Writing is my Passion, my Joy, my Love...

Its probably comparable to those cravings experienced by pregnant women,
That undying urge to satisfy and fill your soul with the Only remedy possible...
Writing.
Like 'The Highlander' who seemed to gain strength with every head his powerful sword claimed, I feel just as mighty every time I hold a pen between my fingers...
Well self praise is no praise, So go ahead, yes YOU and see for yourself,,,and By the way,,,Thanks for your support!

Letting Go...




To Let Go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can do it for someone else

To Let Go is not to cut myself off, its the realization I can't control another

To Let Go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences

To Let Go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands

To Let go is not to try to change or blame another, it's to make the most of myself

To Let Go is not to care for, but to care about

To Let Go is not tot fix, but to be supportive

To Let Go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being

To Let Go is not to be in the middle of arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies

To Let Go is not to be protective, it's to permit another to face reality

To Let Go is not to deny but to accept

To Let Go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them

To Let Go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it

To Let Go is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be

To Let Go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future




To Let Go is ti fear less and love more...

Wind Beneath Your Wings

O How the tables turn...


Now that you are in my reach, why the hell am I hesitating??? I want you and I have always wanted you,,,more than Anything.

You know, you always want what you can't have. Could this be the reasoning behind my sudden rush of caution? I do want you, but I actually love the way we are, Imagine that, after what you made me endure, I love the way we are hmmm....
I bet you didn't know that I would have been the last man standing. I'm sure you would have never believed its my face you'd see after the dust has settled, So sure you didn't know you could Always call on me and I would Always answer.
But the question to myself is Why?
I have a warped concept that Pain is Love,,,and this Has to be true, because its the only thing to explain my undying Love and Loyalty that you seem to draw out of me, Guess I don't wanna be a brokenhearted girl...
I think being the wind beneath your wings is better than flying at your side (you don't need a flying mate but you do need the wind beneath your wings)

Now that its My time to shine, am gonna blind your undeserving ass.
I am still to fathom the power you have over me. It seems to be stronger  than Life itself, because it commands every bit of me, the whole me, It leaves room for No one.
It leaves me unsatisfied and always yearning, always searching for more.
Now that power has enveloped me yet again, and yet again I embrace it.
Because It is You, and I Love You,
Because You need me and I need you,
Because It Is Our Destiny.

Destiny

I love you, I love you, I love you...

You are so Not good for me, You hurt me each and every time,
You make me cry when I'm by myself and dream impossible dreams when I sleep.
You make me hate myself when I think of You,
You are the never ending anguish I feel as I wake each day and you're not mine.
The new reality that You have forced me into is at times overwhelming,
At times it's nightmarish, It IS the hardest thing to accept,
The sweetest dream to fade away...




And yet your position still stands...
I guess you'll always be Number One.
I guess I Always Will Love You..
I guess we are indeed bonded by a bond stronger than us both.
A bond that controls us both and draws us both,
From wherever, whoever and whatever.
Because our souls have been planted together...




I wait patiently, quietly, dutifully on Destiny
Because it's there, we will be together.
Its there the story begins,
Its there my rewards lie,
My Justice, My Peace, My Freedom.

For Tenica's Eleventh Birthday 2012...







It's been eleven years since you entered my world,
And I swear,
It's like you just pulled out your wand
And give it it a swirl...

How, Where or What my life would be like is Unimaginable,
If you hadn't been there,
To affect my decisions, change my directions,
To share your visions and aspirations,
In turn, giving me the motivation
To believe in Love.

We've had so many bumps, and thumps
In this short space of time,
And its the way you've stood by me,
 Just assures my mind, that,
Our Bond Will Surely Stand The test of Time.

I Love You, You know this, You Love Me even more.
And that is why, for you my Love I will go to war.
So, as Our Most Merciful and Loving Father grants you another year,
I want to tell you...
"Happy Birthday Baby, 

And Remember, God will Never give You more than your little heart can Bear"
                                                                                                            Love Chenelle xoxo..

The Ups and Downs of Love...


I've been inlove on more than one occasion, and also had my heartbroken on more than one occasion as well, so You'd think, I have a scrap book of Do's and Don'ts, huh, You'd think I'd enter each new affair with more knowledge, skill, and grace than the last...Yeah right.

