Read my eyes………!

Growing up in my neighborhood, we didnt have \”haters\”. ( I dont think)

Im 39 years old and I hate to see or hear people use that word, but you know what? Do you know what? I mean do you really wanna know what? THERE ARE SOME HATERS OUT THERE!

Let me just tell you about me. Im a person who is always smiling, I\’m the same person everyday. You wont have to look at my face to see what kind of mood Im in. Im not coming out of a  bag on you. I cant help if Im a happy person all the time. Im sorry. If you want to walk around with your face all bald up and disfigured……then go head. do what you do, but dont get in my atmosphere like im suppose to convert to your ways. It aint go happen! BOO

God has been to good to me, for me to walk around looking ugly in the face. Thats not who I am. I once heard a coworker say, how can such and such be that happy? I said Jesus. Thats how! If you dont understand it, say that. But dont ask that question in a way where you just think its impossible to smile everyday.

Me and my coworker KiKi  and Leanna talk about God all the time at work, we will go in the bathroom and pray for each other, we will talk on our lunch breaks , we always talk to people and encourage them, but walking around making faces because you are unhappy……………………………..um um!

People at work, they dont like to see us smiling and talking about God. That always have something to say. Its just  unreal to me how people are not happy and dont want to see you happy. I just dont get that. Whats in the inside of me is spilling out on the outside. And its going to get better.

So I say this to say. People are watching you. Just by smiling you can make someone\’s day.

Body Language, Eye contact, and Colonge!

Hey,

Don\’t they look sexy? Ahhhh, See thats what I\’mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm talking about! Check out the body language. Sometimes when men come through my line, smelling good, tall and have eyes that say words that the lips can\’t say. That melts me. Im into body language, and eye contact. OOO and don\’t let the scent of their colonge hit my nose, ahhhhh its on! The smell of colonge puts me in a trance. But if they have on a wedding ring, it ends there!

So, ladies what is your favorite colonge on a man? How does it make you feel?

“Helping God”

Good Sunday Evening!

Got up this morning and went to 9:30 service, my Pastor Vann taught from the book of Genesis. Abraham and Sarah! How God promised them a son, but as Sarah started becoming old, she felt as though she wouldn’t have a child. So she took it upon herself to “help God†and decided that she was going to give her husband permission to have relations with Hagar, her maid, so that God’s promise would come to past.

Well, after Hagar conceived, she started to look down on Sarah. God came to Sarah again and said:

 Genesis 21

 1 Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac [a] to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

 6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”

 With that said…….we’ve got to stop trying to help God with the process of what he already promised us. There’s a situation going on in my life, where I called myself hoping it would happen but end up“helping God†and end up messing things up for myself, and here I sit… sick about it. But you know what? Not anymore! I have made amends and I am letting it go, just as it was told to me by this person. So, I say all of this to say, if God has already promised you something, quit trying to help him, help you get it done faster. God don’t need help, he is God, and God alone.

Yeah, I learned a lesson over the week, but you know what? If I could stop you from making the same mistakes………..PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE. Let God do his work and you do yours!

Thanksgiving………..a time to be greateful and to give Thanks!

Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sep. 22)

It’s time to fully obey the law of spiritual detachment. In other words, learn to let go! The more you cling to a desired outcome, the more you block your highest good from manifesting naturally in your life.
 

Hello Yahoo Family!
 
I read my horoscope for Thanksgiving and that is what it said. Its funny too because someone told me the same thing this just a few days ago. That is just too deep. To my friend if you’re reading, your right! All I can say is WOW.
 
Today is Thanksgiving and I personally have so much to be thankful for. First, my parents for loving me and caring for me that way that you did, just to hear your voice or see you in person weekly makes my day. You just don’t know how grateful your children are to have you both. My 2 sisters and my brother.
 
 Growing up we weren’t allowed to fight, so we used our mouths to argue, ain’t it funny now, how we communicate so well not only with each other, but in the world. We are surely sisters and brothers who can get the things we need and desire because of your strong ability to communicate. Thank you Jesus. We may not have experience in fighting, but we shoo know how to negotiate!!!!! LOL
 
Thank you Lord for my daughter Neisha! My one and only child. Lord thank you so much for introducing me to her 20 years ago. She is my heart, my ace of spade, my #1 gurl! I love her so, so so much, Lord, and you know I always tell you this, if you were to take her from me tomorrow, I would cry, and probably be sad for a good while. But for all the joy that came with her, I would understand your ways of doing things. You loaned her to me and her dad, and I understand that. So I wanted you to know that I Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me “real love”.
 
