8/15/2018 0 Comments MY TRUTH Deepassionate1 SpeaksMy Truth… There are days when I wish I can have the passion without the pain Days when I get up and I want to go back to sleep again For my demons don’t taunt me when I’m greeted by the light I don’t wear too much makeup, just a touch of eyeshadow to keep my eyelids bright Especially when the thunderstorms come pouring down at night Pick up that pen and write Why waste my energy and time to fight So tired, but I’m still searching for his insight My Truth… I realized that the stage is a sacred space Built for the children of God to receive and share His grace It’s not just a place to pick up the mic Spit some fire, but leave no insight Memorize a poem Pull up and recite Talk about changing the world, but still not living right My Truth... Sometimes I want to grab my pen and plunge in deep Set my words on fire and listen to my heart speak About the things that make Deepassionate1 weak Like how I struggle with depression and learning how to let go Of the things and the people that take my high and bring me low About how I worry about the future and get stuck in my past Talk about how many times I cry myself to sleep, while praying that the pain won’t last My Truth… I am still searching for the missing parts of me And when I recover all parts of myself I will be totally free Free from the pain, free from my past Free to be me, yes free, “free at last”  Last week I received the proof for my latest book Better Over Bitter and I knew deep down in my heart it was time to get ready for my launch. I immediately went into panic mode because I knew how expensive finding a venue is sometimes. I started my research and I knew that I was going to need some financial assistance if this launch was going to go as I envisioned it. I prayed about it and I decided to create a GoFund Me campaign. I was hoping that my friends and family members would be able to support me during this next phase of my journey. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little disappointed when I saw the number of times the campaign was viewed and the number of times it was shared. I was disappointed and I told God all about it. He told me not to worry, in fact, he said that it is not the quantity, but the quality of life that matters. He told me that we get caught up in who is supporting us instead of focusing on who is the source of our lives. I reflected on that truth and then he gave me more food for thought. He said that we are assigned angels for each phase of our lives and when those assignments are over, we have to be willing to let go of our current angels to make room for our next one. And with that, the first donation came in and then the next and on the 5th day with the glory flowing from heaven, I met the goal for my campaign. $1000. My angels showed up and their blessing they did not hide. So thankful for my Lord and Savior, who each day is my guide. I am so thankful for all that was given to me, the Better over Bitter Launch will take place on September 15 as we begin the work that will encourage liberty of the mind, body, and spirit of the people in our communities.

8/14/2018 0 Comments The Story of A Butterfly Deepassionate1 SpeaksJust look deep inside and see The woman I was created to be I am a diamond who shines brightly with the sun I am fearfully and wonderfully made Sweet, strong & beautiful Giving life to the weak I am not easily broken Using the power in my voice to speak Launching new concepts each day Re-educating your minds No need for concern this caterpillar will be fine Created to be a butterfly whose transformation though strange is beautiful to see when something so fragile grows strong and flies so easily no longer hiding from the forces of life Embracing the wind as I fly high and free Now I can clearly see that I am BEAUTIFUL Yesterday I met with my former 7th & 8th-grade student Clyshay Mone'. When we saw each other at the library, we embraced in a hug that melted the time that stood between us. We sat and talked and I reconnected with Clyshay's heart; I felt her pain along with her passion for the journey that she is about to embark on. My caterpillar had transformed into a butterfly and I came back into her life to help her learn the importance of protecting her wings. This transformative process of a butterfly isn't an easy one, but it is a necessary one. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

I got up and grabbed my phone and muted the volume because I didn't want my mind to be swayed by my preset station on my Pandora. I clicked on my "Let Go" playlist, turned the volume up and started scrolling through the songs. Tamela Mann's voice ushered me into a place of worship and in that space I was reminded of a truth that will never change. God Provides!!! I can't deny the change that is happening inside of me. It's the start of a liberation movement flowing from inside of Dee Images of people from my past flooding my present Proclamation of a destiny that I must see An assignment from God created just for me Turning pain into passion & passion into purpose That will heal the world and make us Better Over Bitter.
