Sisters Only/ Weight Loss Update/ Detroit is Home for Me
Hey,
 Every time I think about being back home in Detroit from Atlanta…. I’m reminded of all the things that I’ve helped out with concerning my family, that I wonder how things would have turned out, had I not been here. I must say, since God said so first…”I am exactly where I’m suppose to be”. I love Atlanta, and I wouldn’t mind having my own apartment there, but for now…. Downtown Detroit is home for me… and after 2 years…. I’m finally okay with that.
 I’ve lost a total of 20 pounds!!! Yes! Walking Mon-Fri has really helped me to come down. The part that makes me happy is that whenever I hang with family and over eat, I know how to get back in the ring and get it off. I know how to eat, and I pay attention to my body. Its a challenge to me to reach a goal. I still have a long ways to go, but its challenging getting there…which is not so bad.
I’ve been hanging with my Sisters this past week. I love them so much. I want to put together a gathering for Sisters Only. But if you’re an only child and have a good friend who you call a Sister, that would be just fine to attend. I found out that when you get along well with the Siblings you grew up in the home with everyday , that you’re likely to get along with other women easily. For me…. I will never ever engage into a disagreement or anything physically with another woman… my thought is this…. if I don’t fight or fall out with THE SISTERS I LIVED IN THE HOUSE WITH EVERYDAY AS KIDS… why would I give negative energy and time into women outside of them? To me…. that’s equivalent to SUICIDE. Now that’s my thought on it. I’m so happy that it doesn’t have to be that way, because I have great friendships, and I LOVE all of my friends dearly.
In putting together “Sisters Only”… I want to teach women that its okay to have debates and arguments with your sisters because of difference of opinion. I’ve learned that my sisters and I have debates a lot because we ARE DIFFERENT. Â But our LOVE Â for each other is so strong, that debates and opinions HAS NEVER OUTWEIGHED that day and time of being together. Its not important to carry the difference of opinion into the next day, or month. For us, its not about being “right”.. its only about being able to express how we each feel. Lets be real…. we all feel like we’re right. After we debated it out and it dies down… we laugh, talk about who was the loudest, who had the best point and then its over. I think Sisters Only will help sisters to understand each other better. That is okay… that you’re not on the same page all the time.
I just had to post the above photo. I remember my momma giving us that eye. LOL We use to be scared… we knew if we didn’t stop what we were doing bad, it was on and poppin. Hehehehe
Be Blessed
Mystery Millionaire Season 1 Episode 6 (((((Blog)))))
Hey,
Just finished watching online Mystery Millionaire ” The Art of Deception” the last episode for season 1, because I was not home when it aired. This one made me cry.Â
I’m just like the best friend of the gurl who dated the millionaire… I’ll google you in a New York minute…. especially if I sense something off. God gave women great intuition, and sometimes if we don’t act on it, we’ll miss a lot of things that come our way. It made me cry because the gurl fell in love with the “Character” he portrayed on the show. She never got a chance to know the person he really is , because he cheated her out of that, by thinking it was wise getting to know the real person she was by lying about who he is. When came time to reveal to her that he’s a millionaire she wasn’t feeling him….. BECAUSE SHE FELT SHE DID NOT KNOW HIM.
 LYING…  turns off a REAL WOMAN. We feel that if we’re showing you our real face, then you should show yours too. So now she has to scramble in her mind different thoughts, she has to ask herself can she deal with his life style, will they be able to meet as often as HE MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE on the show. There are so many things a woman in her shoes has to ask herself . If you can’t meet a woman who will love you for you, just because she already knows who you are, then keep trying….. JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. Hell, you’re not special just because you’re rich, you must search, look and find just like everybody else. It really pisses me off that these Millionaires feel that LOVE is suppose to come easy, so they become “Characters” to see who really are for them.
Kick rocks in your favorite pair of Nikes, and blow bubbles at the same time.
Be Blessed!

