**So many are afraid right now. They’re not sure if they’ll have jobs in the upcoming weeks or if they’ll be able to afford food or medication. What’s happening is real. Please keep them in your prayers.🙏🏽
I’ve shared the same image below since 2022. To continue with the “love” theme, I’m sharing it again today, along with two of my previous captions—the first is included in the screenshot.
Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate it.
Here’s the second caption, which was shared last year.
Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. Taking it back to when times seemed simpler. When love seemed simpler. But what would I know? I was only around four or five when “When Somebody Loves You Back,” was released.🤭 Let’s just say I felt the love Teddy was singing about. It was between this song and L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️
When I shared last year’s post as an Instagram story, I included Teddy Pendergrass’ “When Somebody Loves You Back.” As you can see, I was torn between it and another 70’s favorite, L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I remember my granddaddy playing L.T.D.’s eight track while driving his midnight blue L.T.D. I was so intrigued by the fact that they were both L.T.D.s that I never forgot either—not even the color of his car. Great memories.☺️
As I said in my caption from last year, “I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️” It’s who I am, and this year I’m embracing it. I am a lover and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said—
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
I’ve already written and scheduled my first post, but can’t go back to sleep. Been listening to songs since I shared links to the two songs in my other post (will be published soon). Anyhoo… at the moment, I’m listening to Bell Biv Devoe’s “When Will I See You Smile Again?” and will have to follow it up with “I Do Need You.” Can’t play one without the other. Lol. Got me wishing DJ D-Nice was still doing his Club Quarantine Lives on Instagram. Those were the days!☺️
“Never give up on your dreams. You’re still breathing, so your dreams are still possible.”
When I shared the image and caption above on Instagram and YouTube, I included Yolanda Adams’ song “Never Give Up.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Visions that can change the world Trapped inside an ordinary girl She looks just like me To afraid to dream out loud
And though it’s set for your idea It won’t make sense to everybody You need courage now If you’re going to persevere
To fulfill your divine purpose You’ve gotta answer when you’re called So don’t be afraid to face the world Against all odds
Keep the dream alive don’t let it die, if something deep inside Keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop And never give up; don’t ever give up on you Don’t give up
When I tell you this last year has been about full-circle moments! Last June, I began serving my second term as president-elect for my state’s dietetics association (the first time was in 2015). Back in November, I was reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Today, we are working on a similar project that’s even better than the one I envisioned. Then, last night, I attended an event and connected with someone who could possibly help me with another project I wanted to work on ten years ago.
Y’all, I had given up on both projects—projects that were part of my dream—but God said not so!
Despite the craziness happening right now, God is still bringing dreams to life. I can’t help but be in awe of Him!
