I love you! I love you? I love….Wait…

Miss Harlem Brown EyesZ- Shedding a lil’ light on ya!

Song of Solomon 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his.

Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman

There’s someone I befriended on Facebook who has encouraged me to continue writing online about life (the good, the bad, the pretty, the ugly, etc). She’s been nothing but supportive of me in the natural and the spiritual realm. God Bless her. Okay, so here’s the mini deal: I am generally known for being the one who always has a joke and a drawn out explanation for something. Here’s some real talk for you….So I pulled this blog back up I wrote a year ago. I also added to it recently. Enjoy because this same topic popped up in conversation this weekend.

November 2008

Awww! I have been getting an overwhelming amount of love on MySpace and I see a lot of ya’ll miss my opinions and advice on today’s issues. So I decided I am bringing my blogs back.
The most brought up issue I keep hearing about is love. A lot of you are asking what love is. When will you find love and the list goes on. Someone asked me this question over the weekend: “How well do you understand love?” I paused for a bit, realizing that love is a strong word. I gathered my thoughts and expressed them as followed:
I hope this blog ( and my future blogs) opens eyes and hearts to fulfill a better life. Love is priceless, but it’s a hardship. Love is free, but if you’re not careful it can bind you up.
I recently found that people are throwing the “L” word around like demos for the music industry. For example, I’ll share some of my experiences with you all. How is it possible I’ve had more than one person tell me they love me for the year 2008 and we were not even halfway through the year? Or how about in 2006, three claimed to have loved me and I couldn’t spit those words back out to them. How long have I’ve known them? Not long enough if I am publicly sharing this experience. Or even in 2009, on the first date I am asked to be his girlfriend? I am not necessarily denying the feelings these young men may have, but it shows you the world is moving too fast and many don’t know what they are truly saying. I’ve talked to many friends, associates, strangers and have seen the broken hearts and even destroyed self-esteem caused by their so called “lovers” who did not mean to say “I love you” to them. It made me wonder and it was on my mind to discuss this issue. I am not a love expert, but I’ve been blessed with wisdom beyond my years and I want to share that wisdom with you all!
My advice to all is, if you love someone …make sure it is confirmed within you and sincerely SHOW THEM.
Love is not just a STATEMENT, it is AN ACTION. Now, take a look at the definition for the word statement. A Statement is a communication or declaration in speech or writing, setting forth facts, particulars, etc. Take a look at the definition listed for action. An Action is something done or performed; act; deed. Apparently they cannot logically be compared to one another and must CONSECUTIVELY occur one after the other. In other words
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: If you love someone who you want to commit to….SHOW THEM and be faithful to that person and them only! Your love cannot be sincere ( as much you would think it to be) if you find yourself dipping and dodging in other people’s “love spots.” This means you do not love that person entirely. Men would argue the case and declare they have love for their girlfriends and not love the other woman they’ve chosen to cheat with. From my understanding, I believe that is true. However it is not justified as being correct. That is not an excuse to violate a commitment.
Don’t fall in love with someone’s looks, it’s just a shell and will later on fade away.
Get on track and know how to decipher between true love and “puppy love.”
Puppy love is a deceptive joy ride. It’s all in the mind and hormones, and it hits at ANY age.
True love is from the heart and beyond the subliminal. Love should make you feel for a loss of words. True love is confirmed through God and no other force. If He didn’t bless it, it ain’t no truth in it.

If you have to question someone’s love for you, it’s just “puppy love.”

No, don’t bash everyone who comes at you with the “L” word, but please be advised many will talk the talk ( As I can personally testify) but very few can walk that walk!!

So what makes me happy and optimistic about love in this age? I believe God will connect you to the “chosen one,” if you’re careful not to share your love with counterfeit lovers that cross your paths. Discern and recognize. Pray for it. It’s already in you.

