Sometimes I will stop and write letters to all of you just to let you know what’s going on with me or even just to say thank you. Some of them are my experiences from day to day and some are about what I’m doing next or just pages from my journal. I’m sorry that I don’t write often, but because I write all of them myself, and with my schedule… well you know how it is.

So, if you want to get them emailed to you personally, just sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of this page. I appreciate you.

I personally don't think it's fair that someone as rich as her can steal another person's dream spot. There are tons of people in this world who just "want to act" or "just want to sing" and their dreams don't come true like that. This is Whitney Houston's daughter, this girl doesn't need to do another thing in her life. Her life has been fantastic enough from birth. Tyler you struggled to get into this business. You wasn't just given a part just because. It saddens me to see this. Tyler I normally agree with all your work and support your movies. This time I must say, I turn the other way. No longer will I support. View More: Maria Thompskin, July 20, 2012, 9:08 p.m.
Tyler Perry, WOW!!! I have no idea how you have remained calm through this but I have just read 3 pages of comments from so called "grown folks" and I am blown away how these people have let this one girl get their emotions all out of wack. Kim Kardashian is NOT God!! She is just a person just like the rest of us who I am QUITE SURE have done some nasty things is our past it just wasnt put out for the world to see....but GOD SAW AND HE KNOWS and could've allowed our business to be put on front street. But some of us get so "saved" that we forget I slept around too, I made stupid decisions, I drank, I smoked, whatever the case was ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY!! I see no reason to boycott or choose to not support anything else that Tyler does. It's ridiculous! What if God chose not to bless us because of our past and punish us instead? Think about carefully...alot if not most of us would be sitting in a padded room somewhere wearing a jacket that makes you hug yourself. But Im soooo glad God is not like MAN! He forgives but we who are "supposed to be like him" choose to judge and persecute. I am amazed by the ignorance displayed in majority of the comments I read. Some of you even resorted to using profanity?!? REALLY??! Come on, it is really not that deep. Some of you need to brush the dust off your bible and remind yourself of the forgiveness of our Savior. Remember the woman caught in the VERY ACT of adultery and by law should have been stoned and Jesus himself said " He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." All of them left one by one, none of them could comdemn her and Jesus said to the woman that he also would not comdemn her and to go and sin more. If you need another example the criminal being crucified with Jesus asked him to remember him when he came into His kingdom and without hesitation or an assessment of his past Jesus said that "this day shalt thou be with me in paradise." There are sooo many others I could go on and on and on. Just understand that when God forgives that's the END of it and he doesn't bring it up again, he casts as far as the east is from the west. LET IT GO PEOPLE! Kim Kardashian has done nothing to any of you saying such harsh things about her. Why don't you pray for her (remember? the same way someone prayed for you?) that God will save and deliver her so that she can be used for His glory...because He can because HE IS GOD not any of you. You have neither a Heaven or H*** to put her in, just secure your seat in the kingdom. Because despite all our mayhem and foolishness He still loved on us! Check yourselves and get the beam out of your own eye. Sorry Tyler, I just had to go in on these folks just a little bit LOL! I still love and support you because you are letting your light shine by giving those a chance who others turn away just like someone we know named JESUS!! Peace and Blessings to you!! (praying for your strength as well) Christa ;) View More: Christa, Nov. 18, 2011, 3:46 a.m.
Sorry to hear that. God is telling you som ething. Sit down!!!!! You had some competition huh? I'm going to see my other baby daddies, brian mcknight and joe. I would like to see cede, and r kelly.... And a few others! Its going down in texas! Its always something to do! Get some rest!

