He showed kindness to everyone around him. He was a phenomenal singer and Dancer he left his mark on the world 🌍. 

Please keep the Jackson family in your thoughts and prayers, as they remember Micheal today, they all loved Micheal very much, everytime I saw Micheal on tv he would always have a happy smile on his face and a hug ready to give someone , he loved his fans and always make sure his fans are happy and that were encouraging themselves at his concerts. He loved his kids very much, and made sure they had a happy and joyful childhood.  I love a lot of Micheal Jackson songs, one of my favorites Is Bad, and Black or white.  

We are also remembering Chadwick Boseman it was the anniversary of his death yesterday, he was also an incredible and amazing man and made an incredible mark on the world even in the amount of time he had on earth. He made incredible movies and has touched a lot of lives and hearts, and will always be remembered. He will Always be my Black Panther . And check him out in the James Brown movie and the Jackie Robinson movie 42, he does an outstanding job in those movies, and the one with Viola Davis also  Ma Raineys black bottom. 

 Today I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Queen Latifah and Common, the movie starts out with Leslie Wright who is a die hard basketball fan, and she is also searching for a boyfriend all the guys she has met tell her they only see her as a friend.

Leslie is now the owner of a house and she allows her good friend and God Sister Morgan to stay with her,  Morgan is a little flighty and irresponsible she dreams of becoming an NBA Basketball Wife, Leslie and Morgan are just coming back from a basketball game a New Jersey Mets Game Scott McKnight who is a player on the team meets Leslie at a Gas station. 

And Leslie helps him at the station they have a friendly conversation about basketball and jazz, he invites her to his birthday party.

 Leslie attends the party she also brings Morgan who immediately sets her eyes on Scott she is intent on getting his interest and pretends to work with the homeless shelter and claims to have no interest in Scott at all, he is intrigued by Morgan and tracks her down .

They date for three months and then he proposes, Leslie has some skepticism about their relationship she’s glad to see Morgan is happy, a couple months later Scott is playing in his basketball game  The NBA 2009 All - Star Game and he injures his leg and suffers a torn PCl which puts his basketball career in jeopardy.

Scott has a physical therapist Morgan becomes suspicious of her she begs Leslie to take over and be his live In physical therapist, however tensions are arising as Morgan is forced to spend more time with Scott and finds herself disliking him.

There are rumors going around that Scott’s Career could end Quickly if he doesn’t recover by the playoffs,  Morgan leaves him a letter, and decides to leave him by telling him that in the note, despite the awkward breakup Leslie continues to help Scott recover , she encourages him and helps build his confidence, and helps in his recovery.

 They bond over their love of music and basketball, Scott expresses surprise that Leslie isn’t seeing anyone, he begins to see her in a more romantic light, Leslie discovers that Scott plays piano , he says it’s one of his secret hobbies, he is able to return back to the NBAs just before the playoffs and wins his first game, after a pep talk from Leslie.

After that impressive win the Nets offer him a five year contract to finish out the series, as a thank you to Leslie he presents to Leslie her grandfathers classic mustang which he has remolded and restored and has left the dent in the door which reminds her of her grandfather, he takes Leslie to dinner and they share their first kiss together you will see what happens when you watch the movie.

 What happens after that is Morgan comes back she arrives at Scott’s door hoping to reconcile, telling him that she has been In therapy working on her abandonment issues which led her to leave Scott in the first place. 

Scott feels he owes it to Morgan to work things out, he reluctantly lets Leslie go, Since Morgan is back tensions arise again as she continues to plan their wedding and Scott wants to take things slow, Leslie finds out she is being head hunted by many basketball teams because they are impressed with her and how she helped Scott with his injury.

 She gets an offer from the nets which she is excited about it means she’ll be around Scott again, she reluctantly turns the offer down, she then decides to interview teams far away from where she lives to put some distance between herself, Scott and Morgan.

Scott is In a interview and he credits his recovery to Leslie, after praising her he comes to the realization he loves her, Morgan who has been watching the interview also realizes Scott’s feelings for Leslie and urges him to go to Leslie and reunite with her. 

You will have to watch the movie to find out what happens next I can tell you it’s a happy ending.

 I decided to write about this movie today because I am celebrating the anniversary of my diabetes today it’s been five years, I was diagnosed five years ago today August 29th 2019, with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes I went into the hospital with a 1500 blood sugar level, most people with that high of a sugar level are in a coma. By Gods grace I was alert and I could still walk and talk.

  I knew something was wrong I was going to the bathroom constantly and I was constantly thirsty and wanted something sweet all the time, the  night before I went to the hospital I was on campus at school in my apartment and I had gotten sick 🤢, I texted my mom and told her I think I need to come home, my mom came and got me I went home , and she had scheduled a doctor appointment,  I went to the doctor and told her my symptoms and then she checked my blood Sugar and said my numbers were so high, I had to go to the emergency room, they were 1500.

 I was in the hospital for two weeks, they were trying to figure out how to keep my levels in range, my dad drove me to the hospital and kept me alert ‼️ Which is a good thing, If he didn’t keep me alert I could have went into a coma. 

The Hershey hospital and the doctors and nurses and diabetes specialists took very good care of me. My diabetic doctors are continuing to take good care of me they say I’m doing a great job in taking care of myself and my numbers.

 I believe I am like Scott he had an unexpected event happen to him while he was playing basketball with recovery and physical therapy he overcame the injury and came back better than ever, and with my diagnosis I had a recovery process and it took me some time to learn about diabetes and everything that comes along with it, and now I know all about my diagnosis and what to do and what medications to take and how to take care of myself and continuing to live a joyful and happy healthy life despite the diabetes. 

I may have diabetes, diabetes does not have me, there are some tough times and days where I wish I didn’t have it, I am glad to still be alive, and be able to laugh and smile 😀 and sing 🎤 and enjoy my family and friends. I’m giving God all the glory and honor because he is my king 👑 .

I want to thank all of my family and friends and my church family who has supported me and encouraged me and keeping me happy and Joyful and filled with positivity it means a lot to me. I believe that my pancreas will be healed one day until that day comes I’m going to keep doing what I need to do to take care of myself and living a good life.

 If you are going through a difficult and stressful time right now, I want you to know that you are an overcomer too and will make it through whatever you are going through. And that you are loved and cherished and have family, friends, and other people around you that can help you and support you with whatever you need. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good rom com !