Day 7 – P90x

TONY HORTON’s P90x SYSTEM

Wow! It’s already been 7 days! I am still in awe of the hard work I’ve invested into this program. I’ll be very honest: P90X is no JOKE when it comes to starting out. I have not mastered all of the exercises,  especially Yoga. If there’s one workout I’ve got to adjust my mindset and attitude for, it is Yoga!!!!!!!!! Not the easiest workout at ALL!  I actually prayed before doing that specific workout as I don’t want any uninviting spirits entering my home or within me. I feel incredibly energetic and more confident. I think I give off that vibe when I am walking around or surrounded by others.  I love being full-figured, but I don’t want to be plus sized nor physically unfit anymore. My goal size in women’s is to be a size 8-10,  and 165-180lbs with less than 20% body fat – which is full-figured, but not plus-size.  I believe my body type would be more comfortable in this size range, and not to say how I’d be flattering on a TV screen, lol!   These are my  main reasons for committing to this regimen. How are my eating habits? I am doing fairly well when it comes to vegetable intake. I want to add at least 2-3 more servings into my diet. As we all know food, quality food that is, can be very costly. I’m kind of happy that fast food prices are skyrocketing.  It puts me in a position to decide if I’d rather spend nearly $10 dollars on a couple of items from the supermarket to make an entire, balanced meal than to purchase a crappy meal from McDonald’s or some other fast food chain.  It’s a matter of budgeting and setting your portion throughout the day and the next. I’d recommend buying fresh fruit every two days ( a nice, personal amount) so that your produce won’t spoil on you.   So- What is my favorite workout out of all thus far? It’s a tie between Plyometrics and KenpoX. KenpoX is EXTREMELY challenging. I look forward to the day when I won’t need a rest in between workouts!

As for doing pull-ups, I have not incorporated these into my workout as of yet. They are optional, however I plan on purchasing a pull-up bar within the next week or two for phase 2 (week 4) . I’ve never done a pull up in my LIFE!!! I am excited to push myself to do the unthinkable! Ab Ripper X is …well…it rips!! Still have an issue with the very last movement on the dvd ( I don’t remember the name of it). Considering the fact that I’ve never done workouts like these before, I am doing pretty well!

I choose different times to work out as I haven’t found a time to stick to. Today I will begin keeping a log of what I eat and my activity (movement and workouts).  The eating logging reminds me of Weight Watchers, but it seems the core focus in P90x is strength training combined with healthy eating.

In conclusion, I’d like to say thank you to those who are supporting me during this movement as it truly means a lot to me. I will discuss within my next post an extended reasoning of my gratitude.

P90X WORKOUT STARTS TUESDAY!

Yes, my Brown Elite Loves, I am officially starting my body makeover Tuesday, September 20, 2011.  I will definitely post details and my feelings about the overall program. I am READY and I am SUPER HUNGRY for a better lifestyle. Eating habits are back on track, and I’ve got nothing to lose but only bad habits! If you’re on it or considering, LET’S DO THIS. We all need encouragement and affirmation while embarking on such a challenging and strength building  journey! I have plenty of dishes that I make  and will share those as well. I’m ready!! WHOOOOO! Let’s go! BRING IT!

God Bless!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13

124 Part II: Ready?

Hello my loves!

Today is the day of new beginnings. It truly amazes me how number and spiritual elevation correlates. This is the 3rd month of the year. ( There is a strong sense of unity with the number three- feel free to research) I want to make this journey very clear and simple, giving ample time for personal growth collectively and of course individually. Yes, I am vocalist. I do sing secular/gospel/ inspirational music. This year my musical journey will take off beyond what I can imagine; however, the old me – or rather parts of me- must die.

At one point in my life, I thought renewal of the mind, body and spirit was a once in a while “gig.” This is not so as life is an ongoing process molder. Regeneration of your words, thoughts,  body, spirit, beauty and wisdom bearing appetites are a priority that never ends. About two years ago, I successfully completed my 124 day project.  It was a project that consisted of me (and others who joined) living by 24 vows for 124 days for 1 season: Ahh! This equals 124. It was very exciting, liberating and magnificent!

This year, this one is a more intense, yet simplistic lifestyle. I will list down 24 vows that I will be living/abiding by starting tomorrow, March 7, 2011. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a new and bigger blessing of 2011: ChesZerae or (YOUR NAME HERE) : 124 Double Day Project (Vol. 2)

I will be using information from other sources and incorporating them into this blog. References will be made if applicable.

