Pubic Exposure...

When you are touched to speak, speak you better…
That has become the story of my life…it is as though God has grabbed my vocal chords and said, “Speak My Child…”
I have this absolute burning in my soul to say the words that have touched my heart…
And flow from my soul…
For years I thought I was supposed to keep quiet…
Not say what was there or what was true…
I guess I was caught up in the live and let live mindset…
What I have learned, is I did myself and anyone I could have assisted,
A disservice…
What I mean is that I have been blessed enough…
To work through and overcome so many situations…
And obstacles and that a part of my giving back is to expose myself...
And share with those who are open to hearing….
On Saturday night I did a speech that was geared toward youth…
But the emails I received were from adult women who felt impacted by
My words and experiences…
I lay awake that night churning, because I knew that while…
I was already doing apart of what my mission was…
I had really only begun…
And that I would have to risk…
Making people squirm…
And squirming myself…
Knowing that many would probably stay away from me…
But accepting that as okay because it would make room for those…
Who wanted to be there…
Yes I am intense…
Yes I do want things to go well…
No I don't like mess or messiness...
And am impatient with people not doing what they can do to live better lives....
Yes I do live a blessed life…
Surrounded by people who love and sometimes…
Spoil me…
But guess what I am willing to spread that love around…
Spoil a few worthy people…
Try to make a small difference…because you know what…
It ain’t about me…
I am a vessel…
Trying to live in the light…
And give back just a little of what has been given me…