I have nothing is playing by whitney as I type last time it was donny hathaway. I'll dedicate this song to you also big country! :) I just had to throw some silly in my message. I have a ?. 1800 choke that hoe! Why? Why you make that song? I was watching the movie the other day and that song didn't sound anointed by god. The devil may have chosen it but god ain't nowhere in that's! A woman is being choked now and she's not laughing neither are her children. View More: Fee fee, Texas Sept. 18, 2012, 10:28 p.m.
Tyler, I commend you for your stand and your heart to bring healing to a community/my community that has been hit by divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect and the like! But I'm not sure I agree with you keeping Kim Kardashian in your movie. I don't beleive she married for love, nor do I think she cares about anyone other than herself. Is there hope for all? Yes. Should she be given a chance? Yes. But I also believe this might be a good opportunity for her to realize that you can't do people and marriage any kind of way. Maybe a slow d** from the top will bring her back to reality! Of course you will do what you want, but be ready if your fans don't like the decision you make! ~Tera View More: Tera, Los Angeles Nov. 17, 2011, 12:28 a.m.
GOD bless you!!!!.....You don't know how much I needed the email you sent today. I am a 38 yr old mother of 3 who in December 2010 was diagnosed with non hodgkins and hodgkins, and a low grade bone cancer. I have been cancer free for one year. No one in my family has a has been or is a homowner but I am and no one in my family has a degree but I am on my way. I wanted to break the cycle but got side tracked with health issues. I was actually thinking about quiting school because I was giving up on myself and going against GOD in a way. I was thinking why continue with school, I'm too old to start a new career is what people have been telling me and in the back of my mind I've been telling myself that the cancer may come back and kill me anyway. Receiving this email today is what I needed to push me forth. I should have realize that GOD pulled me through for a reason.............thank you so much View More: June Hamilton-Dawson, Charleston, SC July 30, 2012, 3:45 p.m.
So you made an erratic traffic maneuver, you were pulled over, you had tinted windows and made sudden movements in front of police officers…and then they let you go because you were famous? You really know how to relate to the common man. Good thing you put your two cents in about the terrible killing of a young man and made it about how you are allowed to drive poorly.

Just heard about your loss, although i haven't known you for long, but i know within this short time of my knowing you, i have come to like you, and i know that just like you came out of you childhood abuse and overcome it, so shall you overcome this grief that you feel with the help of God, i feel your pain and the loneliness you feel right now, wish i could help you come out of it but i am far away and all i can do is pray and wish you well.

Guard Your Heart and Mind

If you can get this, this will change your life… I was out taking my morning run. I love how still it is when I’m running. I can hear clearly and really commune with God. I wanted to share this with you. It’s a lesson I had to learn.

One of the keys to success is to be able to guard your heart. Now, usually when someone says guard your heart they are talking about keeping yourself from heartbreak. Although that is important (as long as you don’t go overboard... but that’s another conversation) that isn’t what I’m talking about. When we are born into this world we enter with such a pure heart but as we grow older situations, circumstances and people tend to make us change. Now I know it is nearly impossible to keep a childlike innocence in our hearts all of our lives, especially after people have betrayed, lied, mistreated and downright been the devil. Trust me when I tell you, I have seen it all. I have been there big time. If you’re like me you’ve been there too. But if this is your situation I want you to know two very important things about those moments of heartbreak. Number one, learn the lesson in it. See how it will work together for your good, because it will. Once you do, it’s easier to forgive and move on. Secondly, and this is just as important as the first one, you must not let that person or people change your heart. What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a giver and someone you have given to misuses your gift, don’t stop giving… just give to someone else. If you are a person that loves people and someone you love hates you, don’t stop loving… love someone else. Eventually, you will find people who appreciate your kindness and your love. Remember this, lots of people have been conditioned to not be able to accept purity of heart. They can’t take it in. Most times it’s not even their fault. It’s just what has happened to them on their journey in life. But don’t let them turn you into one of them. There will be a lot of people in your life who will not appreciate your pureness of heart. If they hurt you don’t stop being you… just be you with someone else.

Why is this so important? Because God blesses you according to what is in your heart. If you are being kind, giving, loving and sharing because it is in your heart and you are not looking for anything in return, then that is a heart that God wants to bless. If you change who you are because you’ve been hurt, then you’ve changed the thing that God wants to bless you according to, and that is your heart. The people who hurt you are not worth that. You can lose everything that you have, but don’t let anybody change your heart.

