Attack me with your love

This is inspired by the Cameo song of the same title....

Let is put away our weapons of
Insecurity
Disdain
And bear the armor of unconditional love
Let us drop our pasts and only keep the lessons as we press forward together
Overtake me w/uninhibited affection
Let's excite each other w/clear intentions
Free of selfish manipulations

Freeing

Love and Its Conditions

For the record again, I do not believe in conditional love. I love unconditionally. Not if you do this or that or say this or that. Do understand that just because of that means one can be any type of way. You can stay in love or choose not to. But love, if real; will still be.

something I miss....

Hmmm.....there are a lot of somethings I miss. I miss the access to the water and waterfront in Detroit. I miss the beauty of Florida. I miss being able to perform more on stage and I miss my musical associates and acquaintances. I miss some of my private quiet times I had in my 20s before child. I miss traveling. I sometimes miss my 1st car. Some of my friends that have moved from here (metro atl). I always remind myself that growth is life and my memories are sacred. So I cherish them not unto sadness but gratefulness for the experiences w/the people, places and things.

Motherhood

I've always said since I've become a mother that motherhood teaches you patience. I have had to exercise so much patience. When I had this child of mine; I just fell in love! Truly! Such beauty replicated from my body to form her own individuality and uniqueness. The spirits have definitely have had a hand in our growing relationship. We are definitely blossoming. I am also enjoying every moment although I can say that for a brief minute; I admit that I didn't appreciate it as I should have. I'm a free spirit and a stiff....(Imagine that!) and I, w/the aid and counsel of the ancestors, have learned to relish every moment w/my baby.

Parental reflections

I think it's interesting reflecting how your relationship or lack of relationship w/your parent impacts your psychological development when dealing w/other adults once you are one.
