Birthday) so I felt it necessary to feature him as the

February Man on my Mind

!
