Living to Learn Life Lessons
Hey
Just checking in..
Photos below are of my Ex- Walmart Co-workers Diane and Ommunad. Can you believe they met at work? I went to their wedding Sunday June 15, 2014. I had the best time. And I caught the bouquet. Yeaaaa. lol lol
Guess what? Okay so after realizing that this is what I want to do.. part time, and eventually having my own business as a Wedding/Event Planner… I remember a good friend of mines is getting married next year. I asked her if I can come along to meet her vendors, cake tasting, wine, dress fitting, meetings with her wedding party and all the things associated with her wedding. She said yess.. the more the merrier. I just want to come along and get a feel of actual conversations that goes on. I want to learn about contracts, and the process of making a wedding come to life. I’m so excited. I’m coming along to learn, not to take away, but to observe and write down everything I can. Matter of fact it has already started.
You would make an excellent event planning specialist! You have all the qualities needed to excel in this career! You love being around and working with people, you’re organized, detail-oriented, creative, and have good business sense. You’re going to be great!
All a man really wants is a good woman by his side. Men have just as hard of a time trying to find a good woman as women have trying to find a good man. Women have to kiss frogs in order to find a Prince and men have to wade through pools of women, who for the sake of the cleanliness of this article we will just say crazy women, worthless woman, b’s, h’s, gold diggers, and you fill in the blanks.
A good woman is comprised of much more than being a woman who keeps a clean house and puts a hot meal on the table.. Things like that are nice and pretty much a necessity depending on the relationship, but they are only the basics. Many women say they want a good man but have you asked yourself if you’re a good woman?
Here are a few traits of a good woman:
1.Encouraging/Supportive/Motivates – A good woman isn’t quiet with no input. She’s full of ideas to help improve your business, outlook in life and overall health. She supports her mans ideas and motivates him to accomplish his goals. A good woman is a good listener. Ultimately she is able to change you without trying. A good woman makes you a better man.
2.She Keeps Him Honest – A man is not allowed to be lazy when he’s in a relationship with a good woman. She makes him honest. If you tend to make excuses for why you can’t do something a good woman will call you out on your bs and make you shape up.
If you want a promotion, but claim to not be able to get one she will quickly let you know that in all honestly you’re not doing enough. A good woman will always encourage her man to make an honest living that he can be proud of. Most importantly she knows how to talk to him and tell him these things without being down on him.
3.King Him – Feeding your man grapes, strawberries and parading around in little enticing outfits is delightful, but what about providing him with some mental stimulation. A good woman not only speaks to the King in her man, but she also treats him as such. She sees potential in him. She treats you like he is the most capable and deserving man in the world, in addition to spoiling and catering to him in the most feminine way.
A good woman will often make a man feel like he’s the only man who exists in her eyes. There is power in a good woman who can push her man to new heights.. A good woman sees greatness in her King. She thinks he’s amazing and makes him feel as such. A good woman is so amazing that she will have a man feeling like Nas, when he made “If I Ruled The World.” She will have him feeling like anything is possible, like he could actually change the world.. Imagine that, or simply google Barack Obama.
4.SHE’S SECURE – A good woman is secure within herself and not easily jealous over other women. She’s not quick to put the next woman down just because she thinks the woman looks good and provides competition to her own looks. No man wants an insecure woman who is always messing up his business deals because she thinks he’s flirting with or having sexual relations with the women he works with.
5.STABILITY – Women often look for stability in a man. What they don’t know is that it’s their characteristics as a woman that cause a man to become stable. Most relationships are temporary, you actually know they will expire any minute.
She makes him think about a future with her.
A good woman will make you think of your goals and plans and make sure they are in alignment with what you want out of life. If a woman wants a stable man then she needs to be stable herself. That’s one of the top signs of a good woman.
6.ALLERGIC TO GOLD DIGGING – A good woman doesn’t require that you buy her expensive gifts in order to obtain or maintain her affection. She’s just as happy with sentimental gifts from a man as she would be with a gift of Louboutin shoes. It’s not all about money with her, it’s all about you and the man whom you are.
When a man finds a good woman that’s when those wedding bells start to ring.

Tonight I watched one of my FAVORITE shows Mystery Millionaire. (google it)
I love this show because I enjoying seeing how these women will react when they find out that the guy they’ve been seeing is actually a Millionaire. The millionaire goes on 3 dates with different women, but the one he connects the most with, he’ll ask out for a second. During these dates, he’s given a house, car and fake occupation. He has to keep up with the lie until the end of the show where he will then tell the person, who he really likes, that everything about what she knows about him is a LIE.
The show is really good. I must admit I love it. But the down side of it is that the woman always walk away “feeling some kinda way”… because while he got to “know her”…. she doesn’t know a thing about him. Everything was a lie. So now she has to regroup and ask him questions all over again, while he breaks his neck “being himself”…. gladly. Bragging and boasting about what he has, and where he’s been, who he knows.
As she begins to know more about him, she has to ask herself “will I be able to deal with him flying in and out of town every week, or wonder how many women are still attached to him?” How does he get along with his parents and siblings? We all know Millionaires cling to their friends, the ones who are publicly known. They separate themselves a distance from FAMILY… because they always “have their hands out”. These are important questions when dating a Millionaire. If they talk side ways about their family members, and PRAISE their FRIENDS… trust me…. you’ll be on his lips too and not in a positive way.
Millionaires ALWAYS feel that it PROTECTS THEM * SMH* when they go “undercover” to find out who are for them, and who is not. That’s fake to me, and if I’m ever tested in LOVE this way, I’ll never ever in my life talk to him again. EVER. I’m to straight a person to give him the “REAL ME” while he feed me lies on a bed of shrimp…. got me messed up. I don’t play games like that. Just stop talking to me because its a wrap. His heart is “protected”…. but mines is all over the place.
Again, I LOVE the show, but while the men search to find someone who will LOVE them for them, its the women who get played in the end. Mind games, and LIES don’t mix with LOVE.

