Well I will start by answering some basic questions I get a lot from people that see my blog and ask goofy questions about it.
Mamma why do you have a blog? - This is my therapist. Period. I would rather be blogging than doing some other crazy things to people or to myself. This blog literally helped me through some of the hardest parts of my life as I transitioned from living in a very large city to living in the country in the deep south.
Mamma How come you have so many pictures of yourself on your blog? You are so arrogant! I can't believe it you must love yourself a lot - Actually yes I do but if you go back to the beginning of this blog you will find that I never posted photos of myself on the blog ever. This was a process for me to begin to love the me I am that is never going anywhere. The posting of the pictures of myself all over my blog is for me to realize that there is really nothing wrong with me and that I am ok with who I am.
Mamma why do you tell so much of your business - Because this is MY blog. My blog, my words period. I talk about what is important to me and what may be important to me is certainly of interest to someone out there.
Mamma so why do you continue to blog? - Because I still need to talk every once in a while and now people want to know whats going on in my world so I have had to continue to grow and expand and really let my hair down and grow with this. This is a great experience to do that with.
Mamma who is Y've Kemp? - I am Y've Kemp. There is a story behind it too. When I was about 19 or 20 years old actually until I was about 21 or so I sang with a group called Arrested Development as an "extended family member" if you will. I have shared the stage and traveled extensively to fuel my passion to become the person I am today. This was not an easy process since I was so shy and introverted and had very low self esteem and low self confidence. The process of singing, and preparing for my own project was a very needed process. My dearest friend Mose Hardin encouraged me and held my hand through the entire process AND invested financially in the album I finally put out. I had just lost my foster mother at the time that I recorded this project and you can certainly hear the place that I was in at that time. Thank goodness for very good friends like him. Or I would not have made it through that time.
Mamma will Y've Kemp put out another project? - Of course she will in time. It may be in the form of whatever avenue the Universe gives it to her but please continue to be on the lookout for all that is Y've Kemp. She is very much alive within me.
Mamma is there anything else that you can tell me about you that will help me enjoy your process in your blog? - Yeah there is. This is my journey through my life of me discovering things about myself, my family and my past that make up who I am. I want you to know that sometimes this is what it takes to get to the next step in your life. You have to step back, look at it, see the story and then begin telling a different story. Period. Which brings me to my next thought.
I believe and practice the Law of Attraction. I mean the real thing. not just the Secret but the work that goes into creating the life that I want. I also consider myself to be a person that is still learning every day to be a Christian. What I have learned is that LOA and Christianity share a definite relationship and one has certainly helped my daily walk in practicing to be a Christian. Since my NDE or Near Death Experience, I know we do not die, that there is something else out there that makes me know we are eternal beings AND we are all connected. If I talk about it here on my blog don't run from it. Check it out you may be enlightened and learn something.
Have I been told I am going to hell with gasoline draws on? Of course I have but I submit to you this. I had to find my own truth. I urge you to do the same.
On my blog you may find photos of my family and my children and where I live and what I do. But that is who I am. A woman who after 40 years of not knowing who she was has finally come into the understanding that the blood will find you. Mine did and I love them to life. They are a wonderful and interesting mix of people. I love the family that raised me and who I grew up with as well so I have this really HUGE family all over the country. That is wonderful! Life is wonderful and in the scheme of things it's all good isn't it?
Lastly,
This is my journey and my life to find out who I am, where my bloodline lies and what makes me who I am and why. I admit this is a process but I must find out. I have to know so I can tell my children the truth and along the way I will let you in on it too.
Keep coming back and you will find out why and along the way you just may start your own journey as well.
See ya'll at the end.
This is Mamma,
Signing out!
