The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" was written by Gertrude Stein as part of the 1913 poem "Sacred Emily", which appeared in the 1922 book Geography and Plays. In that poem, the first "Rose" is the name of a person.
My Rose, she was black, beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, and educated. A role model emulated as a blueprint for achieving "the dream" that with enough determination, sacrifice didnt seem hard for her to do, it may have been garnered by skill and strategy yet, she made appear like learning how to dance following in her footsteps.
But,as I developed into my own woman becoming a Rose wasn't easy as it seemed. Those qualities were defined by years of being disciplined, using common sense leaning on her intuitive nature. All those things I lacked, had no exposure to but, from the distance thought "if she could do it surely I could too. Imitation is the best form of flattery, but that too was impossible. God only made one Rose 🌹 Uniquely
It wasn't her outward appearance, or prosperous achievements that made her illuminate, but was her inner beauty like roses strong stems a few thorns, but years of pruning, nurturing, and having been planted in good soil, gives a flower solid foundation to come into full bloom to be loved and admired. That takes time and patience.
God only made one so beautiful and gave her to me. My Rose 🌹 her beauty and grace will always live eternally. She planted enough seeds in the women she inspired her Soros and community. Her mission was education. Because knowledge is POWER. The POWER to control your own strategies and destiny, in order to make sound decisions and have great discernment even under tough persuasion. Remain respectful, dignified and civilized especially in mixed company. And always, conduct yourself as 'a Lady'. Teach people how to treat you.
I love you ROSE 🌹 my Aunt-Godmother, my heart, my mentor,my counselor, and my confidant.
"Til we meet again" 🙏🏾💜

Thanks for letting me share 🌹#SHOWSOMELOVE #PROLOVE
It was during a phone conversation with a person who I 'd known for over 30 years that I considered to be "a friend" during a debate we were having concerning a mutual friend, when he blurted out "Shelle I'm not your friend!!! Granted... it had been awhile since we had talked or even seen one another but it was just me who over the years assumed that since we'd shared lots of secrets;early on had one chance encounter with sex, but the relationship remained platonic. Which led me to assume all these years it was safe to refer to him as "my friend." It hurt me so bad that in the moment, I just hung up the phone on him. Blocked him on social media, and deleted his number from my contacts. To some that might seem extreme, but for me it was a shock! How did I misjudge who I thought was friend, he wasn't an enemy I knew too much about his life to call him an acquaintance; or Was I just that lame?
Definition of friend1a: one attached to another byaffectionor esteemShe's my best friend.b: ACQUAINTANCE2a: one that is not hostileIs he a friend or an enemy?b: one that is of the same nation, party, or groupshowbiz friends3: one thatfavorsor promotes something (such as a charity)this trend has alarmed friends of the liberal arts— Raymond WaltersThe friends of the library will host a fund-raiser.4: a favored companion5capitalized: a member of a Christian sect that stresses Inner Light, rejects sacraments and an ordained ministry, and opposes war —called alsoQuaker
What's the difference between friends and acquaintances?
People often distinguish between an acquaintance and a friend, holding that the former should be used primarily to refer to someone with whom one is not especially close. Many of the earliest uses of acquaintance were in fact in reference to a person with whom one was very close, but the word is now generally reserved for those who are known only slightly.
Acquaintance is often found paired with nodding. Although nodding acquaintance sounds like it describes a person who is known just enough to nod at, it tends to be used instead to refer to a thing or field with which one has a small amount of knowledge or familiarity (and this is the meaning that the phrase has had since its introduction to the language in the early 19th century).
It made me re-examine many of the folks in my circle of love maybe, my feelings were hurt because it was a hidden truth about me GOD was about to reveal. I remember another friend who told me many years ago that I looked at the world through rose colored glasses, chasing rainbows. That was in 1987, being young and fine I laughed at that notion because I always prided myself as being on top of everything and very well read on all subjects; topics, and all the latest fashions. It must be some truth to the saying "Ignorance is bliss," so I been told, but my firsthand knowledge is even one better.
Years, passed away since my friend spoke those words and that friend had long died too, so I never had the opportunity to tell them how right they were about my false perspective on life in general. It took some years for me see clearer after being betrayed by both male and female friends, used, and verbally & emotionally abused with intimate friends to snap out of it and remove those rose colored lenses while going through the storms of life. I realized that there was not just one individual but many who had watched me go through that journey, not many who stuck by me during those times.
Long before the internet, social media networks, and contacts were a thing I use to surround myself with lots and lots of people I called them "friends" throwing wild birthday bashes at the club, cook outs spending lots of money on me and my female posse. We'd be glammed up and turn those parties out. Traveling. During those days, money was never an issue needless to say friends were plentiful with a few to spare, but when I got into trouble financially and had to go to my grandmother for counsel and support she asked me "where are all those friends at now?" Good question, that I had no prepared answer. Of course that's when she gave me the best advice ever to this day I still rely heavily on her words people will come and go but the one person, place or thing that's always consistence is GOD!
