Proud of ME……Cree’s Blog Entry

note to breatheWow, I’m writing another day. So proud of myself, learning to be consistent in things. I had a great planned day. I had a headache earlier, just going through something’s right now. After watching TD Jakes “In the mix” sermon 8/18/2013….. God gave me answers to what happened to me on Friday of last week. Nothing bad, but it happened and there is nothing I can do about it.

Anywayyyyyyy… LOL I was watching the Season Premiere of Basketball Wives tonight. As I was listening to Evelyn tell her story about her and Chad, I couldn’t help but think about her ANGER issues. How quick she was to throw a glass in someone’s face, how she smacked folks, and threw drinks. She is what I called a Basketball Wives Bully. And I’m not in NO WAY saying that she got what she DESERVED when she was head butted by her husband. No, no, no, way am I saying that. But I am saying that you get what you put out there. The part that she seem not to get is that it came back to her with a MAN…. HER HUSBAND whom she had only been married to a little over a month. This wasn’t even a PRIVATE matter, it was PUBLIC one….. everyone heard about her story. Worst than anything she has ever done to anyone. She said that she felt that everyone was saying that she got what she deserved. Can you imagine all the people she’s fell out with, laughing, talking, and happy to see her this way? Oh……..this is pay back for many people.

I hope that she sees the bigger picture here. She cried a lot, and I really felt bad for her. But she has to understand what she did to others ** terrorized* folks, she got back in a different FORM. That’s what she wasn’t expecting. You can’t go around bullying people, and think you’re going to go off and live this happy RICH LAVISH life. If she doesn’t get the bigger picture…..she’s going to find herself angrier, and in more trouble than this time. I really hope that her friends, and her time with Iyanla has helped….. we shall see. I’m routing for ya gurl.

I know I need to be in bed….. I need to take my mom to see The Butler…. she doesn’t know I’ve already seen it…. I don’t think I could tell her.

Another day and I’m doing good with my ANGER ISSUES. I’m working hard to get passed this one. I’m conscience of my thought pattern on what triggers me. I have to share this real quick funny story. When I was on my 3rd day of this, (((God is my teacher))) my daughter wanted Subway before she went home, and just next door was Jets Pizza.

I ordered pizza but stayed in the van until 15 minutes was up. Well after she got her subway, I somehow missed when she walked over to Jets to see if my pizza was ready. So after 15 minutes , I walked in and there she was. She had paid for my food and everything. When I asked her was it ready, she said No. I was shocked because it was well over 20 minutes. I went to the counter and asked the lady was a pizza for Walker ready? She looked over at the one pizza that was “waiting for its owner”, and said No….. just a few more minutes. So, I’m like okay…. before I turned around to chat with my daughter….I heard God loud and clear when he said …..”LaCrease that’s your pizza up there.” I looked over there and said in my mind ” No God, she said it wasn’t mine. LOL He said yes… that’s your pizza. I knew I heard his voice… I kept saying… No, the lady said it wasn’t ready. I knew it was, but I just didn’t want to believe it, because I could feel my heat gauge moving….. I’m about to RAISE THE ROOF! My daughter didn’t know what I was thinking, but my facial expression had totally change, she thought I was getting mad because it was taking so long. She said momma, I’m going back to the van and started smiling like…..OH BOY.

So, I’m standing there at the counter, when the lady calls 2 other people and my food was ordered before theirs. I said ummmmmm excuse me (((( in my business voice))))) to the same lady WHO TOLD ME NO MY PIZZA WASNT READY……I see that their pizza is ready…. can you please check to see if that pizza up there is mines. She said sure, went back and picked up the same pizza SHE TOLD ME NO to…. when she read the paper, and looked up at me…. I knew it WAS mines…she said ” Maam I am so sorry”. We can make you another one. I just stared at her a good 2 minutes between her handling me the pizza, and me actually grabbing it to leave. I was so MADD.

As I’m walking to the van… God is asking me…. Why are you mad? I said because my pizza was up there ALL THAT TIME. He said… but didn’t I tell you that was your pizza the moment you walked in? I said yess… but.. He said then why are you SO ANGRY? Do you think she did it on purpose? I said no… because she doesn’t know me. This was only a few weeks ago, I enjoy the questions God ask me to get to my reasons…. and when I do… its not even worth being angry. I went home and tore that pizza up!!! LOL I think that he likes to sit back with his arms crossed watching to see what I’m going to do. I was proud of myself, I felt him looking over my shoulders. Whew the test I’ve had…..its worth it, because I no longer want to be this way… NO MORE!!!! NO MORE… NO MORE NO MORE!!! ((((smiling)))) And I’m going to write about it every week to keep me on track.

