A WEEKS ON-ONGOING CONVERSATION

A week on-going conversation


We are going to be so mad at ourselves when we get to heaven!

When we figure out how much power we had on earth and did not use it. Because we did not realize our own strength, and our own potential. We did not realize who we really were and what we could have accomplished.


After we arrive our eyes will be fully opened. The fear and doubt will be pealed off of us. Our indecisiveness and lack of faith will no longer cloud our minds.


I am greater than I know and bigger than I seem because greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world.


Lord Let me not have any regrets of what I should have attempted or done on this short time on Earth. I want my talents to be used up and my gifts to be emptied.


Even as I sink into the keys trapped between these lines... I realize that I am more than a conqueror, predestined for greatness because You are mindful of me

my favorite MC

I CANT BELIEVE YOU DON’T THINK ITS BEAUTIFUL

Welcome to THE struggle, where a poet got a rhyme hustle,

Goin through It blind, cause it know it more mind than muscle.

When “THE DVIVINE” humble?, my pride crumbles, my eyes bubble with tears makin it clear where eyes stumble

Its like im double when im in trouble, I got 2 sides. My life’s a puddle to a sudden glimpse of Blue skies,

Carry the rain away , it varies from day to day, no matter what we say, we change…. But remember who Remains the same.

We send up prayers in HIS name, …with our hopes it might help you quote givin up praise to GOD if you felt what I wrote, your head noddin till I melt in denotes, heart throbbin puts a swell on my throat. Smoothing sailing till we fell of the boat,

now we swimming in SIN, treadin WATER waiting for our ship to come in.

DEEP BREATH, BEFORE THE WATER ENTER OUR CHEST, WAIT!! THE AUTHOR OF LIFE offfers YOU HIS LIFE VEST

WHAT IF WE HAD A SAY SO?

What if we had a say so?

What if we were there at the beginning when he created us?

What if he let us choose certain characteristics, about our life before it all began?

What if some of the struggles that we face was our verdict and by our design? Because we knew that they would help us achieve greatness in the end.

What if Our Maker was more loving than we realized and gave us a choice.?

What if the flaws in our existence were not flaws at all? But were there to make us more alluring or interesting.

What if going to another level was of our pick, and the timing was our own? Isn’t that what our three-score and ten is about ? choices? The right to free will . The option to choose our career and spouse. Or to choose right or wrong..

God created the concept of Life. And our families seem to shape our upbringing and our thinking, But in the end the decision is our own.

What if we had a say so in beginning before time began. What if we still have the say so now, and can turn our weakness into strength. Or our enemies into friends and our grudges into acts of kindness. What if there was no such thing as perfect timing. And the opportunity was of the present-now and not the later.

WHAT IF.

everyday peeps

Every day people

I seen a picture of them sitting in their living room on the internet, Everyday people. Hardworking Christian family with two small kids. Still living in the Southside of Chicago? Are you serious? Americans that reside in the midwest, but soon to be on the east coast. Both parents went to College, studied hard and CAME UP. Its definitely motivating, there are no more excuses for me or anyone . Any goal that human being is trying to obtain has become obtainable. Whether it has been health issues, job and career goals, a mental state, or even physical limitations. It can be accomplished!

Now I actually feel like, …in my mind,…. that I could be president, I believe that I can do anything through Christ, who gives me strength, and with the direction of the Holy Spirit. ….You see most families are blessed, the rest of the families just don’t know they are. Not knowing and not believing are a killer combo. Its like being rich and famous but on the entire opposite end. The negative end! Okay better analogy. Its like having no money and no drive to go get it. Believing in yourself and knowing who you really are, is like having Shaq and Kobe pre-breakup. To have speed and strength, or sword and a shield.

