Whyte23....Welcome To My World!

By Gloria Whyte I want to start this posting by declaring that all who reading this is because they are a part of Mamie Robinson (through birth/bleed line or marriage) are blessed and highly favored. I also want to say that we are destined for greatness but at this time we have not obtained all that God has in place for us on this side of heaven. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. The above is one scripture that I laid hold to while I was studying this area of lack in my life, also God instructed me to do something that Marcus and I have done with other couples. One of the first homework assignments that Marcus and I have the couples in our marriage training classes do is to write a Mission, Vision and Purpose statement for their family. When teaching this we instructed them to look at their marriage as a business partnership that will generate a life of he...

A new year - a new season - a new beginning - renewal - rebirth. Let every day be the first day of the rest of your life, but especially let today be a new beginning. What is your vision for your life? Put it into action starting today. Happy New Year! I'm being who I am, not who I think they want me to be or who I think I'm expected to be. I am saying what I think. I am responding honestly and being fully present. I feel genuine. My feelings feel genuine. As we talk, as I teach, as I listen, as I write, as we are together in whatever way, it is genuine. It is an electrical charge connecting us. Is it empathy? Is it simply being understood, heard and known? What is it made of? I don't know. But I know when it begins and can feel precisely when it breaks and disconnects. It feels like the only thing that is real. Thank you Jonathan Lockwood Huie for this last paragraph that I want to add to my feeling and thoughts.... Today is your day to dance lightly with life. It really i...

Now, I am one who appreciates good old common sense. I am a thinking man/husband and the truth is so simple. Common sense isn't common. That is very true in society today. We like to complicate things. If something seems too simple, we think it can't possibly be effective. And the pure and simple truth is that nature has given us what we need to keep our bodies healthy and well. And to mutilate and destroy the body in any way under the guise of attempting to heal it makes no sense at all. I am not a practitioner or a scientist, but I am a creature of nature, and I have learned to live according to natural laws. First you have to decide to accept responsibility for your health and understand that you have the authority to choose what you are going to take into your life. So what are the things that are going to build your health? THE TWELVE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HEALTH: 1. The Human Mind is Ultimately the Most Important Building Block to Health and Well-being. We showed earlier, u...

My Babygirl has become of age today...by definition a young person transition from childhood to adulthood. The age at which this transition takes place varies in society, as does the nature of the transition. I remember her first birthday to first steps, talkin and jumpin down a flight of stairs my little dare-devil, she is not afraid to try new things dancin, singin , her poems and short stories are expression of her thought patterns of thinking outside of the box. A heart of gold but can set things correctly if need be...sista-girlfriend "Attitude" classy and not too ghetto LOL! She looks to find good in all people no matter the race,ethnic,nor religion they may be.....she's not naive about her surroundings nor judgmental of others. My daughter has been speaking Japanese since Pre-school. Her plans are to become an international interpreter for the Government. She is the 3rd baseman and the cleanup hitter for her High School softball team. Her Grade GPA is 3.2...it wou...

Toby Keith song, "Cryin' For Me," a tribute to the late Wayman Tisdale. It's really a beautiful song and the video is terrific. Tobey Keith ft. Dave Koz, Marcus Miller and Arthur Thompson - which begins with the outgoing message from Tisdale's answering machine. Makes us miss Wayman even more. Take a look below. "Cryin for Me" Got the news on Friday morning But a tear I couldn't find You showed me how I am supposed to live Now you showed me how to die I was lost til Sunday morning I woke up to face my fear While writing you this goodbye song I found a tear I'm going to miss that smile I'm going to miss you my friend Even though it hurts the way it ended up I'd do it all again So play it sweet in heaven Cause that's right where you want to be I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you I am cryin for me I got up and dialed your number Your voice came on the line That old familiar message I've ...

Temptation will always be out there, whether you look for it, or not. Will you be interested in other men/women after you got married? Chances are "yes, it is likely to happen". Will you regret getting married to him/her at some point? Yes, specially in difficult times. But you've made a choice. When you choose him/her to be your husband/wife you say "this is the man/woman I want to spend my life with, no matter what. I choose him/her and renounce to any other that may appear in my life in the future". Temptations will happen, difficult times will come, and you have to learn how to overcome those and stay faithful to your choices. Most of all, to your promise. No one is saying it is easy, but this is exactly the point: you need to learn how to be strong to full fill your promise to your husband/wife and to God. After you are under the bonds of matrimony you and your husband/wife become one under God's eyes. You are a family now and it is your duty to keep i...
