What Is The Meaning Of Beautiful???



Beautiful by Vivian Green

I don't want to waste an entire album on you
I've been there, done that (yeah)
And I don't want to tell who, what, when, where, why and how
Cause who cares
No, nobody cares

But I hope you soon find out how to love
Once upon a time you wanted to learn
I thought I could teach you but you were more afraid
than willing
So when it comes don't push it away
One day you will find it is the greatest gift
And I hope you don't take advantage of it again



Hold her when she wants to be held
Don't yell at her when she's only trying to love you
Take her to her favorite place
more often than not
Don't take her kindness for weakness
'Cause I'm sure she'll love you alot
Support her in all that she does
Don't tear her down, lift her up
'Cause that is the worst thing you can do to someone you love
Put her high on a pedestal and tell her when she looks beautiful
Tell her when she looks beautiful



I used to think that I could not bear you to be with anyone but me
But I been there, done that (yeah)
And since then I have come to think silly of that whole mentality
I still want to find love too
No it won't be with you
I wish for everyone to one day find happiness and love
Including you (yeah)
And I don't want to go into details 'cause I've said enough
And its not my intent to hurt you no

But I hope you soon find out how to love
Once upon a time you wanted to learn
I thought I could teach you but you were more afraid
than willing
So when it comes don't push it away
One day you will find it is the greatest gift (gift)
And I hope you don't take advantage of it again

Hold her when she wants to be held
Don't yell at her when she's only trying to love you
Take her to her favorite place
more often than not
Don't take her kindness for weakness
'Cause I'm sure she'll love you alot
Support her in all that she does
Don't tear her down, lift her up
'Cause that is the worst thing you can do to someone you love
Put her high on a pedestal and tell her when she looks beautiful

Tell her when she looks beautiful

Tell her when she looks beautiful


I have had plenty of songs hit me in my heart and make me cry but this one is hit the right spot. On our vacation from Atlanta last year, I was listening to XM Radio "Heart and Soul" and this song came on. I have always loved Vivian Green but I started listening to the lyrics and I was like wow, this is deep. Tonight while I was listening to my ipod and doing schoolwork, the song came on and instantly I started the waterworks and couldn't stop. I felt like she was talking to the me and wanted to tell whomever hurt me in the past or present how to treat me. She was talking for me...
I have been feeling really underappreciated recently and this song struck a chord. Something I needed to hear even if it was from a song. We are all BEAUTIFUL and it's not always about looks...heart, souls, and spirits come to mind. But sometimes men don't understand that reminding us sometimes makes us feel special...

FROM THICK AND FABOLOUS TO SKINNY MINI...RAVEN'S WEIGHT LOSS

Raven-Symoné: Only I Found Myself Attractive When I Was Heavy
Richard Young/Startraks; Veronica Summers/Splash News Online

When I recently saw the before and after weight loss transformation of 25 year old Disney darling Raven-Symone, I was like WOW!!! Then I remembered when she was on "That's So Raven" and people was like "DANG she's fat" or "That girl ain't missing any meals"...I just thought it was a teenager going thru the weight pains some of us have went thru. I myself was a skinny mini all my life and when I started having kids...I started thicking up. Now I am trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 145 because I want to be healthy and I am a high risk diabetic and I'm almost there with added bonuses :). Enough about me but I was thinking of Raven (who also self-proclaimed herself Thick and Fabolous) as a role model for the young ladies who were not skinny minis and also thick and fab...

Raven looks good and I know stress added to her weight gain and freedom from worrying has added to her weight loss but I just don't want lil girls who look up to her think that she was not beautiful the way she was and feel they have to be a skinny mini...

Tell me what ya'll think??

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE???




Ted Williams by far is the feel good story of 2011...so far!!! I am so excited for him. I want to interview him so bad for this blog...This week has been a whirlwind for him...from the video being posted on You Tube,to being on the Today show, Early Show, Access Hollywood,etc,to finally seeing his mom after 20 years, to getting a job offer by our sorry Cleveland Cavs and other multiple job offers.
Then of course the same media that embrace him is the same one that wants to tear him down... I know all about the rap sheet and what kills me about our news station and everybody else is people make mistakes and they learn from them...dang in my book I wrote there are some things in my past that I am not too proud of but God delivered me from it and I am still here with a purpose...so is Ted Williams!! God is letting all this happen 2 him for a reason!!

He has NEVER denied that he has been in trouble with the law but yet people think they can judge...we are all not perfect and that's what people tend to forget...God forgives!!! This man is trying to get his life together and make it better for him and his children. I am sure him and his ex-wife will work out their differences but I am beyond p***ed because I am sick and tired of the media trying to make him a villian...I know so many people who have been delivered from drugs and alcohol and other vices and they are now living their second chance!!!

This guy's voice is his purpose...he went thru what he did and not he is reaping the benefits of believing in God and knowing it's a better way of life!!! Plus not all homeless people are beggars...that makes me mad when I hear that...I will get into that subject more in another post...but all I ask is not to judge!!!

BASKETBALL WIVES: WHY ARE WE SO OBSESSED??

Ok via my girl Necole Bitchie and VH1 I was able to watch the sneak peek of this week's "Basketball Wives"...SMDH!!! Seriously these chicks are in their 30's and 40's and acting like my 8 year old daughter when she gets pi**ed at her brothers.

So let's go ambush Susie and Gloria and make fun of her and her "non perfect" relationship and her cancelled wedding...ummm ok I thought Shaunie was better than that. Of course I would expect that from Evelyn, Jennifer, and Royce. But maybe it's good that this chapter is closed between them and like Shaunie said "Kick Rocks Gloria"! Then we have the whole Jennifer and Eric "marriage"...why stay in a marriage if you are not happy?? Then later in the season Evelyn and Ochocinco...ummm ok I'm not even going to go there. I am very glad Susie is moving on away from "the b**ches" and hopefully Tami gets some anger management because I have been down with her since the "Real World" days.
But I admit every Sunday between Desperate Housewives and 19 Action News I gotta see these women...better them airing out their dirty laundry than me!!!
