[@moyaj82]

It is amazing what Mary has done in spite of all the hell she has been through and she is often overlooked. I recently realized that she has more GRAMMYs than Whitney (6), Mariah (6) and Celine (5). I know GRAMMYs aren't everything but winning even one is a career milestone and she's done it 8 times. Kudos to you MJB.

‭‭And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him From generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, And exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, In remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, To Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Luke 1:46-55

[@nasblakeney9084]

It’s OK to be by yourself sometime we all need that time alone to get ourselves together and heal and move forward. It gets lonely at times but that’s OK. You feel free you feel like a burden has been lifted. Leave the toxic behind I’ve been there I had to forgive them, and forgive myself, so I can break that chain. Let it go and continue shining if you believe you’ll be all right because the Almighty GOD has us all
