I’m Backkk!!!!

jamiesjourney0591

Hey Everyone, Sorry for the “hiatus”. Things got chaotic but in a good way for the most part.

In March 2023, I returned to Baylor in Houston and got the results of my bloodwork – My “Chromosome Microdeletion” is on the Chromosome(s) 15.21.1-15.21.2 (its rather small) and very rare. There is no other deletion exactly like mine; there are some that are similar, but I am a medical anomaly (as if I didn’t know that already LMAO!)

Somewhat Sadly, In July 2023, My (now ex) fiance of 5 years and I broke up. There were many issues and TBH I think I mostly stuck around because I adored his family. I was sad about our relationship ending at first, but shortly after, his true colors of his personality showed up, but I am not going to air his dirty laundry on here- all I am going to say is what he did after we broke up (Despite trying to stay friends, I had to eventually cut him off for my mental health well being), but, he “shot himself in the foot” of any chances of us getting back together. I am happy to say however that his family still keeps in contact with me and his sister even still lets me see her kids who still refer to me as “aunt Jamie”.

In Other News, Around April of 2023 I got the vision of doing a “podcast” (Sugar Spice and Everything Nice- St Landry Parish) of Promoting Opelousas/St Landry Parish- events, hidden gems of stores/restaurants/etc, good news, etc. as all that makes the news is “bad news” and I don’t agree with that- why only see the bad when theres so much good also? (That’s another thing about my Ex: when I told him about him, he didn’t support it “Why you wanna do that? There barely is anything ever good that happens around here? It wont change anything,” meanwhile I always tried to support every idea he had, But, whatever.)

Shortly after I started my “podcast”, Parish President Jessie Bellard had reached out to me to attend a meeting of a board to help “Push/Promote St Landry Parish.” Shortly after that happened, Guns Down Power Up Founder Eric Williams reached out and asked if I’d be interested in becoming the new Vice President on the organization Board (I made a year as VP in July 2024). Finally, by going out to these events and networking with the community, I am meeting pillars and leaders in the community- other organizations, etc – that could help guide me towards accomplishing some of my biggest passions and dreams that I have had for a long time!

Finally, Guns Down Power Up, thanks to Superintendent Milton Batiste and Marshal Paul Mouton, got some classrooms at the old North Elementary school campus and we were able to do our first ever SUMMER CAMP, which was an amazing success, and I can already see it getting bigger and better with time. #TeamWorkMakestheDreamWork

While yes, my pain is unbearable sometimes and there are days it’s very hard and I just want to “give up,” All the blessings I see in my life, I can’t wait to see what other exciting things await. Now if only my body pains would go back to what they were in 2013-2017, and I’d be on cloud 9, but we can’t have it all.
I will just take one day at a time, that is all any of us can do.

God Bless Everyone!!! ❤

Thoughts of the day

jamiesjourney0591

Thoughts of the day…I love all my friends no matter their race, nationality, religion, political beliefs, etc. if you are my friend.(Except if you are racists, ableists- have negative thoughts about disabled people, etc.) We may not always see eye to eye on everything, heck we might even debate some things, but if we are true friends and mature adults, we can still remain true friends through all that- And as long as we respect each others views and don’t try to force our views down each others throats. .) I will always care about my friends even the ones I am not close with anymore. They are still in my memories and my heart, and If anything happens to ANY of my friends, you can bet, I will be there for them and their family. If someone hurts them or worse, I will seek vengeance for them. Hell hath no fury like a “Momma hen” type friend. I hit, kick, claw, and will beat people with a bat to defend my friends and family and singing “Someone gonna get their ass kicked today” LMAO. #UnitedWeStand #DividedWeFall

Some of my best friends are different race or nationality than me and they are some of the best friends I could ever ask for. They love and support me and my dreams no matter what. If anyone was to be racists to them, I’d be so angry and defend them, especially if I was right there and witnessed it- I’d probably get in the offender’s face and tell them off or worse- hit,kick, claw, punch, slap, maybe even beat to a pulp with a baseball bat- But I’d do that for all my friends and family, I am very protective of my loved ones and hate to see them hurt; whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Its 2020, and the world is still in chaos with discrimination and racism, hatred and anger, so much division. We need to come together and make the world a better place for future generations, because right now as much as I want to be a mother, I do not want to bring a child into all this violence, crime, and hatred in the world; Children cant even have childhoods anymore and are forced to grow up too fast in this world. 😦 We must do better for our children and our children’s children and generations to come!

Life Journey: Jr High, Lowes Trip, Sassy teen, Angry dads; oh my!!

jamiesjourney0591

In Jr. High was the time I back-sassed my dad in Lowe’s. First, let me explain that I was grouchy because I didn’t want to be there, to begin with, but yet I was forced to go with him. We were at checkout and we had roach spray, along with many mouse/rat traps. The clerk said some statement about: “you must have a mouse problem?” I replied: “Oh, yes! A lot!” My dad replied: “Jamie, we don’t have a problem; just an occasional mouse or two from the field next door.” But of course, Jamie with the big blabbermouth didn’t shut up until dad growing frustrated told me “Jamie, Stop.” Well, I was mad that he cut me off from telling my stories, plus the fact he forced me to come anyway. Once dad had paid for the stuff, he asked me to carry the bag, to which I replied: “Why can’t you do it; I’m not your slave.” Oh, you should have seen the vein in his temple throb, and his face turn red; I knew I had crossed the line: “No daddy, I’m sorry; don’t whip me!” as loud as I could in Lowe’s, not realizing that if anyone heard him, they could report him for “child abuse,” when he was just disciplining his child. Boy, was my dad embarrassed and furious! I think if my child ever did that to me, I would have whipped them when we got in the car! I was so scared that I didn’t get into the front passenger seat, instead, I got into the backseat on the floorboard; trying to avoid my Dad’s wrath! (He still loves to hold this story over my head! LOL)

Paypal incidents and moral decisions; The right choice!

jamiesjourney0591

So around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, 2020, I received an email from service@paypal.com saying I had gotten $250.00 from a Jeremy Fontenot. I found that strange considering I don’t know any Jeremy Fontenots and when I looked at details the email was addressed to jamiecormier@gmail.com not my Jamie.cormier@gmail.com so why did it go to my gmail? Even stranger, the person wrote “for tickets” in the details for the transaction. What tickets? I wasn’t selling any tickets or anything. I was faced with a moral decision to make..”Do I keep the money even though I know it wasn’t intended for me even though I could really use it?” or “Do I do the right thing, email the person, tell them the mixup and send the money back?” I did what I would want someone to do if it was me, I emailed them and then returned the money to them, even though I really (really, really, really) wanted to keep it. I did however get something out of it; not monitary, but something much better- Pride in myself, and I got a compliment from the individual in an email, “Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind heart in this situation. It could’ve gone in a negative direction, but because of you, it was very nice. This gives me one more example to tell of how there are great people in this world. I hope you have a fantastic day and blessings your way. By the way, I told my cousin that since yall emails are so close, I advised him to change it up a little so this confusion doesn’t happen again. Y’all already have the same name! LOL.” and I emailed back, telling him “LOL, Only difference really is I am female. I’ve been scammed out of money before, so I get it and I’m disabled so I guess I have a lot of empathy I guess, I dont know. Anyway thanks for the compliments. Would I liked $250 ,sure who wouldn’t? But Keeping it wouldn’t be right. Anyway God bless and If you would like to know more about my life and story, I have 2 blog pages and a youtube channel,” and gave him the links to them. He emailed back saying ” I will definitely look at your youtube and read about your story.” So I possibly got a new online follower out of it 🙂