Barack and his family entering the white House is Good thing, And Good things only come from our Creator. This election picked some folks up, This gave some a new ,a rebirth, whatever you wanna call it. It uplifted old, young, downspirited, and every person who said I can’t. I wont even say I cant believe it because that would be in justice. Because Nov 4 happened. And it happened big. Jesses Jackson, crying , Oprah snotting all over that man she didn’t even know, Kenyans in Africa dancing in the street. Nov 4 a National Holiday? No World holiday! But No I guess one step at a time Right? Is the U.S. ready for a black president? If you aint ready, you better get ready! And like Chris Rock said ,” You know how I know we are ready for a black President? Because we just had a retarded one and were still here. Aaron Watkins

persuasion paragraph


If I could change one thing at work, it would be that we could focus more on the quality and the love of Hairdressing and less on quantity of clients and money. Of course this would be in a Utopian environment but it would still be great as an artist to experience change. I have been a hairdresser for 10 years and I have been around the industry since I was old enough to remember. Most of the time, but not all, an employee’s performance is rated on how much money they are bringing in. For me there is another alternative to make the 40-50 hour work week more enjoyable. For instance, I always create my best work when I am doing it for free. Whether I am doing it for inner-city kids who really need haircuts, Battered women's homes, or local fashions shows to create excitement, I am doing it because I love cutting hair and not because I am trying to get to get paid. I ask hairdressers all the time why did they decide to do hair. Most of them say they are artistically inclined and they can express themselves, or because they love hair, fashion, music and these industry are all cousins of each other. The funny thing is that you can make loads of money in this industry, but it shouldn’t be the focal point. I believe the money will come if you keep the real reason of why you became a hairdresser in front of you.

So Blue

I usually see blue before I see black. Maybe because there are clear skies in Phoenix 300 hundred days a year. Maybe because there aren’t many clouds here. Or JUST maybe its blue because it was his favorite and when I look up to the sky, I see endless possibilities for my future and I remember to never think small.

The Creators favor color might have been green. But that has too much relation with the greed of money that plagues our nation, or the twelve hour workdays we put in just to get a flat screen in every room. Lets be clear. Me and We are all guilty of wanting more ISH. But I don’t feel like my mind was made strong just to accumulate more STUFF

Blue sometimes represents Royalty, which He definitely is, In by which makes us sons and daughters to the Most High. I imagine when he looks down from his throne, through space, at the earth, that first color he notices has to be blue right? If God gave us a sense of Humor, what makes you think he doesn’t just bust out laughing sometimes at certain things we do. If he can give us Taste Buds for a favorite Food, then I think He can have a favorite color, which might be blue.

Maybe Red? Because it’s a primary color, Or because it runs through our veins and it is the life source of Man, but I can’t help but think about the blood Jesus shed for Man willingly. Or all the atonements that came from animals before Christ came.

Blue for me means seeing the world and every country in it. It means I have No Fear of a Divine Romance. It means in no way shall any harm come near me. It means I have to get up every time I fall . And only God knows the number of times I fell in my youth and now I am afraid of no – thing.

5storieshigh.com was constructed for artists who interpret Fashion. It consist of Hairdressers, Models, Photographers, Make-up Artists (MUA) and Stylists. Artist will be able to express their passion and culture of their industry through still photos and videos. Artist can grow and share their portfolios, as well as post past, present and, upcoming projects.


5-The Five represents the Artistic Team of individuals who we work with daily. They are the ones we collaborate and mesh ideas with to create that one strong look and perfect image. In my industry, hairdressing, you find tons of young talent and motivation. Unfortunately hairdressers do not have photos of their work. So I wanted to address that issue and push hairdressers to setup their own photo-shoots, as well as to work with the 5 as a team to achieve their own looks and develop their own style.


There is nothing better than looking at a 7 page fashion spread and seeing the ideas and progression from the first photo to the last. The main elements missing are the concepts and the written story behind the shoot or particular project. They never post the thoughts of the Artist. The only thing you see are the credits in the bottom corner. We are pushing the Artists on this site to write and video their stories of their projects and talk about how they are contributing to their industry, and how there industry is influencing fashion. These 5 unique stories are crucial to creating a successful photo-shoot to grow your portfolio.
