Men who WORK-WORK-WORK TOO MUCH!/BLOG

Hey,

Meet … MY GOD NIECE.. MY GOD SISTERS DAUGHTER, AND ONLY CHILD!

brittney brittney

Her parents met in High School got married and had my niece. They were both smart, she got her Masters in Accounting, and he went to school for Heating and Cooling! They built 2 business together and own a total of 13 homes. All while growing up he told my niece that he wanted to pass the business down to her. He taught her how to open a bank account and save money. He taught her about buying homes and selling them. He taught her about how people are, and to be careful of shady business deals. How to mingle and rub arms with people who could help her with her business.

My niece dad thought he was spending “quality” time with the family, my niece grew up (( grown woman)), they all grew apart, and my sister divorced. He wanted to work all day and night, weekends too.. to “build” the family business, but my sister wanted time, love and trips together as a couple and a family while they grew old. My niece dad felt it was best to build up, then take trips later in life. All through the years of my niece’s dad wanting her to take over the family business, she didn’t want that for her life. But she couldn’t tell him because this was HIS dream and it would break his heart. Stop putting pressure on your kids… STOP IT!!! Just because you found something that worked for you, don’t pressure your kids to follow your footsteps, when they want to do something DIFFERENT. It only makes sense to YOU that you built something that’s solid. And that’s OKAY..but your child doesn’t want that for their lives.. Deal with it. Yes, its a great idea, yess you struggled and sweated, but this is NOT your child’s dream.

How does a child tell her parent/s (( in this case the dad, because her mom saw it coming))… THANK YOU for grooming me for the family business since BIRTH… but UM NO THANK YOU… this is not MY career path or MY DREAM?

I have seen it first hand. I knew it all along. My niece wants a family with a husband, both have jobs, meet up at evening, have dinner , talk, family time, and then bed time. My niece dad spent all day and night even Sundays building the “business”… and no one wanted it but him. He became selfish, at first it was the money, then it was the POWER now its the INFLUENCE of the LOCAL AND WORLD WIDE LEADERS IN HIS FIELD AND OUT. He’s now engaged, and guess who will spend all the money… HIS NEW WIFE.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. AND HER NEW MAN! HAHAHAHHAHHAHAH.. THE MOMENT HE DIES! ((( YALL GON LEARN))) A woman who hasn’t spent a DAY in the building of the process. My sister is happy, and gladly to pass on the money without the MAN. HAHAHAHAHAHHA

The relationship of that dad -daughter is little to none. This is how men are disappointed, and in their feelings about their kids, because they spent their whole lives DREAMING , HOPING, WISHING AND GROOMING their kids would follow their footsteps.

Meet Jenae from Sweetie Pies and her new FIANCEE

I was just Congratulating Jenae Wallick on her engagement this weekend to her trainer Arthur Shivers III. I’m so happy for them and especially her. She’s the mother of Tim from Sweetie Pies on the OWN Network. Jenae was once engaged to Tim, but things didn’t work out between them. It was so hard to watch. She really loved him, but he wanted to move out of town to expand the family business. I believed he knew she didn’t want to leave St. Louis, because she wanted to be near her family, but he went anyway. They broke up, and shortly after he moved to California.

I really hope that Tim slows down enough to enjoy LIFE and HIS ONLY CHILD/SON. People like him who work, work, work, swears up and down they enjoy their lives. They’ll be the same ones when they’re in their 60’s saying how much they wish they had slowed down to enjoy family and friends more. I personally don’t want to hear that mess. Because along the way, people have constantly beat it in their heads, but all they could see is the “business”. I see it ALL THE TIME ON UNDERCOVER BOSS. I have watched every episode, and that is one of the #1 thing these men say… yessss and even the women bosses. They always thought they were spending time with their kids, when really they weren’t doing anything but MISSING OUT… providing, giving kisses, hugs, a few down to earth conversations.. AND THE REST OF THEIR TIME.. BUYING THEM THINGS, AND TELLING THEM THEY WANT THEM TO TAKE OVER THE COMPANY WHEN THEY’RE OLDER… UM excuse meeeeeeee.. BUT your kids don’t want to do that SHIT! That’s YOUR dream! And don’t you DARE be DISAPPOINTED when they tell you this!

