Brown Skin, 6'3", 260 lbs, Hazel Eyes, Beautiful Smile

Thank you God,

For this man ... he's absolutely beautiful ... his tight, taunt skin, ripped abs, strong arms, hard legs and even more importantly ... a man of God. Hallelujah!!!!

Thank you God,
Yo



Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then:oh hey:

Where are your people from? Maybe Mississippi or an Island
Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice

Every time I see your lips, it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy

Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then:oh hey:

Every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I cant get out
Disoriented, I cant tell my up from down
All I know is that I wanna lay you down

Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/i/india.Arie-lyrics/brown-skin-lyrics.html)
Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
Come back to earth and then we do it all again
Yeah:..

Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then:oh hey:

Skin so brown, lips so round
Baby how can I be down?
Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me wanna get next to you, yeah

Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then:oh hey:

Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then:oh hey:

A King and A Wife: Proverbs 31

Sayings of King Lemuel
1 The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!
3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [b]A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Ermea "EJ" Russell, Attorney, Judge, Joke

God,

Forgive me for the vengeful spirit inside me for this woman. What possible explanation will she offer the Mississippi Bar Association's Committee on Professional Responsibility? Negligence. Malpractice.

What a disappointment I find her to be. Irresponsible.  She failed to respond to FEMA's calls and communications. She failed to file responses, if any, timely. I just don't get her ... with the successes why would she treat or worse, mistreat, her client(s). So many, as I should have, jumped her ship and sought other representation.

What was Governor Barbour thinking? Well, I'm leaving any way so I'll pardon murderers and put this ... on the bench. LOLOL ...

God, I really don't understand ... you can find out, a matter of public record, if a doctor, a childcare provider and what other professions are we, as private citizens, able and do file complaints of poor professional conduct and have it to be part of a public record. What makes attorneys and judges immune to such scrutiny. I asked the Mississippi Bar if Ms. Russell had any other complaints filed against her .... The response, "We sorry but that information is confidential and not a matter of public record." WHY? So, someone looking into her or any legal representation decision making on matters of integrity and ethics, the public is uninformed and left vulnerable.

With much regret but very necessary ... having to file a complaint against the first black woman appointed to Mississippi's Appeals Court.

I do pray that the Lord will relieve me of this boulder.

Love you Lord,
Yo

Hurdle Two .... and Over!

Hello Lord,

The past two days .... incredibly stessfull but I survived. Thank you.

Dorian being locked up for Failure to Appear! Traffic tickets!!!! He's learning. His girlfriend bailed him out. This is the first time I haven't had to put up the money. Thank you.

FEMA's deposition done. Ms. Russell represented me well. Thank you.

44 came by the store to say good-bye .... 5-weeks ... the life of a soldier. Not the way I wanted to say good-bye. It's better than him leaving and not seeing him at all.

Past 90 days, as of October 24th, I am wondering how he's feeling about me.

I have invitations to dinner but have declined. In the past, I would have considered as a potential transfer point. Bail from the unsure! Start fresh with the brand new feeling of relationship and attraction.

44 said the first 90 days are when you experience the euphoria of the new person, new attraction, heightened sexual energy and lust ... then the shiny starts to dull and you begin to see the person as they really are ... are they deal breakers???? or points of negotiation, compromise or simply a communication message yet to be communicated. I hope to have a conversation with 44 when he returns.

I'm reading a book entitled, "His Need, Her Needs .. Building an Affair Proof Marriage. Basically, it keeping the feeling you felt the 90 days for the duration of the relationship. Securing "the relationship" will be for the rest of one's life. I want the dinner dates to be with him, the intimate conversations to be with him, disappointments and achievements with him, the name placed in the spot "In Case of Emergency" All of that ... for him.

Lord, you have kept me close my entire life. Thank you.

With all my heart,
Yo

44 & Counting

Good Morning God,

First let me thank you for all that you do for me. All that you've done and will continue to for one of your fledgling ... Can you be this @ 50 ... I think so ....I hope so.

44 has my stomach is knots ... better said, putting the responsibility where it belongs ... I have my stomach in knots when it comes to 44. His birthday is Thursday .... I guess I'll be calling him 45 :)

God, I so don't trust my judgement when it comes to men and relationships.

I think Sean may be correct in some way or another when he expressed his fear that when I begin to feel some adversity in the relationship or with the person ... I bail! Gone out the door. Cut my losses before I am in too deep.

But there is where I want to be ... deep in love .... To have that emotional security. Perhaps that's why Chicago and I became such good friends ... he always had an ear and shoulder available for me and without judgement. Chicago would always say ... I not here because of how you feel about me, it's about how I feel about you.

Having longterm relationships ... two ..... one in my twenties which gave me Casini and Dorian and then the other in my thirties resulting in Isaac and Maurie. Really didn't prepare me for the life commitment that I am desiring.

I'm not sure how much to talk to 44 about, how much to share, how much to expose ... I'm back to desiring the place or space for emotional security within the context of the relationship.

What I have done ... is not bailed. I want to talk it out. I want to know his thoughts.

Women do like to talk. We want him to actively listen. 44 does. I glad of that. His Needs ... Her Needs devotes an entire chapter on it.

44 will be gone for 5 weeks. Perhaps I will know more upon his return ...

I have to find a hobby or interest so I'm not making this man my world. I don't want to smother him or lose my own individuality.

God, a pray for peace of spirit and fulfillment.

Love you always,
Yo
