One Big Happy Family-The Coles
Jesus take the wheel! Obesity is such a serious problem in the African American Community. I watched this show tonight and I think this family can can loose weight but gee wiz they didn't notice the weight slowly creeping up on them. 5 pounds here 2 pounds there...
Please stop me if I look like i'm gaining too much weight.
BTW I will be watching this show every week to keep up with their progress and to make sure I stay on track.. The Holiday's are over and I need to get rid of the weight that did not show up over night.. I created it by eating bread at night... Now lets just hope the Coles can do the same.

This last year i've grown as a person in so many ways and I realize in life there is always room for growth, and it's a continual process...
I'm not sure I know exactly how to put my feelings into words... I don't feel like ppl understand how i feel... having a "rare" disease that there is no cure for, being almost 3 years behind in school, wanting to finish school but can't because i made a decision to leave florida and attend a private school and can't afford to get my r
transcript, deciding that what i was going to school for i was doing it because i knew it would provide a comfortable lifestyle vs. something i was passionate about! Ugggh and I understand their are ppl with problems or situations that are more serious than mine but when will my break come? When is my time.. I just want to scream!!! God im being patient but how much longer do I have to wait...

Relationships...
I'm human, I have feelings, I have emotions I just try my hardest not to wear them on my sleeve! I want companionship, I want a healthy relationship built on love, trust and respect. but I'm not even at the "dating" stage so that's not even an option at this point. I get a little envious of my friends who are in healthy relationships but i quickly realize it's not my turn and searching is simply going to bring the wrong things... So I'll sit back and wait on God!
My friend pointed out that I seek the attention in the wrong places, and instead of seeking i should just allow it to find me.. and even though it leaves me with little control it is the best thing to do..

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not to thy own understanding...
God I ask that you give me strength to endure lifes obstacles. Show me that in every situation you can revive glory. I ask that you guide my heart and my tongue. Help me to understand that you will never put more on me than I can bear. With that I must let go and let God and trust you! Amen :-)

=)
In the last three months I have had to make major life changing decisions and it actually feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. My mom is happy that I made a decision that will be a benefit to my future and that I wont be following a plan that others wanted for my life.
I know this is not going to be an easy ride but I'm definitely prepared so look out world because here I come!

Hater by Maya Angelou
A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...
That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...
It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?
You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!
We've all got some haters among us!
Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb
(if he / she isn't about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being
in the home
Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side.
How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:
1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.
A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.
Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!
When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'

I'm back and the first post is me venting!
So i haven't been posting alot lately, but this is a common trend that I have noticed and it's starting to irk me so I need to vent.
I ride the bus to work in the morning and it's usually early, and I have no problem with you putting the finishing touches on your look as you ride to work, at least you are not the one doing the driving. Well my the problem comes when you have on a scarf!!!!!!!
Now I understand that your wrap has to be fresh, because I am all for fresh wraps...no one wants a stale wrap.
Maybe I'm being to harsh, I was always taught when you come out of your house you need to be camera ready. I would be ok if you were going to the gym and you want to keep your wrap fresh, but you have on a business suit and some hott pumps, and that whole look you were going for got trashed when you decicided to keep that scarf on.
(Please note that I am only venting becasue I have seen this multiple times already.)

Young man :-(
Today was a very sad and humbling day. I went to the wake of this young man who was only 16 years old. It was a little heart breaking to see him laying in his casket in the prime of his youth. He had so many grieving friends there to support his family in their time of sorrow (including my sister). I felt so much emotion that I became overwhelmed. His time on earth was very short.
I'm just praying for his family, and I ask God to protect mine every step of the day.

This nation needs help
So I heard about this on the radio and I was very offended when I heard about it. This is absolutely insane. I feel so disrespected as a human being, as an American, as an African American.
What are your thoughts???
Could it be...
Dreaming of you makes my night worthwhile, thinking of you makes me smile, being with you is the best thing ever an in my hear is where you'll be forever.

John Legend- If you're out there
I know this song is old.. but we are still called to ACTION! So lets get busy!
I GUESS...
I have realized that you must use your gifts or you will loose them. I don't want to loose my gifts so I guess I must use them... Get ready!
v-day
As I was sulking about Valentine's day I realized that the last couple of them were sucky. Alot of drama and just real messy all around. But this year, I just was not about to let that get to me. I decided that I should take care of some things around the house.
Well to my surprise, (I wasn't interested in the hype) my sweetie gave me some flowers... That was a great gift, because I wasn't asking for anything or expecting anything for that matter...
That still does not change my thoughts about the holiday... I still feel that's it's a commercialized marketing ploy. But oh well... thanks anyways!

