Judge Lynn Toler · #Waybackwednesday This is me in 1980 or so. Looks like I was up to no good doesn't it? COLLEGE! I had so much fun

So this is what I've been up to! I have a new show starting in May. Commit or Quit on @WeTV and @allblack

The other day I was at home minding my own business and I get a text from high school friends. My 45th High school reunion is at the end of this month. 45 y'all. 45!

Me back in the day. Back in the day I had both long hair and long crazy. I feel better now.

Me, embracing my bad #hair day. Best thing to do is smile at it. It doesn't fix anything but your #mood ... then again, what's better than that?#

So I spent 20 minutes on my #hair. Fifteen more than I would like and apparently about an hour less than I needed. You never know how jacked up it looks until you're in full sun and take a snap. I could have gone back and fixed it but hey, then I would be an adult. We can't have that lol!
 
I gave a list of books I liked in my book, Dear Sonali. Someone said they read them all and wanted a new commendation.

This is me in my favorite room of the house having just finished Quincy Jones, 12 Notes on Creativity. Enjoyed that! It’s on audio only I think which is not my preferred method of book consumption but I loved every minute of it.

Judge Lynn is def wife material. Lips u can’t get tired of, prolly had snap, black don’t crack, and smart af, honorable, morally sound, accomplished. I woulda proposed on the first date fuckin around wit her. That’s a wife right there, even tho she can’t cook, she made enough to get a pass
 
This is from my original show Power of Attorney 2001. I was 42 years old. I think the message here is important. Of late, it appears that loud and angry is our default. People don't get what they want, when they want it and how they want it, they just lose it.
What? Do they think they should be immune from the normal ups, downs and inconveiences of life.
How arrogant is that?

 
Me and the #hair battle ... I actually put rollers in my hair. Almost came out right but not quite. I want to cut it but I promised BigE ... so onward we go.

Have a happy Sunday y'all. I wish you all the peace you can find and all the kind you can muster.

Me, 1977: Farrah Fawsett hair was all the rage. The thing on the back of my head is a scarf ... that was a thing too. LOL Have a good day.

I was cleaning out my phone and found this nonsense from the pandemic lockdown days. I present it here for your amusement ...
 
Me in my mid teens. This was taken with one of those cameras back in the day where the picture developed in front of you.

Yes, I know. I should have combed my #hair. Probably should have put on some #makeup or something. But if I had done that then you wouldn't be getting me in my natural state.

This is my favorite sweatshirt. My friend Pam gave it to me. It's a Motown shirt. We were both established in the same year.

Y'all have a great day and a wonderful holiday.

I’m taking a victory lap today.
I worked out. Took a shower and almost did my #hair.
I spend a lot of time dispensing advice about how to feel effectively. People are sometimes in the throes of something and I will give them full throated advice about managing the moment.
What you say so emphatically when others are hurt should ring true for you too when you struggling in the dark.
Today I finally wrapped my arms around Rule #4.
Sometimes you gotta make the peace you’re looking for. I’m ready for the fight. The one he’d ask me to win.

I went to Target today and I was buying wine. Don't judge; I have downgraded from vodka. All progress should be duly noted.

Anyway I was at the self checkout and you know how you have to have an associate come over when you buy booze? So she came over, asked me my birthday and I told her.

Her response: "1959? Man, did you hold up." My hair was all over my head. My socks didn't match I had on old tennis shoes but she made me feel pretty in the moment.

I've been feeling like torn up tissue paper. I was surprised to feel so happy about such a small thing.

I'm momma's baby girl. The frightened one. The quiet one. They angry one. The socially awkward one.

But I fight. Just like she did. She fought not to stay in places she didn't want to be. She fought to make a workable situation in a house that would not have known peace otherwise.

She fought to keep me from marrying Eric because he had four kids. But as soon as we said "I do," she fought with me too make the whole thing work. Then a week before she died she said "I was wrong. You married the right guy."

Anyway that was a long round about way of saying I really felt like smiling. And I wanted you to see it.

After writing this post I'm in tears again but that's a part of the ride.

Like Henrietta said: Think roller coaster not mountain.