He Had All the CLUES of a …… (((((BLOG)))))
Hey,
Yall know I always have a story to tell. LOL Sometimes I feel that words are on my forehead saying… I’m a writer come talk to me and give me a great story to share with my bloggers. LOL
As I was sitting along the beautiful River Walk on the Detroit River a few days ago, this guy who was running decided to come and sit by me to get to know me better. I promise being a Christian is hard work… people mistaken that  sweet  peaceful calm Spirit as an opportunity to “get over” on you. That bothers me a lot, because I feel that I have to “go there” with people… when really it shouldn’t  even be that way. I told him my name was Lisa… and I’m so glad I did. It was something about him, that I knew if I listen more than 15 minutes… it would show me who he was.. AND IT DID.
He told me that he was carrying around his “credentials”  in this album because he was trying to gain employment and eventually  move to Canada. That was a “clue” to who he was… and I’m calling it Clue # 1. When I asked him where he stayed, he said he stay with a “room mate” ((a guy)) that he met at Starbucks after he and his gurlfriend broke up and didn’t have a place to go. That was Clue #2. That told me that he was sorta  like a “drifter” a person who tries to get in where he fit in. Any sign of an opportunity to get ahead at YOUR expense he will. It told me that he was purposely looking for people to meet. He had some shades…. and anytime he wanted to know about me, the shades were off, but when it came down to him sharing his story, he put them on. Clue #3. When he told me that he was 28… I was the happiest person on that day… it gave me an opportunity to “wrap up” the conversation and for him to BEAT IT. Told him, my daughter was 28 * she’ll be Sep 3* and that I had nothing in common with men HER age. Instead of him exiting from my “straight to the point, direct eye contact, bass in my voice, turned my head and made no eye contact with him after wards”, he still didn’t leave. So, I said to myself okay….. he’s up to something.
As I watched my phone because I had to be someplace at a certain time, he kept making small talk. When he told me how close he stayed and the landmark near it… he said it the WRONG WAY. He said that he stayed near Belle Isle. Clue # 4.  If you grew up and was raised in Detroit.. you pronounce it like this…. *Bell Owl*… AND NO OTHER WAY. LOL LOL I knew that doe doe bird was from another city. I went right in after he said it wrong……. “Where are you from”? LOL He looked at me as if I was the smartest woman HE HAD EVER MET IN HIS LIFE. LOL And said Houston. After about an hour.. he was still sitting there. I didn’t say a word.. I enjoyed the silence.
 Just then a couple came and sat on the bench next to ours (((LOL after all those that were there)))… oooweeee.. why they do that? This guy was SOOOO irritated about that. I heard God loud and clear when he said…. you see that? I said yesss Lord…. I’m paying attention. Clue # 5. Just then God said…. he’s going to ask you to take him home.  I kept saying  to God, I knew this guy is up to no good. I sat there mentally preparing his VERBAL DEATH. I looked at my phone and it said…. 5:04… I  said… OH WELL… LET ME GO. He said.. oooo ummmm umm oooooouumm which way are you going? I smiled in my mind because he was fulfilling just what God told me. I pointed in the direction of where I was going. He said.. do you mind if you can drop me off. I LOOKED AT HIM… I said.. I, WILL NEVER—— EVER—— IN MY LIFE—— let a stranger get in the car of my personal space. I said I don’t know you. Told him, my daughter would have a fit if she THOUGHT I took a stranger home. He made me so heated, I said I wouldn’t even let a stranger WALK ME TO MY CAR.  Then he said… no.. I’m not like that, here are my “credentials”  right here,* showing me his album of his ID and important papers. I said I DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT.. DON’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, I’M NOT TAKING YOU ANYWHERE. I made it PERSONAL..  Just then I jumped up REAL FAST… catching him off guard, told him I was leaving…… and left! He didn’t know which car was mines * lol*,  it was actually parked directly behind where we were sitting. He wanted to know so badly which one it was. As I walked off…. I walked the whole circle to get to my car…. NO THIS CLOWN didn’t get out of his seat.. and started doing push ups on the side walk just to have full view of where I was walking. It was so funny watching him looking around for me, by the time he spotted me, I was popping the locks on the car. LOL
I know for a fact by the way he was irritated that couple sat near us, had they not came, he would have harassed me  and tried to convince me that he was a good person. He got me messed up… I watch too many killer shows for me not to know the signs of my last days on earth….messing around with him. He’s looking for another person to link up with so that he can free load and create another opportunity for himself to advance. This VIRGO is way to smart for that. If people knew what I KNEW…. they would stop TODAY.
