Looking out even when it doesn’t look like they’re looking out

What makes a good neighbor?

The neighbors of today are a lot different than the neighbors that I knew as a child I knew my neighbors names and their parents everyone on my street we talk to each other we were friends with each other we looked out for each other no one could come on our street without us paying attention or noticing what was happening we made sure everyone was safe even have one of our neighbors went on vacation and something happened to their house our neighbors would let each other spend the night until we got the house together we were that close so to me what makes a good neighbor is someone that you can always know they are there even when you don’t realize they are there they are paying attention to you and you are paying attention to them you are your neighbors friend and not your neighbors gossiper.

What principles define how you live?

The principles that grew up with was always be loyal, be transparent, and be as honest as possible have integrity, and everything that you do, and don’t mislead people, because being misleading can cost you your life always let people make their own choices. Don’t take the choice from them because it’s not fair and it’s not right And they can hurt you in more ways than one when you devote yourself to something follow through because when you follow through more than likely when the tables turn around and you need someone they will follow through for you don’t give to receive give just because because those things Matter the most and it always comes back around and one way or another always have faith and know that things will work out. It might not be the way you see it but it will be the way it needs to be because things always work out in my favor Weather now or later and never give up no matter how bad it looks or how it seems and even if it looks as if everything is going wrong and everyone is against you because it might be 100 knows where are you in 1000 it only takes one gas to make all the difference And I know that yes it’s coming so these are the principles I live by and I haven’t messed yet. I falling down and I’ve been down for a while but I always get back up.

Understanding why!

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I have been fighting Social Security for over six years now and for the life of me I have been in a fog just going through the motions every day trying to figure out what The next step is to get my life back in order which direction to go or whether to just cut my losses and do what I know best to do and every time I start to go in that direction I feel like I am on the brink of, doing something that will turn my life upside down if I go that route because making rash choices in my life in the past has cost me greatly and I don’t wanna do it again even though I don’t regret those choices I don’t want to do them again and end up in a hole bigger than I’ve ever been in even though I’m not happy in the situation I’m in right now and I know I don’t wanna be in it for the rest of my life I don’t want to uproot again and start over somewhere else without having my ducks in a row or having a solid plan I don’t want to begin again without at least having everything that I know I came here with because it wouldn’t be right and I would be devastated so I’m trying to understand what it is that I need to do and why I am so hesitant to move forward even though I know I am able to land on my feet and get things done I just don’t feel like I am supposed to go anywhere right now and I don’t understand why so that is why I am trying to figure out why and why it’s taking so long and it’s such a difficult fight to get everything moving forward for me right now why am I being held here.

I am putting off making plans I am really living my life the way that I want to live it actually finding the love that will love me the way that I am used to being loved having someone who is compatible with me who is honest and loving and giving and has roots like I do and who is honorable who I wouldn’t mind taking Home to my mom and who has morals and things of that sort who I can travel with who will cherish me and celebrate me as I would them this is what I’m putting off with the life I’m living right now it’s like my life is shrouded in secrecy because of who I am with and what I’m dealing with and I’m tired of living in shame. I am a family oriented person and I want the person who I am with to be family oriented as well I love my family and I love traveling I don’t want to be just one of many I am the one and that is how it should be so this is what I’m putting off and I don’t want to continue that for much longer.

I was 18 years old and:

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

I was always a homebody and my mom always told us to be in the house by dark when we were little. One thing you never wanted to hear is her calling your name ever or you were in big trouble. When we got older she got more lenient and we could stay out a little later like 9 or 9:30 unless we were going to church or something then there was no time limit cause church was like a marathon. This one Wednesday night I had just turned 18 in September I was feeling so big and grownup like I could do anything I wanted to I had met this man who was pursuing me really hard I invited him to church and he came my naïve behind thinking he is really into me this lying 35 claiming he is 22 then 28 years old man had my 17 then 18 years old nose wide open. I got out of church and me being all grown now was going to walk home with him at night it was a great walk even if it cast me my senior activities due to the child that came from me being so damn grown. You live and you learn.