Grandma said simply..."TRUST GOD"...
John 15:12-15
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
May God continue to bless you, #SHOWSOMELOVE @Lovleeannwise 2022 all rights reserved
Knowledge is Power and the prerequisite to Man's Destruction in this Final Age.
Alpha and Omega
Death was the only Promise made by GOD in the Garden of Eden when he warned Adam his 1st son not to part take of the Trees in the midst of the garden..
Yet curiosity killed the cat, in our case it was an inheritance forfeited in ignorance.
Even though GOD knew Man had been fooled he made provisions for his survival through time. Based on his obedience.
To this date, we still continue to "Fall" short of HIS Glory, and Divine Will for us his Children.
We are "The Kingdom" on Earth
While we seek out a Vengeful GOD to destroy Earth, we fail to look at ourselves and how we treat the EARTH and the fullness thereof; we fail to to take in consideration the prejudices we hold against our own flesh and blood Sisters and Brothers in Christ.
Each One of Us belong to GOD.
Somehow we preach prosperity, and tell the world how we love GOD, but fail to deliver each and every time. We often put our own selfishness ahead of being kind and empathetic toward someone outside our tribal community. Then we have different Status Levels within those tribes or groups we tend to call friends and family.
Ignoring the commandments of GOD, his blueprint to prevent repeating the same mistakes expecting different results. Is written all over the both Old and New Testaments. The Bible tells me so... (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)
It actually demonstrates each of the Ages of the stages of mankind's development. He still falls from the same 3 Things that causes us to die in sin.
Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today, eh eh
Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today, oh oh oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Yeah, what's going on Ah, what's going on
In the mean time Right on, baby Right on brother Right on babe
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long Oh, you…
There’s an extra special treat coming Earth’s way – a Blue Moon on the night of Oct. 31 for Halloween.
What is a Blue Moon?
According to modern folklore, it is a phenomenon where a Full Moon appears twice in one calendar month. Typically, each month has only one, as Full Moons occur about 29 days apart.
Our first Full Moon of the month – known as a Harvest Moon – occurred on Oct. 1. This is a name given to the Full Moon happening closest to the autumnal equinox – the first day of fall. The Blue Moon coming up is respectively known as the Hunter’s Moon. Rising in the early evening, the Hunter’s Moon was given its name because it provided plenty of moonlight for hunters to gather meat for the long winter ahead.
One way to make a Blue Moon is by using a blue filter. That’s what a photographer did back in 2004 when he photographed this Full Moon rising over Brighton, Massachusetts. Credit: Kostian Iftica
While the informal phrase “once in a Blue Moon” refers to something that rarely happens, the same definition rings true for the skies this Halloween. These moons are of significance because they only come every two or three years. In fact, the last Blue Moon occurred on March 31, 2018.
Contrary to its name, a Blue Moon has nothing to do with the Moon having a blue hue. However, very rarely there are actual blue-tinted Moons due to particles thrown into the atmosphere by natural catastrophes. In 1883, an Indonesian volcano called Krakatoa had an eruption so large that it was compared by scientists to a 100-megaton nuclear bomb. Lots of ash from the Krakatoa explosion rose into the atmosphere. Many of these ash particles were about 1 micron in size, which could scatter red light and act as a blue filter. This resulted in the Moon appearing blue.
Blue-colored Moons appeared for years following the 1883 eruption. Many other volcanos and even wildfires throughout history have been known to affect the color of the moon. As a rule of thumb, in order to create a bluish Moon, dust or ash particles must be larger than ~0.6 microns, which is the wavelength of red light. Having said that, what we call a Blue Moon appears pale grey and white – just like the Moon on any other night. Having a second Full Moon in one given month does not change its color.
October’s Blue Moon, however, will be the first Blue Moon to appear on Halloween since 1944. This moon occurred one month following the introduction of the Aggregat 4, or the V-2 rocket. This rocket was the first vehicle capable of reaching the edge of space. In years following, the Apollo Saturn V became its direct descendant.
As we approach October 2020’s Blue Moon, the Artemis Generation prepares to explore the Moon’s surface from a lunar base. NASA’s Artemis program is named after the twin sister to Apollo, the Sun god in Greek mythology, and she is known as the goddess of the Moon. There hasn’t been this much momentum to return to the Moon’s surface since the Apollo missions.

FLOTUS Michelle Obama - ....and let her works praise her in the city gates. Proverbs 31
OUR FIRST LADY A CLASSIC MODEL
Michelleopposite of Michael meaning of names; Archangel which means the chief of the angels. Michael has an important meaning as well, it means: (one) who is like God.
