To Tell You the Truth

To Start I Must Begin [Update]

Original Post: May 8, 2020 Original Update Within minutes of beginning an episode of any show, I can easily get lost researching online; tumbling and (maybe, more accurately) stumbling down a rabbit hole of tabs leading me from a Wiki page about a certain actor or actress to their high school garage band which included another actor who is also the cousin of the lady who starred in the show…

I don’t even know when it began, but I’m certain of what’s happening now. I don’t know if I should be excited because maybe God thinks I’m a strong soldier, or if I should be worried because the attacks are real and in my own strength I feel way too weak to handle it. Faith isn’t my strongest ability, and I’m okay admitting that. Though, I know one thing, for sure! By the time I overcome the…

Okay, I’m not really tryin’ to fight, y’all. It’s just a good title for the place & time I’m in today. Relax. 😉 I’ve been through some legit battles over the past year (1.5 years, maybe). I went through serious ups & downs. I thought I was doing God’s work, and it started out that way, but then I believe I got caught up by evil spirits and my own fleshly desires. Coming out of the entire blip…

Transition & Other Neat Stuff

transitioning I’m in the process of re-organizing this blog. You may see things come and go, shift and reappear over the next few days. It’s really okay. [I’m really okay.] I’ve been transitioning. My blog is a reflection of that. I don’t have all the answers and can’t divulge much, anyway, as these are intimate discussion I’m having with Him and I’m not sure how much to share [yet], but these…

How Do You Feed the World?

I like to eat, & that’s not a secret, but this posts isn’t about food in that sense. (I mean, it is, but it isn’t. Just follow along, please. LOL!) I’m so proud of my friends. They have big dreams about helping people & instead of sitting on those dreams, wishing & hoping, they’re actually doing. It’s pretty amazing what can be accomplished from a simple idea. People who have God-like hearts, do…

Literally, this lady is a King & her name is Kat.

Jackson, Ohio. by Kat King Diamondz

If I were still as anxious to talk with people as I thought I was originally, I’d sooooo be missing out on some of the neatest creative minds. I met a lady today who’s so gifted with a lens, I think maybe some others should just stop trying; those wannabe photographers who think they’re seriously…

To Tell You The Truth

I just remembered, or circled back around to remembering, or was just knocked over the head with why I chose this name. I’m a researcher by nature. (I understand why now, too. More on that later.) I try to find credible information from the direct source, b/c it saves time. It’s hard to do, tho’, because the web’s so cluttered with empty promises. I got…

National Vinyl Record Day 8.12

Vinyl Record Day (VRD): Time line history 1877, Fall (Autumn) [Probably. Or, Possibly]

Thomas Edison invented the phonograph.

There are conflicting dates about when the inventing actually occurred. Was it on or around August 12th or November something? I can’t say for certain, but here’s what I did find via Wikipedia [& you know information from there is absolutely, 100% true. Hehehe!…

8/11/20 545am

Peace. Typing the word, I had to take a moment to close my eyes in the early morning stillness and thank God for it; any tiny piece of it I can get. This is a normal thought process in my life and even more so now, during this crackhead crazy time of 2020. You see, stealing tiny fragments throughout the day and being fortunate enough to stumble upon even the tiniest pieces of…

NEW #Business Post ▼

You use social media, but how well? Are you using it to the best of its capabilities – for you? Social distancing takes on a whole new meaning [for me] in cyberspace. I think about the lengths to which one’s willing to go to achieve some level of success in a social medium and how easy it is to get sucked into strategies & theories that will never work if you don’t cover the most basic elements,…

There are some things I thought I knew before I actually knew them. I don’t know that I know them now, I only try to do right by them. Well, unless I’m not trying.

There are things I didn’t want to know that I was forced to learn. Those are the things that cloud past memories; very few good ones return. Still, somehow I can smile – sometimes.

The things in life I know, for sure, aren’t the…

In the Beginning

I just wanted to share love with the world, so that’s how it all started – back in the summer of 2016 – sometime around Independence Day (I believe). I didn’t do it alone either. My Love was totally on board, as he’s a human with a heart, too. 😉 Frfr, tho’ – he’s a man with a big heart & a good example of the kind of people who will, most likely, be featured in #dhumanity7…

Are y'all Netflixin' & chillin' on @Cursed? #cursed #netflixandchill #tv

My apologies if the title confused you a bit, but that was my honest intent. I’m THAT big of a word nerd. I couldn’t help myself. Cursed. The Netflix series. Are you watchin’ it? Have you watched? Do you plan to watch? If you’re currently watching or about to watch, you’ll wanna stop reading now. This article contains spoilers.

In short, me likey. I didn’t…

Got my own stories to tell, y'all, and here's the 1st of many. #truestories #ablackhistory

I understand that, generally, the term “commercial” implies marketing and advertising in hopes of gaining profit. This case is no different, except viewing this particular commercial didn’t inspire me to buy anything. Instead, it provoked me to tell untold stories – actual, untold history. A black history. American history.

I Never Want to Forget

There’s a commercial that’s been circulating…

Others have achieved similar goals or dreams, so you know it's possible. You may even understand that you're physically capable & have had some level of success yourself. Yet...still, something stops you from goin' all the way. What the heck is it? Argh!

Every halfway sane person has, at least, one realistic dream-like, goal-type thing. You know, it’s something you’ve always wanted to have or achieve & it’s totally doable – in theory. Others have achieved similar goals or dreams, so you know it’s possible. You may even understand that you’re physically capable & have had some level of success yourself. Yet…still, something stops you from goin’…

It’s a Horrid Habit

I, literally, had a brain debate about whether to title this post “Hard Habit to Break” or “It’s a Horrid Habit.” Song title or movie quote? Hmm…. Decisions. Decisions. That’s how special my brain is, y’all. LOL!

Anywhoo.

A Horrid Habit

I keep writing in notepads and don’t post, so I end up with a catalog of notepad entries and another dilemma. Do I post them one at a time, spread apart,…
