Soapbox Wednesdays: Get Out My Way Woman….I Got People to Prove Wrong!!

On a good day some would call me an extrovert; I truly do have strong opinions on almost every topic.  I guess it comes from researching and reading a lot.  I will not claim to know it all by far but I’m an information junkie.  So when I hear things and they don’t make sense to me or are emotion driven…I don’t get offended nor do I argue any longer; I’ve outgrown that reaction.  Plus, now I have this blog to express my opinions and give others a chance to question theirs.  We have “Old Skool Thursdays” and now I … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesdays: Get Out My Way Woman….I Got People to Prove Wrong!!

Old Skool Thursday- Black Music Month

Old Skool Thursday-  Black Music Month Anyone that has been to my home can tell you I love music.  When you enter the living room of my home the first thing most music lovers notice is my record player and vinyl collection.  I have a small collection compared to some, but to me it’s just right.  Plus if Jamie and I continue our runs to Princeton Music Exchange it’s sure to keep growing.   Let me add I listen to a number of different genres of music; Soul, Jazz, Hip hop, Folk, Gospel and more.  Most, if not all these genres … Continue reading Old Skool Thursday- Black Music Month

My Role of Aaron

A few years back I truly learned the power of Faith and Prayer.  I watched as my sister’s life was proclaimed over by man more than once or twice in a short time span (I’ll save this full testimony for another time).  Never once did I believe their report even when love ones, friends or doctors tried to prepare me for what “may” happen.  They meant no harm, they just didn’t want to see me hurt. Faith in God’s word is what I stood on.  My role was simple and I played it well; thank God, I maintain my sister is healed.  And I would play … Continue reading My Role of Aaron

To My Husband to Be…. “When you find me”

I love how God works just when you least expect it, he shows up and in this case he showed off…  I had almost conceded that this was not my season for love outside of God, family and friends.  Then God went and inserted “Al-Lateef Farmer” here; with “here” being my heart.   So here goes…Long before the October night; when you gave up your spot so I could see Mos and Talib hit the stage.  Long before the November evening; where Stevie Wonder played in the background as we sat in the car and talked well into the night.  Long before the January afternoon; I came to pray for … Continue reading To My Husband to Be…. “When you find me”

Desperate

A desperate attempt to make poetry out of you. We greet each other like strangers. We have nothing to discuss, outside of what happened to us. Tired of discussions that turn into arguments “about what was done right and what was done wrong.” We barely speak or see each other as “home.” I promise you that I have searched             and searched all night trying to recall the words I used to describe you             when we first met. Believing that maybe those words would help me get      that feeling of love back. I questioned how             I framed … Continue reading Desperate
