In Other News: Weekend Recap

By Leave a Comment

Ok here is the recap of what was hot (and not) in entertainment this weekend. First up Kelis….that is all that I will say lol….I don’t like this greyish, champagne, pewter hair color. She is known for starting plenty of trends, but I don’t think this one will make it

Nicki Minaj performing at Justin Comb’s Sweet 16 which was held in NYC at M2

She was also his date….he is so handsome

Teddy Pendergrass’ funeral was this weekend also. Many were there to pay their respects. Including Tyrese who will play Teddy in an upcoming movie

Kelly Rowland

Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) at the Screen Actors Guild Awards…she looks good

Mo’Nique at the Screen Actors Guild Awards where she won an award for her role in “Precious”

Paula Patton at the Screen Actors Guild Awards

I really think Kanye West and Amber Rose are really trying to just get attention. All of this fur is just ridiculous. The Louis Vuitton fur fanny pak is just putting the icing on the cake. I’m waiting for the next picture to be them covered in red paint (PETA) I mean its nothing wrong with fur, and I’m no vegetarian but the fanny pak is a bit much.

Motivation Monday: Power of Words

By Leave a Comment

“Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.” Pearl Strachan

The powers words contain is unbelievable. We have the ability to create things just by speaking them into existence. Your words also reveals what is in your heart. If a person is very negative and only speaks of negative things, then they obviously are not happy and it is a reflection of what is on the inside. Words give you courage and confidence. A simple “good morning, how are you?” can turn a person’s day around.

We have to be mindful of the words that we speak. One reason is because we do not want our words to be the reason to cause a person heartache, pain, doubt, or any type of insecurities. Instead of only speaking about what people do wrong, tell them what they are doing right also and then help them find a way to change. Only acknowledging a persons faults and flaws is not healthy.

Words bring on new insights and enlighten people in ways never imagined. Words are the reason we have all of these great creations. Somethings just have to be spoken. I really do believe that we speak things into existence. If you constantly sayy I am not or I can’t, chances are you will not and you can’t because of the words you spoke.

In order to change how we speak, we have to change what is in our hearts. Yesterday, Pastor Bernard said “The heart is the central motivation factor of human life. Every desire, choice, and decision comes from your heart.” Luke 6:45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.

Words have the ability to make or break anyone and anything. Think about what is in your heart. Think about the words you speak this week and beyond. What do your words reflect about your character?

There is a lot that needs to be done, a lot that needs to be changed and I know that it starts with my very words. Examine yourselves, by examining your heart, this is definitely a time for self-reflection.

Have a blessed week!

Anderson Cooper has been reporting live for CNN from Port-Au-Prince since the the morning of January 13. “I feel privileged to be here, lucky to be here. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. There are things that are extraordinarily horrific and signs of extraordinary strength, and that’s important for people to know.” (Los Angeles Times, January 13, 2010).

Musician Wyclef Jean, a native Haitian, has been supporting his birth country through Yéle Haiti, the charity he originally founded in 1994. Yéle Haiti funds thousands of scholarships for Haitian children, and provided support to residents after Hurricane Jeanne damaged northwestern Haiti in 2004.