Let me say this. People will show you who they are be them FAKE OR GOOD PEOPLE…. just pay attention to the Spirit they usher in with them. The Spirit is like a fragrance of cologne or perfume. Pay attention people. Listen. don’t be so quick to want a friendship, that you miss the person you’re befriending. Give them time, honey, they will show you all day the fragrance they wear.
Be Blessed!
Two is better than one…….(((((Blog)))))
Hey yall,
Thursday as I was pulling into my parking lot in my building, all of a sudden out the blue, in my right eye I saw a cloudy vision of what looked like eye lashes in my eye. Whenever I would turn my eye from right to left, I could see “something”… my heart started beating so fast. I was able to see out of the eye, but I could see a thin coat of “hair” which looked to be red, and “swishy”. I jumped out of the car walking to my apartment so fast. First thing I did was pull my lashes off. After doing that, as I was looking in the mirror… I saw 2 small blood clots in my eye. Anxiety kicked in and I was going crazy in my mind. I was so nervous. I didn’t know what was going on. I must have walked my hallway in my apartment 40 times, praying. I wanted to go through emergency, but I had to see if it would “go away” the next day.
After calming down, and realizing that it wasn’t going away, I went to bed and never got any sleep constantly wondering what was happening. The next day came, and it was worst. I went to the mirror and noticed that those 2 dots on the white part of my eye had connected and joined together and now the blood clot is around the black part of my eye. When I put my hand over my left eye, I can see out of the right, but not good. I was miserable and went to emergency that night. My daughter went with me but she kept telling me that this was something that I had to wait out. She knew what I was going through, but I needed to talk to a doctor. After being checked the doctor, doing several test, she said that my eye was normal and that it was something that I had to wait out. This takes about 7 days. Oh boy……….
Here it is Monday, and I’m so glad that its going away. The clots on the white part of my eye balls are gone, but not the eye ball. The point.. in sharing my story is… You see things totally different when your eye/body is going through something. I really realize that its so important to Thank God for your life. As I sat in peace and quiet talking to God… I thought about how my left eye totally took charge and helped the right eye out. When my eye was “shishing” back and forth like hair was taking over my vision, my left eye had its back. The bible says that two are better than one. When one goes out, whether its your feet, leg, arm, ears, the other will pick the slack.Â
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12New International Version (NIV)
9Â Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
10Â If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
 Thank you Lord for being with me during that time. I was NOT doing well. God has your back even when you have no idea what’s going on. Be Blessed!
Sitting here thinking about MEN… (((((BLOG))))))
I guess I’ve been in a writing mood lately.
Just sitting here thinking . I hate when men think they know me just because I show myself “friendly” smile with them and laugh. Maybe buy them water, or a fruit or something, (((because of the weather or just being nice))) then I keep it moving. Women these days have made it so easy for a man to come along and tell them anything. So when they meet me…. they feel its the same way. They feel that I’m giving them a hard time when I don’t show interest  just because I bought them something. This is how I am. You can’t make me laugh, tell me how many properties you have, and where you work to make me do flips over you. The more I make it clear that I DON’T WANT TO MARRY YOU, I DON’T SEE YOU IN A SEXUAL WAY, I DON’T WANT ANYMORE KIDS, and I DON’T SEE YOU THAT WAY…. the more they feel that they have to try harder. It becomes a challenge to some men. They come up with different “tricks” and conversation to try their best to get you on the page that they’re on. Just let me be friendly. I don’t want anything from you. All it does it turn me off. And when La’Crease Walker gets turned off….. I will NO LONGER look at you with that smile in my eyes. And to be honest, most likely… I’ll be praying not to IGNORE you. Just fall back.
I’ve learned in the past about myself is that when I gave my body to men, they had the POWER. Not in a bad way, but I became submissive, and I don’t want to be that way with just a boyfriend.. I want to be that way with my HUSBAND. I have so much POWER when I don’t give my body to a man. Set the conversations and the atmosphere SISTERS. No man have POWER over my mind or my body as long as I say NO….
Women.. know your worth. Anytime a man whats your body…. there must be some GOOD to it. Put it on ice, save it, work on your mind and your life. A man can have any conversation with you, lie, be honest and lie again, but they haven’t gained NOT ONE SINGLE THING FROM YOU.