I AM La’Crease.. and I don’t have to do anything else.

Wise Words From This Man Of God/BLOG

AL WILSON2

“Fellas, Stop putting your faith and trust..in women that doesn’t know God (I grew up Christian so Dont want to go back and forth about religion..my preference) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes the beholder needs some “Reality Glasses” on. Shes “Fine”, got a banging body ETC. will have you confused, twisted and lost. Whats her HEART Like?? Seriously Many can’t see it now, but don’t wait to late to find out that its rotten, shallow, bitter and empty. Notice the signs Bro’s..Notice the signs. Let God LEAD you down the right lane to a woman that Loves God, genuinely cares for you, and has YOUR BACK NO MATTER WHAT!! Your eyes lie..your heart doesn’t. Trust him as the source.. 😎✌

AMEN!!

@KIMVFIELDS KENYA NEEDS YOU/BLOG

Hello Kim,

After watching RHOA last night and me needing a bottle of high blood pressure pills from watching Kenya . (( Ooo Jesus)) I finally came to the conclusion as to why you are on the show.

Everyone can see that you’re a praying woman. Not only one who reads her bible, but one who practice it. I watch you closely. Your facial expressions, the words you use, the calm tone of voice, the “gotta go” exits, and ahhh your beautiful Spirit. You are a woman who loves the Lord. A woman who practices self control. A woman who can walk in and set the atmosphere at any meet, and one who truly will NOT conform to the ways of this world. I LOVE YOU GURL!!!!

I myself have a very deep personal relationship with the Lord. He speaks to me so clearly. A few weeks ago as I was picking up my keys off the counter to leave my apartment. I heard him loud and clear when he said, “Cree take those quarters,” (( they were next to my keys)) because you’re going to need them. I answered him right away saying.. Oh no, I’m okay, I have my debit card. Just then I realized that it was him, and I picked them up. I took my mom to her doctors appointment, came out.. AND MY TIRE WAS ON A FLAT! The gas station was right across the street. That’s the kind of relationship I have. So, I shared all of that to say…….

After seeing last nights episode. And allowing Kenya to give me the headache of my life. I asked God why is Kim Fields on this show Lord? I know you. I know you have a reason as to why she’s here. I know your Character. I know you Lord. This gurl does not even fit in with these women style of life. I told him ” I know you’re up to something?” I know you Lord!

Its to get you out of your comfort zone, and to be the ONE WHO HELP KENYA!

God sent you to help Kenya. You may not know it, or maybe this is conformation. The way you handled yourself when she pulled your seat back, ONLY GOD COULD ALLOW YOU TO GO THROUGH THAT ON TV WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD WATCH AND YOU NOT CHOCK HER OUT WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!!!! Only God! You showed the WORLD.. how to reframe from ANGER! You showed us, not only do you read your bible, but you practice it. Then you went home to a loving HUSBAND who not only allowed you to VENT.. using all the colorful words you wanted…. THEN HE bought YOU WAY BACK DOWN .. UM UM UM UM FATHER GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUSSSSSSSSSS YESSS!!!! That’s what Im talking about!

Kenya needs you. She’s been hurt. Deeply hurt by her mom. Hurt people hurt people. God is allowing you to see how truly strong you are. Be there for her when she comes.
Open your arms out to her. Be the loving person you are to your children … to her. She needs your strength. She’s not mad or angry with you, its her situation. Of course I know you know that. Deep down she admires you. Loving mom, loving wife, family, loves the Lord, faithful. Show her love when she comes. Cry with her, love her, take her under your wings. And one thing is for sure, she will NEVER EVER EVER EVER had to worry about you repeating anything that she’s shared with you. If you decide to come back for a Season 2, know that you are on assignment…. because I know in order for you to agree, you’ve already checked in with DADDY!

LOVE YA GURL

Women pay attention! /BLOG

TEACHING

I just wish some women would just wait on God. Jumping into things because of feelings will have you back at page 1.

I know that when I was younger, I made a lot of mistakes, things I wish I could take back, but I can’t. But….. at some point you gotta ask yourself.. DAYUM WHAT AM I DOING? Take a look at yourself. What are you showing your kids about your mental behavior? What are they thinking about you? What will they carry with them into their relationships… just by watching you? This is the reason why so many kids are suffering as teens and adults… by looking at their parents growing up.

