Love It or Hate It we have a Black President! (Shawty "What You're Thinking")

I'm always trying to create if I'm not thinking about what to create, I'm thinking about how can I create. It's an ongoing function in my brain (I don't want to try to find something to write about but sometimes I do). The purpose for my blog is to share my love for crafting and living life as a black lesbian. There are times when a post is like writing an English essay on grammar, hard, but I will continue to write until my thoughts come through my fingers so in this post I will be sharing my new t-shirt that I've named 44. 

I made it to honor our 44th president, Barack Obama. Now, I know a lot of people don't care for this man but I don't care equally that they don't like him! It is my pleasure to have a decent man who genuinely cares for our world and it's a perk that he's black. In a lot of ways I feel connected to this man because I can relate to the discrimination he goes through on a daily. 

Being black and a lesbian I'm a triple threat, I know I only mentioned two labels but most separate my sexuality and gender, so watching and listening to what he has to face everyday I can completely empathize. But, before this turns into some equality plea I want to stay upbeat and move forward.

Today (and I'm excited) I'm sharing the love I have for my President of the United States, Barack Obama and the entire Obama family! No criticism, no nagging and whining about what he hasn't done, just the respect the leader of the free world deserves, some true "Appreciation"! No matter his do's and dont's he's our president and I wanted to share what inspired me to make this t-shirt but for the life of a charge against a guilty cop, I can't remember exactly what helped me come up with the fabulous idea to make P.O.T.U.S (44) but I know (fo' sho) it has something to do with crafting and the internet. I just know it popped in my head and I started building it in my craft artist two editing software.

As I venture towards earning my place amongst this world wide web I'm reminded how hurtful things can be (Family Hurts) at times but regardless of my achievements and how painful the journey can be I'm grateful for the opportunities that God has allowed, so please enjoy the track and as always "Happy Creating from 2ufromus"!

Words of Encouragement... B dotCroc "I Want More"

Even when I don't have everything I need and some of those

items don't work anymore or are gone, I move forward and think how can I utilize what I have so that I continue towards success. I practice to never give up especially when it seems like it's not possible. 

Now my story isn't one where I can tell you I made it and I'm this "BIG" Success but I can tell you how I persevere and keep working towards my dreams. How through the pain and frustration I still create and learn how to move on when I'm met with cold concrete.

I have so many wants but it's my haves that are invasive and not in reach. This story, this blog isn't to gain sympathy or charity but to build confidence and acquire skill. I create, music, graphics, crafts, food, games, etc..

The picture below is a tshirt I made about 4 or 5 years ago. I no longer have the machine to cut but I have reminders of my love and what work lies ahead. I will print and cut again but in the meantime, I will share so that my determination may inspire someone who feels like it's not possible. Don't quit just find a way to calm down. Walk away so you can gain your composure. This is important and it works for me. 

If your equipment or platform is gone, this is important, let it be. If you don't have the means to fix it spend your time thinking of alternatives. Other ways to accomplish your goal. I mean think about plan b, c, d, etc. Once you begin to move forward other avenues (doors) will begin to open up in your mind. Sometimes things take days, weeks, months even years to complete so don't let an obstacle keep you from crossing that finish line. Just do what you have to so you can do what you want to (easier said then done) but it's true.

As always I have to leave with a video and a song. I'm a creative soul and if you didn't know now you do. If I could rule the world it would be through craft and music. Until next time, Happy Creating from 2ufromus!

Women and their Music! B. Steadwell & TE "Keeng:

I wanted to combine my love for music with my love for crafting but I don't want to include those who don't want to be included. Even though I don't understand anyone who doesn't want recognition for what they do. In my life, the love I have for women never mixed for my love of music until recent. It wasn't until I started searching for women like me who lived, loved, and died with a women that I started hearing music that spoke of my joys and pains. I knew then I wanted to support these women and myself any way I could. Some how giving us the recognition we deserve. Rather it was music or some other form of creative art. I wanted to be part of that success. I realized that becoming stable was more than making something and asking someone to buy it, it required a community of people who held different positions that all had the same goal in mind. That from our specific role everyone involved would earn recognition and resources to financial freedom. Rather directly or indirectly.

Now I'm aware that not everyone will see eye to eye but hopefully with respect and hard work we can reach the intended goal and that is taking care of what we cherish. I realize that I have to spend time recognizing what level my skills are on before I expect anyone else to.

I believe that I must have confidence to stand in judgement because opinions don't cater to facts but instead feelings that fuel the statements that describe what one sees, hears, or touches. Even through the obstacles I begin to understand my position and where I want to play it. I love family and have no friends because with time they become family. I have the opportunity to combine the two in perfect harmony and I will express them with no hesitation. To read more of my post click here!
