So...my baby and I drove to Beaumont, TX for his 20th Class Reunion about two weeks ago. We had a great time. I met his old high school friends and his mom. They're good peeps. There were so many people at the dance that night. We danced, laughed, and had a great time. They played songs from the 90's that made me think back to my high school days...wondering if L.W. Higgins will be having a reunion for the Class of 1995. Hmmm??? So, after the reunion, we drove down to Galveston, rode the ferry, and walked along the beach. It was hot, yet breezy. We definitely needed to just getaway. Sometimes, getting away from it all is all we need. It can provide such tranquility, a peace of mind, and relaxation. So, for those who are just discovering my blog page...here's an FYI: I love to travel and see/experience new things. So, you'll see plenty of pictures posted and talked about on my blog page. Can't wait to share all my great getaways with you all. While in Galveston, ...

With any Preparation there has to be Provision. This morning I woke up giving thanks to God for allowing me to see another day. Then I searched for a little inspiration to start my day. I was lead to Joshua 1: 8-11. It pretty much talks about being successful and preparing yourself for provision. With my personal relationship with the Lord, He always uses various ways to show me glimpses of what I can have. I'm not just talking about material things, but a sound, peace of mind as well. So, He's been showing me & placing in my spirit that this is my Season. This is my Season of Change, Shift, Blessings, Love, Overflow, Prosperity. I have to make the necessary Preparations for the Provision. I must be ready. I AM ready! Are you? Miracles, Blessings, Love! K.R. Brumfield

I hate to see or hear of anyone struggling, especially when they're putting forth as much effort as possible. So many times it seems as though when we try to take two steps forward, we're knocked back four. On the contrary, the key word there is "seems". Just because things "seem" to look a certain way, doesn't mean they actually are. For as Christians, we are to walk by faith and not by sight. I know at times this may be hard, but it is very much possible; which leads me to my Blog title: "Never Underestimate the Power of a Praying AND Fasting Woman". When things "seem" to take a wrong turn or "seem" not to work in our favor, that's just a small indication that breakthrough is just around the corner. So, instead of giving up or giving in...I decided to hold on and fight! When I talked to my mother last week, she informed me of all the things my brother was going through. He had been struggling and under attack by the e...

The other night I was watching the story of Whodini (Old-School Rap Group) on TvOne's show called Unsung , and I had a flashback. It made me think of one of my older cousins, and how he would sing one of Whodini's song to me: "You got a Big Mouth...a Big Mouth...Big Mouth...Big Mouth...You're mouth almighty, tongue everlasting..." That's because as a child, I talked, and talked, and talked...until I got a little older and got tired of people calling me "Polly" or "Pollyana" or told over and over that I talked too much. So, somewhere or at some point over the years, I just shut down. I stopped talking as much. Then it seemed as though I got extremely quiet and just started writing more. I had to learn to rechannel my thoughts and verbal expressions. Anyhow...I thought the segment on Whodini was okay. I gotta' say that I don't blame Jalil for making the decision he made to ride out Jive Records, because too many Record Labels try to g...

Chapter 1: Girl Talk Tanya started asking Kevin questions because she felt as if something was going on; maybe there was another woman in his life. That would explain why he would never be home whenever she would call. His excuse for that was that he would be chillin ' with his boys. Now this so-called excuse was starting to make Tanya jealous, because she felt as though he was starting to put his boys before her. Being the naive person that she was, she began to believe any and every thing that Kevin would tell her. Yes, no doubt, she was definitely sprung! Tanya began to do something that she said she was not only going to do since the first time he lied to her. She was going to trust Kevin. She started believing his excuses for where he would be or what he would be doing, which were really lies. She believed him all the times he said he loved her and wanted to make her his wife. The messed-up part about that was how he would bring Tanya around his family and also discuss marria...

So, I went home for Mardi Gras. I had a great time. I hadn't been to a parade in years. Mardi Gras just hasn't been the same since I was a kid. It used to be more of a Family-Friendly environment, but nowadays there's potential violence. Nevertheless, there were no fights or shootings in the area we were in. When I say we, I mean my mother, two of my aunts, an uncle, three cousins, and myself. We went to Zulu & truck parades. The music and smell of food being grilled in the air was quite nostalgic. It made me think of all the great times as a child when the whole family used to go on down to Napoleon & Claiborne Ave. every year for Mardi Gras. That changed as we all got older and as the crime rate increased in New Orleans. The marching bands rolled on through with their trumpets and horns blaring and drums banging. The Zulu "Tramps", as they were originally called, pranced right along with their Afro wigs, grass skirts, and painted faces. The floats were v...

Whitney Houston dead at the tender age of 48. When I got the call from my cousin Danielle, the first thing she said to me was, "I'm just going to get straight to the point. Whitney Houston has died." I was like, "What?!!! Are you serious?" She said, "Girl yes!!! Danny just called me and told me it's on CNN right now!" All I could do at the time was hold my mouth open, say OMG!, and turn on the TV to CNN. What really touches my heart the most is how so many talented people generally have to suffer so much. Nevertheless, the Bible does indeed say, "To whom much is given, much is required." I say that to say this...Anyone who is in the limelight will always be just that, in the limelight. Their lives will truly be scrutinized. When they're in the public eye, it's as if they no longer have their regular lives anymore. They can't just go to the store as they used to before they came famous, which is really sad. Here's something...
