Coming Soon! Cree’s Blog Entry!

blinkHey 🙂

What a WILD UNREAL 2 weeks in a row it has been. When I get enough time to write it all down, its going to be a trip!!! LOL

I’m starting TOMORROW a NEW SERIES called “For real LaCrease”? Its about real LIFE LESSONS that’s crazy, but at the same time…. it can/will teach you a LESSON. So many things going on, and it just amazes me how either I react to them, or how I just let it go. Things I have to share is going to seem unreal, and the question will be asked? For real LaCrease? LOL

Stay tuned!

Where works of the flesh exists, there is NO joy

My niece Prom Photos…Crees blog entry

Okay, I am so excited!!! My niece * my sister* Nell had her Prom yesterday and she looked so pretty. Im so proud of her. She didn’t want to go, and its something because many students at my school don’t want to go to their Proms. They don’t understand how excited we as parents and family feel about graduating. This is an exciting time for us. I’m so proud of her.

“SURGICAL” Crees Blog Entry!

dscn0694.jpgEnjoying this night here in downtown Detroit near the river. The breeze feels so cool and refreshing. I’m looking out the window thinking about some of the things that I am paying attention to when it comes to Celebrities, PEOPLE I KNOW, and the Media. Things I am not happy with, people making me sick. I’m not a person who dwells on negativity, but what I’m seeing bothers me. About a week plus ago, I had a dream that was so real, that it woke me up and I kept thinking about it. In the dream God told me… He said “LaCrease one day you’re going to be well known, and whatever you do, don’t say anything you can’t take back”. I knew what he was talking about. Kinda bothered me because I couldn’t say what I wanted to say. It paralyzed me from speaking MY truth. Never knowing that each day after that dream, I would become angrier  and angrier about a certain situation. It was like he was warning me EARLY, not to even go there, Its been hard, but I’m glad he came to me in a dream. For the fact that I’m a writer…. I KNOW I CAN GET VERY   “SURGICAL” WITH MY WORDS……. BUT GOD CAME TO THE RESCUE OF THE WOULD BE WOUNDED.

You can’t change who people want to be. * Crees blog entry*

god has a reasonToday was a great day.  My mommy came over with my niece for a while. We had a good time talking and laughing.

Just sitting here thinking how all my life my dad stayed mad at his kids and my mom *4 of us* all the time. He taught us to make up and forgive ON THE SPOT, but he NEVER did what he taught. He’s been “mad” at me since April 10, and for the first time in MY LIFE… I’m making it my business to NOT call him first, so that I can see just how long he can go. No matter what…. I will always call him first, he’s so stubborn, I don’t see how he can LIVE LIFE LIKE THAT. As I think about this situation. I understand now why I Love to have Peace. Its because with my dad its always ciaos. I remember giving him money from my summer jobs when I was at home, just to “make up with him” and keep the peace around the house. I just wanted Peace so that I can do things without anyone/him being upset with me… especially him.

Now that I look back on my life up until 10 years ago, I always cared who was mad at me. I cared. I would call folks and make up even if I was wrong. I would knock on friends door and ask ” are you still mad at me”? Its like I couldn’t get on with my day… if someone was mad at me. I feel like crying thinking about this. I always wanted to be like others and say.. ” I don’t care if she’s/he’s mad at me and really mean it!!! But me on the other hand…I had to do something “extra” to make peace so that I can get on with my day. I’m at a place in my life, where I refuse to call him. No way. He called up everyone in the family and told them that he’s mad at me. SHM. But I know he never thought in a million years that I would not have called him by now. As bad as it sounds, I’m so happy. LOL LOL I’m really proud of myself in a ” MESSED UP KINDA WAY”. It’s something deep to see just how long he can go. It only tells me that in the past, had I not made up first, he would have never done it 😦  BUT this is how he is, very stubborn. None of his kids are that way. We make up when we’ve offended it each, we talk it out, we laugh it out, and we move on. Everyday my dad is mad at somebody in the family. This is the longest we’ve ever went, it has made me a strong person in this area…… 🙂 On this note… let me say this. Stop holding grudges… make up and let still stuff go. I learned to not care and take stuff to heart so much. People are going to be who they want to be…. and there is nothing I can do about it. My dad has been this person since I was born… I cannot change him.He LOVES to manipulate. If I even share why he’s mad at me, it would be so embarrassing . LOL * yeah its that petty* Thing  is…. I didn’t do anything. No more catering to him. And I’m proud of myself.

