I’m entering planning mode! 🙌🏾 In two years, I’ll be celebrating 60 wonderful years of life, and I want to start building the vision now. Theme ideas? Venue ideas Downtown Detroit or Surrounding Suburbs? Catering ideas? Party IDEAS? I have no experience at all in this area. Please help!!!!
Post ideas even if you don’t live in Detroit. I’ve never had a party because of shyness; I have a big personality and is Blessed to have wonderful family and great long-lasting friendships. I need help!
I used to want to be a lawyer. I loved to debate, and it was fun arguing for hours. However, I would get mad and soon realize that I felt my way was the only way. It’s not.
Everyone is different. We all have different personalities and experiences. We can’t all come to the same conclusion; it’s impossible. Once I learned that, it became easier to understand people. My personal experiences made my story true.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
It’s funny because my parents use to always say… “Don’t get old.” I knew that they weren’t saying “die early”, and now that I’m at that age they said it, I knew exactly what they mean. Because these knees are off the hook!!! 😂😂😂😂 Whew Chile!!!
Honestly, I look forward to getting old. I want to see my great nieces and nephews grow up to have families. I want to have my regular debates with my siblings. I want to take care of my mother. I look forward to these things.
When I tell you I Love my grandbaby dog…. hear me.
My one and only child bought a home and got her a dog. D
Dogs are my favorite animals and I remember when I first met him, he was three months old. It wasn’t always roses with Mr. Brendan and I. For a minute I thought we weren’t going to get along. He used to jump on me when I walked in the door. He would nibble on my ears and give me little nip bites on my arms. I think I was scared of him for a moment. He would take my hat, socks and my hairpiece making me chase him.. He was aggressive, but not hurtful. I had to realize that he was just a baby and had to learn. My daughter trained HIM WELL. Very well. He’s 3 years old now and he’s my bestie. Smart, loving and love watching his dog movies. I love taking him for rides, but He HATES RED LIGHTS. 😆😆😆
Mr. Brendan is very aggressive when playing because He is very competitive. This dog wants to win in everything. I told my daughter as the months went on, that if he was a person, he would definitely play football. He wants to win every game or he’s gonna want to keep playing until he wins. Brendan is very very strong. It amazes me now how he loves football and when he sees them run the ball, he’s up jumping, doing spins and tail chasing.
I absolutely love My Grandbaby. He loves to play. Brendan is a Black Lab. There is not a day go by that I don’t Thank God for him. I spend weeks at a time with them before going home 10 minutes away. 😆😆😆
What’s something you believe everyone should know.
I want everyone to know that Jesus is going to crack the sky. Pray, REPENT, Believe and know that it’s going to happen. Be ready. Don’t have so much fun here that you don’t think about what’s to come. Be ready and watch.
Let’s live forever!

What food would you say is your specialty?
Definitely COLLARD GREENS! I can eat a half a pot of these.
Yes, I made these greens.
Growing up my mom made greens on any given day along with corn on the cob, fried chicken, corn bread and kool aid. So I grew up making the same dinners for my daughter. Now that she’s grown and gone, her speciality IS chili.
I’m 57 and haven’t had my hair braided since I was a teenager.
My sister came over one day and put some braids in for me. I loved them, but they could have been smaller so they would last longer. I wore them for about a month. It was so different for me because I wasn’t used to getting up in the mornings and not having to do my hair. When I took them down, the waves left in my hair were so pretty. I even took photos. But what happened next SHOCKED ME.
I didn’t comb my hair out; I just went to the sink and started washing it. As I was washing, I noticed that my hair was balling up and feeling thin. It didn’t feel like my normal wash. When I was done and dried it, I ran my fingers through it and saw that it was tangled so badly, I think I went into shock. It was full of clumps that I couldn’t even comb out. I stood there in shock as I tried to detangle it. I tried everything. That’s when I drove to my daughter’s house for her to help me. We did all we could, but I had to cut out the tangled hair. I was devastated. I didn’t know how long it would take to grow back, but I knew what worked for me in the past. Here are some photos from 2022 and now, 2024.
What I used to grow my hair. Ponytails everyday for 2 summers. I’m so happy my hair grew back and it’s even longer now. Don’t be afraid to try.
