I changed the topic just a lil I thought this was more fitting  Well, sis, I enjoyed Terri McMillan's book, (thought the movie version of it was mediocre), certainly understood, but never was feeling the title, "Waiting To Exhale". And I began to actively dislike it when "Waiting To Exhale" became the Black woman's mantra for being "single but seeking", right about the same time the "electric slide" became our official tribal mating dance, lol!  So now, whenever I hear someone use "Waiting To Exhale" to describe some instance, season or present state of their lives, just like bro giants, I say (or at least think to myself) Stop Holding Your breath Because "Waiting To Exhale" for more than a few minutes will just make you "faint" and that's never a good thing in the physical, the spirit...or the Bible. And worse, "Waiting To Exhale" for too long, deprives your body, soul and spirit of the "INHALE" they require, resulting in brain damage....and eventually, death. So, starting right this very moment...... LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE,....and SING! but you cannot do anything, until and unless you..... BREATHE!!!![/i] ( Sing with me, sis jess!.......) This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me
And I I'm desperate for you
And I I'm I'm lost without you...
I'm desperate for you..
I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost without you..
I'm lost without you
I'm desperate for you.....(LOL! I just noticed that I had a "Dr. Seuss" moment in there!  ) |
