Last night I was lying in the bed and thought back on the Wedding, and what I’ve learned so far. I found out how important the vendors are who come in to set up the cake table, linen, chairs, the decorations, and the candy table.
I arrived at the venue to find the cook in the kitchen and the linen company there to set up the tables and chairs. But as time went on, (( not to late)) I wondered where was Sherry the cupcake lady. I called her, and even though she was packing up her truck, she told me that she lost her stepfather the night before and wasn’t taking it to well along with her sister. I told her how sorry I was, and for her to take her time. We talked several more minutes, and then we hung up.
When she arrived, I opened the door for her because she had a lot to set up. When she was almost done, she said to me, you were right on time this morning when you called me. I was feeling down, and God sent you to talk to me. She said I really needed that because of what I’m going through. It made me realize that you really have to be careful of what you say to people, you never know what they’re going through. I was being my normal self, never knowing what she was going on with her. I hear of a lot of wedding planners who are bossy and plain mean. I don’t want to be that way, I want to build a relationship with these vendors so that I can work with them for future weddings. It was also a pleasure to meet the linen vendors too. As they were leaving they gave me hugs saying how pleasant and sweet I was. I’m saying to myself.. what kind of wedding planners are out there being mean?? I’ve made me some business partners and my list of vendors will continue to GROW! 🙂
Remember your personality will take you places you never dreamed of going! Thank you Jesus for that gift 🙂
BE NICE AND BE BLESSED!

I had a phone call conversation with my Bride, and I was sharing with her some things about her wedding. How she may sometimes want to take to Facebook to vent about behind the scenes drama unfolding. I told her that’s a HUGE NO-NO. That’s one thing that I totally dislike, is when someone take to their FB, Twitter or Instagram to vent about people they are/have dealt with. Its true during a wedding things get heated and people need to vent, but when the wedding is over, and the anger is gone…. you can’t take that stuff back. People are always in their feelings, and sometimes you can say too much to make those involved completely turned off. When people don’t know both sides of a story, they tend to COMMENT ON STUFF THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT, and its sickening reading those messages.
Which brings me to this…… someone I LOVE AND ADMIRE sent me a message saying that they are forgiving and releasing me. I never knew this person was having ill feelings towards me. So when they told me the reason, it WASN’T EVEN TRUE. JESUS is my WITNESS to that! Father God tell this gurl yourself, its not true. It just reminds me what NO COMMUNICATION will do to a friendship, it will have you believing something that never happened, isn’t true, and a LIE! This person told me “you don’t have to explain to me the dynamics of you and ******** friendship.” And in my CHRISTIAN mind… I’m saying.. yes I DO need to explain.. BECAUSE ITS NOT TRUE!!! I’m saying to myself LORD JESUS,..,.. please tell this gurl the truth. LOL LOL Of course its not funny to her, but Satan will have you believing some of anything. And have folk MAD FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS!
Well as for me… I HAVE A WEDDING to plan, a GRADUATION 2016.. MY 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND MY COWORKERS 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. I can’t /WON’T find the energy to pause for this issue.
Be Blessed 🙂

