Rest in peace Jeanne Cooper aka Katherine Chancellor Murphy

     I'm so sad right now because on May 8, 2013 Katherine Chancellor Murphy played by Jeanne Cooper on "The Young And The Restless" died at age 84.  What an amazing character!  She will be so missed.  She stated out in The Young and The Restless in 1973 up unto May 3, 2013.  She was one of the longest-tenured actresses in the American soap operas.  Her character was fiery, feisty, and absolutely fantastic.  She was known for her style, elegance, grace, and above all her constant battle (which has lasted over four decades) with co-star Jill Abbott Fenmore played by Jess Walton.    
     Katherine Chancellor Murphy a/k/a "The Duchess" didn't take no mess from nobody and she spoke her mind no matter what.  She started out in the show as a drunk, rich, high society chic and has evolved over the years into an amazing friend, mother, and grandmother. Y&R will never be the same without her.  Rest in peace Jeanne Cooper!

Mother's Day, time to celebrate.

     Mother’s Day is less than a day away and I want to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to all the mother’s out there.  My family is going out to eat for this Mother’s Day and we are all excited about celebrating our wonderful mother, Mrs. Lucy Hooks.  She is truly the rock of our family and it’s because of her I'm here today.  I so appreciate you, Mom, and I love you so much.  I'm reminded of this bible passage in Exodus 20:12; 

12  “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

     I really hope you have your candy, flowers, bottle of wine, or movie tickets ready, and a nice meal at a restaurant already planned for mom’s special day.  This is not the day for Mom to cook.  It’s the day that she should be honored.  How do you honor her? Show her respect, patients, kindness, love, value, and esteem.  Know that we all have faults and that your mother will never be perfect.  Yes, we mom’s too make mistakes; although as a woman we don't admit them.  It’s not in our nature.

     Although not perfect, remember that she is the one that brought you into this world and if nothing else you should love and thank her for that.  Men, remember that your wife is the mother of your kids’ and it’s your job to make sure that your children honor their mother’s.  Yes, that’s your responsibility; just incase you did not know.

    Let us all enjoy this day and celebrate it with our mom’s if we can, or at least give Mom a call just to say, “I love you.”  You never know what tomorrow will bring so cherish her now.

     If your mother has passed away already you can release a balloon, take flowers to her grave, or plant a flower/tree in her honor.  This is your girl Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.  Please don't forget to share on facebook or twitter.

     

Three Woman Imprisoned by three brothers

     Today, I woke up and rolled out of bed before my alarm was set to go off at 6:20 am; instead I'm up at 6 am wondering what the hell!  I feel like I'm sleep walking.  You see, of late all I've been able to think of is that which can not be known for there is no person that can answer my questions, and there are so many unanswered questions in my mind right now.  Why are good people with good hearts made to suffer while people of low moral character are elevated and allowed to excel?  How does it happen that three young women are locked away in a house (a prison) like animals for ten years while their captures live their lives free?  Ten years these women will never get back and now they come into a world that's just as unsafe as the prison they just left.  They will have to learn how to adjust to a world that they don't know, where there are worst demons than the ones they were freed from.
     I can't imagine how awful it's going to be for them to remember ten years of repeated abuse.  Ten years of hoping for freedom or that someone would just notice them and care enough to help them.  It's my prayer that they stick together because no one else will understand their plight, their hurt, or their pain.
     Today they have joy because they are finally freed from their hell but tomorrow when the dust settles they will think of all that's been lost to them.  Precious moments they can never get back; going to the prom, graduating high school, going to college, seeing a mother's face and feeling her touch knowing you will never have that again, and falling in love.  All these occasions they missed because someone decided that their lives didn't matter, no more than a piece of furniture to use as needed.  Today, they have a little bit of peace, today they feel safe and secure with their families, but for how long?
     Soon they will be traumatized over again by going through a court case where they will be treated like the criminal, where their lives will be put under a microscope, and where they will wonder if it's all worth it.
     Then there's the fact that our society will mark them as damaged goods.  They will be seen as poor victims and not as beautiful women that are alive today and can say I survived.  They will from now on be remembered as those women who were imprisoned by three brothers.  A hell of a legacy to carry.
     Today we mourn for them but they don't need our mourning; they need our support, our empathy, and our love.  All three of them will need our encouragement, maybe a shoulder to cry on, an understanding ear, or just someone to say I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
     I thank God for the man who answered a call because he heard a cry for help.  Today, I celebrate you sir because not everyone would step up that way.  You know them,  "the it doesn't concern me folks."
     Every day bad things happen to good people for whatever reason, it is my hope that someone will answer the call for help and not ignore it.  Maybe then more lives would be saved in this world.

That Bond Don't Carry No Weight

Boy!  That bond don't carry no weight.
A touch of pressure and surely it'll break.
Them words you preaching don't have no real meaning
That dreamy little world was created by a sneaky little snake

I'm here sitting, eyes closed, and lost within the depths of my troubled soul
As you stand there dreaming of your own perfect little world
"My God," I shout out!  Can he be this clueless or does he think I'm just foolish
To believe in this life where I must share him with this other girl

I'm just thinking with every lie he's preaching,
Can you please release me from this demon
Cause I'm sitting here trying to pretend
Like the love I had aint gone with the wind

Look!  That star is just shining innocently
It speaks to my heart, "saying be free"
I listen to that call and think it's for me
So I just smile and stand up, cause I've been freed.

My Friends Need Your Help

     Alright everyone.  I'm stressed.  I'm trying to help a friend and her family get back on their feet; right now they're in need of a car but have bad credit.  While I'm in need of prayer because I'm exhausted right now.  I drive her to work (which is about an hour drive both way), then pick her up from work, and I'm currently trying to help her son get a job.  Please, don't take this as a complaint because it's so not a complaint.  I believe that sometimes God puts people in your life for a reason and it's completely up to you to find out what that reason is.  Besides I help them because I want to, so that's not the problem.  The problem is they don't have a support system here, so my family and I are their support.  Plus, they seem like really good people.  They just hit hard-time and are having to start over again.  I just really need something to go right for their sake and mine.  I need rest and to do nothing for a day; just a day.
     They live in Bay Minette Alabama and if you know someone who will finance a car for a person with terrible credit please let me know.  I'm talking about a dependable car or truck; a truck more than a car.  Hit me up at my email address Ladypj32@yahoo.com.
     Before I forget if you know of any companies hiring it will be so appreciated if you would send that information to me.  Much love to all of you and as always I'm Lady PJ; information is power so be informed.

P.S.  Pray for me and that this mountain is moved out my way.