Hey
I had a wonderful last few days. Sometimes you just gotta make moves in order to feel good about yourself or a certain situation. There is nothing wrong with it either.
There’s this guy that I’ve been feeling for a long time that I get to see daily. I pay attention to consistency in a man. This person is the same every time I see him. He always have a pleasantness about him that I just love. He doesn’t even have to say much, he’s a doer. He’s one of those type of guys that enjoys to cook and have family barbecues at his house, family or a park. I always admire that in a man. When he speaks I listen, he’s so interesting, so helpful. So sweet, so honest and truthful.
These days some MEN are motivated by having MONEY, BIGGER AND “BETTER”. Some will never enjoy life in a family way, because they’re too busy either chasing MONEY…. OR/AND OOOOS AND AHHH’S. Sad part is, many of them don’t know how to LOVE. They’ve never experienced real love, because they’re so busy trying to impress people. Real love is displayed by dinners, seeing each other, walks on the beach, good mornings and good nights. Spending time taking rides together, small talk between being busy. Communication, agreements, compromise and understanding Not POWER STRUGGLING, demanding, one way conversations, side talking, and broken ” I’ll get back to you in a moment” and never do situations. Be done with those types of BUMS.Catch them on JUDGEMENT DAY and not a hour before.
I come from a family who LOVE TO LOVE on each other. WOMEN KNOW YOUR WORTH!
Be Blessed
Today was one of those days where people just got on my nerves with stupid stuff. If you’re not going to use your mind …. I’m not mad at you at all…. but I refuse to use my brain juice up , and I still have many hours before bed time. Nope aint gon happen! I hate being so nice some times. I about to cut all of that out. I know people who will LIE and swear they are going to get back with you on certain things, LIE about situations and stories. I’m done with them. I’m convinced in order to live in this life right now, I have to go back to my old ways…. DON’T GIVE A FORK!! I’m just tired of being nice, smiling and being different. Some people want you to nut up on them. They want to purposely come into your life and hold you up. Seems like the only way I can make it in this world is to be the old LACREASE. Thing is I care, but when I, LaCrease Walker, stop caring…..its gon get ugly. This me…. starts NOW!
Hey,
Just wanted to stop in and update you all on my weight loss. Yessss!!! This journal of losing weight is all in our heads… I promise it is. I can’t say that its easy, but once you see what trigger your eating, you will be able to control and be conscience if what you eat. You have to really plan your meals ahead of time. Shop by the week if you can.. because you’ll most likely cook what you buy and have at home and if you plan your days , you will have a grip on your food intake.
Right now I’m between clothes. All my outfits that I wore last summer, I cant wear anymore. They are too big, and if I try to wear them anyway, they look like I’ve slept in them. On my way out with mommy again today.. and I’m like omgggg what am I wearing? LOL I love having to say that because I am looking at so many clothes with the tag on them, and I will soon be in them all.
Another thing about losing weight too. I use to be the type of person who hate to let go of people, and things in my life. And I always said * so crazy thinking about it* that I loved many of my outfits so much that I didn’t want to lose weight. Craaaaazy!!!! I have no love for those clothes anymore. I cant wait to be out of them. What kind of thinking is that? I’m glad and happy to be out of them so that I can constantly be going to other sizes.
Since I started the May & June Challenge May 7, I lost a total of 14 pounds!!!! My highest weight ever… I loss a total of 34 pounds!!!! WOW… I’m tooooooo beautiful inside and out for this weight!!!
I am so proud of Tamela Mann… look at this WOMAN OF GOD… will ya?

I love Amusement Parks….and even though I don’t like to ride roller coasters or rides that’s high in the sky. I’ve always had a connection to the actual park.
The park to me in MY mind reminds me of a place where there is laughter, fun screams, eating, walking, photo taking, water, shows, and of course rides. When I was a kid I use to wonder what do the rides do after all the guest are gone. Do they rest and sleep? Do they talk to each other? Are they happy to have people ride them, because its their ” PURPOSE” in life? I’ve always had a wild live imagination when it comes to this topic. People say I’m crazy for these thoughts, but I believe with all my heart, that when Parks close down for good, its a sadness that lurks over it. The Spirit of it is gone. In my crazy mind, I feel that the rides are sad and depress that it has no lively hood anymore. No more children to make laugh, no more screaming . The smell of food no longer fills the air.
I always wondered that if I walked through an abandoned Amusement Park, would I be able to feel the Spirits that once visited there? I’m always watching YouTube videos of Amusement Parks… but this one.. really got to me. 😦 Six Flags over New Orleans. I wish I could wake up the rides and nurse them back to health from Hurricane Katrina. Ill get the kids and families back on the rides again. I can see Roller coasters happy, swings swinging, music playing, kids running, parents smiling, food cooking.
Please watch this video with me. Remember to feel the Spirit of Happiness!!
Be Blessed!
