| long time - no blog......
don't know what really to say, except that I have been busy out the
wazooo! I am very proud of my lil' sis Cara for graduating! I haven't
talked to my sisses lately because I have been out of town almost every
week, but I am not liking what people have been coming up to me and
saying since I came back.......
It is amazing and beautiful, how many people REALLY and TRULY care
about our family, and make sure that someone in the link of our strong
chain knows just who is starting to get a little rusty and weak. I am
sure that everyone has heard the saying, "you are as strong as the
weakest the link in your chain."
The J Girls can be the best, strongest, closest, most secure and proud
(within and of themselves) if we support, back up, love, and sometimes
set each other straight. I vowed (within' the last 2 or 3 months) that
I would not get involved with any other issues in their lives
anymore(except for Jordo - because she is consistent and respects my
involvment equally as much as I expect her's in my life, and with Joey,
because she has opened up and trusted me and asked for my help. ***And
just to clarify, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE THEIR MOTHER, AND WOULD NEVER
EVER EVER WANT TO HAVE THE TITLE AS THEIR MOTHER, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT A
TITLE THEY SPEAK FONDLY OF! I am their biggest sister who helped birth
them, raise them, and help build their character, creativity in the
arts and has been a constant support for them (even when we were
fighting, screaming, and pulling the silent treatment on each other -
which of course all siblings do).
So.... I will mention to them about other's concerns, but to the ones
who truly care out there who have talked to me about their issues.....
please address them with the girls themselves and with their parents. I
plead you to do so!
Thank you so much, and kids.........
Please strive to stay strong in a society that is so weak in so many
ways. You can only be presented with happiness if you don't live your
life in drama unless you are on a stage with a spot light on ya. That's
all I have to say for now
Peace out to my true peeps- that respresent on a constant basis- what "being real" is all about.
"Having freedom for the first time, doesn't mean you have the right to
abuse it with poor decisions. For those who have freedom are the ones
that truly understand the gift they have to make strong decisions and
let those decisions reflect back on them just how responsible, smart,
respectiful and very strong of people they truly are. Shine like
them! Not only will you be recognized as a glowing star, but also will
be trusted by many more than you know as a mature, honest and
trustworthy person. That is something that money could never buy, but
that words past on, could destroy in a heartbeat! Look to those
for advice who make you look at the good inside of you and make you
feel good in your heart, mind and soul. They will help guide you in the
right direction. Think about the people you depend on now..... What
does their future entail, are they on the right path? Has your life
improved surrounding yourself with them? Have you grown closer to your
family and things you love with them? Do they enhance the best parts of
you? Do they make your family and friends see a whole nother side of
your beauty?
Or do they just present disonence? Do they put you in poor situations?
Do they represent you poorly amongst your family and friends? Do you
feel you have to hide secrets along with them? Do you feel pulled away
from your family and friends when you are with/talk to them? DO
YOU FEEL PULLED AWAY AND DISTANT FROM YOURSELF? EVALUATE!!!!!!!!! We
all do!!! I am not just speaking of boyfriends!!! I am speaking of
friends, neighbors, family, etc... You are only as good of a person,
friend, love, family member, etc... AS the people you surround yourself
with. If you don't think it would be appropriate for a little sister,
parent, relative, friend, neighbor to hang out and do things you are
doing with you, then it probobly isn't appropriate, becaise NOBODY will
care and support you more than your family WHO HAS and will always be
there for you!!!! Trust in yourself! I KNOW I TRUST IN YOU! AND ALWAYS
ALWAYS ALWAYS WILL! WE CAN'T GROW TOGETHER IF WE CAN'T TRUST IN ONE
ANOTHER! LOVE YOU,
-J#1
