First of all I would like to say that I made all this (meaning my
Family) with the help of God, my family and my hard
sweat and tears and before we get any further in this I want you to
all grove with me to Janet Jackson and I want to Congratulate her
on he New Album. Go ahead girl and keep doing what you've always
been doing and that being YOU. So lift your hands in the air and
wave them like you just don't care (LOL) Fabuloso.. You go girl, do
your thang! I love all music, Contemporary Jazz R&B are my
favorite. Going to Concerts, festivals, comedy clubs and LMAO to
Katt Williams and all those funny guys that really keep it going for all
of us who love to laugh....
To warn you for starters my profile is one that will take about
3 or more days to read... so make me your friend so you can come
back and visit. (Big smile)
I THINK I DID EVERYTHING BACKWARDS (lol) BUT MANAGED TO COME OUT
OK AND BE SAIN ENOUGH TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.. (lol) You can throw me
out on my back and like a cat, I spring to my feet before I hit the
floor. Cool, but I'm getting a little too old for that manuver(LOL)
so Ive taken a few doses of the "act right pills" and I think I'm
doing better now.. WILLING TO BE THE TARP TO COVER THE MUD SO YOU
WON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT... BUT ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!
Raising my four children (my yongest is 20) has been my greatest
accomplishment and greatest joy of my life. They have been the
anchors in my life and the Lord knows I needed at least four to
keep me grounded... With them I have had many laughs, struggles,
and triumphs and they've helped me be the woman I am today. My
pictures are all recent and many folks have asked how the heck do I
look so young, and have children that are so old. I tell them they
keep me young coupled with the fact I've been running from the
devil for many years now and he'll never catch up to me because God
made my shoes (LOL) and when I was standing in the skin line in
heaven, God told one of the angels "you see that little girl over
there, put her in the Buffalo skin line because she's going to put
herself through hell and she's going to need it" (smile) and boy
was that the truth!...Thank you Lord (LOL) Now my kids are grown, I
travel and all I want to do is do what I've never had the time to
do, and that's be ME.. let my hair down and let the sand run
through my tooties. I've screwed on my earthly wings and I am ready
to fly and just have fun, because I deserve it. Not many people are
in the position I'm in, meaning having true happiness and joy in
their heart. The Lord has shown me favor and I wanted to use my BP
page to express my gratitude to him for that.
I'm in the Financial profession by trait but I'm a writer in my
heart. This is the GRACE you would want to meet (smile). A little
inside joke there (smile) I'm not on here for a hook-up, I 'm on
here to network with Writers, Producers, Musicians and see where we
can help and encourage one another.
In my spare time, I promote my three daughters in their singing
careers. My oldest daughter has some of her work on CD baby under
the Artist "Chela" Album is "Latin Queen" She writes all her
lyrics. She won a National Writers Competition on her song "Latin
Queen". She has other work that she's written and I would like to
network with someone very talented in the production field to
change the sound of some of her music to propel her career and make
it happen... I have lots of talent right here in the confines of my
home and they definitely get it from there Mama (Big smile)... My
other two daughters also sing . My daughter Maureen's voice sounds
like a cross between Alicia Key's and Phyllis Hyman, you can view
Maureen"s (Momo's) and my Baby Krista (baby Kakes) pic's on line.
My little one Krista is 20 and she sounds like Monica. You can see
all their pic's on my BP profile-line
When I was a young school girl, I use to call myself Mrs. Quincetta
Jones not because I wanted to be Quincy Jones wife, although that
wouldn't be a bad thing, but it was because I wanted to be known as
a writer and a great one like him..Therefore I write and I use to
sing. I was blessed with three beautiful daughters who sing and
write and a beautiful bouncing baby boy that is no longer a little
boy but a grown and responsible man that I am proud of and he is
the joy of my life..Last but not least the newest addition to my
family, My grandson Julian, that will one day God willing be
another music icon in the industry. He is my little JuJu..
~Food for thought~
I've learned in life thing's can always get worse, put they
definitely get better through hard work, perseverance, visualizing
and having a healthy state of mind. For that reason am getting
closer to my mark and I've met beautiful people along the way. If
you can get into the same mind and accord, you will fly like a bird
and sore like eagles.
 This is something I wrote from an experience I had
a few year back and I call it:
~Not knowing how to die~
Sick with the loss of disaster, my life hung by a string, never
being there, only having life experiences to sing.. I toss and I
turn at night in despair ..wanting, waiting, hoping you would take
my life, if you dare. While my misery is so great, not knowing who
or how to hate; Waiting for a solution, soaking in my confusion...
Asking...what is it I have to learn, while my heart burns.. I wait
for your answer in my moment of grief, lying alone in my room
wanting one moment of relief.. I yelling out to you Lord for an
answer, a call, a note, a whisper in my heart..
