'Paying the Price VS. Regret'

🖤🎹🎼🎶 PIANIST (I am, basically, a self taught one - except for a couple years of lessons - back in grade school - around -1st./2nd. grade / (?) age)❣️ 🎹🖤 For the past twenty four years, I have, intermittently, played the piano at various churches, whenever, I was needed, and, The Lord impressed on my "heart" to do so, always, in HIS name, and, for HIS, honor and glory❣️Furthermore, I have enjoyed, and, been BLESSED, by doing so (1 Corinthians 10:31)❣️Throughout the past twelve years, I have been the pianist at my home church, on and off, until I regrettably, "stepped down," a year or so ago, due to various, personal reasons, but, predominantly, because of symptoms attributed to having 'Degenerative Disc Disease,' which, has caused (progressively more intense) chronic, BACK and body, PAIN. 😔 This was a very, heavy and difficult, situation and decision, for me, especially, due to being a "RECOVERING - PEOPLE PLEASER," being concerned about, whe...

'POLITICALLY SPEAKING W/CAUTION'

🎩🇺🇸🗣 POLITICAL - agendas, promotings, debates, discussions, arguments, ETC., were not my motivation for joining various social media venues (POVERBS 18:20)‼️ As a matter of fact, the thought of political - discussions, arguments, accusations, and the such, on Facebook, etc., never entered my mind‼️ I joined them to:  be more "social," reconnect with people, share my, faith in and testimony for Christ, be a blessing, share a myriad of, good and helpful, information, news, etc., and, give and receive, positive messages, and the such‼️ It actually took several people, over a period of a few years, to finally convince me to join‼️ And, in an overall estimation, I am glad that I did‼️ However, let me say that, I am NOT "politically correct," nor, am I a heretic‼️ I do not enjoy discussing politics in person, let alone, on social media‼️ I made the magnificent ERROR during the last presidential election, of mentioning in a post that, I had voted (I did not even write ...

'APPRECIATING (SOONER OR LATER)'

🎉🏈⚾️ Dear, busy, exhausted, chauffeuring children, meal cook'n, frazzled, "momma mia," "this too, shall pass❣️❣️" And then, take it from me that, you ARE probably going to miss It❣️❣️ I remember, back, whenever, we were raising our children, and, as much as I, LOVED and love still, being a mother, oftentimes, feeling, SO tired and overwhelmed, etc., 😩 Both of my children were very active, which, meant that, we kept the roads in our county, and, beyond, "HOT❣️" If, I had been a taxi driver, I would have gotten rich❣️ I am certain most of you parents, who are reading this, can relate❣️We spent a lot of time watching them practice, perform, and compete, in various activities, and the such❣️ They frequently had their friends at our home, running through it, building forts, doing gymnastics on couch pillows, ETC., ETC.  And, we truly, loved and still love, our "BABIES," and, thoroughly enjoyed those active times - bringing them up❣️ However, so...

'ATTENTION VS. RESPECT'

✝️👙👀 MODESTY (Wikipedia) - sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of DRESS and deportment which intends to AVOID the encouraging of SEXUAL attraction in others...‼️ 💗 🚶🏻‍♀️ This particular post, I am mainly, but, not exclusively, writing to female readers.  LADIES (especially, Believers), please, prayerfully, ponder and consider, the message, in which, I write, in this post‼️👸🏽💖 MODESTY, sadly (in my humble opinion), "seems" to be a lost behavior, anymore, in "'merica," "across-the-board," especially, with females‼️👙👀 One cannot watch something on t.v., without seeing, scarcely dressed, sometimes, almost nude, people (mostly gals)‼️ I, for one, do not like it‼️  To me, it is one component, of many, which, is a clear, indicator and "reflection" of, the "ill," spiritually and morally, condition, of this country, which, has been in an, "out of control," "downward spin," according to statistics,  SINCE, ...

'KEEP ON TRYING AND DOING!'

🖤🏡 ‼️REAL ESTATE‼️Doesn't the, term and profession, of 'REAL ESTATE,' read and sound, exciting, glamorous, monetarily rewarding, and the such⁉️ Whenever, I was young, I thought that it did‼️ Therefore, it was one of the professions, in which, I dreamed of possibly pursuing, as a career, in my future, as an adult‼️ ☺️ You see, as a family, we moved A LOT (within our county), therefore, I was around some realtors, also, which, included a couple ladies, whom were, very successful in the real estate industry (GIRL POWER 😘🏋🏻‍♀️‼️)!  I suppose that, the combination of all of this, contributed to my fascination in, possibly, becoming a realtor, one day!?👨🏻‍💼👩🏼‍💼👩🏽‍💼💖 I also, really enjoyed "interior decorating," as a, girl and amateur (ha!). 👧🏽 Years later, I DID earn a license in 'interior decorating,' through a correspondence course. I was creative, with a pretty big imagination, too, which, enabled me to envision - outrageous "FLIPS, and/...
