It has been a minute since I have been on this blog... Ive so been dealing with MAJOR transitions in my life. I am in a place that I never knew I would be. Trying to find employment and get my life back on track has been more than a challenge. Being a single mother through this has made it even harder. Im slowly getting things together.... I just hate the process is taking so long. I know this was random as ever but so what... LOL

We've Forgotten Who the Future Is

(These are my 3 lil favorite people. My 2 nieces (in red) and my lil bit (literally) in white. My lil bit and my niece on the right are the same age believe it or not. LOLOL)

Im sitting back and watching things that are going on in society. Im watching the decline educationally, mentally, physically, and respectfully. I know that last one is not necessarily in the proper verbal context but seriously the youth of today completely lack all these things in themselves. Since when did it become popular to to flunk out of school. Since when did it become popular to have a slew of kids before you even reach age 20. Since when did it become popular to flaunt ALL YOUR EVERYTHINGS out there for the world to see. It just immensely saddens me and having a ton of nieces we as a collective family unit are doing all we can to keep these girls off the pole and the boys from impregnating everything that walks by with a vajj.

My sis and I had to have a very REAL and very RAW conversation with one of my nieces after some information was brought to our attention about some VERY inappropriate behavior. Im known for letting these youngins have it and I surely gave it to her. The conversation (if you can call it that) was not just putting her down but lettting her know the consequences of her actions. Not just the You might get preggers but down to disease, relinquishing her self worth, being labeled THAT GIRL with dudes who know her. Just EVERYthing.

I truly think if more people sat their children down and let them know whats REALLY REAL in these streets some of these teen pregnancies and drug use could be avoided. I know that sometimes no matter how much you give your kids info and help them and arm them with knowledge some of them will just go astray. But hopefully they will return to their teachings from you and get back on track if they do. Sometimes that is just the way that the cookie crumbles. But for the rest of these lil heffas (female and males alike) I think it just boils down to parents not getting in that ASS.

Just like anything else over time, parenting needs to evolve as well. We need to embrace the old skool parenting but at the same time offer a more open line of communication. Allow our kids to come to us with ANY issues they have without going completely HAM and not hearing them out. Letting them talk and get out what they are feeling and offer them SOUND SOLID SOLUTIONS. There are people who wanna constantly bible thump (which is OK, Seriously it is) but at the same time you need to not brow beat them with telling they only need to pray, cause the Lord expects us to have some actions along with our prayers.

In essence what Im saying (cause I think Im rambling at this point) is that we as a nation have failed our youth overall, and the only way to combat the foolery is for folks to stop sitting silent when they see messery and just talk to these kids and guide them like we are supposed to. Trust my kid is being raised old skool, she gets that arse beat when needed, but we also talk some things out and I let her tell me how she is feeling and offer her some solutions to whatever lil issues she may be feeling like she has. Now she is only 3 so her issues arent issues at all, but to her they are major so I never discount her feelings.

 This is how she and I roll.

Thunder and Rain.... Doin things to my Brain

I
 love the rain... I love the thunder and lightning as well... The smell of rain just calms and relaxes me. I love to chill next to a window in the summer with the rain falling listening to the sounds and just inhaling. I often fall asleep with the windows open. It just allows me to reflect and think... It also just makes me want to snuggle up for some good extra lovin. What?! IJS! It does... 

As soon as I hear it I think about all those things above... A combo of them all would be extra lovely. But alas my lover man is not here... Also, Ive no true privacy to sit by that window with that glass of wine to fall asleep. So Im sitting here thinking about those things... The thunder stopped a long time ago. I've had numerous interruptions while I was in the process of creating this post. Too many people in this house. I need that quiet moment. 




On another note... I would love to have a nice walk in the rain... Not a heavy one but a light one in the warm night air.... 


Mmmmmmmm..... The Rain.......

I can pretty much guarantee that I will be possibly posting more than one blog in a day because thats how my mind works. Unless Im hankering down and super busy with KXBB (thats my business Kozmik Xxplosion Body & Beauty).