Thank you Lord for my nieces and nephews. I see them so much, I think they think that I am their second momma! LOL Lord, thank you for blessing me beyond what I deserve!
 
And to my Yahoo 360 family. Lord what have I been missing all these years? They have been there for me more than I could imagine. They checked up on me when GL died, just like a face to face family member would do. And I’ll neverrrrr ever forget that.
 
So I say Thank you Lord for blessing me with this life, and if its your will ( looking up at you ) I will see you whenever the street light come on for me, and my life on earth is over! I’ll see you face to face.
 

3 John 1 (New International Version)

 13 I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. 14I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.
      Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name

 
I love you all

My last goodbyes to my friend ……..Gerald Levert!

 

 

 

 Gerald said that I was his #1 Gurl!

 

Hello Family!

 

Thanks to everyone who sent me love and hugs through email……..Lacrease sure did need them. Thanks sooooooo much!

 

This morning in Church I was thinking back on how good God is, how he will make a way out of no way. How he does things in his time…..not ours. As I was thinking back on his goodness. I thought about how he answered a prayer for me, and how when things turned out the way they did, I couldnt understand it for the life of me…….why. Now I understand so clearly.

 

I was working when this lady came through my line buying a Gerald Levert CD. And the first thing out of my mouth was \”youre buying my husbands CD\”? We both laughed,  she told me how much she loved her some Gerald Levert. We stood there talking for a long long long time. We started talking about the concert that was coming up. I told her that I couldnt find anyone to go with me, so I went out and bought me a ticket to go solo, AND GOD BLESSED ME  TO SIT IN THE FRONT ROW. She said omg I bought tickets too, my sisters are going with me. We exchanged phone numbers and decided to all go together.

 

I met her at the concert, met her sisters and everything. We started getting cool, talking about Gerald all the time on the phone, then she would come shopping at Walmart and come through my line. We would talk about his  play Casino that was coming up. Then one day I was sitting in my car getting ready to go in to work, when a commerical came on to win tickets to a private party dinner party for him. He was giving out autographs, photos everything with him in a SECRET LOCATION. The only way to go to this private party was to win tickets!!!! I sat in my car thinking that I had to be at this party, but it was THE VERY NEXT DAY, and I was headed in to work.

 

Later that evening, Pat came in and she said gurlllllllllllllllllll did you hear the private party that Gerald is having? I was like yessssssssss, she said Crease Im going home and Im calling the radio station and we are going to see Gerald. I told her to go head and get started and when I get home we can do it together. That night I got home, it was late, we hooked up, we both called the radio station trying to be the 8th caller. Can you imagine a 38 year old and a 40 something women calling the radio station trying to win tickets? We couldnt get through, it was in the last hour. I was ready to give up! Pat called me about later 12 ish screaming in the phone, hollerring LACREASE WERE GOING TO SEE GERALD LEVERT, WERE GOING TO SEE GERALD LEVERT! Im like Pat quit lying, are you serious? She was like yesssssssssssssss Lacrease we are going, she said gurl I cant breathe, gurl hold on a min, it was sooooooooooooo funny. So once I finally believe her, it came on the radio and I knew she was telling the truth. She  kept screaming LACREASE WE ARE GOING TO SEE GERALD LEVERTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

 

Then I started thinking. I said Pat what are your sisters going to say about me going with you and you only have 2 tickets? She said Lacrease they love Gerald but not like we do. I started getting worried that when she call them and tell them, they would want to go. She said Lacrease, dont worry you are going, they only go to concerts with me so that I wont be alone. I kept saying Pat you sure, cause gurl Im geeked. She called her sisters on the 3way and they were like Lacrease yall go and have a good time, we dont want to go, we are just glad that she found someone who love Gerald that way she does. I was happy. I COULDNT STOP THANKING HER!

 

We made plans for the next day, and we were on our way! The location was the most elegant hotel in our city. It was very private about 75-100 guest. Your name had to be on the list, and we were in the HOUSE!

 

That night was truly one of the best nights of my life. After the private party, me Gerald, Pat and his SO COOL ONE AND ONLY…………….. bodyguard BIG Joe( in the white shirt) went into the bar in the lobby and had a drink. I dont drink but woooooooooooo they ordered me some 1800 and I was not good! OKKKKKKKK lollll Gerald was like you okay???? lol I said boo I dont drink. We took more photos, talked, and they went to their rooms, and we left. I had a great time.

 

So I say all of that to say. It was meant me for to meet and hang out with him last year. I still thank God because it was for me to meet Pat and be her guest to the private party. That has helped me a lot, knowing I will never see him again. And see I always loved Gerald since I was 19, but I never seen us together like that. You know how fans want to be the wife? I looked at him as a person who was cool, and good to hang out with, and we did just that. Pat could have chosen one of her sisters, but she chose me and I thankful.

