Weeds=No Harvest

A harvest cannot take place until you get rid of the weeds.
— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) December 24, 2015

Many farmers know they need to get rid of the weeds in order to have the best harvest possible. Weeds make the harvest look messy because you have this beautiful garden with all these fresh vegetables & fruits, but there's an equal number of weeds. That's like Jesus & Satan trying to be cool with each other, and that's NEVER going to happen. What does a smart farmer/gardener do? They use Weed-Be-Gone or any other type of weed removal fertilizer to get rid of weeds before they have a chance to manifest. It's the same with someone trying to attract a potential spouse.
We live in a fallen world, I understand that. Because we live in a fallen world, life experiences can sometimes create weeds in our lives. If a person's trying to find their soulmate, they may (not) be honest about the weeds (junk) in their lives. A harvest cannot take place until you get rid of the weeds, otherwise your garden will look crazy because you have beautiful, fresh produce mixed in with weeds & nobody has time for that. Now, some hunters are willing to fertilize a potential partner's lives to create a beautiful garden, but that takes work and how many of us are willing to put in that kind of work for the garden we want? Not many, if at all.

Loss Around The Holidays: By Crissy N. Jones

I like promoting others' writing on my blog website.

Crissy N Jones

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.

#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
