Okay, Tay Tay~ 

Why if you don’t listen to this Soul filled album, “The Life of A ShowGirl” by Taylor Swift, you're missing out on experiencing History in Real Time. This is 2026 Album of the Year. 

 Everyone is different, so don’t judge me-I started listening to “The Life of A ShowGirl” with the song, “Wood” as I heard it was talking about Taylor Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce’s wood. Who wouldn’t be interested in hearing about Travis’ wood and in song? Travis is fine! 

 If ‘TAYVIS’ has to be born for creativity that birthed an album like this, I do NOT object! Actually, I whole-heartedly agree and support their efforts. 

“All that bitchin, wishing on a fallen star never did me any good, I ain’t got to knock on wood. It’s you and me forever dancing in the dark.” 

Tay Tay serenades her man and lets her listeners into the intimacy of a relationship we’ve all witnessed. Tay Tay is a grown-women now! Ya’ll, as an auntie, I feel like I watched her grow-up. She said, “Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet (mmmm) to know a hard rock is on the way.” The word play here is sick! I think I heard something about “The curse on me was broken by your magic wand, & I ain’t got to knock on “Wood.” She talks about being superstitious, until he touches her hand. 

“Redwood Tree ain’t hard to see” and I understand clearly what she means, if you’ve ever seen Travis on the football field you get it too, and I am so jealous….. Tay Tay even talks about “Manhood, New Heights” from the clowns she used to deal with Travis is a real man. This one song from “The Life of A Showgirl’s” entire album-hooked me! I hadn’t even listened to the rest of the album-yet. This never happens to me! At this point, I should have went to the beginning of the album, nope. I didn’t want to cut-off the song toooo soon, 

“His love was the key that opened my thighs." 

 And Cancelled! Came on! Taylor has grown into womanhood, and yes, “womanhood” is a thang. Ask any old-schooled auntie. The Soul from this album is core dropping. I mean something soulful drips from this album into sound waves, vibrates the eardrum and skips right to the Soul. I dare you to play “Cancelled” and NOT DANCE. Your body forces you to move. I can’t tell if I hear a violin, or a Harp? I know the guitar in the beginning-jammed, keeps the body struck by rhythm and cord. The beat is soooo Soul catching. 

“Like my whiskey sour and poisoned thorny flowers.” 

Tay Tay is taking us through a fantasy world where everyone is accepted, allowing people to be who they are, unafraid to authentically display and rejoicing in sharing “matching scars.” 

 “Good thing I like my friends cancelled, I like’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal.” 

Tay Tay describes “Welcome to my underworld where it gets quite dark.” Warning, “Beware the wrath of masked crusaders.” Seeing this under-world could “break your heart.” The way this song grabs something deep inside: Twisting and pulling one's core to dance, to move. 

-Random: It sounds like a harp playing while Tay Tay provides wisdom to her listeners, 

“But if you can’t be good, then just be better at it. Everyone’s got bodies in the attic or took somebody’s man, we’ll take you by the hand, and soon you’ll learn the art of never getting caught.” 

I finally, realized, I needed to, had to go-listen to this album from the beginning. Taylor Swift is blessed with the gift of crafting. So, I already know she took great time placing each song in a creative order which matches her creative flow, creating a world as we listen, as we travel to the next auditory stimulation. We don’t need to create a world to her words; she does that for us. Just as this song has a story, I can’t wait to experience the songs together, and how each one builds into “The Life of A ShowGirl. 

 “And now you know exactly who your friends are, (you know who we are) we’re the ones with matching scars.” ~ Taylor Swift

I Don’t Hate Anything But These Things

 I Hate Xfinity

and all the companies who try to gauge 

the pockets of hard working people. 

Internet should be free. 

I Hate Tesla

Not because he gave free internet to Ukraine 

when they were suffering-

What about those who invest in his companies,

who are also at war due to inflation. 

What a heart-wrenching realization. It took 

me seven years to be able to afford a Model Y. 

Just to think, those on top who we celebrate, 

who refuse to trickle there blessings below. 

and it’s because of us that they stay mounted-prostrate.

Pricks, if you get my drift.

I Hate Lutheran Hospital

and all the hospitals that take advantage of the sick.

The cost of just one life is priceless, not the price-

tag left when they leave your office. 

I hate with a passion hospitals who tracks down the 

sick with bag men in suites that drag you into

court. Humiliating your weakness through a Judge

who decides in favor of the bigger company where

Your hard-earned money should go. 

