Ummmm cuse meeeeeeeeeee! /BLOG

When it comes to business I have to really be on my game. Sometimes you can appear friendly, too friendly, not aggressive on the surface but when it comes to business I am a beast and I know it.

In business you have to always  discuss facts and stay on the point. Because once you get off the point the other person can drive your story all over the place. Not gon happen with me. Sometimes I hate to go there because I can be very expressive in the face, because I’m always  a really nice person. I can come off as very aggressive and I don’t mean to be that way. But I find out that I let things build up and when its time to discuss it there’s no changing my mind. And I don’t if that’s a good thing.

I  Live downtown Detroit and there are a lot of new developments going on in the city. Many people are leaving the suburbs and moving to these downtown apartments which is causing the parking space to be an issue here.  In 2012 when I moved here you can park anywhere at any time inside of the gated parking lot and there was no problem. But now since the building is almost occupied which is 22 floors and 18 apartments there is no space to park. When I come home at 3 AM  I have to pray before I even get here to find a space. They tell us to park across the street which is a Hell to the NAW NAW and definitely not the back where I can’t see my car. I had my van stolen from here a few months after I moved in, and I wish I would park anywhere else except in the gate or in front of the building. They have extra security here and that’s perfect.

This morning when I got home I parked in front of the building along with seven other vehicles.  I went down this morning to run an errand ((( and to move the car))) security asked me about it and I told him there is no room in the parking lot to park anymore I will not park across the street  or in the back of the building. I will not have my car stolen like my Town & Country.He was here when it was stolen because he did the investigation on it. So he knew my frustrations, and understood. But not before I went there.

Just then the property manager came in saying that it was OK because of the issue. I really hated I had to go there but I had to let them know  there was no way I was parking in the back or across the street. Thing was when I said that my van was stolen, people looked at me like WHAT???? YOUR VAN WAS STOLEN FROM HERE? OOO weee I bet security or management wont go there with me again. They shut that conversation down in front of folks REAL QUICK!!! LOL

Now I tried to be nice about it, didn’t want to alarm others in the building, but this is the 3rd time I’ve been asked about my parking. My thing is this, you jammed packed this building knowing full well there is not enough parking for all of these people, then I will let it be known, WHERE I WONT BE PARKING AND WHY. I pay rent here and its NOT CHEAP! Don’t ask me to park across the street, where if something happen off the property they’ll say, “Well that’s not our property.” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I made it short and to the point. I don’t do all that 3 minute talking especially when I’m right. Make some parking space around here….. now that’s doing business. All they care about is fulling up the apartments…. AND I AINT MAD AT THEM… BUT DON’T TELL ME TO PARK ACROSS THE STREET. GOT ME MESSED UP! The new people don’t know any better..

La’ Crease does! 🙂

MY story of FORGIVENESS-RAPE/PART 1/BLOG

perfect365 (3)

Oct 22, 2014 I received an inbox from my ex boyfriend asking me to call him. When I first saw his message my heart started beating fast because of what happened 30 years ago. His name alone bought back memories of that night in August a month before my 18th birthday.  I was hesitate at first, but a part of me wanted and needed to talk to him. I wanted and needed answers. I ignored his messages until I had a day to think about it.

I decided to respond and leave him my number to call me. My heart was beating so fast hearing his voice over the phone, it sorta paralyzed me, but the desire to know answers to my questions made me feel much better as I got comfortable listening to the humbleness in his voice. I listened to him talk about how he loves his now grown children and more especially his grand kids. We talked about God and how being out of jail has really changed his life. He has 2 businesses and is doing very well for himself. He invited me to his job to see him, because it had been so long since we’ve seen each other. And even though it would be a huge step for me…. I went. I prayed about it, and decided that I would go and see him.

When I first walked in, my heart was beating so fast. I wondered if I made the right choice in doing this, but knew I needed answers or I may not ever get them. When I walked into the door, we spotted each other right off. He came over to me, in the humblest Spirit I’ve ever known from him, and gave me a long warm hug and kiss on the cheek. I couldn’t help but see the God in him. He was a changed man, a different person than we were 30 years ago. Still good looking, standing 6’3 and still funny as ever. I loved this man dearly once upon a time. He was my first LOVE and first boyfriend.

As we walked around and talked, he introduced me to his staff. He told them that I was his gurlfriend 30 years ago, and that we hadn’t seen each other in years. They told me how pretty and sweet I was, and how they really loved him. I can tell that he was very nervous, and so was I. But again…. it was something that I had to do. We talked about our families ((( he knows my family and friends, and I know all of his))) and our kids. After about 45 minutes I told him that I had to go, which he didn’t want me to, but I had to get alone to regroup my thoughts. I promised that I would come to see him again soon. He walked me to my car, we hugged and said our goodbyes. As I was driving, I thought about how proud of myself I was. This was a huge step for me, something I could have NEVER EVER done without God. Our meet up was the start of answers for me.

Part 2 tomorrow!

Wedding Vendors/BLOG

IMG_0315

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!

A Wedding and A LIE! /BLOG

joyce mI 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 🙂

Wedding Planning-Things I learned/BLOG

IMG_0512

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

Meet the Gilberts /Blog

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!

Slight Vent

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.

Women do your part too/BLOG

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!

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