Grammy Fresh
I know that everyone has individual style... but Miayshia what is this?
I will post more after the Grammys.
Sleep in church
There are alot of places that I go that I am really sleepy... but i generally never fall asleep in a public place.
Church is the one place I go, that I never am able to close my eyes for longer than a blinking second.
So I can not phantom how this young man manage to fall asleep and began to snore in church. Of all places how do you fall asleep in church? Do you no have any self respect, or how about respect for God.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that was so rude. Clearly, whatever you did last night did not help. Maybe, just maybe you should get your eight hours of sleep in so you can enjoy the presence of the Lord.

One day I will jump
August 17, 2008- Present
I find myself constantly thinking about you...
I smell you...
I see you in my dreams...
I just hope that the second I jump you'll be there to catch me.
I'm ready to just get over this fear. I realize that you are on of the best guy's that I've ever talked to, if not the best guy, and I don't want to loose him due to my fears.

Super Bowl Sunday
I'm super pissed, I can't watch the super bowl... channel doesn't show up good. Just my luck... More importantly I will be missing the commercials.
Who am I?
I am a strong African American Woman with a shoulder on my head. I am going to do something special with my life with God's guidance. I am going to graduate from college and go on to Medical School and one day be a great doctor. When God decides to take me, I hope to have made a legacy for myself and will leave a tangible gift for my children and my grandchildren. I will marry a man who sweeps me off my feet everyday and loves me tenderly and who is faithful to his God and his family.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I have learned to accept the person that I am am and that I've become.
In my life I am not going to put up with unnecessary drama. I am not going to put up with people treating me like crap. I am confident in who I am, and I refuse to let people make me feel inferior about the person I am.
This is how I feel about me...I enjoy me... and if you don't like it that's just too bad. You'll get over it... If not, I don't know what to tell you... All I can say is "Oh well"! I can't please everybody but as sure as my name is JoAnna, I will please me!!!

Barack & Michelle Obama
This is my president and first lady... The epitome of fierceness, at the Lincoln Memorial!!!
Lowkey’s Top 10 Things You Better Not Do In DC
Courtesy of necolebitchie.com . Thought it was crazy funny!!!
Lowkey’s Top 10 Things You Better Not Do In DC
10. Ask for any sort of discount at ANY establishment. Remember, everyone’s President is black now, so the privileges you think you’re entitled to, jump in line….you’re not the only one. “That’ll be $15.75, sir” “Come one, haven’t you heard the news, my President is black”.
9. Please don’t give the MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) any reason to send 950,000 volts in your tushi. The last thing Barack Obama needs to be worried about is whether or not the cop on duty had a reason to defend himself. Act right, folks.
8. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT yell “GOTCHA” to anyone outside of the African-American culture. This is in no way a “GOTCHA” moment. Rubbing Obama’s victory in with boisterous banter while 80,000 other folks surrounding you consistently yell, “My President Is Black, My Lambo Is Blue” will sure ignite some tension.
7. Remember, this is a political atmosphere…treat this event like it needs to be treated. Treating the inauguration like its All-Star, Superbowl, Freak-Nik, or Spring Break weekend will only enhance the chances of #9.
6. Do not crash any parties/functions/gala/or balls. Yes, Jay-Z is having a party at Club Love. Yes, TI, Jeezy, Nas and Akon will be performing at the BET Inauguration, but that damn sure doesn’t give you any reason to act ignorant at the door because your favorite artists is inside singing your favorite tune. Be cordial. If they say “Keep it moving”, please do so in a timely fashion.
5. During the day of the inauguration, keep your heads, bodies and arms inside your vehicles. This is a different type of victory, celebrate it in a professional manner.
4. Do not head down to DC with the mentality of “I can’t wait to hit Jay-Z’s concert”. Our 44th President, whom is black might I add, is on the verge of getting sworn in, educate yourselves…somehow…someway. And if you wake up with a hangover after a night of partying, that ass better get up and educate yourselves just as hard. This is the wrong time to “Blame It On The Alcohol”.
3. I know it’s already occurring, but DO NOT go down there with the hustlers mentality. Leave all your “OBAMA” paraphernalia at home. Have some respect for Obama, I mean seriously. I know the economy is in shambles right now, but if you’re down there already, your financial status isn’t THAT bad.
2. Do not ask anyone of a different creed, culture or race, “Hey, how does it feel to have a Black President?”. You’re only setting yourself up for an insane amount of disrespectful responses which might include…..well, you’re not naive, just don’t DO IT!
1. If you happen to see or catch a glimpse of Barack Obama…PLEASE, I REPEAT, PLEASE, whatever you do……DO NOT YELL, “Barack, what up my N*GGA?” That sentiment right there will basically cancel out everything Barack’s accomplished thus far. Think I’m lying, take a quick glance right after you blurt out the moronic gesture…YOU’LL SEE!
Alright, I’m done. Be safe, have fun and remember…this is Barack’s Week…NOT YOURS!