My Birthday is coming up Sep 3…. I’ll be 46. Yes!

Be Blessed

Cree’s Ramblings….Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageHey,
 
 
 
Soooooo, I’m trying to get in the habit of writing daily. When you live alone you really don’t talk that much. LOL I don’t like talking on the phone, so writing is my new friend.
 
 
 
When I get in my quiet moods, I like to watch house hunters it really soothes and calms me all the way down. The part that bothers me is that the women always debate the men when it comes to them having a “man cave” or a room where they can go and “do them”. I’m a woman and when I’m married, I want my own room where I can read, think, watch my favorite shows too. I see so many women on this show who really don’t want their men to have their own special room. Why is that? Are they afraid that they may go to their men cave and never come out? LOL Today this man wanted a pool table room, he had to remind her about 5 times on the 30 minute program… then she said “I guess you can have a room”. *rolls my eyes at her*
 
 
 
Men love to shop and have nice clothes, but the women make a big deal over that too. They want the man to have the smallest closet. I know we have our boots, shoes, coats and all these purses and everything, but really women need to stop being so funny acting when it comes to men having space for their favorite things when buying a new house. Then when they divorce, she has to find a smaller place anyway. WOW WOMEN REALLY?
 
 
 
Guess what? I’ve been doing soooooo good when it comes to my ANGER. If you haven’t read my blog entries on ANGER. I was watching Iyanla Fix My Life and realized that my anger stems from several things. Bullying, watching people be mean to others, people talking to others all kinds of ways, mostly social issues. I felt that my dad was a bully to me, because I was different, and saw a lot of his manipulating ways early on. As I got older, I’ve always felt like a “misfit” .Even though I had a lot of friends, I didn’t always run with them. I’m the kind of person that would talk to you everyday, and not share with you the fact that I’m planning a women’s gathering, you would get the invite the same day as the others. Leaving you asking me…… why didn’t you tell me about it, I just talked with you this morning? I’m such a behind the scenes person who keep stuff to myself. This has always made me different the way I do things and set myself apart.
 
 
 
But anyway, getting back….As I was watching the first scenes of Lee Daniels The Butler… I felt anger coming on, my legs get to jumping, and while I’m in the middle of the anger, I ask myself what part of the anger is bothering me. And in soooooo many of my anger moments, its always because someone is mistreating someone, or intimidating them in some kinda way. I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thing that’s helping me is when I allow God to ask me in the middle of my outbreak… ” WHAT ARE YOU FEELING”? After I answer the question, immediately I feel better, because I have identified with my problem/issue. Hopefully someday I can help others to get over their issue of ANGER… Wow for that to happen… I would be in a GREAT PLACE. YESSS!!!!
 
 
 
I have a friend who has been sharing some things with me, and when they shared them with me, I wasn’t getting it. There are so many things they said… that I get now. Like I really get it. We have a strange friendship but it works.
 
 
 
Be Blessed

Great Movie….. Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI went to the movies today to see The Butler. That was a GREAT movie, so inspiring, so uplifting. My heat gauge was a little high in the beginning, but it went way down. LOL Oprah did a GOOD JOB…. it was good to see her on the screen. She was funny, fast, and so real life. She stole the show. Forrest Whitaker , I just love him, and Jane Fonda looked just like Nancy Reagan. I’m going to stop here, in case people haven’t seen it yet.. OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO GOOD.
 
I’m happy that Lee Daniels used his name in front of this movie. People get mad and offended when filmmaker do that. But it was a time when black people couldn’t even be on their own ALBUM COVER. I hope David Talbert do the same in “Baggage Claim”.
 

 

 

 

Okay, was going to chit chat…. but I am so sleepy, guess I have to watch Sweetie Pies and Fix my Life tomorrow…. I’m cross sided.. (((look at my eye.. told yall)))

Relationship Choices….Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI was talking to my Male BFF and he was telling me about his relationship with his on and off again gurlfriend of 8 years. He introduced me to her soon as they met, and I really like her a lot. She’s a very nice gurl. She in boxed me yesterday, told me that he told her that we had a conversation about their relationship. She asked me for some advice. Of course he called me the next day asking what advice did I give her. LOL * and you know I told him everything*
 
 
I love my Male BFF, but baby when I say he’s selfish….. BELIEVE it. He has a great job as a truck driver, he LOVES his kids, was married when he had them * still not divorced* has his own place, doing very good. As long as I’ve been knowing him, he’s never had an attitude, yes he gets angry, but it only last as long as he tells the story. He’s a great person. But he’s selfish, and that’s tearing their relationship apart. I told her when she first met him this is his only issue, anything else is workable.
 
