To Write LOVE

I just found this out when looking through my pages that today is the official "To Write Love On Her Arms" day for the entire world. This cause is extremely close to my heart. It is a non profit organization dedicated to presenting HOPE and finding help for those stuggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. And as you can see here, right above, is a great example of how one leads into another. I, unfortunetly, have delt with all four.

Hope is extremely hard to find when you can't get out of bed in the morning due to depression. And Hope is hard to find when you lay down at night and say your passive death wish to not wake up over and over. Hope is hard to find when you are so down and out you turn to drugs to get through the day. Hope is hard to see when self injury/cutting is the only way you can find any kind of joy. And HOPE is VERY hard to find when your mind is on the fast track of finding a way to end your life and writing suicide letters to your family and friends.

Okay I am horribly crying right now but it's just so crazy to believe that just one year ago, that was my life. I HAVE NO IDEA how I made it. All I have to say is that there must have been the best team of angels watching over me because for some reason I made it through.....once again. I have suffered through 12 years of on and off severe depression. I can't believe this is my life now. I sometimes pinch myself when I wake up because can't believe I am getting to feel this happy and alive and filled with love.

As for today, I have been 8 months happy, 25 pounds heavier, and I wake up with a smile on my face. I discovered having love in your life is all that really matters and sharing your stories can save peoples lives. Today is your day to tell your story. Please give someone Hope today. A will to live. The goal today is to write LOVE on your arm and post it. It lets us see that there are others that have dealt with this or know someone that have. I did it and I hope everyone sees it!!!

This is in dedication to: All of the amazing people I spent two months with living it up at COPE and my psychiatrist at the hospital, Dr. Danko, who managed to save my life. Maggie, Emily, Joahana, Jen, Kate G., Kate P, Em, Kaylie, Kara, Noreen, Jamie, Liz, Melanie, Jessica, Isabella, Ashley, Leah, Shelly, Tiffany, Madelyn, etc. I'm soo sorry if I left anyone from COPE out if I did you can scream at me.

I also want to dedicate this to my beautiful friends who sent me endless love and many visits: Michelle, Whitney, Tera, Bekah, Allison, Blare, Carolyn, Lara, Whitney B., Katie, Laura, Talia, Ryan, Julie, Mike, and Aaron.

Keith-This is to you.

In memory of Scott Connors. Suicide Victim and little brother to my best friend Allison. They are my family.

Peace and Love

Bootylicious?

Beyonce has been keeping busy in Greece. She had a press confrence that her mother attended, but her father was nowhere in sight. She received a gold paque for all three of her solo albums, and lastly she did a photoshoot for her Dereon clothing line in a yellow dress. The only thing left to wonder is where is the jelly?

Beyonce is a stupid person

CAIRO: In a shocking display of poor diplomacy, Egypt’s chief Egyptologist Zahi Hawass allegedly called American pop-star Beyonce a “stupid person” during her brief tour of the Giza pyramids earlier this week. Writing in al-Shorouk newspaper, Summer al-Gamal said that Hawass became fed up with the pop star’s attitude after she did not show the interest Hawass felt was deserved of the pyramids.

According to Gamal, during Hawass’ self-guided tour, he said “I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamen,” but then his anger and frustration made its way to the forefront.

“Then he stopped being diplomatic and said in anger, ’she’s a stupid person and she doesn’t understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand’,” wrote Gamal.

Hawass is known for his outbursts. A number of foreigners have told Bikya Masr that he has employed Arabic to insult others at dinner events and gatherings, believing the non-Egyptians will not understand his Arabic. Beyonce, obviously, did not understand his jabs, Gamal said.

“She’s coming here to take pictures and that’s it,” Gamal quoted Hawass as saying.

He then assigned one of his assistants to take the American star and her entourage to a designed location nearby to shoot the photos. Similar to any high profile guest, pictures by the pyramids have become almost routine. When American President Barack Obama was in Cairo last June, Hawass personally escorted the president around the monstrous pyramids, allowing Obama to have his photo taken on the plateau.

Gamal added that Beyonce did not win over the journalists following her, however, as at least one bodyguard threatened a cameraman with violence if he did not give the pop-star her space. “One of the bodyguards threatened the cameraman, saying he would smash the camera if he continued to film,” Gamal wrote.

The incident has left archaeologists angered. They say it is time to show the world the real Hawass. “He insults and is so controlling that it has become extremely difficult to work in this country,” one archaeologist said.

Hawass’ office did not return phone calls on Thursday morning to discuss the actions of the country’s Supreme Council of Antiquities chief’s comments in front of journalists and Beyonce.

“We are talking about an Egyptian government official and he goes as says something like this? Come on, this is very rude and totally undiplomatic,” said another archaeologist, both of whom asked not to be named as their current work is funded by the council headed by Hawass.

Wale on Solange

DC rapper Wale on Solange in this months Honey Magazine:

"I do love her," he admits of Solange, flashing a Chesire. "We're friends. She's amazing. She's a good person. Any single mother contributing to society the way she does - I got a lot of love for them. She's got to do a lot on her own and raise a young black man in this day and age so my hat goes off to her. She's definitely an anomaly and the way she can do that and manage to do the same things that I complain about having to do."

His affection is as obvious as set of flushed cheeks. And impossibly adorable. Wale, the former mixtape rapper from inner city DC, is borderline giddy. "Did you interview Solange about me?" Wale asks. He's sprawled across his bed; head practically buried in the pillow. "Did she smile when you mentioned my name?"

Sounds liks someone has a crush to me
