Miss You...because you were One in A Million...

Sometimes when we move forward its good to take a look in the rear view mirror to see where we are coming from. Today was a.."Back in day ...when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore"... kind of day. I was thinking about what my next step would be in self discovery, and then I began to remember all that I had come out of and the dreams that I had purposely forgot about. I found a Resolution...I began to listen to the therapeutic melodies of R&B's late angel Aaliyah. I could not believe it had already been almost ten years since we said goodbye to her. I began to think about her career at the time of her passing. She was the "IT" girl, she was making black beauty commercial and irresistible. She was More Than A Woman...At the time of her passing she had already accomplished so much, but it was clear to all that she was just beginning to reach the true potential of what her career should have been. What if the cliche saying "Tomorrow is not promised to anyone" was true? What have I accomplished? Am I at a place where I feel like I'm reaching my goals? Today, looking back at myself ten years ago, at age 16 watching an Aaliyah video trying to figure out the choreography....re-focused me. It reminded me that back then, I realized that if a girl from Detroit could make the country fall in love with her, because of what she loved to do. That I too could do what I loved to do and be bold in it! So as we continue to move forward in another year, maybe we should think back to our Aaliyah days where we may have stashed some of our dreams away, and bring them back driving them forward into fruition...Because I Care 4 U, I'm going to remind you that At Your Best you are love and a positive motivating force....That is Hot Like Fire!!!
