Growing up, I lived in a 2-parent home with four siblings, a German shepherd dog named Sergeant and on occasions, a chameleon that I brought home from school who we called Sam. To me, this was normal and the way all households should run. Following high school graduation, I went to college, married and had a son; that was the way it was suppose to happen….right? Yes, in my WORLD. Unbeknownst to me, that WORLD was not my REALITY….my REALITY was the breakup of a unit/family and the beginning of something else. From that bag of tricks came the shame, the fear, the tears, the insecurity, the brokenness and the thought of suicide embodied in a shell of womanhood and motherhood. From then to now, I was being molded to take on a movement while on a path of my very own healing and forgiveness…..Real Talk the Movement it was called, MY REALITY of a MOVE.
My story includes so many uphill battles that through it was birthed a spirit to help the hurting, to cheer for the underdog, to bridge the gap and to bring about change in the way we treat one another, see one another and handle one another; I know I’m not alone. There are so many others, both men and women, who have dealt with their own REALITY of life. For some, came the bitter woman, the stone cold man, the timid wife, the manipulative husband and now what seems like a selfish society. In order for things to get better, we have to break LOOSE from the chains that entangle us, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, see where we are, and cry out…HELP! With the cry for HELP, there should be a community of people to embrace, help mend, support, guide and love. Are you ready to embrace? Are you ready to help mend? Are you ready and willing to love? Ask yourself, why are you here? You’re here to bless others, to nurture the youth, to build a community, a community to be filled with so much LOVE that nothing is broken and there is no room for envy or jealousy.
The REALITY is we live in a WORLD that is full of possibilities just waiting for us to take it by the horns and LIVE! A WORLD filled with Great people doing Great things, engineering Greatness Together. A MOVEMENT that has decided to transcend past judgment, evil, brokenness, but advocates for healing, prosperity, effective communication and understanding of one another so we can grow until there is no more… Then at the end of the day, we can all look back and say….we fought the good fight together and we created our REALITY! Our REALITY to see the good in one another, our REALITY to treat others the way we would want to be treated, our REALITY to do good, to live life, to show acts of kindness and to be a light to those trying to find their way home…..
