I’m tough. I’m not rough. There’s a difference. Know that difference going forward, if your goal is to change your community, your world, into a better place for everyone. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight Advertisements

THE GOOD-BAD LIFE
Reach for the good life that can be. Stop reaching back to the bad life that didn’t work. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
MEEK
My mother wanted me meek. So, I was meek for her. But I’m not meek. It’s not my nature. I’m not a lion, where I’m going to eat you up. I’m not a lamb either. Maybe I’m just the animal I am. Can you accept that? I’m just the animal I am. ~ Sharon Lee…Read more »
STRAW | CAMEL
I am the straw that made the camel stronger – by taking the bale of hay off her/his back. I am not the straw that breaks anybody. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
DANCE
It is the song that determines the dance, not the other way around. The dance never comes before the song, whether in your mind, your body, the universe of you, or a sound that you hear or a sight that you see or a presence in your soul that you feel. The sound of your…Read more »
A SIMPLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IS REQUIRED
Benjamin Netanyahu urged the USA to go to war against Iran because a past Iranian president denied what happened to Jews during World War II a holocaust/genocide, yet refuses to call what the Turks did to the Armenians 100 years ago the holocaust/genocide it was. The USA, under the guidance of President Barack Obama, supposedly…Read more »
HUMAN NATURE
You: Do you think I’m stupid because I’m black? Me: Do YOU think you’re stupid because you’re black? You: No. Me: Good. Then we’re on the same page. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight It’s strange how when you call yourself stupid, people believe you. Call yourself smart and they’ll become indignant and immediately try to prove…Read more »
“THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT JIHAD”
NO. There is no life WITH Jihad. Only death. You don’t want to live in a world where the purpose is to live to thrive, so you fabricate a reason to live to die and make others die with you, so you can quickly go to a heaven you know nothing about. “Let’s just skip all…Read more »
INVEST CAREFULLY WHEN BASED ON SCIENCE
Science is always wrong till it’s right. Then it’s still wrong till the next new right comes along. “This is what we know now.” Be careful what you put your stock in – where you place your money. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight UPDATE: 27 June 2015 “Science is often flawed. It’s time we embraced that.”…Read more »
ROCKY STARTS
All starts are rocky. I never had a start that went smoothly. Never had a start that wasn’t rocky. So, it must be the nature of the ‘start’. The inexperience and uncertainty of something new, even if it’s something sure, creates rocky. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
GUNS AND ISIS – You don’t need a gun to get into heaven. ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR BY YOUR GOD
If you need to commit acts of violence in order to feel alive before you blow yourself up, remember THIS: when you get to heaven, those you blew up will be there with you. I’d hate to think what that fight is going to look like. On earth as it is in heaven. God trumps…Read more »
WHEN YOU’RE ‘CALLED’!
When the government ‘calls’ you, it’s for the purpose of putting yourself in harms way to protect and/or advance the group via the military. When God ‘calls’ you, it’s never to give your life so that others may live. It’s always to live your life as the example to others to do the same. ~…Read more »
PROPHECY
You don’t fulfill a prophecy and call it holy by starting a war that was predicted. Once you know the prophecy, you stop the war before it starts. That’s the holy part. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
MY SECRET
I’ll share a secret with you about myself, that I’ve never communicated to anyone. Years ago while still very young I read somewhere, either in a newspaper or magazine or book, that if somebody could actually write the way their mind actually thinks they’d make a million dollars. I’ve been trying to make that million…Read more »
PREACHERS PREACHING PREJUDICE
Instead of the congregation leaving the church with a ‘no one can beat us down’ uplift, they leave with a ‘let’s beat them all up’ attitude that rolls the congregation into a week of day to day challenges, that they’re less able to meet with positive solution solving ways. Oppressed people need to vent in…Read more »
SWITCHING ON AND OFF YOUR PREJUDICES
Blacks in America have a lot more ground to cover as a result of decades of ground lost due to the prejudice preached in their churches. It won’t take you as long as it did white people, because you saw them falter through the process of sensitivity and learned from their mistakes. If you’re living…Read more »
NOT EVERY BAD ACT IS THE RESULT OF VENGEANCE
What goes around comes around isn’t about getting even; it’s about the example you set. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight from lbt
JEW AND BLACK ARE NOT THE ONLY 2 PREJUDICES IN THE WORLD – as both would have you believe
The American Jews need to stop acting oppressed when they’re not. The American Africans need to stop calling themselves slaves when they’re not. Both groups dim the cries of other oppressed groups, and enslave a nation and a world by screaming about their own past that is over. Neither the NAACP nor the Anti-Defamation League…Read more »
FIND YOUR FAMILY NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE
It’s no fun not to have a family – a family you always thought you had – but don’t. Wherever you are in life, make strangers your family. Chances are, they need a family too. Sad turned into happy. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
SLAYING THE DRAGON
You (metaphorically) slay the dragon, to bring the dragon down. You don’t knock the dragon down by slaying the slave under it’s foot. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Unfortunately, most of black America was happy when a white cop shot dead a black man in the back. The dead black man is now a martyr for the black cause. A few weeks ago, a white cop shot a white man in the back while sitting on him. It didn’t make headlines, because white…Read more »
RECLAIM YOUR BRAIN
It’s like at birth you hand over your brain to whomever wants it. Then you spend the rest of your life gliding through on somebody else’s expectations for you. For God’s sake, wake up and live for you. Make your own expectations for yourself. Reclaim your brain before you die never knowing you had one.…Read more »
THE SIMPLER THE PLAN THE BETTER
If I buy an appliance with a hundred different bells and whistles, that means a hundred different things can go wrong with it. Keeping it simple avoids costly breakdowns and repairs – if indeed all of those bells and whistles are actually designed to be repaired when they do break down. Why take the risk?…Read more »
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR POOR
There’s no such thing as a level playing field for the poor, so stop pretending that all those social programs create one – they don’t. What’s needed are opportunities, but the rich folks don’t want any poor folks in their class, so they throw programs at them, telling them they’re on their own to achieve…Read more »