Be Blessed

Hell to the Neva Naw/The QUEEN of planning/Meeting Soon (((((Blog)))))
After having Nesha, people always and to this day ask me… do I want anymore children? My answer is Hell to the Neva Naw. I don’t care how long his money is, how sweet a person he is, how bad he wants one with me, nor the fact that he doesn’t have any. I can’t even IMAGINE a LOVE that strong to make me change my mind. I can’t even IMAGINE loving a man so deeply that I would change my mind about having one with him. I be dogone if I stay home and raise kids while he work 80 hours a week. Some women would love to give birth again even after having grown adult children. At this point in my life, I want to enjoy my husband. I want to travel and stay in different hotels, take cruises and even host parties. Nesha’s dad is the ONLY man who child I have and WILL carry. Why am I even writing about this….. I don’t even talk about it in person. But IJS.
* photo Nesha her dad and brother*
My brother is having his first baby at 41. Yesss, and we love his girlfriend. I think that he may marry her, she is sweet as pie. She’s a young gurl too only 25… see that’s what those MEN OF MONEY AND POWER want.. a young gurl to carry his baby. Well, go head baaaaby.. its your life. I aint mad at you. LOL LOL LOL He has the money to take care of them both…. did I mention that she has twins all through her family, and for 3 months she is HUGE!! We’ll know this month when she has her doctors appointment. And guess what? She asked me to throw her a baby shower. The QUEEN of planning. Yes… I’m honored. So, now I get to see whats going on with a Wedding ( Sep 2015) and how its planned ( will be interning ) and I get to throw the Baby Shower of my brother. So… I’m getting my experience in for real.
Have you wanted something so badly to come true that you can taste it? You prayed and prayed on it, and you know God is going to let it come to past, that you think about it so deeply then you just let it go… ONLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I’m so excited… every time I think about it.. I get this butterfly feeling in my heart. God has been working behind the scene all this time to make this come true. I can’t wait to see this person face to face… eye contact.. facial expression… everything in my thoughts and dreams. Father God in the name of Jesus that time is almost here.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Alright people… on my way to bed.. have a long day tomorrow……Oh yeah and  ESPECIALLY this weekend. Yesss!

Elders/Respect/Living For Tomorrow/Ephesians 4:32
Â
Every time someone post a YOUTUBE video about teens, women or babies… its almost always SPOOKY to watch. These days no one has respect for our Elders. I’m 46 years old and you will never catch me cussing in PUBLIC, on Facebook, or anywhere else in front of them. I just don’t believe that ANY CONVERSATION is so deep, where you can’t find other words to use to help you get your point across.  How can you not look at them with a special eye when they walk pass you? You’re suppose to ALWAYS look them in the eye, smile, speak and ask them how they’re doing? How can someone go on with their normal day and not give these people RESPECT? Even just walking pass someone you’re suppose to acknowledge their presence. So what you don’t know them… open your mouth and speak. If God took your mouth and your voice away.. I bet you break your back trying to make SOMEBODY/ANYBODY notice YOUR “NOW”… NON SPEAKING SELF.
This behavior has to be practiced. Women, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Nephews…. when you see this happening in your family or with someone you know… open your month and make them speak. This builds Character, and also RESPECT. Speaking is FREE… I see if money was deducted from your pay check, and you have to cut down on the number of people you speak to in a pay period… BUT ITS FREE.
STOP cussing, and having disrespectful conversations in front of our Elders. Think before you speak. Stop making your daughters twerk and then putting these things on line for others to see. One day when they grow up and become different people, they will spend years or the rest of their lives convincing people they’re not that person anymore. Whenever you make a choice, make sure its not just for TODAY…. make sure its one you can live with JUST IN CASE YOU CHANGE. Make sure your conversations are seasoned with “salt” in good taste. Pleasant. Show yourself friendly. Everything is FREE!
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32 (New International Version)

Love/Bored/Chill (((((((Blog)))))))
Hey Yall!!
I’m so bored tonight. Came home from running some errands, took a nap, ate dinner and now I know I’m up for a while. I thought about going to the casino, but I didn’t want to go alone. I enjoy sitting at the bar, and listening to the bands play. Im directly down the street from Greektown, but my favorite is Motor City and MGM. I’m just a boring nerd.  You can really tell how bored I am.. I’m taking quizzes on line.