 
She’s fed up with his selfishness, and he’s fed up with her attitude. Her attitude comes from him being selfish. My advice to her was, and I want every person reading this to get it……at some point in your life, you cannot keep expecting someone to change when they have shown you * in this case 8 years* who they are in this area. This is who he is. Maybe he doesn’t see it, maybe he doesn’t agree with it, maybe he feels that since he’s a good person in all other areas * he is* that this is the one area he doesn’t want to compromise in. I told her that she CANNOT go on breaking it off, then getting together again. At some point, this gets tiring. I told her that she cannot expect for him to make a decision on what to do about their relationship… SHE HAS TO DECIDE IF THIS IS THE MAN SHE WANTS TO BE WITH. Of course he’s going to call you for sex, of course he wants to see you, of course he wants to be around you,.. but you have to make a decision with your LIFE.
 
 
When I was with my daughters dad, I was always expecting him to SAY with his MOUTH…. that we are not together. We were still having sex, he would come over and be with us all day, he would help me out whenever I needed him, we did things as if we were a couple. But when he showed me in other areas of himself that bothered me, I thought…. I’m not feeling this, and when I told him about it, I always left it up to him to decide our next level. Mann… after I realize that he could “live like that with me” FOREVER and that he didn’t have to explain anything to me, it was for me to ((((FIGURE OUT)))) I was done with him.
 
 
He had me, other women, and everything else he had built. I always felt that communication was a way of expressing how you felt. Even if we were going to be together or not. But I realize that men don’t always express themselves, they kinda “hope” that women get it. I’m not the kind of person who gets (((subliminal))) messages either. I put an end to those kinds of people who does it, trying to figure out their mess, because they had insecurities, doubt and fears of relaying a message. Subliminal messages PISSES me off to no end. At age 46 I refuse to sit up with a pen and paper and try to decipher what you’re saying. I’M NOT DOING THAT… AT ALL PERIOD… I’m not praying over it, I’m not calling people to help me figure it out, I’m not pulling out books, not calling people with Doctrine Degrees, I’m not doing any of that. You have to tell me in writing or in person exactly what you mean. The reason why, is because that’s the language I speak to others. I like to express the truth. Best thing is… I have learned to say things in a way that people “get it”, and my tone of voice is shared in a way where they’re not offended. When people ask for my advice I don’t give them 20 minutes of talk, I say what I have to say, and get right to the point. You want the person to “get it”.
 
 
Getting back to my story. I told her that she has to make a choice. We are in our 40’s, we don’t have time to go be on again and off again in a relationship. You know what you want, what you need, and what you would and wont put up with. I said don’t sit up and wait on him to make the choice for you. If you’re not happy ((( they’re both not))) keep it moving. People are scared to keep it moving these days. They don’t want to be alone. They feel that if they have invested many years in a relationship, why give it up now, even though its not working out. Women has this bad. We have to know what we want up front, and if we are not getting that, we have to be able to move on. Its Okay. Never wait for any man, situation to knock you down, before you decide (((this is NOT working))))) for me. Know what you want….. and if you’re not getting it…… KEEP IT MOVING. (((in my favorite words….. THIS TRAIN IS MOVING)))

Temptation…….. Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageUmm…. sitting up here watching Tyler Perry’s Temptation. It’s causing me to think about my own self.
 
 
Yesterday I was talking to someone, ….we always talk. I guess I was feeling “some kinda way”, (((and didn’t know it))) in the middle of his conversation.. I started looking at his lips, and his body, and I guess my eyes started dilating. LOL AND HE SAW IT!!! He stopped and said… ” look at you lushing”. Just then I snapped out of it. I was actually in the middle of a mental movie. So EMBARRASSED. Its really something how men can see this in a woman, when we really don’t realize our eyes are telling our thoughts. This man has a gurlfriend, I don’t look at him that way. And even though he’s sexy and attractive, I could NEVER see myself with him, in any kind of way. But my point is…. we have to be careful not to act on this “some kinda way” emotions. I’m glad he caught me, cause I probably would have been GONE!!!! LOL LOL
 
 
 
He said you have some pretty eyes, when a man look into your eyes he can never get away with LYING… because you give good eye contact. So true. But see he does too, and that’s why he was able to stop my thoughts. Whew….be careful ladies and men…. when your mind get to wondering, you can end up in a sexual relationship.. when you know good and full well…. its not suppose to be that way. Watch yourself, and pay attention to the conversation and not the body. Don’t find yourself in trouble, by having a wondering eye.
 
