THANKS NEO: You Are An Inspiration to So Many
I bless God for you being a mentor, a counselor, a big brother and so much more.
THANKS NEO: And Upbraideth Not
I don’t know if you realize how much of a endangered species a brother like you is compared to all the crap we usually have to put up with so I can’t blame a sister for trying
THANKS NEO: Reflecting Upon an Old Year with New Understanding
I don’t know how you do it and keep a positive mind or a good heart because I know I am not the only one who do what I did. I guess I can only be thankful that you keep doing what you do
THANKS NEO: In Memory of Mama & Me
Caregiving was at times challenging for me because, in never having given birth to any children, I was new at not only now parenting, but at my child actually being my mother. Wow! Thank you for in a sense having co-parented with me through countless phone calls and emails.
THANKS NEO: You Are Changing Lives That You Don’t Even Know
Do you even realize how potent your words are to a sister like me who has never imagined a brother like you existed? I have to keep telling myself this is only the internet but that excuse does not work when the words I read are so real. I don’t want you to think I am a stalker but I am so in love with the person that you are. You are my daily breath of fresh air after dealing with the majority of the male bull sh*t on this site. I would have already closed my profile by now except for the fact that I check every day at lunch to see if you posted something new.
THANKS NEO: After All This Time I Think I Finally Get It
I am a church going lady but if I had to pay you for every time you called me out and stepped on my toes I would be broke. Sometimes it is easier to go hear a sermon than to read some of your answers to people. Not because you are mean, even though you do bring it when you need to, but because you are real.
THANKS NEO: Thank You Neo for My Anniversary
What I didn’t know is he tried to continue that fight with you online over the whole week I didn’t hear from him and how much that fight with you would bring him back to me as a very changed man. You know the rest of the story. Six months later we got married and you were there. My hubby invited you and you didn’t turn him down.
THANKS NEO: Sometimes All You Can Do Is Try
I do get weary sometimes when so many cry for help but really don’t want the help that is best for them. I’m sure it won’t change what I do the next time a situation like this comes up. I never could really keep myself from diving in heart first sometimes. But every once in a while, on days like this, I miss the feel of loving arms around me with smiling eyes that say, even though I already know… that at least I tried.
THANKS NEO: Confessions of A Mother Hen
NEO, I prayed you be alright when I read you was in the hospital. When you was back home I felt relieved. Maybe it the mother hen in me but I imagine me taking your phone and pushing people away from your door so you could get the rest you need. You have a way of...THANKS NEO: You Don’t Have to Act Holy to Say What’s Right
You know sometimes when you got a deep problem it hard to want to go talk to somebody in church because all they want to do is give you a Bible verse and pray and then you feel stupid like they perfect and something must be wrong with you.
THANKS NEO: Fellowship Without Walls
when you “touch a nerve” I’m forced to stop and take a moment to at the very least acknowledge that there are some I need to face or consider…
THANKS NEO: A Heartfelt Thanks
I hope you will share this because what I would like to say in case nobody has said it to you lately is THANK YOU.
THANKS NEO: A Long Forgotten Sin
Neo, I been watching your career grow and grow. Twenty years ago both of us was much younger when I had it in my head that I knew everything about men. I remember like it was yesterday when you started your first paper and would show up at the salon in a tie with...THANKS NEO: A RECENT CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE ANGRY KIND
A RECENT CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE ANGRY KIND SHE SAID: I dont no who da f*ck u think ur u phony ass b*tch. I SAID: Really? It’s like that? So tell me what I did to you? SHE SAID: U no dont no mutha f*ckin mans look at no woman like wut u wrote less he gay as hell...THANKS NEO: A Letter I Got Today
A LETTER I GOT TODAY Mr. Blaqness, I saw on your website how other people have wrote you and I thought it was time I wrote you. I hope you share my story like you did with the other people. Four years ago when I was still in middle school I had a lot of anger and as...THANKS NEO: Response not Needed or Necessary – Just Listen
God led you to me at the appropriate time and God led you away from me at the right time so I wouldn’t become totally dependent on you which I could feel was beginning to happen. I appreciate you, and will always love your mind. You have an awesome (one of a kind) brilliant mind. Thank you for having briefly shared it with me. I am a much better and stronger person for God having worked through you to reach me because you forced me to listen.
THANKS NEO: Note from an Angel Flying Too Close to The Ground
When you fight a friend over a principle, they don’t see the point, they only see you. When they run out of words to fight over, they are left only with echoes of what was said. And eventually, because words spoken and received emotionally imprint the deepest, they have no choice but to see them for what was truly said. And that is why it is better to be silent than to speak recklessly in anger.
THANKS NEO: Speechless
Neo, people might want to say you crazy but you been this deep the whole part of life I have known you. You always were the one to go head first into learning and then the first one to notice when something not quite right when everybody else wanted you to shut up. I’m glad you never shut up. I’m alive today because you never shut up.