It’s well-known that Simone Biles was raised away from her mother due to her mother’s struggle with drug addiction. In a recent interview, her mother was questioned about having Simone’s contact number. She confirmed she did but chose not to initiate contact, opting to wait for Simone to reach out when ready. This decision was met with criticism by some, given that her mother’s addiction was the cause of their estrangement. Nonetheless, I Pray, Simone reaches out to her mother. It’s my wish that she finds it in her heart to forgive and inquire about her mother’s life and the battles she faced that led to drug dependency.
I understand that our parents have their own challenges, some of which they never overcome. Perhaps they lack strength or a supportive network. These challenges can drive a wedge between us and our loved ones. By making an effort to comprehend their upbringing, we might start to grasp their choices. While we may not concur, their experiences remain their truth. I hope that in having this dialogue, Simone and her mother can start healing and forge a strong mother-daughter bond.
Today I decided to call off from work. Its been a while since I did that, because when I do I feel so guilty. But tonight I’m glad I did. Today was one of those days where I’m feeling some kinda way. So many questions to God and things that I have learned about myself. I really needed this day off.
I challenge you to get to know yourself, think about YOU, realize and come to some conclusions about things. Think about consequences YOU had to deal with because of YOUR immature decisions. Its okay. Cry, laugh, and think about things in the past. I did and I’m glad. I want to share them with you.
I find myself often asking God, why do we have to stay “down here” with people who just want to kill and hurt others? Yes, I know Jesus will come for us, and I look forward to that day. But I still ask, because I often wonder if I could survive if some of the things that happen to others, would happen to me. That’s so scary to me.
I realize that once upon a time.. I cared what people thought about me. I cared about the wrong things. Recently a coworker came to me and told me that she was pregnant with her 3rd baby, at 19. She was feeling some kinda way, because she and her kids father were already having a hard time with a baby sister while they work, not to mention the fact that she was embarrassed, and ashamed that she was pregnant again. I was so happy she came to me, because of my experience I was able to help her come to her conclusion. I was so glad that I am a person who can share my experiences (( because I revisited them and healed)) with others, and I don’t GIVE A DAM about what people think ANYMORE. I told her how I had my daughter at 19 and 3 months later I was pregnant again. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone except her dad. I was ashamed and VERY AFRAID WHAT OTHERS WOULD THINK OF ME. I decided very quickly that I would have an abortion. I was especially afraid of what my parents would think of me. At 3 months I had an abortion and never thought about it again until I was in my 30’s. I shared my story with my co-worker and told her this: This is YOUR baby, yes you may be ashamed, but at the end of the day….. if you decide to have an abortion it will be with you for the rest of your life. You can raise this baby, you can do it. When you lay eyes on your baby for the first time, you’re going to ask yourself…. how could I ever consider killing you? I told her don’t care or worry about what the next person has to say about you, because at the end of the day this is your baby, YES THE ONE GOD GAVE YOU. And with that, her baby boy will be born sometimes this summer. Amen!
I realize that I enjoy being alone more that I ever thought. My personality attracts a lot of people. No matter where I go someone always have a story for me. I don’t mind because God wired me up to be a listener and a person who gives good GODLY advice. I’ll be 50 this year, and with my age comes a lot of experience and WISDOM. With that being said.. so when I’m home, I like to chill out. I don’t talk on the phone unless its my parents or my siblings. (( and I have the nerve to have the iPhone 7 PLUS)) I hate talking on the phone. So I write a lot and that’s my personal therapy. Now don’t get me wrong. I LOVE being around people, I love going to the movies, or my favorite mall. I love get to gethers to play cards, laugh and talk junk. I LOVE to travel, and I LOVE ENTERTAINMENT. Its just that when I’m HOME… that’s my place of PEACE.. AND I LET NO ONE DISTURB THAT LIFE!
I’m very territorial when it comes to my daughter, my family and a few friends.
I HATE when women talk about other women. I just HATE it. What they don’t realize is, when you do that, you’re only making your OWN self esteem go down. What you think about others, you FEAR others think about you. FLAT OUT! Stop that. Build! Find something about her that stands out in a good way and focus on that in your mind. Trust me, she has something way more valuable than you. God made her differently.
I love about myself is the fact that I don’t have to look cute everyday. I can throw on some clean clothes and just run my errands looking ruff in the face. And, I know that I can throw on some clothes and as soon as I hit the outdoors MEN ARE STARING AND SMILING.. I love this about myself. LOVE IT. I DO ME DAILY! ME ME ME… now do YOU YOU YOU!
Take a inventory of yourself and discover you all over again!
I AM La’Crease and I don’t have to do ANYTHING ELSE!
