Want vs Need

I’ve said this in so many different ways, but it’s always worth repeating – it may reach someone that it didn’t reach before.

I may want you in my life. I may want to be your acquaintance, friend, business partner, etc., but in order for there to be ‘order’ understand that the only relationship that I need is with God. He is my support & through Him I prosper.

Why do you do what you do?

Why do you get up in the morning? What floats your boat? Do you do that to make your living? Or have you made sure that your work schedule allows enough time for you to love your life? What are you doing to make a difference? What is your purpose in life? Why do you do what you do?

Me? It’s all about connections. I love people! I love listening, watching, learning, building, comforting people! A virtual acquaintance wrote:

Hi Melanie. Wow! I love your portfolio. I have never had so much interest & excitement & fun reading someones portfolio. I wish we were nearby neighbors…
I would boast that I lived in the same City as “Melanie Richardson”

I don’t know if you’ll get this message cause of how super busy you are, so I’m chancing it. Basically, yes you are MUCH more than your “ass”. It’s not debatable when I say you are one beautiful & stunning woman & it’s obvious that your body is jaw-dropping amazing & well take care of. But outer body appearance doesn’t completely define a real model. A real model has skill, is photogenic, can be versatile with expressions, poses & has confidence shining through their eyes…..
you have all these things, your absolutely gorgeous & professional & I love it!

I also think there’s so much emphasis on beauty that people forget to build up & beautified themselves insides. One day we will look like grandparents right? As humans, our perspectives need to change. If we work overtime on our inward beauty, our behavior will naturally look beautiful externally, (whatever a man thinks so is he)… the eyes are the gateway to the soul & if you stare at the eyes & countenance of the man, you’ll soon see the mans heart. Having self worth & great confidence is important. It’s evident that you has these qualities. From what I read & see, I’m convinced that you are such an awesome person!

I’m a writer myself. I focus lots on poetry & such. So when I say this, I truly mean it. I’m giving you a standing ovation for your writings on “Men! Ima need you to… ” & “From My Father’s Knee” & “He is…”. Many wows to you Melanie! I love how you communicate articulately & yet simplistically. Great work!

May God cuddle you with perfect love,
S.

All the best to you,
God bless you huge.
S.B.

Isn’t that great? May God cuddle you with perfect love! Wow! Wow! This is what it’s all about. It’s really not that complicated – we make it so. Just reach out to people and meet them where they are. Lend a hand, an ear, a swift kick in the tushy, extend whatever little bit of yourself you have to offer in whatever way you can. Period.

*Should I explain the reference to me being more than my a$$? Nah, another time.