 
Be Blessed

I remember * in my 30’s* Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI remember standing around at work talking to coworkers about the men in our lives, when I came to the COMPLETE conclusion that I was done *I had been practicing it for 2 years prior * having sex until I was married. I was fed up with listening to stories day after day, and no one was being proposed too, no one was getting married, no one was in a serious relationship. We were just women fulfilling our sexual desires and thoughts, without a husband in site. That day it hit me, I was done….. no SEX until marriage. And its been that way for 12 years. And I’m loving it!

 

 

 

I remember sitting in a Coney Island drive thru with my sister at 2 am in the morning. I had left my then 13 year old daughter at home sleep. When a man walked up on my driver side of the car, put a shot gun up to my head and robbed me. Once the car in front of me realize what was happening, they left, by me being so close to that car, I didn’t have the room to pull off. Thank God my sister had her wallet and threw it out of the window, he picked it up took off walking and we took off in the car. There was absolutely nothing in that wallet, not one thing, had he opened it before he grabbed it off the ground… I probably wouldn’t be here. That day was a Blessing for me. It allowed me to see the world in a different light. I am completely aware of my surroundings AT ALL TIMES. I am smart about where I shop, get gas, park my car, neighborhoods I visit. When I’m walking in public, I’m completely quiet so that I am aware of all things around me. If I’m out of the house with my sisters or something, I may come in late…. but I make no stops. If I’m home and want something from the store, I won’t go out after 9 at all. I hate the fact that I was robbed, but God knew I was too trusting, and really this has been one of the greatest lessons to come from this awful incident.

 

 

 

I remember coming home from the grocery store with lots of popsicles to pass out to the children in the neighborhood. After they got use to me doing this, I enjoyed looking at their faces, when I KNEW they wanted to ask me did I have any in the freezer. LOL Kids are so funny

 

 

 

I remember finding myself being in Love with a man who went back to his wife. Since then I have remained Celibate. I promise God that I will never LOVE in that way again…. and I mean it. Today he is my BEST MALE FRIEND FOREVER. I love him in a different way, the way God meant for it to be in the first place. I was the one who helped him get over that marriage when it finally ended. Now they’re Best Friends.

I remember * in my 20’s* Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI remember standing in the kitchen washing dishes, fed up with the friends I had in my life at that time. I said out loud to God. I want one BFF. He said I’m your BFF… I said I know, but I’m talking about “down here”. Still years later, I felt as if I hurt his feelings, in my 40’s I’m declaring, he’s all I WANT AND EVER NEED. NO NEW FRIENDS!!!! LOL
 
 
 
I remember one night I was mad at my friend who lived downstairs from me because I found out she was sleeping with my daughters dad. So I called over my friends and we had a party!! We made all kinds of loud noises, turned up music, just to get a reaction from her. Well, she end up calling the POLICE on us, but when they knocked on the door. I KNEW THEM BOTH ( their friend was my EX boyfriend a POLICE OFFICER)… and they end up staying over with us. The gurl downstairs was MADDDDDDDDD 🙂
 
 
 
I remember one night, I had been drinking so much, that when I woke up that morning, my LANDLORD was standing over me. I was so drunk that I left my door unlocked he walked in wondering what happened. That changed my life and caused me to be more conscience of how I handle my drinking. I DONT DRINK TO THIS DAY.
 
 
 
I remember when my neighbor who was always borrowing….. knocked on my door and asked for sugar. I told him No, I didn’t have any, Nesha * my daughter* came out of nowhere and said “ma, yes we do its in the cabinet”… I remember staring at her for at least 5 minutes. LOL She never did that again.
 
 
 
I remember the time when me, my sisters and friend went to the movies, it was real dark, but I had to use the bathroom. As I came back, instead of me entering the row to get to my seat with my face facing the people, I entered with my behind facing their face. I made a mistake and stepped on the lady’s toes. She grabbed my waist because my behind was in her face, she opened her mouth to let out a scream but she couldn’t because it hurt so bad. LOL It takes me friend Gloria to talk about that, and to make the facial expression she made.LOL LOL I felt so bad, her and her husband got up and never came back. LOL
 
 
 
I remember I was working at a drug store. I started getting addicted to the MICHIGAN STATE LOTTERY scratch off tickets. I would go in to work everyday NOT PAY for the tickets, and start scratching them off. When I won, I would use that ticket to pay back all the tickets I scratched off. It wasn’t about money for me, I simply got addicted to the scratching. Took me a long time to stop, but in the process I got others addicted, they got caught and FIRED.
 
