Just wanted to share some of the reflection I wrote late last night, stemming from the recent death of Terence Crutcher. Many I know, including myself, have our own personal stories, that thankfully didn't end as so. Continuing to pray for change... 🙏💙 #prayforchange #terencecruthcher #socialinjustice #iknowmyworth #myskintonedoesnotdefineme #iam

Habakkuk 2:2-3 NKJV Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Proverbs 16:9 NKJV A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. #dontworry #havefaith #Godsplan #GodsWill #nothingcanstopyou #briisms #briinspired #inspirationalquoteoftheday

I constantly have to remind myself that my situation is temporary... and as the days go by and birthdays increase, I have to remind myself that my passion and the will of God determines what I achieve and when it will take place. There are a lot of things I need to let go of, a lot of perspectives I need to change, and a lot of love I need to give (to myself). This year will be the beginning of acceptance of mistakes, knowing that they don't define who I am and that they are opportunities for growth... towards the woman I am meant to be. It will also be a year of renewing of the mind... being fearless, being bold, trusting what I cannot see... who cares that I haven't met your timeline, I'm creating my own. #whatyouseeistemporary #befearless #2Corinthians4 #writeyourstory #leaveyourcomfortzone #increaseyourcapacity #sacrifice #presstowardthegoal #ownwhoyouare
Pics that were liked the most, highlight some of the best times this year. Singing bgv for Melissa Sharee, seeing my bro graduate from college and visiting home, dancing with my sister, working for the GRAMMY Foundation, photo shoot with Mike Quain... sometimes we forget all the good times... photos help us capture them and make them lasting memories. #2015bestnine #whyyougottacutmeoffthough #highlightsof2015 #Backgoundvocals #WelcometoRhodeIsland #Quainphoto #RemembertheTime #GRAMMYFoundation #GRAMMYweek2015 #collegegraduate
🎤 Fav part of this song... "...asking me to fix what's broken... open up my heart and then you stole it..." #BestFriend by @itsravaughn #songwriter #singer #lyricswithmeaning #musicislife #allyouneed
They say, "life is too short not to follow your dreams..." just never realized how difficult life would make it to follow those dreams and how convincing life would be to make you question those dreams...
#Repost @iamstevejones Huge difference between the two! Listening expands on hearing, when we pay attention to the meaning of what we hear. Are you hearing, or listening?
#fbf Watching The Wiz Live right now and it reminded me of a poem I wrote on May 31, 2005...
Have you ever seen The Wiz?
Oh no? Let me tell you about it
Cuz I could play all four main roles...
First, there is the Scarecrow
And he has no brains,
Yeah I can relate...
Cuz I can't tell right from wrong
Thought I had all the answers
But too bad I have no brain cells upstairs...
Then there is the Tin Man
Who has no heart,
Guess everyone thinks I'm his relative
Cuz they treat me like my chest is on empty
Only difference is what he wants
I wish I could rid of,
So I would never have to feel all this pain deep inside...
There's the Lion
Longing for all the courage in the world.
If anything, he is my brother
Cuz I can't face anything alone.
Might as well hold my hand,
And take me on your journeys
Cuz I can't handle my own.
And last, but not least
There's my girl Dorothy,
Praying and wishing to go home.
I know I want to get away from here
But I don't know where else to go.
They say home is where the heart is,
So where is my home
If I have no heart?
And will I ever find it
Since I don't have the courage to search...
Never mind that,
Cuz without brains
I don't know where to start.
So yeah, like I said in the beginning
I have every role down pat,
They should've called me up for auditions
Cuz every role would have come natural to me
There's definitely no need to act.
