New Month, New Mindset, New way of dealing with my people.......

As far as I'm concerned the Summer is over and that's a very welcomed change. While the odd weather and late heat reduced the season to maybe 1 month of actual Summer, I had I very interesting time.

This was a Summer of enlightenment in terms of those people I care for, interact with and most importantly I saw exactly who cares about me and what I can expect from them. Some of that discovery was good and some was disappointing. Some people came with words but no actions, some came with words but them acted in a manner that contradicted their previous words. But there were those people, both new and old, that solidified my trust, faith and respect in them by acting in a manner that backed up the things they expressed to me.

I say that to say that life for me needs a degree of realignment. While the refreshing playfulness of youth hasn't escaped me, it's time fully grasp that we are not kids and to that end I hold everyone in my circle 110% accountable for their words and actions. No longer will things just be dismissed, overlooked and excused by me. Not because I don't want to but because I can't afford it. As it is with anything, giving must be balanced with receiving or you eventually will run out of fuel. Years of ALWAYS looking the other way and blind acceptance has me a little tapped out. No let me rephrase that cuz my tank is no where near empty. I just need folk to hold up their side of relationships. That's for a few of my boys and many of my ladies.....

If you've earned my love then you'll always have it. But the energy I use to interact and deal with you can and will be tempered in relationship to how you conduct yourself. And truthfully speaking yrs of faithful service give me the ability and right to do this. View this as a statement, not a request. People will deal with this however works best for them.

I've never asked much from folk and yet many have continued to miss the boat....so as I look to make this final 1/4 of the year a grand one, don't be surprised how it goes down. The same technologies that fuel the foolishness and constant chatter about nothing could have been much better utilized to firm up our communications but if that's what ya'll wanted you would have done it naturally.Life many times gives you what you want. Just be ready to deal with it once you get it.

I'm feeling refreshed and ready to make an impact in life.....my life.