The First African American President and First Black American First Lady & daughters Sasha and Malia during the first Presidential Inauguration 2009
This is on the heels of what was too magnificient for words but I'll give it my best. In honor of Our First Lady Michelle - to all the Michelle's wherever you are no matter who you are She represents all ....
Women as a shining example of a Virtuous Woman. I love appreciate history and anything Classic like music, the arts, antique cars and antiques they are so lovely to admire. Then we spend a small fortune on them to preserve and keep them nice for all to admire and say "wow you're classey, great taste," well growing up as a young girl I used to hear Big Mama say "only thoroughbreds win the race", and I would be bewildered. She meant as women the only success stories are the not the well read, but the well bred, what you're fed. (experience, strength, wisdom, and hope)
Women have alot of demands these days and because of our need to be all places and all things to others I' being one of the many "Classic Models still hangin around, check out some of the groups you'll find many Classic's in the tradition of "Big Mama" but snazzier than ever. We are built to last Ladies. So in order for us to remain strong we need to honor that which is inate in each of us the gift to do all things........when you know where you get your strength.
In my eyes she distinguishes herself among the most admired First Lady's in the country's history i.e., Jacqueline Kennedy, Nancy Regan, Hillary Clinton, and even Martha Washington. She equals her husbands strength with all the same elegance and grace. She's a woman with lots of titles; mother, corporate attorney, daughter, sister. Now First Lady Michelle Obama should be heralded among thee greatest women who the Prophets wrote about their contributions to family, society, and overall Charity(Love). We also have to pray for our new First Lady that she can be strength for her husband in ways we might not even be able to imagine.. Truly illustrating that she is his helpmate and backbone.
As I watched them on television dancing to At Last and Beyonce' serenade it was breathtaking and enchanting at the same time.
I salute you Mrs. Obama you are truly a lady. And your daughters were little ladies and reflected your influence on clearly a family that prays together grows together and can also represent a great nation. Whose purpose is as The Wife of Noble Character _ Virtuous Woman as defined in Proverbs? Can you identify.
Personally I admire the fact she has brought her Mother, Mrs. Robinson to assist keep her and the family grounded on levels we don't understand we all could use someone like (Naomi) advised Ruth for the kind of encouragement only we as woman know about. A mixture of tough love with tenderness and care. Not in unhealthy ways but like the mother eagle who often has to toss and save her young while teaching them how to use their own wings to fly solo. Indulge me sisters in spirit as I send compliments to all women who might be entrepreneur's, and homemakers who actually have to manage their family day to day operation for some do live in large family estates. They face challenges too even if they have means in other areas and are often women in leadership positions as First Lady's of Presidents of Nations or Huge Congregations, CEO's wives. Woman often take for granted they also have more demands, expectations of their time. To much is given, much is required... We embrace all women with/without stature our goal is to achieve success ultimately Give her credit for what she has accomplished, working with Dr. Jill Biden to serve Military Families all over this Nation. I will keep this nation and our First Family in my prayers and will be in service whenever I can. Women that Build Women-Up is a blueprint of many Great Women who to me stand up with wisdom like Ruth and as Naomi she incorporates strengh from outside her traditional family circle sharing and embracing another attitude towards sacrifice learns to be groomed by Naomi how to walk into her promise Boaz. Caring enough to reach out by offering our own experience and testimony.
PRAISES TO GOD for all of the "Virtuous Women"
Every RUTH should have a NAOMI 15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.” 16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
The Virtuous Woman - Proverbs 31...And let her works praise her in the city gates.
31:10 Who can find a wife of noble character?
For her value is far more than rubies.
31:11 The heart of her husband has confidence in her,
and he has no lack of gain.
31:12 She brings him good and not evil
all the days of her life.
31:13 She obtains wool and flax,
and she is pleased to work with her hands.
31:14 She is like the merchant ships;
she brings her food from afar.
31:15 She also gets up while it is still night,
and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.
31:16 She considersa field and buys it;
from her own income she plants a vineyard.
31:17 She begins her work vigorously,
and she strengthens her arms.
31:18 She knows that her merchandise is good,
and her lamp does not go out in the night.
31:19 Her hands take hold of the distaff,
and her hands grasp the spindle.
31:20 She extends her hand to the poor,
and reaches out her hand to the needy.
31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22 She makes for herself coverlets;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
31:23 Her husband is well-known in the city gate
when he sits with the elders of the land.
31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
31:25 She is clothed with strength and honor,
and she can laugh at the time to come.
31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and loving instruction is on her tongue.
31:27 She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed,
her husband also praises her:
31:29 “Many daughters have done valiantly,
but you surpass them all!”
31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
31:31 Give her credit for what she has accomplished,
