Amazing that while the chuds on here argue the worth of a working women, the entire country openly mourns a woman who had no children but still left a massive impact on her community, on pop culture, and on society in general
It’s not just that Dolly Parton was an amazing musician who exemplified the depth and soul of American country music.
She also exemplified a kind of American culture we no longer have: character, humor, optimism, individuality, compassion for others without abandonment of self.
She didn’t try to get ahead by painting herself as a victim or demonizing her competitors. She didn’t try to become whatever the Current Thing dictated.
She showed us the beauty of individualism that our culture has long forgotten: when you act from love and authenticity, you have no true competition and cannot lose.
She did what every great artist does and forged a completely inimitable career just by being herself.
Intimacy and access to you should only deepen reverence for you. Familiarity and closeness are no reason to become careless with you. Stop being with people who only know how to revere from afar. They do not know how to love what they can touch. They worship projections of themselves, all while hating themselves.
Your problem has always been that you seem too good to be true. This has been the case in love, business and even friendships bc of your level of excellence and authenticity. Youve never existed within a box. You are not categorized as ONE thing. Some ppl have a hard time believing you are who you are bc you don’t look the part…. And that’s the point. You are hidden in plain sight so they NEVER see you coming. You experience the world as everyone else so that you have the understanding and relatability for the ppl that God has called you to assist. Those who are closed minded may end up missing the message, and skipping a blessing bc they are indoctrinated and conditioned to only accept or see things a specific way. You don’t act like the “typical”_____ && You look NOTHING like what you’ve been through and that’s why you’re the PERFECT person for this position. God QUALIFIES the called.
You have a duty to God to become more competent, disciplined, and influential than you ever imagined yourself capable. You must become a weapon against evil.
If you sabotage your divine connection w a soulmate that was sent by GOD for you to build with, break curses with, and elevate with- you won’t ever love the same way again this lifetime. Whether you cheated, let rumors deter you from the relationship or simply were too stuck in your head to actually commit- your karma WILL BE the obsession you have w that person + the crippling GUILT and SHAME that eats you alive bc your soul KNOWS that you let something get in between your gift from God. You forfeitted your destiny when you released that relationship bc that person was supposed to be a part of it.
Building a legacy requires a level of passion and obsession that most don’t posses.
An unextinguishable fire. Trusting a vision that the average person can’t see.
A faith it till you make it level of passion.
not even kidding when i say this exact thought crosses my mind every single day which is why i’ve made it my personal mission to enjoy my life to the absolute fullest
The best way to honour someone who did a lot for you but regressed into someone you can no longer respect, is to remember the best version of them and be thankful for what they did for you. Even if they ultimately failed you, they gave you a great gift as proof of their love.
I think black people are afraid of using the metrics of beauty standards within their in group and the judgements that come with it because in America racism created this divide where beauty is not attainable to them simply due to race, though it’s not as simplistic as that.
See, looks matter when you're trying to convey something. Aura, presence, etc.
Now compare the two actors quoted below (David Jonsson and Suzy Bemba), who are about to portray Toussaint (his son and the stand-in for T'Challa) and allegedly Storm, with these two images I provided, and tell me you don't see a difference in vibe.
Keep in mind that, in the comics, T'Challa and Storm have both been described as exceptionally handsome and beautiful, respectively.
Acting skills are important, but so are looks when casting certain characters.
I am also noticing that some Black people are purposely setting the bar low for what they consider handsome and beautiful for some unknown reason. At some point I want to dive into that aspect.
Lastly, and I gotta say this, the community that attacked the Recast T'Challa group for not being happy with the casting of David Jonsson is suddenly annoyed at the idea of Suzy Bemba playing Storm because she's not beautiful enough.
So they understand it with Storm, but not with Toussaint. I have no plans on watching the movie anyway, but I just wanted to point this out since my timeline is nothing but this.
Find someone that can also communicate their love without words. Someone who buys you just because flowers, someone who sends you love songs, someone who kisses you all the time, someone who always makes time for you, someone who makes your life easier, someone who prays for you
Women can tell when a man practices semen retention and when he has a lustful spirit. We can also tell when his presence is safe and when we should stay away from him. God made us intuitive to protect us, but He also made sure our eyes reveal our spirit
People stay worried about “monitoring spirits,” but Psalm 23 already told us God prepares your table in the presence of your enemies.
When He blesses you, He doesn’t hide you. He makes you untouchable.
Too many mortals 🚹 feel entitled to me & believe they are owed access to my time, energy, body and being. I am a delightfully feminine Goddess, I understand that I'm deeply attractive & radiant and I can't help how magnetic I am but I owe you nothing & will humble you so fast 🙃