Im just lost at some of the things I know and see.

Watch yo mouth… SLICK TALKER!!/BLOG

MY FACE

I was watching a clip of Jada Pinkett-Smith when she was about to be interviewed concerning the Aunt Viv video. It kinda blew me away when the reporter couldn’t get her question out fast enough, and Jada snapped her fingers and told her to “get it out”. It reminded me so CLEARLY of situations that’s happening daily to so many people. Please click the link below to see just what I’m talking about.

http://video.etonline.com/services/player/bcpid4090904807001?bckey=AQ~~,AAABIWNF7qE~,EJbsvFObVfKleaX45blr-LPdvkNgxtW3&bctid=4713872770001

Ever since I started working at 14… I always pride myself on treating people like I wanted to be treated. That always stays on my mind, but let me be clear there have been many times, where I’ve fell short of that. I never knew what it is about me (( well I know now)) that always made members of management take a liking to me. Not only that, but my co-workers as well. I’m not saying that they favored me, but I am saying that I respect others, they respect me, and I don’t haha hehe in their faces. I talk to people with a tone of voice where they get it, and not be offended. I don’t talk side ways, and I don’t scream. I use DIRECT eye contact, and #1 I will not complain to a co-worker about something that’s management related! I go to them. I say all of this to say…..catch and check “side ways talking” on the spot. Because once it builds up, you will allow people to run all over you. Now, I know the difference in playing and acting silly, being sarcastic and having fun because you know the person. But just off rip.. HELL TO THE NAW!

I know a lot of people. I know how to communicate. I know how to express myself. I know how to get my point across. Yes, I may come on strong, but I enjoy working on that. I have came a long way. People, mainly coworkers have always felt that I was the favorite of management…. not true. I love myself, and I respect myself. I can see things from a level of a person with Power, and a person who has no Power. Thank you Jesus I can. I hate unfairness. I can’t stand favoritism.

MY POINT! To see Jada snap her fingers at the REPORTER… when she would NEVER EVER EVA EVA EVA EVA do that to Oprah, Cicely Tyson, or Denzel Washington, pisses me off to NO END! People mistreat others according to how they SEE THEM. That’s just DISRESPECTFUL AND UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I have seen Celebrities on Twitter speak or hold a conversation to another celebrity… and wont that person BREAK THEIR DAYUM FINGER NAILS RESPONDING BACK,((( and will apologize if they saw it days later)))) just to not seem like they are ignoring the person. Its fu**ing sad. I listen to Steve Harvey in the morning. And when he’s talking to a Celebrity on the phone, they’ll ask how he’s doing, and its laughs and conversations. But when a non celebrity call in, he rushes to say that he’s doing fine, and if the story don’t make sense he will TALK ALL KINDS OF SIDE WAYS …. and I just be like ARE YOU SERIOUS? Could NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BE ME!!!! I have to turn the station because I can’t stand to listen to the down talk. The interruptions, the side ways talking, the making the caller feel STUPID AND WORTHLESS. Pay attention. Thing is…. he probably has no idea he does this. Its a AUTO-PILOT of who to talk to side ways… and WHO NOT TOO. Publicly, celebrities don’t talk side ways to each other.

BEFORE CLOSING Speak up for yourself. People like me because I communicate, I don’t play games, I do my work, and I don’t stick around for “conversations that has nothing to do with me”. Know your worth. Don’t let people talk to you any kind of way. Snapping fingers and making you feel like, ((((in Jada’s case)))) if you don’t hurry up and ask the question.. THEN YOU WONT HAVE THE CHANCE TO GET YOUR ANSWER. UM CUSE ME…GURL watch out! (( move to the side))

I AM La’Crease… (((I don’t have to do anything else!)))

My Thoughts On The #Oscars/BLOG

trut1

For the last few years I have come to enjoy the Oscars. I don’t watch it just to see people of color, but I watch it to see great movies win awards. When I was a young gurl, my parents would take us to the movies every weekend! Story telling in movies go hand in hand with the love I have for reading, and writing.