Each times catches you when you have your guard up, when you've already completed building your sturdy wall so thick around your heart, that all you have to study is aiming straight for the head of every pursuer who even just lingers to long. Next thing you know, He's already behind that wall, actually helping hold your hand steady as you aim...wth!!!
So now, that same thick ass wall ends up trapping you in this new affair, forcing you to fall in love again, and you know you built a freak proof wall, so there's no escaping, So inlove we go again.


Being inlove is so indescribable. It makes you feel beautiful, and purpose filled. It makes days feel meaningful and nights magical. Life looks different, it smells different, it feels different. It feels good,,,all the time.
And that's only when you're inlove, When you're loved back in return, You feel Powerful, you feel Motivated, You feel like Tinkerbell with your pouch of magic dust to sprinkle over anything and everything that doesn't already bend at your will. As focused as you are, somehow you still feel like a kite, flying high, in perfect unison with the breeze, no bigger than that, with the universe.

Being inlove is so indescribable. It makes you feel used and worthless. It can fill your days with stresses, and your nights with worries. Life does indeed look different, smell different, and feels different, It doesn't  feel good...all the time.                                               

You feel so Powerful, that you could rip his head straight off his shoulders, You still feel motivated, this time probably to kill. And Tinkerbell, with her magic dust, is sitting, locked in cage on Captain Hook's bed table. By this time, he had already helped you break down those security walls around your heart, he helped you unpack all your baggage, he had found a place to put your insecurities, and framed your faults, so they went well with the new colour of paint your chose for your life. In other words you're vulnerable and you know it!



You think that stops You? Nope. You love being inlove, you love the way your skin glows, you love the twinkle in your eyes, You love the way every love song talks to you, you love to cuddle up to a good movie, You love his silly jokes, you love his caring touch, you love knowing that everything's gonna be alright when he puts his arms around you, you love his eyes and the way your heart beats faster when you gaze into them, You love his kisses and the butterflies you feel, you love his smile and the way he smells, you love his generosity and thoughtfulness, you love when he takes control so you can relax, you love when he stops what he's doing to listen to you, you love when he understands your 'being a woman' issues(or doesn't make you feel like a maniac at least). And if it stops You miss it.

You find yourself ready and able to endure those horrible days, just so you can get back the amazing ones.

That Moment


I am a Powerful Being
Waiting for that moment.
That moment to Be what I was Born to Be.
Finally, I'll finally Be Free.
That Moment is almost here, I feel it, I dream it,
I want it more than it wants Me.

I have accepted The Truth
So no longer will I be mute,
No longer will I be confused,
Used or Abused 
For something I didn't choose.
It Is what It Is.

It has begun...Again
But this time I will not be ashamed
I will not deny my Destiny
I will Be, with or without You
Next to me.
So it was in the Beginning,
So shall it Be in the End!

The Ugly Duckling


I believe I have a fair understanding of the way life works, it took me an entire 27 years to reach this point, and I am happy, I won't say I wish I knew what I know now, back whenever, But if I could rewind time, I would have done things alot different, but its my life, my circumstances, trials, struggles, that make ME who I am, And I know I don't always make the right choices, but I always make the best choice at that moment.

They say age brings reasoning, and that is 100% true. If u believe that I am that same misunderstood teenager searching for her identity in this life, you're wrong. If you want to judge me on my past mistakes, you can go right ahead,,,What you think, say or feel about me, still will not make me that.

Someone asked me if I regret certain personal decisions and circumstances I've made and been through, as though I should, and actually tried to convince me that I should, because of the consequences I faced as a result, O hell No, I Do Not have regrets, I am a strong, courageous, inspirational black woman, and it was my survival through those trials that made me that way. I've learnt first hand that every action has a reaction, I've learnt to take responsiblity for my actions, I've learnt that who God bless No man shall curse, I've learnt to love myself despite of, I've learnt endurance, I've learnt to make sacrfices. I have learnt pain so I am now open to experience healing, I have learnt sadness, so now I can appreciate happiness, I have been hated so now I know how to Love.

So to you all that label me based on what you've heard(like if I care), or judge me Only by my faults(as if U have none), You do that, I'll just be too busy (enjoying life and sharing it with those that matter) to care. I do Not owe anybody a damn thing, I do Not have to prove anything to anyone. I know Who I am and What I am worth.
To you all who feel like if you're in my shoes, Hold Strong, it Does get better. Remember the story of the "Ugly Duckling" who grew into the most magnificent swan in that entire pond,,,That's You, that's Me, that's Us.
Be proud of You, there is No one else like You and there will Never be again.
