I am KHADIJAH...For the past two years people have been inquiring about when I'm going to start a BLOG. Well two years ago I did and it flopped TERRIBLY! So I decided to go back to FaceBook and Instagram and share my thoughts there. But those Social networks are just too small for such a BIG personality! Hunny I need more than 150 Characters! So for the people that look forward to my advice, input, open mind, loving heart, and real talk..HERE I AM!

THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST HIP HOP TRACKS OF ALL TIME! They HAD to MURDER Tupac because he was too BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, & BLACK!
Its so HARD to hear a story like Trayvon's.....I have brothers, cousins, uncles, nephews and friends that I'm praying for. I'm a Brownsville native and I know in my community alone we lose a massive amount of young men to gun violence EVERYDAY! What are we supposed to do? Who are we supposed to turn to? My heart BLEEDS for Trayvon but it more so hurts for my peers who are losing family members EVERYDAY to someone of the same race. One of "us!" Of course its a different reaction when its done by someone of another race BUT does it make it any less painful when its done by someone of the same skin color???????? Either way I view it its still COLD-BLOODED, HEARTLESS, MURDER!!!!!!!!!!! And truth be told, I'M SICK OF IT! Its a shame to feel like a prisoner in your own community. Its sad to hear two housing complexes in the same neighborhood, across the street from each other are KILLING one another everyday!!!!!!!!! Its a shame that they place these rookies in our community with the "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality and we have to accept that. What do we need the other races for? We're doing an excellent job at killing each other our damn selves. So while I applaud everybody for rocking their hoodies for Trayvon I pray you ALL do the same for your neighbors, co-workers, and friends family members who you know personally that are dying EVERYDAY!
So while I pray for Trayvon I'm also gonna pray for Carlito, Lance, Duney, Lamont, Dre, D.J., Manny, Stout, Occ, Scoody, Harlem, and anybody else who WE have loss due to the acts of irresponsible people and gun violence.....BO$$Y IS FED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Home sweet home! I ENJOYED my day tremendously. I had a very PRODUCTIVE day at work and afterwards Miss T. Lee and I went to take our placement exams for The College Of New Rochelle....I'M EXCITED!!!! Too much precious, idle, non-refundable time spent on B.S.!!!! I've ALWAYS been brilliant so I dont think I'll have an issue its just about me being persistent and focused! But the one thing I'm learning more than ever is to be PATIENT! EVERYTHING IN GODS TIME....In the past, I say or think something and I expect it to happen like yesterday. Thats NOT the way life or God works. I thank him for what I have and TRUST him for what I need. Not to mention a BIG shout out to ALL of the women I've surrounded myself with who CONTINUOUSLY inspire me to push for my dreams! I LOVE YOU LADIES AND I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH.....
So take a GOOD look @ these faces ladies & gents because the next time you see them they will be draped in cap & gown and proud recipients of Master Degrees!!!!!!!! #LETSWORK

A while back my Mom (as always) gave me some very VALUABLE advice.....(In my Miss Pennie voice) "Khadijah you are an incredibly SMART girl. Sometimes too smart for your own effin good! I applaud you for that and when it comes down to FACTS NOBODY on God's green earth can argue with you, BUT your "point of view" and your "logic" is not considered FACTS! They're considered exactly what I just said YOUR "point of view" and YOUR "logic" Just because people DONT view, understand, decipher, or process things the way you do does NOT make them WRONG it just makes THEIR point of view and logic DIFFERENT from yours! And might I add its very ARROGANT of you to think so!!!!!"
-_____- Who the hell does Miss Pennie think she is to tell me MY point of view and logical way of seeing things is NOT right????????? Like hell it aint!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast at the time thats what I was thinking! But now looking back on it in hindsight as usual Miss Pennie was 100% RIGHT!!!!
EVERYBODY has had DIFFERENT experiences in life, their experiences shape the people they are. You only know what you've been taught and exposed to.
My parents (RIP PAPA BEAR) showed me LOVE, TRUST, UNDERSTANDING, RESPECT, HONESTY, & COMPASSION....Were they perfect? No....Am I??? Not at all! But they did their damn best and thats EXACTLY what I'm doing.....I'm learning to RESPECT other people's opinion as I realize they are entitled to them. I AM NOT ALWAYS RIGHT! Not only have I said it but I actually BELIEVE it.....
SO TODAY I'M TOASTING TO GROWTH!!!!!!!!!!! Everyday I'm afforded the opportunity to grow not only as a daughter, sister, Aunt, Godmom, niece, employee, but most importantly as a WOMAN! I'm THANKFUL for that! If I CANT grow, I CANT live.....