No one should

be allowed to be sued 

for medical bills. Wouldn’t 

one pay them if they could!

What is going on in this

cold and lonely world?

I Hate Synchrony Bank

how does it make sense to sky rocket 

interest rates on the lower social economic!?

The higher interest should be reserved

for the rich, at least you’d collect that shit!

What is going on in this

cold and lonely world?

Why Does God Thunder?

Why does God thunder?

The small applause grows into boisterous chatter

The cleansing of it all so pure

So,

Why does God thunder?

A light reminder 

Magnificent in music

Playing all over the world

In different cords

Why does God thunder?

How beautiful He is

I imagine on the day He returns

It will thunder

As His feet place themselves on bare ground

He’s always been a giant among us

His movements will flow like a comfortable breeze 

From the sweet smell of a floral arrangement 

Some will fall to their knees in prayer

And those that do not believe will believe

So,

Why does God thunder?

Amusement is not the objective

So clear we’ve all been taught 

God’s thunder is love

And His lightening is disquieted equanimity-

And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. ~Exodus 19:19~

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven ...~Revelation 10:1-11~

Don’t Give Up On Your Dreams

Maybe the passion isn’t there anymore.  Something, I’ve wanted so badly has turned into a curse of something I’m tired of working so hard to obtain.  It’s like having my heart broken all over again -like the first time.  Is giving up so bad?  Maybe, what I believe in my core soul is not my true destiny.  Then why do I want it so badly?  Hey, we don’t always get what we want in this life.  That’s what my great-grandmother said when I told her I’d hire a maid when I grew-up.  Frustrated- this time at not wanting to clean my room.  Her rebuttal was “welfare don’t give out maids.”  She was half wrong, I’m not on welfare.  Am I too keep trying when I continue to half-fail?  I hear all the greats in my head saying “never give up.”  I’m pretty sure there is someone in this world that kept trying until the last breathe left there lungs, and still no success.  Do they regret it?  I will never know.  What about those who seem to acquire their dreams with minimal effort?  I mean that is what is portrayed in the media, and in society.  I understand that I am old enough to know better, but somewhere in whatever normal had become; the lines have become so blurred in this world that reality seems fake and fake news seems real.  How can someone distinguish between the two?  How does someone know when to throw in that proverbial “white towel?”  What is the defining line?  Who will take that chance on me?  So many greats were told that they were never enough or had potential.  I mean a guy said “no” to Queen!  I’m no Queen, and maybe with some guidance and the courage of an experienced expertise in writing, I could be.  On which line should I stand?  Is it the grammatically errors that disgust the reader or the great content that keeps them engulfed?

Wait Patiently

God Said

Wait patiently,

Like Abraham and Sarah for Issac

Wait patiently 

Like Jacob wanting to wed Rachel

Wait patiently 

Like the Israelites for the day they fled Egypt 

Wait patiently

Like Hannah for the birth of Samuel

Wait patiently

Like Joesph reuniting with his family

Wait patiently 

Like David in the mist of Saul’s rage

Wait patiently 

For an answer to all prayers

Wait patiently 

God hears them all

Wait patiently 

Even in the middle of a storm

Wait patiently 

God is there

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."~Romans 12:12~

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”~Psalm 37:7~

“Jesus replied, ‘You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.’ ”~John 13:7~

Happy Mother’s Day

Their really are no words or ways to say “thank you” to a mother.  A woman who sacrifices so selflessly in times of joy and in times of great peril.  A woman who keeps a steady hand while trying to make sure food is on the table, appropriate clothing are on our backs and integrity is coursing through our souls.  “Thank you” just doesn’t seem to suffice when evil penetrates the mind and mama has the words of encouragement, or disappointment occurs and mummy has the insight to inspire.  What can you say to ma who gives everything of themselves for our success?  The only options are to try our hardest to say “thank you” by working everyday to be the best version of ourselves.  Putting into action all the wisdom instilled over and over in the hippocampus that is now stored in the cortex. I have found that being the best version of myself puts a smile on her face, resounding that all the late nights up with us sick, all the elementary music concerts attended after a long day of work, through all the ups and downs of our sometimes rebellious lives, were well worth it for mommy.

“The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.” ~Genesis 3:20~

“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.’” ~Proverbs 31:28-31~

“And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.” 
~Luke 2:5~

How Do You See God?

Some might see this as just eggs in a pan. 
I see this as God saying He loves me too!

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

~Isaiah 41:10~
