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.

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say

Movie Watch

Keep the reel running. Just kidding kinda. Actually I say that because I was not a big TV person(literally). It was not uncommon for several weeks to go by with out me turning it on. But I've probably watched more TV this year than I have ever. That being said, I've learned a few things. TV has given me a different perspective on life. Not entirely but enough to learn something. Of course some of the greatest fun I've had is identifying what I like and don't like about the films and why. Some lessons learned have come out of the most unsuspecting shows. Here's something interesting to do, think about the movies and TV shows you've seen this year and think about how they have made you ponder during the 1st decade of the 21st Century. Here's one of the realizations I've discovered in 2010. People can be reckless with the lives of others. And after having learned that, here's the reality check I got in my own life- those who are reckless in their ca