 
 
I remember loving several men in my life… but I truly LOVED Darrell.
 
 
 
I remember when we use to go to restaurants and we wanted extra on our food. We would get so irritated when they said “its going to be more money is that okay”? We knew extra cost…. MORE MONEY. We didn’t care we just wanted it!!! So one day, we went to get some barbeque, and my friend Gloria told the young man, she wanted extra sauce. He said okay its going to be extra… irritated to the max, she looked at him and said “okay, well give me $4.00 worth”! I was hollering laughing, he kept trying to get her attention to see if she was serious, but she never turned around. He kept looking to me to help him out, because he didn’t know how to measure $4.00 worth of sauce, and was scared he was going to misjudge it, but all I said was…. ” just give it to her”. Whenever we went back, he automatically gave us extra. LOL
 
 
 
I remember me and Gloria * my ride or die* was eating at Big Boys, we were talking having a good time . This older white man was sitting alone behind her. As we were laughing and talking, she heard him say ” Oh shut up and go back where you came from”. I didn’t hear him, but her facial expression changed, so I said “what’s wrong”? She said did you hear the man behind me. I said no, what he say? As she was telling me, he was looking right at me. He started saying any and everything you can think of that was racist. Before I knew it I started nutting up. I never got up, I just started going off, turning into a FULL BLOWN INCREDIBLE HULK!!. So after a while it was over. As we were paying for our food, the Police came in. We both looked around like “dang what happened in here”. What we missed, we were sitting down, we didn’t see anything”. So, we stood around waiting, TOTALLY FORGETTING ABOUT THE BRUSH WITH THE MAN EARLIER. We realized the manager was trying to stall us, Gloria saw him tilt his head to the police as if to say… these are the ladies right here. Just then the POLICE asked us… “what’s going on”. We like huh? Then we figured out that the manager called the POLICE on us. We were so mad and outdone. After we told them what happened, they were like okay….. have a good day ma’am. We TERRORIZED that manager * with eye contact* every time we went in there. LOL

I remember * as a young gurl* Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI remember one day my mom was making chicken and noodles. We loved chicken and noodles, but this was the day before pay day, and as she was stirring the pot a piece of the ceiling fell off into the pot. I remember that hurting my/our feelings so bad. We talk about that and laugh to this day.
 
 
 
I remember my dad use to get off work and take us out to dinner every Friday to Big Boys. We use to love it. I remember asking my parents could my friend go. But when they said No, I never realize or understood that if she went, it would be more money to pay, as it was already 6 of us.
 
 
 
I remember when it was time for report cards, my daddy use to be on it. My stomach hurt all the way to school and all the way home.
 
 
 
I remember when I made a pickle out of a cucumber, I was so geeked.
 
 
 
 
I remember we use to go to Belle Island and ride the giant slide. We had to climb 100 steps or better just for a 8 second ride. LOL LOL LOL *wow*
 
 
 
I remember when my parents use to go grocery shopping we had to stay in the house until they got home. By me being the oldest I didn’t want any trouble with them. But my sister couldn’t wait until they left so that she could go outside and play inside of those minutes they were gone. I was scared for her, because if she got caught it was over for me and her. She never did. We laugh and talk about that to this day.
 
 
 
I remember when my mother use to say ” just me and you are going shopping on Saturday”. I was SO HAPPY just to be with her, none of my other siblings went. But I hated the time when it was their turn to go shopping, and not mines. 😦
 
 
 
I remember when I was 14 my mom took me to my first concert and it was to see PRINCE. I loved him so much. One day my mom told me that I was going to out grow him, and that he wasn’t going to be my style anymore. I was SO MAD AT HER for saying that, because I felt it wasn’t true. Even though I LOVE me some PRINCE today….* that will NEVER change*… my taste in men has SURELY changed. LOL
 
 
 
I remember when my BFF Michelle who lived next door, cousins would come to Detroit from Chicago she would act funny and never talk to me. Then when they were gone, she would be my friend. I always took her back.
 
