(I posted Originally July 12, 2014, day after My Birthday. July 11, 2014--when I turned 44 years old)--updated Blog Info as of today--3/26/2014) ---- Peace Family, I want to Personally Thank Each and Everyone of you for the Great Birthday Greetings on my 44th Birthday. I had a Great Day. I feel 24 years. I feel Healthier Mentally, Spirtually & Physically. I get up before the birds start to sing--doing ,my thing/aint focused on no bling bling/I want my people to be productive in the world, doing our thing. We are a Great People. We have so much potential. I have no doubt that we are going to get back on point like our ancestors in the past before being brought from Africa. We were Civilzation Builders. Now we Yielders. Not standing upright on the Square. But, its coming. With Unity...All things are Possible. I got my headphones on wt good music. I cant fully describe how I love music. Good Music. Music with a good beat and profund lyrics. I aint got time for off the wall lyrics. Some mornings, no headphones on. Music moves within me--headphones on or not. I love spoken word. Some people say man, when u gon throw some slamming tracks behind some of your poetry. I do agree, great tracks take the spoken word to another level. Either way, the word get to people ears is fine. But this word must not stay bottled up in me. That aint gon happen anyway. It wakes me up out of my sleep. It has no set time neither. And wont let me rest until it is out. The word forces it way out at anytime, not just in the middle of the night. I dont write for Fame or Riches. I write to get out what wont let me rest. In a world of Gangsta Leans, Real Tight Jeans, Nickels & Dimes, Shaky Means, 401k, but aint OK, a world of childs play, pre-mature grey/words that come from me Jewels4dmind & Unity of My People, no matter what they say in days Grey/--We Sun People/--kissed by the Sun/--we aint weanies on a bun/--history has not been kind to us/now we on a Freedom Run I aint worried about winning no Pulitzer Prize or New York Times Best Seller. I want our people mind out the Cellar of the World. I want us thinking lofty thoughts, thoughts of Unity and being somebody great in the world like our ancestors that built the pyramids in the sands of North Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia. Like our Ancestors that built The Great University of Sankore in the Middle Ages (13-15th century) West Africa. In the West Africa at that time, we traded books more than Gold. We are a scholarly people. Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Medicine, Architecture, Engineering, etc. before Christopher Columbus Daddy & Mama hooked up & made that Lil Fellow that would one day get lost at sea, and Native Americans found him. Im feeling real good yall. It took me 20 years to finally get my 1st book out, not been Idle now. Just living life. But in the last year, I finally got my book out. A few days after graduating from College, I moved to Atlanta, GA to get my writings out. I have never been a trivial writer. I didnt know at the time, words of knowledge was not what some publishers wanted. They want page turners. 22 years later, I published my own book. Learned the trade from the ground up. Not just as a writer, but learning how to go from manuscript to physical book. A long, hard journey. I aint resting yet. I dont know how many more hard roads coming up the road, but I aint worried about that. I aint afraid of struggle and hardwork, and difficult times. I have seen that most of my life. We must set our own standards of success. If we let other people define success for us, we in for a world of trouble. Success means to me...Did I learn something today? Did I share something with somebody today? Did I reach one or a few personal goals today? Forget letting other people pull us around on a puppet string, and dictate our lives. Each of us has a lifework. We must not let nobody or nothing deter us. And if they do, we got to find a way to get back our path. -------------- **(Update 3/26/2014 stats) for jewels4dmind 14, 685 views 1,400 Facebook Likes * 1 year Anniversary of jewels4dmind was March 14, 2014 *Took me 20 years to get out my 1st book $206 of Manhood.
