Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: October 2014
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 16. Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Part 1: Belgium). My journey began on October 23rd. I departed DC via a $3.25 bus. Ticket to New York. I arrived in NYC around lunchtime and surprised my friend at work. I was not aware the affect my presence would have on her but that is her story to tell. We chatted for awhile about my trip and she wished me well. I took the train. To JFK Airport where I embarked upon an 8 hour plane ride to Brussels, Belgium. I was between France and Netherlands!

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: April 2014
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21. Yesterday, I Cried. Based upon my last post. This does not seem like a big deal, right? The difference is that yesterday I cried tears of joy! Not that I did not feel their pain because I had definitely been there) But that's the whole point of this. I'm not there anymore! I felt not even the slightest TUG to go to the altar. All I felt was pure praise! I prayed for these things SPECIFICALLY and on Resurrection Sunday it hit me. My prayers were being answered. Yesterday, I cried. If you...

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: Speak Life
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014/06/speak-life.html
Monday, June 30. What do you say to yourself in the mirror in the morning? You look like crap! You need to pull it together." What do you say to yourself as you are getting dressed? What do you say to your friends when they ask you how are you? What are you speaking over yourself? Whether in jest or in truth. What do you say? But she still found it in her to speak life and not help or allow me to dwell on the downside. Which brings me to what are your friends saying to you? Pink Candy and Stilettos.

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: July 2014
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25. No four words can wreck a friendsjhip QUITE like "why don't you just.". It is the gateway to judgey, unsolicited advice and the quickest way to let someone know you don't understand their situation. While you may think you are dispensing sage wisdom, the receiver ain't receiving. I knoww that when people start a statement like that, I instantly think: "Why don't YOU just shut your face! Wednesday, July 16. Them: What are you doing later? Me: I made plans already. When you make your int...

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: February 2015
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 9. Let me just say a few things about the Grammys. Keep in mind I didn't watch because. WHY! All the GOOD awards were given out before the telecast. Shout out to Chick Corea, Dianne Reeves, Robert Glasper and Lalah Hathaway for their awards. Beck is an artist in every sense of the word. Singer, writer, instrumentalist. ALL of that! Kanye is out here on his STANLEY for Bey and she couldn't even come to his monsterpiece of a wedding. Ain't No. Soul. I'm not here for none of these folkses&#...

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: Placeholders
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014/06/placeholders.html
Tuesday, June 17. Over the past few months, I've been dealing with some men ("some" meaning more than one but less than 10). "Dealing with", not really dating. just kinda dealing. Men that I knew were too young, too immature, too insecure, too used to drama, too busy, "not good enough" (THEIR words, not mine). After reading The Sacred Search. A person authorized to act for another. These placeholders were granted authority out of loneliness, from a place of almost giving up, with the thought that SOMETHI...

Bri Cooley's Strange Truth: Say WHAT!?!?!?
http://bricooley.blogspot.com/2014/07/say-what.html
Wednesday, July 16. This blog is a BIT all over the place. but just rock with me, I promise it'll be worth it! Them: What are you doing later? Them HOURS later: So where do you want to go for dinner? Me: I made plans already. I'm not perfect, by any means. There is a song performed by Nina Simone that says:. Oh baby, I'm just human. Don't you know I have faults like anyone? Sometimes I find myself alone regretting. Some little foolish thing, some simple thing that I've done. Pink Candy and Stilettos.