So yes, I did a Wedding on Saturday and it was really a joy. Well worth the EXPERIENCE! I really enjoyed myself and learned a whole lot.. about people, how important it is to communicate, and patience.
I learned early on that you have to have some tough skin doing this job dealing with lots of different personalities. Because if you don’t you’ll find yourself throwing up the DEUCE sign to your Bride and The Wedding! LOL The most important thing to ME.. IS COMMUNICATION. Sometimes I think that I am too……… DIRECT. I want to be this way, but at the same time not overwhelming. Sometimes people feel that just because they don’t have the answer to the questions that its a wrong thing. Its for you to think about it/consider it… if you don’t. Trust me the questions that I ask EARLY… will be the same ones you’ll HAVE TO face LATER.
When planning a Wedding its very important for the planner to know EVERYTHING. I don’t like being in position not knowing the answers. I want to be the BRIDES EYES AND EARS. I don’t ever want to call a Bride when she’s getting dressed to ask simple questions that I should know… unless it something that came up and I need a second opinion about it. This is why I ask a lot of questions through out the planning process. I can see so clearly the day of a Wedding. I can see the set up, the guest, the venue, I can see it all and inside of what I see, I CAN SEE TINY DETAILS that need ATTENTION. When I feed the Homeless for Thanksgiving… we have fed up to 160 plus people. I know my vision and what I want to do. I know the menu and what all goes into a dish. For example.. If I make string beans, I want some kind of meat and potatoes ((( NO EXCEPTIONS))) to go in them. It has to be seasoned very well. I will never leave the store without these things going into my food. Now if you are doing the cooking yourself (( paying someone )) and I know your menu I will make sure you have these things for the cook, even if its more money. We want it cooked right, no half stepping. This is YOUR NAME and the COOKS name on the line. That was something that I learned to make sure I KNOW THE MENU.. SO THAT I CAN MAKE SURE THE BRIDE HAS PURCHASED EVERYTHING THAT IT TAKES TO GO INTO THAT DISH.
If the Bride has found vendors on her own, I want to know their names, company, and what time will they arrive at the venue. THIS IS IMPORTANT. I don’t want to open the door and look at them like……. “WHO ARE YOU?” Noooo, not La’Crease Walker. I want to have that look as if my eyes say……. ” I was expecting you!”
I have so much more to write about tomorrow. But again.. I enjoyed myself at Rana’s & Calvin’s Wedding, and I’m looking forward to Tosha and Jimel 7/16/16

Hey Family!!!
The Wedding!! 💕💍It was beautiful!! I thought I would be nervous,😳 but I wasn’t at all.😄 Maybe because I’m a people person. One thing I LOVE about myself, is the fact that I CAN WORK A ROOM!!!💪🏽 I worked that 100 plus guest room. LOL I told myself that if I can handle the stress of this wedding, it would let me know it this is for me or not. ITS FOR ME!🙎🏼 I’m still learning👀. I will always listen to learn. I ask my friends that were there how did I do? They told me that I did a great job, and told me a few things that I did out of order of a wedding. For example when the Wedding Party returned from taking photos, the BRIDE AND GROOM was to walk in first. Wow…. and that’s something I know!!! They walked in on WIFEY BY NEXT!! Little mistakes like that I don’t ever want to make again.😜
Other than that, it worked out very well. Today, I have started on another Wedding to take place Saturday, July 16, 2016. Yesterday I got a call to do a 2016 GRADUATION! So, I’m excited about that!🎁🎀
Well without further due… Here are the photos of Calvin and Rana Gilbert!!! BEAUTIFUL!
Hey family
Just laying here in bed thinking. The wedding 💍💍is Saturday actually tomorrow and I have to get my hair done eyelashes my nails and I’ll be glad when this is over so that I can start my next project . I also haven’t been able to sleep when I get off work through the night I usually come home and catch up on my shows that I DVR and I usually get to sleep maybe about seven I get up at 8:30 to run errands every Monday through Friday and then I sleep until 430 5:00 PM and then I’m ready to start my night over again at work. 😎
I’m also just laying here thinking about things that God gives me to see ahead of time. And no matter what I always tried to warn the person before hand because I can see these things. And so when they come to pass the same people come to me to vent or they want me to listen or whatever the reason is And I feel so bad because I don’t have the patience to listen to the vent. I feel bad these things happened to them because they have to face the consequences. And there’s nothing I can do. So my prayer is God give me the patience to be able to listen when these people come back and need to talk because I feel kind of bad when I don’t want to listen to it. I am not perfect and I want someone to listen to me as well so I’m asking you to help me in this area because when you reveal things to me and it come to pass it makes me feel some type of way.😳
OK I don’t want to start rambling is 3:47 AM and I really need to be sleep. So good night I love you all will post photos of the wedding Saturday tonight Sunday morning.

She’s ready for me now, told her that when this one is over, we can get started. I learned so much so far from this wedding with the help of my friend Gloria. Im sooooooooooo glad that I have a open heart to LEARN and not act like I know everything,,, because I don’t! I’m just soaking it all up. I have a lot to share for other brides to be, as soon as I can catch my breath!!! Its funny how you look at the ways you can grow AND YOU DO IT!!! I REALLY LEARNED A LOT. Thank you Jesus. We’ll, I just finished up the guest list, and also the wedding day check list for my Bride. Its 3:52 am and I have one more thing to do before bed. I hope to write again soon, but this week is looking soooooooooooooooooooooooo busy!!! Did I mention that I’ve started writing a Chapter a day for my book too. YESSSSSS… Its going to be a BLESSING TO WOMEN EVERYWHERE! Once I write on a topic… I get it in!!!! It spills out of my head so quickly.
Alright gotta go!

