Wine, You And Me...

I'm feeling a little sensual tonight so I need you to turn the lights down, grab a glass of wine, turn on some Miles, Kinda Blue, may I suggest, cuddle up in your favorite spot and come inside my mind. Yeahhhh, that's nice, I feel you. Now take a slow sip of wine, relax and let me do all the work.

Take a deep breath, now let it out. Ahhhh, there you go.

Check this out. Is there something in particular that makes you feel good? And I don't mean anything that might bring harm to another person, let's get that shiggity out in the open! I can see some sicko taking my words and twisting them to justify their own madness! Let it go right now. If that's what you're about, go head with yourself, this ain't the place for you! Now as I was saying, yeah, take another sip of that Merlot, Meritage, Shiraz or Syrah. Me, I prefer Kendall Jackson's Merlot or Meritage, but do you! As a matter of fact, hold on a minute, I'ma go get me a glass of wine too.

OK, I'm back. May I offer a toast? OK, to you, me, happiness, abundance, freedom of expression and fulfilling lives! How's that! Ohhhh, this is good!! Say what? Oh, pardon my manners, I poured me a glass of Merlot.

So as I was saying, listen baby, you gotta do you in this life. It's the difference between life and death. It's that serious. You know, we have a tendency to live for everybody but ourselves, but that ain't cool, you know? For example, it wasn't easy to follow this dream of being a poet. My mom and dad had other aspirations for me when I first went off to college, but they weren't my aspirations, so I rebelled. Now that I've found my way back to me, as I like to define it, I work hard at doing things that make me happy. Like what? Well dancing! Bet you didn't know I liked to dance!!! Well you mighta known if you have seen me in the club particularly every weekend, and I mean that literally. See there was a time when I would let folks opinion and the stereotypes about going to the club dictate my actions. Now I don't really give a hoot. God likes to express Himself as a dancer through me, and I like to let Him do His thing. Besides, when I get ninety-nine, I want to be able to give my grandchildren examples of how I sucked the marrow out of my life!!! Won't be no shoulda, coulda, woulda stories from me!!! Shoot, I'm going to be able to give examples:) Or at least examples I can share with them.

How's your wine? You need to get a refill? Oh you good? Cool? Check it... Tell me, what do you like about yourself? Go ahead, ain't nobody here but you and me. Yeah? Uhaa, I see that. Right, right. Ohhhhhhh. Yes!!! See that's what I'm talking about! Lift yourself up. Don't wait for a woman or a man to tell you how bad you are, tell yourself! Me? Oh, there are a lot of things I like about me:) I like my eyes, my smile, my genuine heart, my caring spirit and of course the gorgeous body my spirit is housed in. I like the fact that I never give up. I'm learning to love me, you know. And I hope you are doing the same thing. As a matter of fact, I know you are, I can feel and see it. I see you growing, accepting, reaching, really putting forth an effort to make this wonderful thing called life better for you. And I applaud you. Hold up, let me get up and give you a standing ovation! (clap, clap, clap, more claps) I'm very proud of you. If you haven't heard anyone say those words in a long time, please allow me to say them to you...I am proud of you!!!!

OK, we need to go to bed now! This wine has gone to my head and I'm ready to crash!!!

Until next time my friend, stay positive, love yourself and give God the glory!
Take care of yourself and each other,
Marina