Speaking things into existence watching them happen and enjoying the resistance

On By L Corelle GreenIn black family, family, making money, narcissist, People, Relationships, self love, travel, weight loss journey, WomenLeave a comment

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

I have always been a dream or a person that likes to write and a person who likes to think and then I became a person who likes to speak so the things that I would write down I started seeing them aloud and watching them happen around me. I would always see things like a person who didn’t agree with what I saw or what I had said say it’s not because of what I said that this thing happened but I knew that it was because of what I said that it came about because of the sequence of events that took place that made it happen and it would make me chuckle because I didn’t knew that how it happened the process of what happened wouldn’t have happened like that if I hadn’t said it like that so I became a habit of mine to speak it into existence and watch it happen I’ve always been an optimist and I enjoy being an optimist because things always work out in my favor even when it doesn’t look like it. There’s always room for a win and since I’m a winner I always win in the end so my hobby is winning and writing about what I won. Whether that is weight loss Money understanding or peace of mind there are always little wins in everything.

The company I keep the people I hold dear

On By L Corelle GreenIn black family, inconsiderate,, narcissist, People, Relationships, self love, travel, weight loss journey, WomenLeave a comment

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Sometimes the people in my life who I find myself sharing my life with or not the best company the little details that mattered to me the most are not held in high esteem, and it seems to bring my vibration down like if I want to celebrate an accomplishment that I feel is important You would think someone who is supposed to be your biggest cheerleader would also be your biggest fan as well but sometimes that person is only there to be your devils advocate, and be the one to always try and tell you that they are the realist or the pessimist in your life And it doesn’t help you get anywhere when you just want somebody to talk to you instead of constantly give you that underhanded backhand that you wasn’t looking for or that you didn’t need

I have learned to pay attention to those small details, and no win to stop giving details to people who were only give back. I needed rhetoric instead of needed conversation. I now talk to people who give me considerate confirmation even if it’s constructive criticism, the objective word is constructive, and it’s necessary not unnecessary always giving with love not sarcasm and I can appreciate that.

Songwriting, teaching, parenting skills

On By L Corelle GreenIn black family, family, my family, People, travel, WomenLeave a comment

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

If money didn’t matter, the three jobs that I would love to have with B writing music about life that incorporates circumstances about happy times sad times, meaningful moments and real life events. The second job or a career would be teaching people how to appreciate life skills and finishing what they start Jobs like that would encourage folks to actually finish school and pursue life skills. That would help them get further in education or in financial aspects of life my third would be teaching or helping teenagers the importance of sticking to their goals for when they become parents not all of a sudden, just dropping what their parents taught them, but actually paying attention to what is important about their parents life and what made them the way they are, and growing from that that way they are able to teach their children how to make it through hard times in life instead of not learning any lessons, and then rebel against them when they get older and especially learning about leaving a legacy because there are so many people in this world now, who have nothing to show for their life who have no legacy whatsoever, and whose name dies with them And I hate that that happens in today’s society. I truly believe no one should be forgotten, and every person deserves to live on through their family their children and the future and people forget how important that is when they only think about themselves and what they want at that moment or their feelings at the time.

Mostly, Reputable brands like home and garden Corelle black owned

On By L Corelle GreenIn adventure, family, making money, People, self love, travel, WomenLeave a comment

What brands do you associate with?

If I look at it and it has some kind of class about it, I’ll go with it if I know it’s going to have lasting quality and it has been around for a while something that will stand the test of time. I used to tell my kids when they were be talking about the latest fad that they were going with I would always tell them. This thing will be around for a little bit a time and it will fade away but the kind of stuff that I use or I get well always be around like Hanes or fruit of the loom and those things are still around till today, you don’t see too many of the others that were popular during my kids days I’ve always liked Corelle dishes but also silverware has always been around when I see things that are classy and have flavor to them. Those are the things that I run with because I know they won’t shrink they don’t break easy and they last a lifetime like Tupperware.

Another thing that I enjoy our classic books and music. Those stand the test of time as well.

Always follow your first mind

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

I have always been around people who have wisdom beyond their years who would always tell me never second guess the first thought you had about a situation that you found yourself in. That feeling that you get when you know something isn’t right but you try to justify it And make it be right and things just keep going wrong and getting worse the longer you try to stay in it or try to keep doing it that person that you don’t want to meet your family or that venture that you want to keep a secret because you know it is a get rich quick scheme that will probably not work. Your first mind tells you don’t do it but you push that aside and listen to the person in your ear who is saying it’ll be OK and then all fails and you realize I should’ve follow my first mind, so I realize now that first voice that I hear is always the right one to listen to because if no one is going to look out for me, I will always look out for me and I know me best one thing I know for sure is, I won’t fail me no matter what is going on and I always have fun with me even when no one else is around.