Last night I wrote about controlling men. https://lacreasewalker.com/2015/09/08/men-control-in-different-waysblog/
To the women. Do your part in the relationship to balance your man. If your man is on 10, its your job as his woman to bring the balance and make sure he gets back to 1. Its pitifully and sad to see couples, especially husbands and wives both on 10 and no one can leave the madness for a few seconds in their minds to calm the other down. That’s a lack of self control and one day, it’s gonna catch up with them both. Either on each other, or someone else.
Women set the atmosphere for the home. When a woman wakes up, she makes breakfast, sees her husband off, the kids, and then she goes on with her daily life. I use to love when my mom wake up in a good mood, that meant it was going to be a good day for school and a even better one when I got home. When she was in a bad mood, we would stay away from her the whole day. We literally got up and looked at her face in the morning before we started our day to see what type of day it would be. LOL She had no idea until we got grown how her mood effected us.
When my daughter was growing up I tried my best to get up in a good mood saying to her “Good Morning Princess”, “Good Morning boo”. Asking her how did she sleep? How she felt? We never had attitudes or that ” I woke up on the wrong side of the bed MESS!” Being quiet usually let the other person know, that they’re just trying to get their minds right to start the day. But NEVER with an attitude, yelling or twisted mean looking faces. And we RESPECTED that space.
Women, know in your mind that you set the atmosphere in the home. Yes, your husband is the man, and the head…… but you set the atmosphere. The family always acts according to how your mood is in the morning. Smiling, speaking with a calm tone of voice, but at the same time being direct in your communication. I promise you, your hubby will be happy, and your kids will have a WONDERFUL DAY!

To WOMEN who are in controlling RELATIONSHIPS…. RUN RUN RUN!!!
You don’t have to put up with that mess. If a man can’t meet half way and learn to LISTEN and COMPROMISE… then there is no reason to be with him. Men control in different ways. If you’re not working and living in his home, get a JOB. Find a hobby if he doesn’t want you to work. Do something that you enjoy doing. DO NOT LOSE YOURSELF IN A MAN. Make sure you have friends. Make sure you spend time with your FAMILY MEMBERS. Make time to be alone to regroup your mind, even if you have to TAKE YOURSELF TO DINNER. If you’re a woman with a career,and make your own money, but also have a man who is controlling…. PAY ATTENTION to what he controls you with since its not money. Does he talk about your weight? Your face, lips, thighs, butt, breast, past issues that you’re trying to put behind? Is he jealous of the time you spend with your SISTERS and MOTHER? What does he have to say about your closes friends whom you love dearly? Does he constantly ask you about OLD BOYFRIENDS and if you’re still in contact with him?
Pay attention to all the signs. Women… GET YOUR LIFE…. please don’t lose it to a controlling boyfriend or HUSBAND.

Sitting here listening to some music.. chilling. Music always come in and soothes out the atmosphere. I’ve been writing, and I’m proud of myself. I must get this book completed, there is so much going on, so much to say, so much to share with people. I hope to change lives with my experiences and life lessons.
I can’t believe that my Birthday is in 2 days. I’ll be 48. Thank you Jesus!!! The same day my baby will be 29. I really have no plans, probably go to my family house and have ice cream and cake. Nothing big. I always said that when I turn 50 that I was going to throw myself a Birthday Party. The last time I had a party, I was a kid, and I was between 3-6. I remember that day so clear. So this will be so new to me. I HATE ATTENTION…. that’s why I never had parties through the years. I hope that I’ll be able to stand all the attention on me. Nesha will be there with me too, so that will help me. Every year on our BD, she says to me.. “Momma please don’t back out of giving yourself a 50th party”. LOL It feels funny to even be writing about it now, I don’t even like talking about it. Its going to be nice seeing all my family and friends in one place.
I deleted a whole paragraph because I am no longer angry.. I took it down.
