Equality is Not Always Justice



This pic came across my Facebook feed the other day and MAN did it speak to me. It's deep. On the for real, for real. I mean you can't just look at it but you have to LOOK at it.

To me, people are always complaining about what the next person is getting. It's like STFU! You are not #winning if you are competing against those who didn't start out on the same level as you or have not have been afforded the opportunities as you. Why do we even feel the need to WIN against the next person? You can't just win to be winning. Or win to help the next person win? Or at least come in second!

If you don't need a  handout stop sticking your damn hand out! We as a people are too scared to help the next person because of the fear that they may become better than we are.

In other words, equality is bullshit; justice is what's up.

Hey y'all!    I was finally able to get my grubby little paws on more Michaels Craft Store Grab Boxes.

I was most excited about the floral department stuff and the lights. The total for my boxes is over $400. Anything I can't use, I'll be donating to my job! 

BOOK REVIEW: "I Almost Forgot About You" by Terry McMillan

While I'm not a Terry McMillan fanatic, I do usually enjoy her books. This title was hard to read and confusing from the very beginning.

I will still pick up a Terry McMillan book in the future but I do not recommend this book.

Weight Loss Check In- Week 1 - Days 1 thru 7

Starting Weight: 290 according to the new scale. Target Weight: My initial target weight for the end of week one was 282 lbs. but that was when I thought I weighed 285. Current Weight: 287 Next Target Weight: 285 - kinda feels like I'll be 2 weeks behind. How Many To Lose: 2lbs. Hopefully I'll lose more. Overall Goal Weight: 175 Overall Need to Lose: 112 Good LORD! This week I started with meal replacement shakes. My will power was not strong! I was able to do the shakes 3 full days, meaning I had one for breakfast and one for lunch with a sensible dinner. I purchased both Slimfast and Atkins and have been having the Slimfast shakes for breakfast and the Atkins shakes for lunch. I would say that those are to credit for the 2 lb weight loss because I didn't exercise...at all - just tried to move around more. This upcoming week I am going to do the meal replacements Monday -Thursday and see how many pounds I lose. Even though the scale didn't move much I do h...