When Jada Pinkett- Smith asked for people of color to boycott the Oscars, I thought to myself is that because her husband wasn’t nominated for his role in Concussion? I found that funny because, had he been nominated or even won, she would have never went publicly with her video. Ever since I saw him in Ali on Christmas Day, I felt that the only movie of his I would ever see again would be Bad Boys, Independence Day, or movies that has to do with the survival of others. I’m just not feeling his work anymore.

But here is MY thing. Will and Jada sit among these people, have dinner, and let it be known… who their best friends are. Where is your influence? My ONLY job concerning this is to go in my purse and pull out money to see the work. This is how their pockets are lined… from the money that I and other like minded people give. Now, do I mind standing with others to make changes in life where it is due? NOPE… But I’m not going to do anything extra when Will and Jada laugh, haha and hehe, with these same people they can’t seem to influence. They’re only mad because their friends, people they sit around are winning awards for their work, and they now feel some kinda way, because they arent looked at in the same light. Instead of them making movies and enjoying their own work, they want pats on the back for it. Noooo, you won’t always get that. Be happy and proud of YOUR OWN work, stop waiting for these OSCAR FOLKS to pass out your AMEN.

Stop running and sitting with these people who look at you side ways. They walk right up pass your seat, and pick up their Oscars. That’s not my problem… that’s yours. Stop running up behind them thinking you and your husband is on the same level.. because as you see, you’re not. Now let me say this. Are your Hollywood friends the one in charge of the voting. NO… I KNOW THAT. But stop showing them that you are upset because you’re not getting your fair share, and they are. Be mad at how the voting goes. Use your influence! Don’t just sit among the rich and famous, but make what you feel is wrong…. right! I’ve done my part, and that’s go see the movies opening weekend. I’m done, my legs are crossed and comfy! You do the FOOT WORK!

I AM La’Crease and I don’t have to do anything else!

My Cousin killed in a Atlanta Car Crash/BLOG

My cousin Cordel was killed in a car accident in Atlanta this past weekend.He was one of the 3 people killed on I-75

Three men died early Saturday morning when the driver lost control of their car and flipped onto I-75 in Midtown Atlanta, closing the freeway for hours.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the men as Esu Manzano, 36; Adam Bailey, 33; and Cordel Fowler, 24, all of the metro Atlanta area.

As you know in my post I’m always talking about family. He’s the middle son of my FIRST AND OLDEST COUSIN (( and she always lets us know she’s the oldest too :))) Rene.

He is the very first cousin ( 1st and 2nd) to pass away in our family on my dad’s side. We are very blessed to have a huge family and all still alive. I am so sad for my cousin ( Rene) her husband and Cordel’s siblings.

Here is the story

Conversations with The Lord/BLOG

Happy New Year!

One of my prayers is to have more conversations with The Lord. Sometimes we get tied up in our own lives and we forget to have that special time with HIM.

Since I was a young gurl, I’ve always heard the voice of the Lord. I’m always amazed at the things he tells me about PEOPLE and SITUATIONS ahead of time. A lot of times I don’t understand why he tells me things, but as time passes… I ALWAYS GET IT! That alone blows my mind.

A few days ago, the cable in my building and surrounding areas went out for hours. So, I called the cable company to find out how long would it be before its restored. After holding on FOREVER, I was okay with the time frame that was told to me. That evening it was restored.

No more than 5 hours of being restored, it went off again while I was watching Tiny House around 1:20 am. I don’t watch TV much at all, so when I do turn it on, I want to watch it. I decided to go to sleep. The next day it still wasn’t on, so I decided to chat with a LIVE online representative about the service. He told me that they were having problems and that it would be restored in a few more hours. It was restored an hour earlier than predicted.

The next day, I was going through some movies and decided to watch King of Kings, when the Lord spoke to me. He said “La’Crease, your cable is going out again, but after that, it’ll be on for good.” His voice was so clear! I said.. Oh okay, so its going out again? He said yes, then once its restored it’ll be on for good.

