Dear, Lord

Dear Lord,

First of all Thank You for a wonderful day. The holiday rush to buy the best gifts for Christmas can really take a toll on me as a cashier. But for that point, Im going to say all cashiers. lol  I do my best to be courtest, and to smile with my customers, but sometimes I fall short. I don’t know why Im so hard on myself in this area. Sometimes I feel that you give me enough strength to smile and laugh with them at all times. Im learning that its okay if I have down times, Im very friendly and do my best to create a great shopping experience for the customer. Lord, sometimes they invade your space and downtime. I just don’t know how to react to people who disrespect my space. If they see me eating in the snack bar, or see me walking and talking on my cell phone, why is it so important that they get their question out to ME anyway? This bothers me to no end. I wish that I knew how to talk to them without letting them know in so many words that Im off the clock, and not to BOTHER ME AT ALL. My facial expressions can/will cure cancer it’s just like that!!! Well, you know. lol I want to be nice and pleasant all the time. I really battle with this at work, people seem to know what button to push. My coworkers are the best, we motive and pray for another. I love that about them.

Tyler Perry play is coming to Detroit @ The Fox in May and I really want to have the best seats in the house. I want to meet Tyler when he comes, thats another thing on my mind. God I know things work according to your will. But you know how bad I want to meet him. You know, and he knows * im sure*. Please let it be this time coming up. He is so funny and so sweet. We are going to have a ball I know. Will I become nervous…….. probably but its all good. I plan to go to at least 2 shows. My gurl Angel and I are going together. Then again with my sisters, daughter, mom and friends. I may do a solo. I love solo’s. Im excited that he’s thought about touring, I really didnt think that he would be out on the road again. He is going to make  a killing at the box office. Im so happy for him. Tyler if youre reading this message, lets meet in May!

Im excited about C&VS Corporation!!! My good friend Val and her husband Cary are in the early stages of opening a Temporary Homeless Shelter for women with 2 children, she has to be between the ages of  22-? oops gotta find out the age limit again. Im so excited for them. Today she came buy to pick up all my bottles for the bottle drive. Also I gave her a donation, but there is more to come!!! She went to school all those years on her way to a Masters Degree and never knew this is where she was going. Look at God. I can wait to help her, this is right up my alley. All day I see people who have money, and who think they are so bigger than the next person, but here are these people who are homeless and need special attention. Ill share more later.

Good Night

The day before Thanksgiving

Hey, 

 Sorry I havent been writing that much lately. I had a little bit on my mind. The day before Thanksgiving me and my Sister kinda fell out. I love my Sister dearly, and I hate the fact that I got really, really, really upset with her. To the fact where, when it was time for ALL of my family members to come over to my house on Thanksgiving, I left and went to the movies to see 2 shows. I didnt even want to be home when she came over. I never did this before, my parents were really shocked and disappointed with me a little. They did have a good time without me, which is good.

 What happened was the day before when I made dinner for 50 people with my feeding the homeless dinners, my sister was over, and after we had made the plates and were waiting to pass them out, she wanted one of my sectional plates that we had left over for the homeless project. Everyone knows how I feel about things that has been donated to me. I put them up and use them for the next year. All of these things are donated to me, and I want all of it to go to just that. I had plenty of things this year and some were left over, next year I plan to feed 75-100 people .

Well after we had made all 50 plates instead of my sister asking for a plate thats in my cabinet to use she insisted on using one of the donated plates. She was going over to my dad’s house and she needed a plate. I tried explaining to her, I will ACOMMONDATE  you with a plate, but NOT one of the plates that were donated. She didnt want to hear that, she figured that since I didnt use all of them, that she could have one. My issue is this, if I tell you naw boo, Im not going to let you have one of the donated plates because I dont see that its fair to those donated, why not take from the cabinet? Why do we have to argue in front of others who are here helping me? Why? You are my sister you should respect what Im doing and just got another plate. A BETTER ONE AT THAT!!! What really made me angry is I started thinking about all the things that I would go out and by for my gurls group and she would ask for the chips, or the juice and candy I have for them. She looks at it as if I can buy more, and were not going to * miss* what she ate. That just took me over the edge thinking about it. She in my opinion doesnt respect my stuff. She feels that I can replace the stuff, and that I wouldnt miss it. She dont get the whole point. I truly believe that if someone gifted me with $12,000 for my gurls group, and she was facing foreclose she would feel that I should LOAN her the money so that she can keep her house. Thats how she is. But Im not that way. Donated things are donated things. I just dont feel right mismanaged things that Im in charge of. We have talked since this, she came over to get something, but at the same time we havent talked about this. Things will fall in place, it’s just that she needs to respect my things. When she come over she can get anything she wants from me. Dont ask me anything just get it * as far as going in my fridge, and things like that.* My nieces and nephews too, this is their house as well. They already know. Just please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee when it comes to my gurls group food, goodies, money, and my homeless people things, DONT ASK ME FOR IT, PERIOD AT ALL. LOL I love my baby Sister with her spolied self! God bless

Well, Im off to bed. Good Night!

Feeding the Homeless for Thanksgiving

Wow, what can I say? This year’s Cree’s Feeding the Homeless for Thanksgiving went so well. It was an amazing day for all of us. We fed 50 people this Thanksgiving and next year its going to be even bigger. So many of my family and friends got involved, they donated food, money, time and their support for my second annual. I can even explain the looks on their faces when we arrived. It get dark here in Detroit about 5ish and we had just missed the day light. They were so happy that we thought of them, and they were so Thankful and grateful. I wish that we had more to give that day, but Im going to take one year at a time.  We drove around downtown Detroit, and it wasnt hard at all to find 50 people. The homeless shelters are over crowded and people were sleeping on the streets. They had lots to eat, drink, and munch on when we were done with them. I wanted to take photos, but it was not the right time to do that. The atmosphere wasnt right at all. I would love to do this at least 2 times a month.

This is my dream to this for them. I have had this on my heart for so many years. People think Im crazy when I say I want  to sleep outside for a night with them, to listen to their stories and testimonies of their life. I rather be around then any day than to deal with the people who have money that come through my line. These homeless people appreciate things, they are grateful. If people can look into my heart and into my mind they would understand why  feel the way I do. Feeding the homeless, working with the young gurls/kids/ and assisting the seniors this IS MY LIFE. I do want to do anything else!!! I love to travel, and fly, and spend time with my self, daughter, friends, family. This is who I am in this life. Helping people. I live good, I eat good, I have money to go shopping and buy nic nacks, my home is nice, I am truly blessed. Im not complete unless Im helping someone else. Giving is the best thing you could ever do. I use to be selfish and people would tell me this all the time. I hated to hear this, but I felt that if I keep giving then I want have anything. That is sooooooooooooooooo not true. I have more, and more to share.

This Christmas, I’m feeding the seniors at my dad’s Senior building. I told him to gather at least 10 people, and Im bringing them all a plate of GOOD FOOD!!!
