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

Wow...I truly needed these words of encouragement. I definitely was at a point where I just didn't want to assist anyone because I've gotten burned too many times. Thanking God that I took the time out to read this. Thank you!

Wow! I saw this email while I was working on a program for my church, so I thought I will read it later when I’m relaxed. Saturday night I read it and was amazed. Amazed by the fact that no matter how different we are, we all seem to go through the same things. GUARD YOUR HEART! Well, That’s a big one but your two points are very insightful and useful. Currently, I am dealing with several situations that seem to have come to flatten me for life. I’ve been trying to let things roll of my back but I’ve been internalizing everything instead. As a matter of fact, I am flirting with the idea of breaking all ties and association even with people who suppose to be God’s people. I know, IT IS SAD! You are right- Don’t allow others behaviour and attitude to change you. In the end, you will not like the person you have become. And guess what? Those people will still be living it up and smiling. THANKS TYLER and have a great time on the road

I dont always feel the need to comment on things because everything you say seems to come from God directly to me! I read, listen, read again then pray. Thats how I respond, this one got to me though Mr. Perry! You're and amazing soul and God's truly blessed you beyond belief! When Im feeling down and fate is being tested I look to your words of inspiration and know its nothing but God shining thru you! The thing is I am not super religious either! I believe in God and I believe that Jesus Christ has died for our sins. Im not perfect but I know there is a plan for me and one day all will come to light! Thanks for the inspiration, I wish you posted everyday you're like the father I never got to experience! Thanks so much! -Kay

Thanks Tyler for such a well-timed message. I was reading your message while listening to Yolanda Adams' "Still I Rise" and it complemented your message so well. Your message was beautiful and very opportune because as I look into my own life and the things that I've endured, I came to the same realization. I am a giver and a loving person and in the past people have taken advantage of that and thrown my love back on my face and for a while it changed me. I was scared to love and be so giving so I shut down and pushed people away. Now, I'm slowly returning to the person I was and was always meant to be. Thank-you Tyler for your beautiful thoughts and insights. God Bless You and keep your messages coming!

Mr. Perry, I completely agree with you because I always guard my heart in this way. Something that I learned in my 20’s, is that everyone is not out to get you, but everyone is not for you also. While visiting a former professor, she gave me a copy of a paper titled “Perspective in Life…Wise Advice from Mother Teresa” on it. The entire statement is so true, from the beginning to the end. This is what she said: “People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-Centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.” ~Mother Teresa~ Mr. Perry, from my heart to yours, God bless you always.

LET the words of my mouth & the meditation of my heart BE ACCEPTABLE in Your sight, O LORD, my strength(rock) & my Redeemer. Search me, O God, & KNOW my heart: try me, & KNOW my thoughts. And see IF there be any wicked way in me, & LEAD me in the way everlasting. Examine me, O Lord, & prove me; try my reigns & my heart. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou has tried us, as silver is tried... I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That U would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. :-) Wait(in faith) on the Lord; Be of good courage, AND HE SHALL strengthen your heart; WAIT, I say, ON THE LORD! :-) HALLELUJAH!!!!!

When I read this message I was at work, so when I started it brought tears to my eyes. It was something I needed to hear and I think it was God telling me it was going to be OK. Im sooo glad to hae a personal relationship with God, because if not I would be a bitter and mean women and would not be able to forgive as easily. I am so in love with God just because of who he is. Half the things he do for us in our lives he does not have to do, but he does it because he love us. That is so good to know!!!! Thank you Mr. Perry for all your uplifting messages. May God Bless you.

When I read this message it touched my heart so because of the trials of attacks I go through as a christian. Most of the attacks are from certain family members and no matter what I do to be supportive, help, or not judge anyone they turn their anger, jealousy, and etc. on me or make negative remarks about me or my kids, which hurts more because they are suppose to be my family and that touches my heart. But no matter what I will still stand strong!

I Thank God for everything I go through because It makes me a stronger person everytime I go through a situation. May God Bless you Tyler. Take Care, Sincerly, Felicia Boone.
