Loss Around The Holidays: By Crissy N. Jones

I like promoting others' writing on my blog website.

Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season. It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at Christmas. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares.

Truest Stuff I've Ever Said

Honestly, I manage to outdo myself on my tweets. Just when I think I can't get anymore real, lo & behold I outdo myself. That's the mark of a good blogger, always making sure content stays fresh, which I do. Anyway, let me post my top tweets:

This tweet was so good, I pinned it.

The problem with society today is the lack of shame and personal accountability for being, living, and looking reckless.

No Indictments in Sandra Bland's case & folks still on R.Kelly & Steve Harvey. The media sure knows how to distract folks.

It's coming up to New Year's Resolution time, where people make the same resolutions and don't fulfill them.

I think it looks silly if half of your status contains hashtags, but it's not my business.

Some people better pray they never make a mistake, because as soon as they apologize, some folks will never let it go.

Thought For Today: 12/22/15

Thought For Today:

Many people talk a good game about wanting peace of mind, but very few back it up. What I mean is that many people are scared to X toxic people out of their lives because they think they're being selfish by actually putting THEIR desire for peace over overlooking someone's "flaws". I'm not afraid to X toxic folks out of my life, and I don't care who's slighted. I'm not trying to give some people repeated green lights to keep subtracting from my life. If that makes me selfish, I embrace that all the way. There's nothing wrong with putting yourself first.

RHOA: Miami Pt. 2

Last night's RHOA was a redo of the Miami trip, so these tweets will center around that. Oh, and some of my tweets will go in on Phaedra so let's get to it.

Kenya is constantly "protecting herself" since she's been on the show #RHOA

— Jasmyne Williams (@adifferentjas) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Cut the crap Kim, you left because you didn't want to be there from the start and was looking for an excuse to leave.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

Phaedra is really crying about Tammy's nephew unjustly being seen as "aggressive" when he was threatening people and pushed his aunt. #RHOA

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA How about letting your kids see their dad Phaedra? That's too much like right, even if he is locked up.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Phaedra you were scared of Apollo, same behavior.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

If I shake that wig will hornets come out? Skate on out of here #rhoa

— KENYA MOORE (@KenyaMoore) December 21, 2015

#RHOA The smartest thing Kim could have done: LEAVE.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Watch everyone say it's Kenya's fault. He was snippy with Kenya, snapped at Kandi then pushed his aunt. He would have hit Kenya.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA This is what happens when you invite randoms #PoorDecisions

#RHOA Queen of THOT-Land? Only place Porsha will ever reign as a Queen! #Fact #RHOA

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Porsha being thottish, what else is new?

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Kim should be on Sesame St.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 21, 2015

#RHOA Kim Fields should have a box of tissue for every episode with all the crying she does.

Strawberry Letter: Widow Needs Some Good Loving

ICYMI: Widow and Need Some Good Loving | Steve Harvey in the Morning | WDAS

If she's a 44-year old widow and married for 30 years prior to her husband's death, she got married at 14. She needs to learn self love. 30 years married with children; she needs to learn to love and get to know herself so when she finds a man, not one in the bar or clubs, but one whose doing better things with his time, she will be treated right, and will know what she wants. Her daughters think she's disrespecting the memory of their father by acting fast, so I understand them being upset. Mom might want to slow down and take some REAL time to get over her husband's loss because this is not the way to do it.

Stepping On Toes

This tweet is so real, I had to pin it

The problem with society today is the lack of shame and personal accountability for being, living, and looking reckless.

People should not worry about someone praying for their downfall because God WILL NOT answer those prayers.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 19, 2015

People are full of crap to be in their feelings over someone wishing them Merry Christmas. It's "Happy Holidays"😒Is that what we're on? SMH.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 18, 2015

When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

ICYMI: Should I Leave or Let Him Sponsor Me? | Steve Harvey in the Morning | WDAS

ICYMI: Should I Leave or Let Him Sponsor Me? | Steve Harvey in the Morning | WDAS

When I read these Strawberry Letters, the answers are usually inside the letter as to what the person should do. I'm going to shut this down quick, so let's get to it:

“I mean, will it seem like I'm using him? Would I be wrong for doing
that?”… It's the other way around Miss.

“He says he doesnt love me, and doesnt know if he can have a future with me (There It Is, he's not worried about building a life with her)

He cares for me and doesn't want me to leave, because
I'm the good woman he needs in his life (Translation: Let me PLAY
YOU for as long as I can).

He wants me to have his children (which he would want full custody
of) and says that we would be great parents even if we are not together”
(Not only does he have an EXIT PLAN, but he’s laid it out in detail!)

“He is a really nice person, takes care of me and provides
for me like a man should, but he's a liar and cheater” To her, none of that matters).

“Should I pack up and go, or stay and let him continue being my “sponsor”… (sponsor you for what, YOU SPECIAL olympics?)