Tyler

Tyler, there you go again...letting God use you. I needed this confirmation today because I had a situation just this morning that has filled me with anxiety. I have been searching for my lesson all day. Thank you and May God continue to use and bless you.

  Tyler you have me crying cause I talked to God today on my route and that's exactly what I talked to Him about. Thank you so much for those strong words of encouragement. It means a lot right now. I will change who I give to love and do for. Just me and my kids. One one of your plays you said never give up on love and I told God I would never give up on love. It(LOVE) is the greatest gift in the Bible.

Your message of guarding your heart reminded me of a conversation I had with my sister. She asked me why do people use and abuse people with big hearts, I started sing the Monica song, "Don't take it personal." I told her one way to guard her heart, because it is so big, is to not take what people say or do personal. I told her it's easier to laugh and give the situation to God than to hold on to it and allow it to become a distraction. I also reminded her if they did it to Jesus, they are going to do it to her. People are fickle, selfish, and honestly just don't know any better. At the end of the day, we need to guard our hearts by being anchored in the Word of God. Be Blessed

Dear Tyler, I have a dear friend in prison ( he actually has a masters in Ministry due to my love of the Lord) but we just spoke about this situation. For years my mom's hated me, for years I told her I loved her ( walking w/God of course-which my mom does not). Anyways, this past June, she came to my place & left me, took every one else out to eat, just left me. Came bk after their dinner w/out me & started to insult me. As she stated all her insults towards me I was crying & shaking. I mean she put me back to a place like I was a child. She made me feel like she did yrs ago. So, my friend in prison said, well did you answer her with Gods love? I am not sure, because as she was leaving she asked me, "What do you have against me?" Against her? Nothing! She has always insulted me, treated me like dirt. I was thrown in the streets at 15 yrs old. So I went outside & said I just want to know, "why don't you love me, what did I do to deserve that, you love Sandee ( my baby sister)." Well needless to say she clammed up & as I stood out there crying hysterically. So you are right. If some1 doesn't love you, Love another. I poured all that love on to my son, his friends, my Childrens Ministry & God. Plus, my teaching of the Word to prisoners. I am talking murderers that have changed their whole life & went to school in prison to be ministers. So, God Bless You. By the way God always confirms His Word. Thank You.

Tyler, Your words hit home today. I needed those words today because I have found myself in those situations all too often. You are reaffirming that I should not stop giving, caring or loving just because those around me may not always reciprocate. Thank you for helping me understand that God truly blesses us for what is in our heart and only he knows our heart!

What a deep and beautiful message, Tyler! I feel so much joy when you talk like this, because it is increasing the intensity of light on our path as God's children. Please check out my first little book on Amazon.com: "The Voice in You & Me" - How listening to Your Heart can can You beyond all Drama - by Sabine Mutandwa Kouassi. $ 1 of every book sold I will give to the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries. (I had offered to send you a copy, but your staff might send it back to me, because you don't accept gifts etc. I still would like to autograph you a copy though.....) Have an over-blessed week-end experiencing God's gentle and healing love! Mama Sabine

Tyler.... Its like you are living with me every time i read your messages. I know God is everywhere and He is speaking through you to me. Lately your messages have been on point in my life and I'm just... grateful. Thank you for sending out these messages. Especially the "Don't give up Dreamer." OMG. That was so on point because i was about to call it quits with my film. Its so hard to make a film when you don't have a management team. I am the team. But i know what God told me to do and as soon as i kicked back into gear, more doors started to open. And then there's this message. OMG. I love you Tyler. Cause i was one of those people who is always getting dogged and lately i was about to treat everyone like crap, but deep down inside me i can't because its not my character. Thats not my heart and i believe that is why God blesses me so much. (Sigh) So with that note, thank you. Thank you for writing your fans and telling us what is on your heart, because you never know who is going through the same thing. Love you Bro.