 
 
I remember working this summer job that had us cleaning out the upstairs of a roller rink. It was so nasty, dirty, hot, and so much debris up there, that I knew we were doing the work of MEN. I told my dad, and he was so mad when he saw the work they had us doing. He called the news and since the man who had us doing it was a public figure, it was all over . My BFF to this day was working with me * that’s how we met*, the news asked her if she can come to my house so that they can interview us. WE DIDNT KNOW WE WERE GOING TO BE ON THE NEWS. We thought it was just going to be a newspaper interview and that was it. Well after it hit the press, they went and shut that site down. Some of the people who worked with me, was so mad!!! I lost friends by going to the news, they all had to be relocated and had to catch buses to their new site. They were not happy with us at all. I was so embarrassed I never worked under the City of Detroit at a summer job again. Everywhere I went people knew me. I was dating a police officer, he came to my house while on duty and told me that he saw me in the paper, he was impressed…… I was depressed. * Looking back on it, it was the first sign of me understanding why I’m different. I stand up for what’s right, and will go to great lengths to carry OUT JUSTICE.*

My “Cree’s” Ramblings…. Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageOk so, I am extremely bored tonight. Today has been one of those days where it rained all day, and there’s no sun. I slept for several hours and its almost 2 am and I am outta my mind with nothing to do. LOL
 
 
 
 
I love watching T.I. and the family hustle. I adore his family and the way he communicate with his kids, and I can just keep little major until he becomes a teenager. I’m still mad at Kelly Price for how she talk to that man, and how she bought her Vaseline, timbos, and razor for Chant’e Moore. That bothered me.
 
 
 
 
I was just listening to an interview Spike Lee did today, and he said that he and Tyler Perry are cool. And that’s good news to hear. Because I have MAD MAD MAD Love for Spike Lee and of course Tyler Perry and to be honest, they are my favorite filmmakers and to see them go at it disappoints me. Especially in public. I DO NOT like that at all. But what ever conversation they had in private, I’m happy that they can respect each others work, and keep it moving. Because even in a friendship its always something you wont like, but that doesn’t mean to diss the person. I agree Spike and Tyler have love for filmmaking, but their work is from two different backgrounds. I can relate to them both. Spike Lee has a weird way of telling a story that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE because I get it. I watch his movies and have the ability to go inside his head and understand exactly what he is relating to his audience. I get the messages. I especially love his signature way of shooting a scene on a “ground train” where he’s close up.
 
 
 
 
I love Tyler Perry’s simple way of telling a story that speaks my language. I feel its a disrespect to others work when someone publicly mention it in a negative light. I don’t eat cheese, but I’m not going to get on TV, write in a blog, boycott, or write a book asking people why do they support KRAFT. What you don’t like keep it moving.
 
 
 
 
Oh well, I guess I’ll listen to my ipod and go to sleep on the music. LOL

Its all in your approach… Cree’s Blog Entry

ImageI’m doing my best to teach this generation of kids to learn how to communicate. Showing RESPECT and Communication is one of my biggest things in life.
 
 
 
When I was growing up, I was really shy and was scared to ask for what I wanted. When my aunt came over and I needed a few dollars for school, I would beg my mother to ask her for the money. But my aunt would say all the time, “what ever you want, ask for it yourself “. That just petrified me. I found out that people who are afraid of asking, are most likely scared to hear “No”. It taught me that no matter what the answer is, to always open up my mouth and ask.
 
 
 
One day recently my student came up to me and asked me to ask the lunch lady could she get a ranch dressing for her salad. I told her that if she wanted one she had to go and ask herself. She said …. she’s going to say NO. I asked her… did she give you one to start, she said that she forgot to get it. I said to her, well you have every right to want one, and to receive one. I said look baby.. ITS ALL IN YOUR APPROACH. I said now, she’s not looking over here, because she’s talking to someone. I said here is what you do, TO GET WHAT YOU NEED AND WANT…. First of all, NEVER approach anyone NEEDING something with an attitude. I told her to check her facial expression, body language, and tone of voice before she walks up to her. Know what you want, be direct to the point, and use less words as possible. I told her to smile, and say excuse me giving eye contact to them both as a form of respect. This is a way to attract the attention and respect of them both, and it also makes you seem as a person of interest…… they want to know what’s going to come out of your mouth. She followed my advice to the tee, made a new friend with the lunch lady because of the RESPECT she showed them both, and her request was an easy one.
 
 
 
Teach your children RESPECT AND COMMUNICATION… it goes a long way, and they’ll most likely get many of the things they want and need in life.
 
 
 
Be Blessed