What am I gonna do? * brow and nails* Blog entry :(

janine

Hey,

So…. I’ve been getting my nails and brows done by Asians Shop owners HUSBAND AND WIFE… Amy and John. He does my nails and she does my brows. I’ve been going to them faithfully for 11-12 years straight!!! When I go to the shop John is the only person I let do my nails, and trust me, he wont let anyone in his shop do them anyway…. lol. She does nails too, but she specialize in brows. One day she was real busy and I walked in, she pointed to one of her other techs, and said to me… she can do your brow. I looked at her, I said Amy come here…. she said huh? I said LOOK, pointing to my eyebrows with a straight face, and so that no one else could hear… “NOBODY DO BROW BUT AMY OKAY”? She cracked up laughing!!!! She said okay, but she do good job. I looked at her and said I don’t care how long it takes… I’ll sit here and wait for you. She got my point, and so I waited for her. Now, there has been times in the past where I would le one of her gurls do my brows… because yes they did a great job. But if she’s there I will wait. But no one has ever, ever, ever, done my nails for 11-12 years except john. NO ONE EVER. Not one person.

Yesterday, as me and Nesha was entering the shop * I notice everything* I saw a note on the window saying that they’re open on Tuesdays. I know Amy and John close on that day. So, I walked in and OMG….I saw this Asian man sitting in John’s chair. I spoke to everyone there, and said” hey where is Amy and John?” The man sitting in John’s chair * I almost passed out seeing him sit there* he said they’re on vacation, they went back home , they will be back”. So, I’m like okay. Now, I’m standing there debating if I should leave out of the door or stay. I decided that since I wasn’t getting my nails done, that maybe I could try out one of these ladies to do my brows. So, we go and sit in the brow section, they “man sitting in john’s chair” kept looking at me. As he was doing that, I was looking around saying to Neshia, this place feels different. I said I don’t feel Amy and john’s SPIRIT around here. I can discern Spirits, and I didn’t feel them AT ALL.

As, I’m sitting in the chair looking around, the “man” is still doing nails and looking at me…. look around this shop. Then I see new things, and things moved a certain way from how Amy had them. I said to Nesha, NO… NO…. UM um that man is lying, this is his shop now. Nesha says ma, please don’t say nothing to that “man”, you gone embarrass me. I said gurl… something aint right around here and I know it. So, her phone ranged and that was my time to ask this “man”. One of those times he was watching me and done with his client…. I put my finger up and said come here okay? He came over to me. And I looked him dead in the eyes, and said in a real low voice….. tell the truth okay? Is this your shop now? He said Yes. He said Amy and John went back to their country because someone is very sick in the family * her mom or his mom* and they went back to take care of them. He said they didn’t want to leave and want to come back soon, but for now, I’m taking care of it for them. I said okay…. Thank you for telling me the truth. I said it doesn’t not feel for same in here. They had it fixed up very nice and cozy, but the point I’m making is, ITS NOT AMY AND JOHN. He went on to say that he would take care of me, and that he hopes I continue to do business there. I was happy, and told him that I look forward to it.

When it comes to a woman’s clothes, shoes, eyelashes, nails, hair, home. WE DON’T PLAY. We are very, very, very, picky. That’s just how we are. So, as the lady was doing my brows. I kept asking myself why am I letting her do this? Then I thought if Amy is not here and has no plans of returning, I have to learn to trust somebody. As she was doing them, my mind is spinning. I’m thinking Father God in the name of Jesus, please don’t let my facial expression * Nene Leakes* show how I’m feeling about her doing my brows. Please God let me be nice, and let me say the right things, in a nice voice. Please let my brows come out pretty. So, when I saw them, my facial expression was good and I love my brows.

