JUST THINK 100: "Watch What You Sayin"
by SahshaJay

I’d be remiss if the first blog I’ve written in 2012, well in at least 8 months for that matter, weren’t something you can marinate on. Shame on me if what I’m about to tell you isn’t something I’ve learned from past experiences…and shame on you if you run your mouth a little too much!
Within the past week, I’ve had this conversation in depth with two women. Both were torn about situations actively going on their life and both were convinced of how awful the situations were making them feel, yet both seemed unsure about removing themselves from the situation. Not because they instinctually did not know what to do about it, but because other peoples opinion about the issue made them doubt the obvious.
Moms always tell me “watch what you saying and who you saying it too”. What she meant is that most people mean well, but they are not equipped to handle your dilemma in that moment. Opinions should only be asked after you seek wise counsel from the spirit within. Besides, who better to know what to do in your situation than you?
I also told my girls that most peoples' guidance is only based on the limited experiences they’ve had through situations that appear to be similar to yours. The outcome they got from the action they took shouldn’t dictation the direction you go in your situation.
Now don’t get me wrong, I believe people most people want the best for you when they offer you advice, however if their advice conflicts from what your gut (not your mind) tells you, it can cause unnecessary confusion for yourself.
So to review dear friends, always remember that we were built with this amazing question and answer system within us called the The Holy Spirit. Although the answer it may give might have you second-guessing what you received, know that it’s what you should do. Learn to lean on the answer that comes to you from your quiet time before you rely on a quick fix answer from those less qualified to analyze your situation. Like a seed sown before its harvest, words spoken too soon while your feeling torn can reap an infertile crop of confusion. If your quiet time and meditation tell you to reach out to someone for advice, then, you can always come to me (smile)…
Until next time,
Keep it light

REAL TALK:"I'm thinking about Manhood I'm thinking about Fatherhood"

I'm thinking about manhood
I'm thinking about fatherhood
Trying to close my eyes to the lesser examples
They get too much attention anyway
I'm talking about fathers like Burr pops
Men who will do any and everything to make sure their son has what he needs to grow and prosper
And I'm not talking about beating the sissy out of him
Or showing him that playing women is a rites of passage
I'm talking about fathers who teach their sons to respect womanhood
I'm talking bout Pop Sawyer praising Mama Kims mothering skills
Speaking to her divinity, her nurturing nature
My pops who worked 2 jobs
From 5am to 8pm to put food on the table
I'm talking about men who provide for their families
Emotionally, spiritually & financially
I'm talking Papi showing his children what love looked like because he loved his wife so
I'm talking about my grandfather who put away his vices to serve the lord to better serve his family
I'm talking real manhood
Showing emotion because our young daughters need not be accustomed to dealing with cold men
Pop Roop and the Pop D Roop will soon be.
Men who know how to show love to other men and build that support group so we can reach higher heights together
Men who aren't insecure if they're not the breadwinner because they understand their role as the head of household is to be a leader of the family
And there's a lot more to leadership than cash
Men who aren't arrogant
Understanding that knowledge is power and they may not always have the answer
Men who set an example of manhood for all it's glory
Showing that strength isn't just brute force but mental fortitude
That bravery isn't an ill fated decision of machismo but knowing when to walk away and protect the fort
I'm talking about manhood
Understanding ones path and looking towards the stars for where we can take it
I'm talking manhood
Being involved in your community
Being a part of the village that raises our next leaders
Teaching our youth to honor our ancestors and traditions
I'm talking about manhood
Because when I was a child I spake as a child
I reasoned like a child
BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN I PUT AWAY ALL CHILDISH THINGS.

HISTORY LESSON: "The Tuskegee Airmen ,The Red Tails "
via Wikipedia
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military aviators in the United States armed forces. Formally, they were the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps and were made up primarily of African-Americans but there were also five Tuskegee Airmen that were of Haitian descent.
The term "Red Tails" came about after the pilots painted the tails of their P-51's red.
Currently in theaters the movie "Red Tails" brings their story to the big screen.It is directed by Anthony Hemingway, from a screenplay by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder with George Lucas as executive producer. The film was originally going to be a long narrative but after several drafts, Lucas opted to focus on the combat aspect of their story to show their heroic efforts in the war.
