ok so. i was watching one of my murder investigation shows and it was about a super rich mother of 2 that owns 3 very big and successful restaurants. she not only had a staff of dozens, she also employed her entire family - from her parents on down. [stay with me]

her wealthy husband is who invested in her first restaurant and due to it’s instant success, she was able to open the next 2.

after she was killed, her husband was charged with her murder and in true class-less fashion of a killer, he sold all the restaurants and had his attorneys come and fire her entire staff, her still-mourning family included.

[blink blink]

even though i was watching the episode from the beginning, i acted really brand new at that part. almost spit my tea out.

watchumean- he SOLD the restaurants??

WHAT THE HELL???????? how did the victim’s family just get ‘fired’ from their OWN restaurants??? THEIR NAME IS ON IT!!!!
THEY BUILT IT. THE CUSTOMERS KNOW AND LOVE THEM!!!!

i’ll tell you HOW.

remember i said ole dude ‘invested’ in it???? yeah well [on paper] he was the sole OWNER of the entire corporation.
at the end of the day - it doesn’t matter who did what with WHOM.

the court looks at ONE thing. . . papers.

honies, husband or not, don’t get caught up in riffraff when it comes to your BUSINESS. *shaking my head* that is NOT something to take lightly dammit. get your name on that paperwork!!!

51% or more of the business should belong to you. ON PAPER. PERIOD.

and i don’t care how much u like the twinkle in his eyes. please protect yourself!!! hmmppphh!!! *storms away*

:currently: in my bed, nyc.

:listening 2: ‘that’s the way love goes’ by norman brown

:feeling like: i’m livin’ SUCH a charmed life.. [thank u God/universe]

:thinkin about: how short life is. how we are SO mean and rude to each other as humans for no reason. there are so many sad people in the world that feel alone and that nobody cares.

:wishin: that this world wasn’t full of crazy [psycho] people that hate themselves SO much, that they insist [directly or indirectly] on making other people’s lives miserable

:reflecting on: the endless possibilities that are in .LovE. the constant learning and re-learning that is involved in obtaining it [if ever] the slippery little fingers we all get when we try to hold on to it. the convenient amnesia [regarding past hurt] that takes over when it comes INto our space.

:lovin: the slow [but sure] spiritual growth that i continue to going through. seems like most of what i thought i knew, i had a lot more to learn about…[and still do] it’s the most refreshing fEeLing to evolve in this way. to be at peace with those things in [or OUT] of our lives that we have no actual .LovE. for [it's alright] don’t mean u have to waste spiritual energy [to the point of your own detriment]
i have grown into this ILL internal place of pEacE. it is a warm blanket for my fragile E.motionaLities… [yEs, my own word] i was so free to give them away before… i am now a lot more selective as to what will penetrate into my skin. [VERY selective] i’m learning to separate the intensity from the anger and turn it into [productive] passion. learning how to be calculating before proceeding. treating my tears as if they were my diamonds of .LifE. [not wasting anymore of them]

:learning: to reeeeeally rELax, rELate, and rELease…. achieve zen even when it seems impossible. to counter-act all negative energy that comes into direct contact with me. 2 approach obstacles as low hurdles instead of road-blocks [it CAN be easy even tho' it's so damn hard right now] nothing in life is final, everything is an on-going work in progress . . . . . . . [till we die that is] to never look at a mortal with immortal vision. for guaranteed satisfaction, only see eternity in the divine.

:experiencing: life on .LifE.’s terms… forgiveness of my [own] trespasses and trespassors alike.

:shedding: fear, regret, insecurity, resentment, anger