I guess the point I’m making is….. I miss Amy and john, and for now I don’t know who is going to do my brows and nails. I’m sad…. so sad. Well, at least I do know how to always get in touch with my hairstylist Janine. Even though I don’t get my hair cut and curl often *I curl my own hair when its long* she is the ONLY, THE ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY one who I’ll let  do it. She’s been doing my hair for 21 years since Nesha was 6 years old. I let someone experiment on my hair ONE time and that was it. *felt guilty too* lol No one has done my hair EVER SINCE * she can sang too           * Janine * her in the photo above*

So, I’m feeling some kinda way today. I feel like I’ve been abandoned. 😦

Cree’s Ramblings Gerald Levert, @tylerperry and my Students *my blog entry*

blurrymeSo many thoughts go through my mind. Ever since I was a young gurl, I use to always write in my journal. I don’t think anyone in the world have as many as I had back in the day before there were computers. What I learned is that I don’t have to share them all, I have learned to keep something’s to myself. Funny thing is… if people knew what I knew…. I wonder how they would feel…. for the fact that I DIDN’T SHARE IT WITH THEM….especially when I could have at anytime. Its not that I “set out” to be “secretive”, its just that I’m at the time in my life, where I enjoy figuring out things, knowing things, laughing and/or crying to myself. For a person with a huge personality, I realize that its “Okay” to keep something’s to myself. My daddy told me long, long time ago…. “Never empty your head out”. I didn’t get it then…. but I do now.

 

 

As I write, I’m sitting here listening to Gerald Levert. I miss him so much…. it just hurts so bad. When Luther Vandross died, and Barry White my mothers favorite artist. She cried and I really never understood it because “In my mind” they were people she never met. We went to see them both in concert, but I never realize the connection she had with their music and their work…. until Gerald died. When she was going through her own personal issues, the music that they made, helped her get through those times. And so, I finally got it. 1163220814-hr-937

 

 

I was at work when my coworker called my extension. She said LaCrease I have something to tell you, are you sitting down? Her voice didn’t sound right, I remember screaming in the phone… WHAT KI KI WHAT? When she told me, I instantly went numb. I was a walking zombie. She came to get me with about 3 other coworkers and I remember going to the rest room crying like a baby. It was one of those things where when you hear a story you instantly know its true. Now, I’m a person who don’t believe a whole lot of nothing . I side eye everything, lol but this feeling was real. I could hear God in my ear at work saying to me… LaCrease, I let you meet him, take SO MANY photos, spend PERSONAL TIME with him, be invited to his listening party with 50 others. He answered your questions in a LIVE CHAT, SAT FRONT ROW AT HIS VERY LAST CONCERT AT THE FOX IN DETROIT… When I think of that…..tears REFUSE to fall. God has truly comforted me during that time. My LOVE for Gerald goes way back. I feel this same way about Tyler Perry. Nothing better not happen to him before I meet him 🙂 This would hurt me something terrible. tpcollection

 

 

Today I was talking to one of my students. I have to be careful, because I can break somebody down with my words and eye contact, especially about stupid mess… so I have to be careful because these are KIDS. This boy came in the lunch room like he grown, cursing and acting hard. My coworker and I said to him excuse ME… DONT YOU SEE US STANDING HERE , WHILE YOU’RE DOING ALL THAT CURSING? He said I’M GROWN… I can do what I want to do, and say what I want to say. He said I pay my own bills, pay my own rent, buy my own clothes. So. now I’m looking at him real hard walking up on him, THEN HE SAID…. MY MOTHER IS DEAD….. I’M GROWN. He said it with such conviction and he meant it, NOOOOBODY is going to tell him what to do. He looked like he wanted to pull out a gun and show us better than he can tell us.A wave of anger went through him. That’s when I heard God say…. go over and sit with him. I went and sat at the table with just him. I said what’s your name? He said Juan.. I said I’m Ms. Walker. He calmed all the way down when he realized that I wasn’t there to hurt him or be HIS BOSS. I sat with him and looked him in his eyes and said to him. First of all lets start off respecting each other. He said okay and he apologized for his foul mouth. After that we just started talking and after a few minutes, I knew that he had a lot on his plate. It hurts me to my heart that these kids carry so much on them. The parents are either on drugs, dead, or too busy doing them. But there are some good parents out there, let me make that clear. I’m so HAPPY AND SO BLESSED that God gave me this gift to be able to break through to this kids. They really listen to me, even if they don’t get it right now, I tell them to “file it”, That means to keep it in the back of their minds and whenever they need to use that wisdom, to pull it out. LOL Tomorrow I can’t want to see him again, so that I can see how he’s doing. Praise God!!!!stay-positive.jpg

 

 

Okay let me close this up, because I can write all day. Remember to LOVE people, show yourself friendly. Always encourage, uplift and inspire someone. God loves YOU!!