Accepting a boat ride from a friend, he offered me a moment of
solace.. He goes down stairs to watch T.V, I stay above to I see
your peace, your grandness in the Sunset, and the flowing water.. I
take off my clothes in the beauty of what I see, tears falls from
my eyes in gratitude of your greatness.
Jumping out of the boat I felt the need for your cleansing,
asking you to baptizes with your strength and the beauty I see in
what you've created.
Jumping in, I felt the dash of water touching every inch of my
body, bubbles tickling me as I rise to the top. I look over as
always for my point of reference but not seeing the boat anywhere
insight. I don't panic being raised by the water but the boat was
about 3 cars lengths way.. The current!!! ok it's got me, no
problem I thought...I try to swim and swim, getting no-where fast..
My lung started burning, so I try and float... only, to no avail
..
Fear floods in my veins and my life passes before me.. Not
really being able to accept my life has come to an end but I laugh
a little in disbelief and understanding for one moment that the
joke was on me.
Lord what happened to my hopes, my dreams... the path I was
destined to follow? You told me I was going to triumph, I was going
to succeed in all my dreams and all my passions?
Treading water just enough to stay afloat, trying to understand
and accept the bitter pill I'm being asked to swallow, death has
come at my door, an unexpected knock I must answer... as soon as I
say my last word of acceptence the Lord floods me with a peace that
was surreal... I felt this warmth around me as if coddled in his
arms. All fear subsided as I ask for peace for my family and my
kids I would leave behind.
God don't let my mother have a heart attack, she's is an old
woman and will not sustain.. How will you let them know I wasn't
scared? That you coddled me to the very end...By the way do you
think you can throw some clothes on me, my kids don't know that
wild side in me... Just kidding, I just thought I would get you
back for you making me believe I was going to do all those things
you told me I would. You know!... change the world one person at a
time.. Ok, you got me ..and I know, it kept me going all those
years and smiling too.
Ok God you got me and I was always happy in that thought, I get
it..you knew what made me tick, but it's ok because you got me now,
right in the palm of your hands and you're going to take me to the
other-side and I know that, so.. were cool.
Now, you know I almost drowned as a child remember..and I don't
want see the darkness, dingy cold black and green darkness as I
did as a child, before the ocean decided to spit me out ay back when.
I am going to take the water through my mouth up here. Two huge breaths of
fresh air and one big gulp of water through my wide open mouth so I
will pass out up here.
As I took the first breath of fresh air staring straight at the
water like a champ, feeling no fear accept the unexpected, as to
what's going to happen next God? I took my second breath, still
staring down and the water, it seemed to be staring right back at
me. I took my last deep breath of fresh air as I said in my mind
"ok God you've got me" as I was at the tail end of my last breath,
I heard my named called from far away " GRACE!!!" and I looked up
and seen the bright blue sky I said "where are you Lord?" I was in
a state of shock and confusion because I didn't feel a thing, no
drowning, no fear, nothing... just looking for who will pluck me
out of the water because I hear you calling me. Where are you God,
Jesus, Gabriel somebody!!! I thought.
It was silent and I was looking for sort of a thick glass like
appearance, like in the movies, splitting the two sided apart, life and
the other side heaven on earth like... Where's that shield Lord!!!
Where are you, I'm still in the water floating, treading water,
where are you! !! Then I heard my name again but this time because
I was looking and more aware... although I thought I had past on I
I was looking for someone to pluck me out of the water. I looked
toward where the sound came from and there I seen my friend and I
though, what is HE doing here? I looked at him in complete
comfusing not saying anything... trying to make sense of it all and
he said "What are you doing over there?" Then I suddenly realized I
wasn't dead, I was still on earth and very much alive and still
very much in the situation I was in "DROWNING" !!!
I looked at my friends still kind of confused and Yelled out
"honey I'm drowning!!!". He jumped up real high and started sort of
running in circle, not really knowing what to do. Start the boat,
but the boat was dock at the two different ends and it would take
too long to untie. He hung his body over the boat and said honey
swim to me and I said I can't make it to the boat, it's too far.. I
could see the fear in his eyes and in the tone of his voice and it
made me realize once again the reality of my existence still on
earth and the raw reality of my surroundings, and the perdicament I
was in and above all that I still had a great hope of survival and that my
family wouldn't have the pain of my drowning. I was still alive and
very much alive and on earth, although my lungs no-longer were
burning because I had been resting as I was making peace with God
(smoking the peace pipe as I would say) My friend said swim to
me. I yelled out "please don't let me drown It look like those words
put a more desperate look in his eyes making me more scared and the
fear pierced right though me but the sight of hope made me swim
with all my might to mid-way to the boat where he was hanging
from.
My lungs once again started burning. We kept missing each other
at the deperation of trying to make that connection, we kept
missing and the slippery water didn't help. I couldn't believe I
was so close to him, his hands, the boat and yet still not being
able to save myself in anyway. To be continued
