The question has been asked…
“Where have you been?”

I’ve been around. I haven’t said much.
Actually I haven’t said anything at all.

To those who wondered and asked about me…thank you.
It hasn’t gone unnoticed.

If I haven’t replied to your tweets, notes or emails.
I apologize.
I’ll be back real soon.

When?
I dunno…when I’m told.
I’m still resting.

I was told by someone special a few months ago:

“I asked for you and God sent you to me.”

She cried as she played a song from me that described what she was feeling.

He Heals Me – India.Arie

I held her.
“You make me feel really safe.” she said.

She loves music. So I sat quietly as she continued to play songs for me over time. I wanted to hear the messages she was giving me every time she played a song. It’s funny how thing’s matched India.Irie’s song without trying. Because I was genuinely interested. The songs continued over time. These are examples of a few (of plenty of songs) I heard:

This week has been a huge revelation to me. I’ve come to realize this society is very selfish.

Gone are the days of doing things because you want to do them or doing it out of love. Bring in the days of doing things because you either have to do it or you just don’t do it at all because you have another agenda.

Watching the things that are going on in Haiti disturb me. Watching dump trucks dump bodies in landfills and there isn’t a public outcry hurts me to my heart. It’s disturbing to watch a society have little regard to human life. How come people haven’t taken the time to identify who’s who so their families can have a sense of closure? nstead they are left with questions. Wondering if they’ll ever be able to see their loved ones again. Wondering if they are ‘gone’ will they be able to give them a proper place to rest. But watching what’s going on in Haiti is an analogy of our lives.

Every now and then I will post stories of ‘luv’. It will be about anything that has to do with ‘luv’…of oneself, of other people, those who are dealing with adversity and overcame, personal stories, etc. The purpose of Luv Stories is to give encouragement to those who may be dealing with the same issues.

This story was written by Kween Kiwi. You can find her blogging all of the time ((HERE)).

I love you…I still hear those words sometimes. Whether it’s a night time whisper before dreams seep in…or a midday memory as the day passes. I loved when he’d say it. It felt like the most genuine thing anyone has ever said. Those words didn’t come easy. I can remember the day he said it. A few days before…he’d worked himself up to it by questioning whom “I” loved. Refusing to say it first, I played along…naming family members, friends, etc…all to deflect from what he was really asking. Did I love HIM!

I’ve already gotten in trouble for one of these ‘Just Another Day’ post. This won’t be any different. I decided to do this the day after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday because I started to reflect on quite a few things that are going on in today’s society. Anyone who knows me knows I usually don’t do montages or tributes. But as a natural observer, I look at things for what they are. Sometimes MY truth does not bode well with what society thinks. But I pose a question that had been on my mind all day yesterday. If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was alive today would he be proud at what we have become as a population?

This post is self-explanatory.
I love Sade.
She’s always been a favorite of mine.
This song may be true for most.
And if so, this is dedicated to you.
With love.

Soldier of Love – Sade

I’ve lost the use of my heart
But I’m still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It’s a wild wild west
I’m doing my best