I had a good time with my family yesterday.
I’m all over the place, but I wish that I had a coupla thousands, I would go to Walmart and house shop till I drop. I get in those moods where I want to spend lots of money on my apartment. Even though I’m ready to move out of this one ( not the building). I love to late night shop, but after getting rob… I don’t go out after 10 anymore. I would get up around 4-5 in the morning with my sister and friend, and we would hit Kmart, and Walmart. Too many goons out these days. Anyway.. I’m closing this blog…guess.. I’ll watch TV and chill out.
Your spiritual power is:
Love
You are a true lover and an ambassador of love. You spirit and persona can allure and absorb anyone. You are so real and raw that your imperfections make you even more lovable.

How to deal with family on HOLIDAYS/Rough Look/My Boo (((((Blog)))))
* All photos are of MY family*
As a Woman… I LOVE LOVE LOVE to look rough, or have bad days. Because I know when I do my hair…… and put on some clothes…. Baaaaaaaaby….head spins. LOL Ladies its okay to have those days. I know people who would never get caught looking “rough”… but to me THEY LOOK THE SAME EVERYDAY. I hate to see a ” ON PURPOSE SAME FACE” …. looking person. I love seeing a man with different looks. I love seeing his facial hair growing out and looking dirty because of WORK… then goes into the bathroom to shower, and shave looking like a totally different person. I LOVE THAT. TURNS ME ON….. LIKE REALLY TURNS ME ON REAL HARD. LOL As a woman I never want to look the same EVERDAY ALL DAY… these types of people…. you can tell love to POWER CONTROL their atmosphere and would DIE.. if they’re caught looking any other way.
Saw my boo today… I just LOVE a man who speaks my language * talking junk*… loving and sweet at the same time. Side ways talking…. HATE IT. There is a difference.
In other news. The holiday weekend is approaching, and I hope that FAMILIES can come together and have a good time. There is nothing wrong with FRIENDS hanging out, but FAMILIES are so important. As I study human behavior, I’m finding that people who don’t get along with FAMILY.. cling to FRIENDS… and found that they have more tolerance for them. I wish that people would understand…. that its okay if you have a family member who gossip and talk to much. Thing is LEARNING how to deal with them. Learn how to work their personality. Its okay to give your family members a few days or weeks off.. but don’t let it go on for years. Don’t let another family functions come up and YOU don’t want to go because YOU don’t want to have to deal with AUNTIE BETTY. Learn how to chose your lanes…
Let me give you an example: My auntie loves to drink, and when she does, she don’t get drunk. SHE’LL JUST HEM YOU UP and talk for hours about things that happened to her when she was younger, and how to deal with it, in case it happens to you. Now me… when I’m at FAMILY FUCTIONS I like to work the room, talk to this person, laugh with this person, dance with that person, cry , talk JUNK * cause that’s what I do in LOVE AND FUN*. But at the same time my Auntie needs someone to listen to her stories. So, instead of saying.. I’m not coming to the FUCNTION because Auntie Betty is going to get me in the corner and I’ll be force to listen to her stories for hours. I’ll say hey auntie….listen for 10 minutes, and tell her… I’ll catch up with you later going over to talk to Lisa. People have to learn how to talk to others to get your point across KNOWING you’re not offending. If you have a BIG MOUTH COUSIN who sits up and brags about what she have, what she’s trying to get, what she want and all this other stuff…. speak and chat a little…. THEN KEEP IT MOVING…. don’t become a AUDIENCE MEMBER TO HER. See this is the reason why people act a FOOL at FAMILY FUCTIONS…. they HAVE YOU AS A audience member. Being a member allow these people to DO AND SAY WHATEVER….. LISTEN LOVES…… ALL SHOWS GET CANCELLED WHEN RATINGS ARE LOW!!!! * WINK* SHUT FUNNY ACTING FAMILY MEMBERS DOWN AND still enjoy them. After a while, they’ll come around and be your BEST FAMILY MEMBER.
Enjoy your JULY 4TH HOLIDAY WEEKEND!
Be Blessed!

Inside the mind of cree