 

Ok enough about my boo. So this lady that you see in this photo is my gurl Pat!

 

God Bless

Lacrease

 

 

Check out the way he is looking at me! Ahhhhhhh, that smile!

Enjoy!

Gerald Levert 1966-2006

My boo Gerald Levert passed away.

I\’m so sad.

I still can\’t believe it.

This is one time I want \”death\” to be a rumor. When I was growing up my momma use to always play Barry White and Luther Vandross. I just didn\’t get it. All those  love songs. In 1986 I heard Gerald Levert for the first time. I was in love and going through with my daughter\’s father. That\’s when I needed me some \”therapy\” music. Here it is 2006 and I swear I\’m his biggest fan.

Today when I heard about his death, I was in the break room on my hour lunch when my gurl KiKi page over head and told me to dial ext 150. I called and she said Lacrease are you sitting down? I said WHAT KI-KI, because I can hear in her voice that whateva it was, it was going to be \”spooky\”. So she said again Lacrease are you sitting down? I said what Kiki tell me, she said Gerald Levert had a heart attack and died! I\’m like nooooooo, omgoodness, its a rumor. I wanted to believe so bad that it was, I wanted to wake myself up, even if it meant starting my work day over. I just can\’t believe it. Not Gerald Levert my boo! For some reason I had a feeling that it was true.

I didn\’t want to cry at work. I\’m just a private person, and I wanted to punch out and be by myself. I couldn\’t think. Then to top it off, my co workers was coming up to me asking me was I okay. They were hugging me………and that\’s what took me over. I had one of those cries where you can\’t stop, my eyes were so red. I love my coworkers, because even though I met Gerald several times but didnt know him as a personal friend, they knew how I felt about him and his music, and they really comfort me. They know I can be a tough cookie and keep things inside sometimes. But not today.

When I got home at 7:00 I had 14 people who called. My daughter had their names written out for me. I\’m sitting at my computer watching videos. I HAVE EVERY CD HE HAS EVER MADE! For some reason I can\’t pull them out yet. I was suppose to go with my coworkers tonight for dinner , but I don\’t feel up to it. Just feel like being alone. My boo Gerald Levert is gone home.

To make a long story short……….

My teens experience racism at the hotel.

They all got up for breakfast the next morning,  went down to the lobby, and when they showed up 14 deep, they were told to \”sit down and to line up for breakfast in 3\’s\”. But just as they were going to do as they were told, a big family of Chaldean\’s came down. The person in charge let them all line up together for breakfast, while my kids sit there and wait for them to finish.

I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo outraged, That it was only God that kept me from going down and SETTING THE WHOLE BREAKFAST AREA OFF! When they came back to the rooms, some was upset, some couldnt believe it, and some wanted to RAISE THE ROOF. But me being their Leader I AM, they knew that I wouldnt like how they handled the sitaution, so they just sat there until their turn.

Later on that morning just before checkout. A few of my gurls went down and knocked on the housekeepers door and ask for some extra towels. The lady told them that she didnt have anymore… with an attitude. 

 That was the last straw. I couldnt put on my shoes fast enough!!!!!! I went down and bammed on the door, the lady came out and I SAID:  MAY I HAVE SOME BATH TOWELS, then she started  mumbling when she realized that the kids she said no to was with me. She went and got me some towels too, then I SAID TO HER: DIDNT MY KIDS JUST COME DOWN HERE AND ASK YOU FOR THESE SAME TOWELS? She gon say, I just got them in, I just got them in! I said ok………………….. she was sooooo scared. I tell people all the time you dont have to use colorful words, all the time, all you have to do is throw that strong eye contact on them, with a tone of voice thats low and HARD! That will pull it off. Body langauge , eye contact, and DIRECT WORDS will do it every time! ( wink)

Then later on when it was check out time, the receptionist guy, said to me………. your kids went through the housekeeping area this morning to breakfast! I WANTED TO SAY: ok anddddddddd do you think they meant to go TO THE WRONG DAYUM DOOR TO EAT???????? DAYUM DUMMY! But I said looking at him straight in the eye ( sarcasticly)…………. Sir, do you honestly think that if they knew the right door to go through, they would have went in through housekeeping? He said  well no. I said ok………………….COME ON YALL LETS GO!

You know whats funny about this whole thing? My kids kept watching me. lollllllll They couldnt stop looking at my facial expressions. They were watching to see if I would clown. I didnt and Im so glad, cause kids pay attention.