1 Chance 2 Be Yourself 4 Ever- This is your life God saw fit to bless you with. Are you going to live?

124 days – 24 vows- 1 life, love, wish-

Advice for the day: Don’t take everything to heart a.k.a Don’t take everything too personal.

My fave Scripture: Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Here are my vows:

1. Study all Proverbs and 24 Selected Psalms in Holy Bible

2.  Read one-two books per week (30 pages per day) Keep a journal handy.

3. Register my company. -Certificate from the state.

4. Consistent monitoring of dissolving and killing off self-defeating attitude.

5. Distribution of my music internationally.

6.  No phone calls during a certain time of day/night – I haven’t chosen a set time yet

7. Meditiate and pray every day at 6:30 a.m.

8. Commit to a workout plan 3-4 times a week

9. Abstinence- ( On the levels you choose)

10. From my temples to the soles of my feet, I respect my mind, soul and body

11. No cursing/alcohol ( Wine for health purposes- in obvious moderation)

12. Enjoy every moment of  “me time”

13. Dance everyday

14. Never go to bed angry

15. Embrace my flaws and uncondtionally love myself

16. Hug someone everyday

17. Perform my music

18. Trip by myself

19. Join a new church

20. Monitoring my comments based on individuals’  sensitivity levels

21. Making new friends, enhancing and building on seasoned friendships ( delete people who are negative, envious, unidentified  persons and spiteful – these individuals usually are categorized as obsolete in my life)

- 21a. Every question directed towards you does not require a response from you. Don’t feed dead spirited pepople who CHOOSE NOT to help themselves.

22.  Copyright 24 songs

23. Remain and/or become persistent, consistent in whatever you do

24. Map  (Write, Draw, Sing) out the next 10 years of your life ( Go ahead, give it a shot!)

I dare you!

On the road to new beginnings

This will probably be one of my shortest posts!!  I hope all is well with you  ( to all that are reading).  I am really excited to being my 124 day project part II. Currently I am in Nebraska ( for business) and am preparing myself for this upcoming experience. Remember no one really stops you but YOU. Not only have I been blessed to travel domestically and internationally speaking, but also symbolically. A new level of being, a regenerated and enhanced mindset. Are you ready for a new experience. Let us come together in unity and grow!!

Project 124 Day Journey Part 2

Hello few thousand of you!!!

As many of you knew, I completed a 124 day project back in 2009 and publicly posted about it. One season to do 24 pleasing things of God and self for 124 days. I really enjoyed this project because many of you joined me and chose your own 24 vows and maintained great communication with me. Guess what! There is a part two, and I will be writing in my online journal again at www.cheszerae124.com (HERE). This year I am solely thinking of everything as DOUBLE.  Double season, double reason, double blessing. Please allow me to be honest. I am not an individual who pretends to be all so-called “Holy, High and Mighty” and forces religion on people. I keep it real and am very honest about my lifestyle and outlook on Christian Life! So I’ll tell you this:l you are tuning into the wrong individual if you’re expecting fabricated and over -the- top sanctified performances. The closer I get to God, the brighter my light shines. I’ll never burnout.

My thoughts and words I speak into the atmosphere of 2011: (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SPEAK THESE AND/OR OTHER SITUATIONS INTO YOUR LIFE)

ENTRY 1:

So I went to bed at 10 a.m. & am still not used 2 being home. My heart is opening. I’m getting that deal this year. HBP is officially off of the ground. Adaptation, new connections/friends/management, worldwide music d., newfound eternal love, double blessings, exceptional health and mind, a cognizant, sane and peaceful mind for my grandmother, Spiritual elevation for my mother, favor for my family, my future husband and children, and I AM maintaining and will never lose my untainted joy that was given to me from above. And I wish nothing but the best to all of the pairs of eyes that will follow this project and to all of you that I’ve connected with on all of these social networking sites ( Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, BlackPlanet, etc.)! And this will come to pass.<3

Let us change our mindsets and hearts together my Elite Brown Loves and Fam.

Isaiah 61:7-9 (New International Version, ©2010)

7. Instead of your shame

you will receive a double portion,

and instead of disgrace

you will rejoice in your inheritance.

And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,

and everlasting joy will be yours.

Love,

ChesZerae
