Ok.....not that av never taken a walk b4 in my life,but in my neighbourhood this is my first time taking a walk.So lately am working on getting fit,as per very soon,i will be walking down the aisle, nd it will be nice to be LEPA(slim) like sparkle.lol. B4 i went 4 dis walk, i was ranting about some things:
1. If dog attack me,where would i run to? 2. Getting kidnapped by some psycho(LurLar plssssss it's day time na) 3. Getting snub by my fellow walkers 4. Taking some money with me so i can buy ice cream when am tired or some change to jump on d bus when am feeling lazy. 5. Maybe i should postpone it,nd walk with my bf(dat would be more romantic)
Dis are d things going on in my head while i was getting ready to go 4 dis walk. I took the courage nd stepped out of the house. It was 6:30am, nd not dat many pple on d streets. My first shocker was dat pple driving by looking at me. Am thinking to myself.....wat are dey looking at? Haven't dey seen a black female taking a walk early in d morning b4? Den me sef come use style stand....took a very good look at myself...guess wat? i was putting on slippers, nd i said to myself no wonder dey were starring dat much,dats their problem jare. As i continued my adventure...i got my first good morning from a old white man trying to keep fit like me. I smiled, nd continued my journey. Wat i saw next was not even funny at all. I saw two bull dogs trying to smell eachothers yansh(butt)from afar. I said to myself quickly(The devil is a liar,i will not turn back) I planned where to run to incase dey attacked me. I planned how am going to cause a big drama nd noise to wake every1 sleeping in case dey come near me. Quickly i crossed the streets to the other side. Dis dogs actually noticed me,nd stopped playing with their butts, they stood there looking at me like a hungry lion......nd i on the other side was trying to act calm, nd at d same time watching dem with d corner of my eyes,just incase dey make any move.(can't imagine myself being chased by bulldogs). I guessed i did not give dem any reason to run after me..so they continued with their love affair. I walked to the park where i can get a beautiful view of the sea.....nd i sat down. 5 mins after sha i snapped out of the environment nd ready to go up hill. My going back was smooth, lots of walkers,nd joggers,dey were all being friendly,which was d opposite of wat i thought. I got home trying to act like i just finshed a 10k mile run.I tried cleaning up my sweat....but there was none. I walked in nd i got the positive reinforcement i wanted from my familia.
"For I know the plans I have for you..plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

An AFRICAN man walks into a cafe one early morning and noticed that he was the only AFRICAN man there. As he sat down, he noticed a white man behind him. The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here."
The AFRICAN man turned around and stood up. He then said:
See for urself why God made the black skin pple.........It's a poem,nd yea it's long!!!!but it's worth it.
Lord .... Why did you make me black? Why did you make someone the world would hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes, of grimy hands and feet... Black is the color of darkness, of tired beaten streets...Why did you give me thick lips,
a broad nose and kinky hair? Why did you create someone
who receives the hated stare
Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt... Black is the color of darkness, black is the color of dirt.
Why is my bone structure so thick, my hips and cheeks so high? Why are my eyes brown, and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think I'm useless? How come I feel so used? Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused?
Lord, I just don't understand... What is it about my skin? Why is it some people want to hate me and not know the person within?
Black is what people are "Labeled" when others want to keep them away... Black is the color of shadows cast... Black is the end of the day.
Lord you know my own people mistreat me, and you know this just ain't right... They don't like my hair, they don't like my skin, as they say I'm too dark or too light!
Lord, don't you think it's time to make a change? Why don't you redo creation and make everyone the same?
GOD's Reply:
Why did I make you black?
Why did I make you black?
I made you in the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed... I made you in the color of oil, the black gold which keeps people warm.
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil that grows the food you need... Your color is the same as the black stallion and panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation... When all these colors are blended, you become my greatest creation!
Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool, such a beautiful creature is he... I am the shepherd who watches them, I will ALWAYS watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnight sky, I put star glitter in your eyes... There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain... That's why your cheeks are so high!
You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes I create in September... I made your lips so full and thick, so when you kiss...they will remember!
Your stature is strong, your bone structure thick to withstand the burden of time... The reflection you see in the mirror, that image that looks back,..that is MINE!
So get off your knees, look in the mirror and tell me what you see? I didn't make you in the image of darkness... I made you in the image of ME!
Well enuff reason for me......nd i know these are just few of the reason why he made me a BLACK WOMAN.Convincing enuff for u?

Voice Comment....am loving it. Nice piece that i think u shld be shared among sistahs(not only ur mama pikin)lol. U think it's too long abi? read it first and u will see it's worth every single minute.
Ok...so I walk in and you see me. You see that my hair is done, my outfit is fierce and I carry myself like a lady. I smile at you but you roll your eyes at me, then, turn your head and whisper something to your girl. Why you hatin'?
Ok... so maybe I'm a new employee and this is my first day at work. I almost thought I would be the only sista in the joint until someone introduced us to each other. I smile and extend my hand, happy to know I won't be here alone. You smile and shake my hand but there's insincerity in your eyes and your hand is limp. You seem guarded.
What's wrong Ma'?
Ok ...so maybe my man and I have been having problems. And since you've been my best friend for years I confide in you that I think he's cheating on me. You offer your support. Until I find out that he's been cheating on me....with you! Why would you hurt me like that?
I found your knife, girl.....it's in my back!
As women we battle daily. We battle keeping our families together, keeping our men happy and maintaining our presence in the workforce. With all that battling going on why in the world should we have to battle each other?
Now I'm not saying every sistah has a knife...but some of you do....and you know who you are. Why is it that a woman can't get her glamour on without you having a problem? Why can't I get a blonde weave without you having something to say? If I'm working myself to death in the office trying to climb the corporate ladder...why am I suddenly a sellout? If I leave the room for a minute why can't I trust you around my man? Smiling in my face, but gossiping all my personal business behind my back? You now have permission to consider yourself triflin'!
Inferiority Complex. It makes us feel that in order to be someone special we have to put everyone else beneath us. Are we so insecure in ourselves that we can't feel good until we pull someone else down?
There's something wrong here. We've come to envy those who've accomplished in their lives what we've only dreamed of having for ourselves. And when we fear we will never be able to get what we want - we steal it.
There is a serious self-worth issue going on here. We're in a day and age where we should be encouraging each other and holding each other up.
Sisterhood should not end when Oprah goes off. Truth be told, there will always be someone prettier, sexier, stronger, and smarter. I'm sorry Boo - that's just the way it is. But that's ok.....just do you!
I don't care how good Beyonce' looks - if she walks into the same room I'm in, it doesn't make me any less of the diva I already am! I love admiring hairstyles...but there's no need to be jealous. Honey, nowadays there's enough hair for err-body.
I have goals in life. There are things I strive to attain. Yet I seek out successful sisters because they keep me motivated.
Life is so much more than who looks the best, who dresses the best and who makes more money. So when you see your sister going for hers let it inspire you .... To do you.