 

 

Be Blessed

Boys to Men * MY Life Lesson* (blog entry)

lady 2.5 secondsSo, here I am 45 living alone for the first time in my life. Meeting new people, and really getting to know myself in ways I never thought to be. I have a daughter, who is my only child, and for the first time in my life working with boys and gurls * teens* I’m getting a glimpse of what its like to deal with boys.

 

I know this sounds “crazy”…. but this is my journey and my personal LIFE LESSON that I’m learning.

 

I remember so clearly telling my sister as she raised my nephews Greg and Gary, that she needs to say NO and stick to it! But she would always tell me… gurls are different than boys. I can’t explain it, And I would say…. that may be, but don’t let them talk you into doing something, when you told them NO!!! She couldn’t get me to understand, and that’s because I didn’t have a SON of my own.

 

Working at a High School has really taught me something’s about myself. I am really a softee. LOL Dealing with gurls is SO much different than dealing with boys. I can tell a gurl, come on lets keep it moving, get to class. She will turn to me and have something smart to say, roll her eyes, and laugh with her gurls, all in one minute. I can tell a boy the same thing, he will smile, try to explain why he’s in the hall way and say… Okay Ms. Walker I’m going to class. He’ll see me later, and talk to me like he’s my SON. But when I see that gurl, she will hold a grudge for dear life!!! LOL This really shocks me, because I raised a gurl and I didn’t have this kind of reaction at all. Even when I started my gurls group Raisingurls to Women. Thing is…. I DONT CARE!!!

 

But here is the big picture of this story. Since being on my own, I have met several men. Maybe 2, I liked, one better than the other. A few days ago, I was downstairs in the business area, which the door is closed to make it private. One of the guys who work here in the building * we’re good friends, he’s one of the 2* came in to talk with me. We chatted for a good while, he kept looking at my lips, but I didn’t really pay it any attention. As he got up to leave *with his TALL THICK SELF*… he reached down *caught me totally off guard* and kissed my lips. I was so shocked! He knew I didn’t like that, and I wondered where did that come from, but at the same time, I can tell that he was happy. It was a ride or die moment for him, and he didn’t care what I thought about it, who was looking, and also for the fact that he was WORKING… he did what he always wanted to do.

 

So yesterday when I saw him, I asked him why did he do that? He said that he couldn’t help it. While I was asking him, it hit me. I have never raised a boy, but I now understand that MEN/BOYS will try us women. They want to see just how far they can go. They test us all the time to see what they can get away with. That’s their nature. They were raised by women, and with that said….that is how they FIRST learned what they can and can’t get away with. WOW WOW WOW!!! And when I bought this up to him, he said YES!!!! That’s how we do, we want to see just how far we can go with you. Everything is a TEST to them.

 

Gosh, what he say that for!!! LOL Looking back at the boys in school, I see that since I never raised a son, they probably can sense that I have a soft spot for them. I even let them have their way, when I shouldn’t. Wow, I learned a lot this past weekend. I can tell a gurl No, she will go on by her business with an attitude, but if I tell a boy No, he will sit there and beg me until I say yes!! Wow. And that’s the same way my nephews now 20 and 22 are. They did my sister the same way. I didn’t get it then. Come to think of it, my nephews did me that way too!!! LOL LOL I love them so much, they can still get anything from me.

 

Okay… so now I know how boys/men think when it comes to getting their way on ANSWERS, QUESTIONS, AND OTHER THINGS…. I’m going to have to “MOTHER-UP” on them and be TOUGH. *smile* TRUST me… I know how!!!

 

Be Blessed
