Open Letter 8

[Spinderella]

Dear Sisterfriends,

It is now the end of May. Together, we all received our rejection letters in early March. The line that we were not selected for crossed into the ‘land of Blah Blah’ in mid-April. Let’s move on with our lives. Please stop calling me to replay why you think we didn’t make it. The why is no longer important at this time, because knowing why won’t change things.

Take stock of your life; we are still beautiful, we still contribute to society and we are actually financially richer. Even more so, if you count all the things the other women had to pay in becoming members and committing their lives to the most illustrious, dynamic, never duplicated sorority on Earth; the one and only Blah Blah Sorority, INNNNCORPORATED. God has a greater plan and being a member at this time, wasn’t it.

If the money is still burning a hole in your piggy bank, either donate it to your favorite charity, pay off some bills or go buy something very very nice for yourself.

If you Sisterfriends are the true hearts that I think you are, you will take time to reconnect with old girlfriends and other sisterfriends who are already in your lives. You will find that you are already part of your own sororities, in which, if you are as diligent as I am about picking my friends, you will already have some 'sho-nuff got ya' back women in your life.

Keep serving your community doing the things that make you feel good. Just because it was classified as self-serving doesn’t mean you didn’t ultimately help someone. Get over that point. Your time was and still is valuable to all people you helped. When you feel the time is right, then you can switch community service to be more reflective of what is needed.

But I implore you; search your heart before you do. Ask yourself 'Why would I feed the homeless, if I really like working with the kids in my school?' Keep in mind that women in the sorority do what they like and get involved in committees where their talents are best suited, too. Don't be fooled into thinking that members do 'painful' community/committee service work. And if it is painful, they do it with their sisters, so there is a bigger intrinsic joy. Don't go to the homeless shelter, by yourself, thinking it will get you brownie points if you would rather be somewhere else.

Sisterfriends, you are grown women, it is at this juncture of your life that you should be comfortable in your skin and happy in what you do. Don’t let ANYBODY take that away from you, EVER. We are long past the ages of 19. Some longer than others.

So in summary, if getting a rejection letter is the only thing that bonds us, please don’t call me anymore. But if you are calling to invite me to a community service project that you are doing, or to say that your kids are excelling/having problems and you wanted to share the joy or reach out for my help, most certainly, feel free to call at any time. I will be there for you. If you are calling to tell me a joke, make me smile, share your joys, please call me.

Don’t call me to say that you saw such and such. Don't call to ask did I hear about certain unpublished events--if a member didn't call me (and I know plenty), then maybe I'm not invited. (Perhaps if a member didn't call you, maybe you aren't invited either, hmmm?) Don’t call me to say you heard this, you heard that. Don’t call to say such and such chapter might be doing something next year, let’s try again. Don’t call to say “it’s their loss, I really thought you would make it.” Do me and yourself a favor, lose my number, because on this matter, I don’t give a rip. Life goes on and this is officially the summer of SPINDERELLA!!!!!

I will still Luv Ya, Sisterfriends!! (even from a distance)

PS Find some good-hearted Sisterfriends, go see Sex In the City on Friday and toss back some Cosmos. You’ll feel better! Make ’08 YOUR SUMMER!


PS 2--If you find yourself at a public or private Blah Blah Sorority Innnnnncorporated event and you are still neurotic about what colors to wear, IT IS OKAY TO STOP WEARING BROWN AND GRAY!!! Add some new colors to your wardrobe...perhaps oranges (rust to peach), yellows (canary to gold), purples(orchid to deep rich purple), teals, or turquoise. Wear colors that will uplift your spirits. It may take some time to find these colors, but when you do, it will be that much sweeter to uniquely represent yourself while feeling good in a color that complements your beautiful skin tones. Gray ain't never did nothing for nobody.


Red, pink (all variations ranging from fuschia to mauve), burgundy, green (ranging from olive or lime) or royal blue are not the only color games in town.

Dear JB:

You suck. I mean you really suck azz. You know dayum well you were supposed to send me that information for that meeting last week. I hate the fact that you are so nonchalant about this ish. Why am I not surprised? What should I expect from someone who's mommy and daddy probably still pay your bills? Oh, but you've been here longer than me. So, you should know better but of course, you don't. Also, if I get yelled at by our respective boss about the meeting not being handled properly, it won't fall on your shoulders. It will fall on mine. The new hire.

Dude. I really don't like you right now. So, please stay out of my office for the next two days. I really don't want to see your tub of lard slithering down the hallway to make nice. You are officially on my list!!!


With regards,

pissedoffone

Dear Best Friend,

As your sister & someone who loves you, I’m sorry that you’re hurting. As me…. I can’t feel that sorry for you because you put yourself in that position. When you didn’t leave after the first time you were cheated on, then after you were disrespected, it let him know that it was okay to do so. Granted, he’s an idiot and he’s not worth the bullet it would take to kill him. True enough, he will NEVER find another woman who even comes close to you. But, you stayed. You stayed when I did all but beg you not to, and then you bought a house with him! Ugh. You could have been happy & drama free a long time ago. I stopped crying about your situation when I realized you really didn’t want to be out of it. I still love you, though.

Dear ex-Fiance,

Happy early birthday. Old girl had best lay out the red carpet for you tomorrow! I’ll be listening to Ultra Magnetic MCs and Black Sheep all day in your honor.

Dear Soon-to-be-President Obama,


I’m so proud of you. You’re handling all the garbage, ignorance, and negativity thrown at you with grace. I’m going to do everything that I can to help you reach your goal. Don’t let me down!

You're going through that, too, huh? I have a close friend in a situation just like the one you described. As of this past week, I've given up on trying to persuade her. She doesn't want out so I decided I will let her make her mistakes and I'll stand on the side and be there to help her pick up the pieces. I don't know why some women feel like they can't be stronger than that.

"Pissed off beyond Livid" doesn't even cover it.

Happy Birthday Grandma MBJ!

Where do I begin?

From the age of two, you and granddaddy reared me to be the person that I am today. You didn't have much, but I didn't know that. One thing I did know is that I was loved. There was never a short supply of that in our home.

You are indeed blessed, and you pass those blessings on to everyone that comes in contact with you. You and granddad weren't educated people, but for folks that only had a 6th grade education, you were some of the smartest people that I have ever known. And now because of the way you've lived your life in front of everyone, God has rewarded you with 90 years on this earth. You remind me that life is still worth living, even in our advanced years.

I love you so much, and I'm looking forward to celebrating your life with you this weekend in NC.

Love you much,

'Rene