Goodmorning.....Today I woke up feeling GOOD. My commute went well. But I noticed once I stepped into my job I felt DIFFERENT. This used to be a place that I looked forward to coming to. These used to be people that I considered FAMILY...Lately its starting to just feel like "WORK!" I HATE THAT FEELING!!!!!
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE MY STUDENTS!!! Even the ones that get on my last nerves. I ADORE THEM. They've taught me so much about myself and they also have had a MAJOR impact on my life....They're preparing me for parenthood. I cant front NOW I'm anxious to be a Mom. PS I'm so NOT knocked up! #TeamSingle so dont you'll start wondering....But anywho, I digress....I have to see what I'm going to do to remove this cloud thats hovering over my second home or maybe I should assess if THE CLOUD IS JUST HOVERING OVER ME! Whichever the case may be I've ALWAYS been excellent at making the best out of bad situations.....Soooooooooooooooooooo with that being said I'm strapping on my boots, sucking up my worries, and leaving the bullsh*t in the past......#LetsGetIt

Responsibility to yourself means that you don't fall for shallow and easy solutions--predigested books and ideas...marrying early as an escape from real decisions, getting pregnant as an evasion of already existing problems. It means that you refuse to sell your talents and aspirations short...and this, in turn, means resisting the forces in society which say that women should be nice, play safe, have low professional expectations, drown in love and forget about work, live through others, and stay in the places assigned to us. It means that we insist on a life of meaningful work, insist that work be as meaningful as love and friendship in our lives. It means, therefore, the courage to be "different"...The difference between a life lived actively, and a life of passive drifting and dispersal of energies, is an immense difference. Once we begin to feel committed to our lives, responsible to ourselves, we can never again be satisfied with the old, passive way."

So.....Last night I watched Basketball Wives (of course)....Everything that Tami said to her therapist is EVERYTHING I already assumed! I've been trying to tell you'll but NOBODY has been listening to me. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME SH*T!!!! There is a method to the madness. People aren't just walking around ANGRY for no reason. People have traumatic experiences that they have yet to not only address but deal with as well. EVERYBODY responds to their issues differently. Some people take things on the chin and keep it pushing, LUCKY THEM! Others deal with things at the time that they occur, SMART THEM! Then we have those that DON'T know how to deal and haven't dealt. LETS PRAY FOR THEM!
WE ALL NEED SOMEBODY TO LEAN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your lips, your eyes, your soul
Are like a work of art,
The most creative thing of all
Is your beautiful heart.
If you were a painting,
No colors could express
The beauty deep inside you,
A rainbow, nothing less.
If you were a sculpture
The clay could hardly make
Your figure of an angel
Without one mistake.
If you were a euphony
No choir could really sing
All the beautiful music
Your eyes could possibly bring.
So here I am, an artist,
With inspiration beyond belief
But to capture such rare beauty,
I'd have to be a thief.

As a woman I'm learning my LIMITS....I'm learning that no matter how much you "LOVE" a person you dont have to let them continuously lie, betray, and mistreat you. ESPECIALLY if they claim to "love" you back. I'm having Separation Anxiety. I have individuals that I NEED to separate from but, I'm having a HARD time doing so. My separation is for the BEST. We're growing in different directions, we no longer see eye to eye....The gloves is off, the blood is drawn, we no longer wear the same uniform! I'm NOT okay with that. But the exposure was NEEDED.....
I've reached a point in my life where I can accept SEPARATION....Thats sounds so odd coming from a person who NEEDS people! But I guess the saying is right....I ONLY NEED PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO NEED ME IN THEIRS....And some of those motherf*ckers I DONT EVEN NEED. GOD has not yet made any mistakes in my life. He has guided me down a PERFECT path set forth for me. As for as leaving people behind....IT HAPPENS, THATS LIFE! My only obligation is to pray for them and wish them well. That I can and will do........
Onward & Upward