Have you ever been in this place?
I wrote this last night and was too lazy to get up and type it then (probably because it was too much action going on in my house).
As humans we sometimes feel discouraged or valued less because of previous actions, but it always seems to be people placed in your life to give you the strength you need to make it through the day, the hour, or even the minute. It's that good conversation that helps take your mind off the negative aspect of like even for a short while.
That's what happen when yo allow yourself to open up to people, no matter what they look like act like, etc. It's the one's you least expect that end up helping you the most.
When you meet people in the kitchen of Twitchell Hall, in chemistry class at MDC, at Target, on bus stops, at church (sometimes you want to run because of previous experiences!!!)or in other random places you don't look for people who will impact your life in the best way.
How do you say thank you, when they give you great advise time and time again.
How do you say thank you, when they are there when you need a shoulder to lean on.
How do you say thank you, when you have received an amazing friend!!!
Life sometimes lead you on a different path, but you never forget the people who make you adjust when you really need to, mold you into who you are, and those who help make the sculpture that much better.
So if I don't speak to you every day, I ♥ you all...and from the bottom of my heart I thank you all!!!
As humans we sometimes feel discouraged or valued less because of previous actions, but it always seems to be people placed in your life to give you the strength you need to make it through the day, the hour, or even the minute. It's that good conversation that helps take your mind off the negative aspect of like even for a short while.
That's what happen when yo allow yourself to open up to people, no matter what they look like act like, etc. It's the one's you least expect that end up helping you the most.
When you meet people in the kitchen of Twitchell Hall, in chemistry class at MDC, at Target, on bus stops, at church (sometimes you want to run because of previous experiences!!!)or in other random places you don't look for people who will impact your life in the best way.
How do you say thank you, when they give you great advise time and time again.
How do you say thank you, when they are there when you need a shoulder to lean on.
How do you say thank you, when you have received an amazing friend!!!

History in the Making!!!
This week that we have started is going to be a historic week. The United States of America is going to have the first African American President. This is an amazing experience in my history, the US history and history we can tell to future generations.
Last night I was speaking to my brother about how the country got to this exact place and he said that he never thought we were going to see an African American President.
But here we are, bask in the ambiance because this is the first of many first in our nation's history!!!

Can you speak correctly...
Today, I was reading a series of comments today of comments on a popular social website and was disgusted by the language that people use. There comes a time when you should use correct English. I mean what's so wrong with using proper English??? Am I wrong for wanting to read something with proper grammar??? Even if you don't use punctuation you can at least put the ellipsis (these ...)!!!!
That's all for now. I can rant on this for days.

Realized some things...
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, and never posted it.
At a certain point in life you realize that you have to become an adult and do you because those who say they care about you the most has done all that they could or choose to do to help you out. Ok so I was in school doing good and being naive about situations that was going on in the family life. Have to come back home and think its just temporary but it turns into a permanent.
Let's just say that I finally realized, that I have to grind for me, because others have their own priorities, and mine are important, just less important than theirs. From this day own, I'm going to do me, and do me good. I'm focused now!!! I know what have to do to make a better life for me. Can't depend on any else to make sure I'm taken care of. So with that in mind, if I have to work three jobs to pay off my school and afford my school, then that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Happy New Year
2008 came and went so fast, I can remember some monumental events that happened to me in 2008. But the days of 2008 are long gone, and now I must create memories of 2009, so that next year on January 1, 2010 I can say that I remember those days, and cherish the life memories.
Looking back on 2008, there are many things that I enjoyed and will remember for ever and then there are things that I don't regret, but I've learned from my mistakes and vow never to do again.
Things happen for a reason, it's not always evident why it's important in your life, but in time you realized that it was your test, and your testimony proves it!
This year I made bonds stronger, connected and made new bonds, and lost some. IT WAS NOT AN EASY YEAR, BUT ON DECEMBER 31, 2008, I was able to say that I made it through, because of God's grace.
2008, was a year of New Beginnings, and I'm not going to loose sight of the new beginnings. I am going to hold dear what i learned in 2008, and use it as a life lesson for 2009. 2009 is going to be my year. I am going to get my AA this year, and finally get one step closer to finishing my bachelors degree that I started in 2006. I am going to take good care of my body and treat it as the temple (in all situations)! Last and certainly, I am going to learn how to lean and trust more on God, because I clearly got myself into some situations in 2008 that could have been avoided if I would have simply done his will and not my will.
My personal theme for 2009 and the rest of my life is not my will buy thy will.
