Simply put

I have been asked to clarify one of the comments I made in my post on January 25th. I wrote being fearless is.."I simply love you".

The response was, "people say I love you all the time". And that is true. However, in my innocence I use to think that love had no outside challenges. Who would challenge love right. Where they doing that at? But I realized that people will go to great lengths to keep love apart and that's only one aspect. How about what it takes to be great and strong all while still being able to be intimate and soft. I've learned it's not always easy, neither is it encouraged. And so it takes being fearless to love when everything is against having love and being in love.

Look at this video. Being good at what you do and the ability to be vulnerable when you are taught to be strong.

With this example you see great pain, risk and loss that comes with being vulnerable. However, many who have felt like this women have never verbalized it. No, they carry it with them for years resting on their spirits, the wound re-opened every time something like it happens again. Or better yet, they just don’t go there they are strong. So to me being fearlessly individual is just as much about being strong and powerful as it is expressing great love, hurt, pain even when at times cultural confinements don’t want to liberate you to do so; people make it hard. You are damned if you do or if you don’t, but you know that to be vulnerable and intimate is apart of being fearless. Please know that I mean this in the most respectable way. But being able to make a difference in the world, dream, create, and be happy, pray to my God, go home run my husbands bath, feed him , and cry when he’s not there. That’s the fearless in love I’m talking about.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps. To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes wide...

Back to School and kind gestures

So I think we're in to the swing of things. Children have an idea of teacher's expectations are and teachers have done a few assessments on their students and where their strengths and weaknesses allow. You're past the back to school jitters and have begun to actually build on the learning and education you received last year. This is why this post isn’t really amount the traditional aspect of education but about character building. I know it's a sensitive subject at times but it's time to observe and correct our children in terms of behavior. For those of you who don't have to do it it's wonderful you've probably done a great job in those early years and it's second nature for a student to think about their behavior and how they represent their family away from home. If I can digress for a minute, growing up that was a big conversation piece at our dinner table. We were always told when you walk out that door you represent our family. I don't ...
