Encouraging words of wisdom

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)

You Got Dumped by Philessa Hooks Jenkins aka Lady PJ

You Got Dumped
Written by Philessa Hooks Jenkins
Aka Lady PJ
Copyright 2/19/2014

     Okay, you got dumped by your boyfriend or girlfriend and you feel lost; now what?  I say, it’s time to just love you and heal.  Heartbreak can be so hard to handle and it really does take a lot out of you; so mourn for a little while and then pick yourself up. 
     How do you pick yourself up? It’s different for everyone. For instance I like to laugh so I usually watch some comedy; that always works for me.  You could throw darts at his or her picture but that would only fuel your flame and build hatred; unless you do it to vent.  It’s like a release then.  The worst thing you could do is keep calling them, or keep going to see them.  I know it hurts but you only look like a lost puppy that nobody wants.  Do you really want to have this kind of image?
     I tell you what you can do, how about writing a goodbye letter to them with all the things they did to you then burning it. It would be like a release party where you’re the only attendant. Hey, you think following them around is better; that makes you the stalker guy or gal.  Yes, you’re now at a different level of pathetic. You got dumped and if you don’t stop following them you could be charged with stalking even cyber stalking.
     While I do understand that you’re hurting you have to understand that you can’t stay there.  You have to get up and live; life goes on. Although, I don’t suggest that you find a new partner yet. You really should take some time for you.  I like to be pampered; so go get your nails done, your hair done, and buy a new outfit or two.  I’m a shoe shopper and yes I have a lot of shoes. Laugh Out Loud! I am the “pick-me-up Queen, Honey!” Pick me up another pair of shoes; sometimes I just make up a reason to go shoe shopping. Enough about me let me get back to the topic!
     Let me just say that in time all sorrow heals or subsides.  You eventually have to realize that this relationship is gone but in time you’ll find a new love; that hopefully will admire and adore you. For now just be yourself, enjoy your life, and appreciate the things you have; like no more drama. I’m your girl, Lady PJ, much love to you all.

"Don't play with my heart"

Don't play with my heart!
Written by Philessa Hooks Jenkins

    If I open up my heart to you and I say come in; don't play with my heart.  Ladies you feelin me?  We as woman are like open doors; sometimes we open the door all the way and other times it's just cracked open.  I tend to be quite the "just cracked open type."  Yeah, well I'm overly cautious.
     A lot of my friends are givers; meaning they give all the way (the door is open all the way from the start).  They also tend to be the most hurt when things go awry.  You have to be very careful with givers because you never know how it's going to turn out because in the end they might be the hardest to get rid of.  You know the "I bust the window out your car" type.  Laugh out loud!

     I'm going to say it out loud men and I hope you hear it "don't play with my heart!"  I feel that if you're going to be out there with all types of woman doing this and that then just tell me in the begining that you can't be faithful.  Right, woman?  Hello, just say that your a manwhore.  Yes, be honest for a chance.  It's the new millenium for goodness sakes, some woman are more understanding and they might want to play with you.  I of course am not that type.  I'm very selfish.  I expect my man to be completely about me and nobody else.

     Life is too short to live with a cheater that doesn't respect you or respect himself.  Why hold on to someone like this; just let go and let him be with somebody else or be somebody else's problem. Don't let him "play with your heart."  This is your girl, Lady PJ, enjoying life and loving it.

"Happy Valentine's Day"

     I just want to say, “Happy Valentine’s Day” to all of you from your girl, Lady PJ.  Today is the day to show your love to your special someone and I really hope you put your all into it.  I'm hoping that you remembered to say "happy valentine day."  Personally I believe that you should show your love every day and not just on one day.  Love is so very important for survival; it breathes life.  When you find that special someone you should let them know daily because it keeps the relationship fresh.  Relationships are like flowers they need constant care and nourishment.  Today take the time to honor him/her with flowers and candy or jewelry.  Quite frankly I'm that girl that wants it all.  Yes, I'm greedy.  I want to be showered and pampered; give me a day at the spa.  Listen, flowers, candy, and jewelry in the morning, the spa in the evening, and diner at night.  Laugh out loud!  I want it all.  
     Much love to all of you, this is your girl Lady PJ.  Ladies enjoy your special day.

It's Your Day

“It’s Your Day”


     I always think about picking myself up when I’m down.  I use to think that was a bad thing, always having to pick myself up, but now I know that it means I have the power to endure all things that come my way.  You have that same power within you.  No matter how hard things become, or how tough the road ahead of you gets just push through because you can make it through anything; if you believe.  It may be hard my friend but it’s so worth it.  Every day that you wake up is a chance for you to love, to laugh, to enjoy life, and to live life to the fullest.  You have the power to make your day good.  What a wonderful gift that is right?  I challenge you to say to yourself, “I can make it through anything.”  Say it out loud and believe, then put a big smile on your face because today is your day.  It’s your girl, Lady PJ, saying that I believe in you and now it’s your time to believe in yourself.  Much love to you all.