I took a nap that evening before work and when I woke up to get dressed, even though my TV stays off, I notice the lights on the cable box was OFF again!!!! I went on to work, but when I got in around 8 am.. it was still off. Now I’m frustrated because this has never happened before. This time when I called I told them that I wanted a refund for War Room a movie which I rented and didn’t get a chance to see it for a second time before it expired, and also a credit for the NOW 2 days it was off. I was DONE! Forgetting everything God had spoken to me. What really had me on fire was when she said.. after we discuss the nature of my call, that she was going to introduce me to a better package than the one I have. Before I knew it I said.. ” I can’t even see and enjoy the package I do have!!!” I said maam, my cable has been in and out for 3 days!!! Oh she felt my wrath! She told me that my cable would be restored in a few hours. Just before hanging up, I got so irritated with the issue, that I said to her…..Thank you, you’ve been real helpful, and hung up in her face while she was still talking. I felt bad because that’s not me anymore to hang up on people, and to get that upset over something that I have no control over and surely not her. So, as I was watching a Christian movie, I really felt convicted after thinking about it.

After I had calmed down… God said to me.. La’Crease why did you call Comcast? I said because I’m tired of my cable going out. He said BUT.. didn’t I tell you that your service was going to go out and be restored again for good? I said yes. He said then why did you leave that woman wounded like that? OH MY GOODNESS I FELT SO BAD. OH THE GUILT. I could actually VISION the woman feeling some type of way after hanging up on her. I can VISION how I made her feel. I can VISION her talking trying to help ME, but feeling low after hanging up on her. I can VISION her telling family and coworkers how rude I was to her.

I shouldn’t have never called. God told me what was going to happen. I don’t know what kind of day that lady was having. She could have lost her mom or anyone. She could have been trying to have a good day after the anniversary of her daughters death or anything… I DON’T KNOW. WE NEVER KNOW WHAT THE NEXT PERSON IS GOING THROUGH! Even though I ‘m making up these scenarios , God told me about my cable, and I spoke to this woman like it was her fault. I repented. I felt so bad afterwards. You can’t do people wrong! God does not like that, and will punish you for it. I wish that I could talk to her again to apologize for the way I spoke to her. She was nice to me, and I was so mean. My cable was on in 12 hours, didn’t matter to me anymore, I just wanted to make what I did wrong-RIGHT!. I haven’t had any problems out of my cable since.. just like THE LORD SAID! I’m starting to think my cable was off just so that I could LEARN THIS LESSON OF HOW TO TREAT OTHERS… ESPECIALLY when I have DIRECT CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM. SMH @MYSELF. LESSON LEARNED!

I AM La’Crease ((I don’t have to do ANYTHING else))

Happy Holidays/Christmas Love/Blog

Happy Holidays!!!

I had a wonderful time with family and friends yesterday! I love taking photos and videos. You best believe I snapped till I dropped. LOL

I asked myself as I sat quietly watching everyone laugh, talk, eat and drink what is it about THIS family that I love so much? Its the fact that WE TRULY LOVE EACH OTHER. We are honest with each other, we COMMUNICATE well with each other. We are THERE ((Thank you Jesus))… for each other. My nieces and nephews RESPECT us, even though they’re adults, they do not curse in front of us at all. We ALL GREET with hugs and kisses! We laugh a lot and talk junk. My siblings and I DO NOT CALL EACH OTHER AND TALK ABOUT THE OTHER.. NO NO NO NO NO NO EVER!!! We have arguments and debates, but we do not FIST FIGHT, HIT, OR EVER, EVER, EVER get personal. We stay on the subject and after communicating our differences, we MAKE UP ON THE SPOT.. saying “I love you”.

We are NOT a perfect family, and there is always room to grow. Then I asked myself, what are some of the things in this family that we can IMPROVE on?

Getting together MORE OFTEN. I think that we should see each other more. We have personal inbox messages for SIBLINGS ONLY, MOM and all of her kids, and we also have one called SISTERS. That’s how we communicate, and that we do daily. We love this, because its a INSTANT way to stay connected. Do we talk on the phone? Yes we do, but we all love the instant message/inbox/FB so that’s how we stay connected.

I also wish that when we have family dinners and gatherings, that the “kids”.. my grown 20 something year old nieces and nephews (( and my daughter)) would come more often to the functions. They come, but of course as a mom and aunt, I want them at ALL THE FAMILY FUNCTIONS. LOL But I do understand that they have lives, cars, and jobs and that they have friends to visit as well. My mom and dad are the happiest when ALL of THEIR KIDS, and our kids (( their grandkids)) are all under one roof. This Christmas it happened! Everyone was happy.

Here are a few family photos I took Friday December 25, 2015 Christmas Day!
