It’s a rainy day in Georgia…
At 11:00am EST, a prince will be laid to rest to the heavenly tune of “God’s Lullaby.”
To honor his memory, I am reblogging this amazing piece, written by my dearest cousin, and prolific writer, the late Ronald W. Brown.

Until we meet again, Rest In Peace, my love. ❤️

Based on a true story; events were slightly reimagined for dramatic effect by the author.
This is 1982 and LadyG learns a hard lesson about appearances including the complexities of marital relationships and the devastating results of repeated infidelity on an entire family.
Although today’s topic is deep, it ain’t gonna stop me from hitting you up with a few of my favorite jams from ’82.
Note: The titles of RMC posts are always based on a lyric from a song that was either popular at the time or was released in prior years and had an “evergreen quality.”

Listen to the first part here.
In today’s audio, the cousins are talking about:
This is NOT an early Thanksgiving post, but it should serve as a word of caution about constantly asking, affirming or praying for “abundance.”
Abundance is fine, but what about higher vibration states like “love” and “appreciation?”
Ah…but we are humans, so we generally can’t help becoming overly focused on the accumulation of material things.
Always wanting more…
and more…
and more.
Which ties nicely into our relentless quest for abundance.
Trust me when I tell you that it is a relentless quest, indeed.
Don’t believe me?
Go google the word “abundance” and see what happens.
Hell, I’ll do it for you.
Yeah so…….. 296,000,000 results!
Looks like a lot of people are talking about abundance because they know that a lot of people are interested in the topic.
But…
I would argue that many of us aren’t even capable of recognizing abundance.
In fact, there are people, especially in the United States, who are blindly swimming in abundance–totally unaware.
No shade, I’ve been guilty of diving into that lake myself.
Therein lies a major problem.
Check out this video to get my take on abundance…

I wrote this in 2016 but it’s even more relevant today.
I know this lady who was raised in a very depraved environment. She, her mother and her siblings were treated as if they were the private property of her ‘father.’
This young lady had been worked, raped and nearly beaten to death. She was not allowed to go to school so she never learned to read.
Throughout her teen years, her ‘father,’ who had been her main abuser, gave his friends permission to violate her in any number of ways. As a result, she gave birth to six children; each with a different man. Her father sent several of the children away because he said that it wasn’t his responsibility to feed them.
Sadly, the young lady was never told of their whereabouts. Before long, she and her remaining children suffered the same fate.
This young lady, who had nothing but the clothes on her back and three children in tow, did…

Please check out this post that my good friend Dr. K. E. Garland asked me to write for her blog’s “Self-Love” series.
Many of you may already know Dr. Garland as the author of The Unhappy Wife.
Well, in addition to that, she is also the Editor of Daddy, an anthology which includes stories written by women about their relationships with their fathers. Tikeetha Thomas, a well-known blogger on WP is featured in Daddy.
Both of these ladies are fierce in this writing game and I encourage you to check them out, if you haven’t already.
Also, be sure to catch the latest edition of the “Self Love” series as it is written by my dear sister, Michelle, who is also the very talented author of a love poem that I recently read on this blog entitled, “Present Distance.”
You can find Michelle here.
Seriously, check her out! I can assure you that you will NOT be disappointed.
I hope you enjoy my piece. Let’s discuss it in comments 🙂
PS: I will continue the poetry readings through Valentines Day. That said, you will not want to miss my reading of one of the baddest poets on WP, Braeden Michaels!
Love and Light,
LadyG 😘💋💋