"My bag of misdeeds" by Lady PJ

My bag of misdeeds
written by Philessa Hooks Jenkins
aka Lady PJ
2/10/2014



   I thought about my footsteps and the road ahead of me, 
it made me think of all to come and where my life should be.  
I found myself just smiling then a peace came over me.  
Right then the word forgiveness meant so much more to me.  
I held myself real tight and thought of all the wrong.  
My mind sought some kind of reason to explain it all you see, 
and then I began to write; I thought it would set me free.

     I grabbed a bag and wrote forgiveness on one side, 
and my wrongs on the other.  
Then I grabbed some paper and cut them into equal parts.  
I wrote the first thing that came to mind when I thought of my wrongs 
but on the other side I wrote the good things that came of these wrongs.  

The results were an eye opener for me 
because with every misdeed that came my way 
God sent an angle to me.  

Sometimes you don't see the good 
because you're too busy looking at, 
thinking about, or obsessing over the bad.

     I encourage you to do your own bag of misdeeds and concentrate on the good things that came from the bad.  You'll be surprised.  I know I was.

This is your girl, Lady PJ, saying "much love to you all and remember that information is power so be informed."

Young And Restless fires "Michael Muhney"

Young And Restless fires "Michael Muhney"

     How do we move forward when ignorance is the truth we hold to?  It appears that some people are having a hard time dispelling the difference between a real live person and the character they play.  We watch our favorite characters and we become close friends with them even cheering them on when they finally get the upper hand or achieve a much desired goal; like when poor Dorthy was finally able to get her shoes back from the wicked witch of the west thus achieving her goal of going home to Kansas.  Don’t you just love how make believe turns out so well.  It’s complete bliss.  I think I might cry.  Wait, that’s not a tear.
     What tremendous joy we get when our favorite character’s enemy finally gets what’s coming to him/her and our character wins or comes out victorious in the end!  We all love it when Victor Newman defeats Jack Abbott over and over again and again.  Victory!  I tell you I just love how “Madea” gets in and out of jail all the time, that “Madea” is something else.   She can get away with anything and I mean anything.
     Though we love them with our whole heart, sadly, they’re but characters playing a part and that’s all they’ll ever be.  You see those people playing those characters we love so much are very much alive and they’re not at all like the characters they play; they’re just like us… flawed, and imperfect beings that constantly make mistakes.  I know… so disappointing. 
     Some people really need to have a writer to rewrite their life or write it!  If I could write my life out it would be so juicy; like sleeping beauty juicy without it lasting over a year or years (maybe like… two weeks of sleep).  Laugh out loud!  Of course my prince would be especially designed for me.
     Michael Muhney is a real live person but his character is Adam Newman.  Michael Muhney, the person, has been fired from “The Young and The Restless” for inappropriate behavior.  Some people think it’s absurd.  How dare they fire him!  I say, “If Mr. Muhney has in fact done what he’s been accused of (groping the breast of Hunter King) we owe him no praise” and I love the character he played, Adam Newman.   
     Clearly through his actions he’s abused our trust and we cannot allow that to keep going!  I’m saying that firing him was the right thing to do given the circumstance.  I leave you with this and I really hope you think about it; “what if Hunter King was your child, your sister, your niece, or your grandchild,” would you think this “alleged” incident was alright? 
     How about this… let’s stop hailing these people (stars) as model citizens because they’re so called “stars” and start looking at them as flawed human beings; just like us (some times better but sometimes worse).  When you get a bad batch of something you don’t keep it, you throw it out with the trash.
     It’s your girl, Lady PJ saying, “Much love to you all and don't go dumpster diving.” Laugh out loud.

The Fighting Squirrel by Lady PJ

The Fighting Squirrel

     The other day I observed a hunter shooting a squirrel.  He thought the squirrel was down for the count, so he decided to look for more squirrels, thus leaving the one he shot at the bottom of the tree.  That old hunter was confident he had secured his kill; a lot of us are like this you know.  We go counting our eggs and all before they hatch.  I guess to some scrambled eggs are just as good as fried chicken.  Hum!  As I was saying we get greedy thinking that we can always go back and secure our kill and not thinking that something could go wrong with it in the meantime.

     A few minutes later I looked at the bottom of that tree for the squirrel and I noticed that it was gone.  I was going to pick it up and put it in the truck.  Yes dear that little squirrel was desperately climbing up that tree with all the life left inside of him.  Inside I was cheering him on; quietly cheering him on.  I tell you at that moment I was in awe until I realized that no matter how far he goes he's still going to die; only thing is it won't be on somebodies plate.

     Don't you want to be like that squirrel fighting with all it's might to live and enjoy the time you have now?  It's your girl, Lady PJ.  Much love to you all and have a great day.

Life is what you make it


Life is what you make it...
so live the best life you can by being happy
