I’m Backkk!!!!

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!!! ❤

Superbowl 2023: So tired of Hypocrisy!

Food for thought:

Let me start this post by saying this: I did not watch the superbowl nor did I watch the halftime performance. I did however see the facebook blowup about it, calling it demonic and inappropriate, etc. People say that about the halftime performance for the last several years…. Let me start by saying this: TV IS NOT YOUR CHILD’s Babysitter! Social Media is not your child’s babysitter! Quit letting these kids watch tv unsuppervised without knowing WHAT THEY ARE WATCHING, stop letting them SURF THE NET UNSUPERVISED!

I get that yall think it’s supposed to be “Family Friendly”, but alot of what yall bring yall kids to: parades, football games, even wedding receptions or family reunions can have “Demonic” influences.

Football Games and Parades: The Cheerleaders and dancers, yall wanna complain about the costumes and dancing of the halftime shows, but have yall seen the Cheerleader and Dancer Uniforms and Dance moves of these HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS? Sometimes even younger kids that are just in dance studios! (Not to mention what they might have to endure by DRUNK or Perverted People at PARADES!)

Also, the show performances most of the time match the music videos? sometimes even the music videos ARE WORSE!

Parades: Most of the people attending parades are either DRUNK or ACTING FOOLISH. People get hurt alot at parades, not to mention the dancing, some people get out of hand and even flash body parts, fights breaking out, etc. but yet they are “Family Friendly”

Look, i get it, you wanna protect your children, but you can’t pick and choose what you gonna complain and call demonic. Satan can use anything to influence and get us on his team, even the “Godly stuff,” because guess what…. Satan is a FALLEN ANGEL- he knows the religious stuff probably way better than most of us, and he knows how to use it and twist it to make us doubt or stray from God’s light.

Either Live the life and talk the talk- only watch religious programming, go to only functions you know will have no negative influences, etc.

which will stunt your children and make them rebel once they on their own, OR …STOP AVOIDING IT, and Talk to your kids! Explain things- that you’d rather them not engage in the behaviors they see, that it isn’t appropriate for their age, etc., but you will always love them, even if they stray from the path.

The only things we can do is have a relationship with God. Teach and uphold values and morals in household, but also be open to talk and answer questions (dont make kids scared to talk to you about things). Teach them about God’s love. We cannot change the craziness of the world, and what we cant fix, we pray because God can do anything. Only through a relationship with God and our conscience/gut will we know whats truly good and right, in our hearts. ❤

Just my thoughts. Anyway Goodnight.🙏🙏🙏

pray and do not be afraid for God is with us always 🙏🙏
