Hello!
There\’s no doubt about me when it comes to music. I LOVE MUSIC! My parents played it all day when we were growing up, and sometimes I feel * crazy* for always wanting to go to concerts. But you know what? Good music is who I am flat out. It makes me feel good, the lyrics, the music, the crowd, the performer.
I went to see Maxwell last night here in Detroit at the Fox, and let me tell you, when I say Maxwell put on a show………..that\’s just what I mean. I have been waiting for him * just like Anita Baker* for over 7 years. I always said that if he had a concert that I was so there. My only regret is that I didn\’t buy Orchestra Pitt Seats. I bought tickets the minute they went on sale and got 4th row from the Pitt, and they were just good!! He sung all my favorite songs except 2 😦 but its all good, because I really really enjoyed myself. People were so excited to see him, he couldn\’t stop saying how much he didn\’t know how much people really missed him. He even said I don\’t even have a CD out and yall show me this much love. Well that\’s what you get for having good music. Tasteful lyrics. I love and admire how he went and got married and just wanted to live his life. Now he\’s back. He sung 3 new songs from his CD that he will release hopefully soon. Let me say this if anyone has never seen Maxwell please check out this clip from his present tour. If he comes to a city near you, treat yourself, your friend, your husband/boyfriend to some grown folks music without the riff Raff. Go see MAXWELL!

I know there are a lot of single women out here who are trying to make ends meet, going to school, working, raising kids, and trying to make sure the house is running smoothly. Let me say this to you all. Your time will come for pay offs. Just hold on just a little bit longer. I wrote this because when Neisha was growing up, even though I\’m close with my family. I had them to watch her when I needed, if money was low I could go to my family. I was going through my own trials with her dad. But then I didn\’t realize that he wasn\’t ready to be a father, especially when he wasn\’t at my house with us. So he didn\’t see all that required to raise a child and to take of the home. All he knew was partying and women. I was mad at him then, but Ive grown to except that\’s who he is. The part I didn\’t get tho was that, when he got married, he didn\’t come over to see Neisha as much as he did when he wasn\’t married. Maybe his wife didn\’t want him around me, maybe he didn\’t trust himself around me. What ever the reason he wasn\’t around as much as he should have been. Me and his wife had a few words a time or two, but really she just didn\’t know what I knew.
When she had his second child. I couldn\’t believe more that she was happy. I was happy that Neisha had a sibling and I always wondered if they would be close. When her dad told me that he and his wife was moving to Atlanta about 4 years ago, I didn\’t know what her relationship with her dad would be like. Never knowing that he would get there, and soon come home to Detroit to stay. ……….. and without his wife and son. Its been about 7 months and he\’s still here. He has always been a private person, so who knows whats up with him. But its funny how Neisha and her dad are really close now that he lives here and his wife lives in Atlanta. But now I think about his Son being left behind…………..just as my daughter was. I made it through. I wonder how his wife is dealing with that. I wonder did she ever imagine her son without his dad. I wonder does she now know what Ive been through. I wonder if she ever want to talk to me. I wonder what does she tell her son. Whatever the deal. I hope someone read this and realize that in any situation, its THEM today, but it can be YOU tomorrow. Never get comfortable in anything. And always remember YOU CAN MAKE IT. God is alive. He can make a way even when OUR eyes see different. Sometimes we are so quick to think that its something we\’ve done. I realize in this situation, that Neisha\’s dad was never ready for children or a wife. And its okay………. it has to be. As for me and Neisha we are doing fine. Parents pray, pray pray for vision, direction, guidance, always be hopeful in everything. God has the last word. Please believe it. Don\’t just lay down and die. LIVE!!
Aight, I\’m gone for a mintue.
