LaMaR oDoM nEeDs A lIfT

NBA player Lamar Odom, enters the top ten trending list on Yahoo sadly yet again, receiving a DUI while driving and adding to his already chaotic week of media gossip. 

Those in the public eye have their lives on display -- constantly. We see the good, the bad, and the ugly and when the ugly gets to its ugliest form in life, life, can be extremely hard. The great thing about life, even when it gets hard, is knowing that it will get better again. Change is inevitable, and in knowing that alone should give us all joy, knowing that we too can start over again. 

People make mistakes. Lamar Odom you are not perfect, but guess what? Nobody is. Don't give up because life gets to ugly, and makes you feel like burying yourself in a dark hole. There are people in your life that love you, go to them, seek them out, and let them love you. Everybody gets weak every now and again, but at least when we get back up, we can help those that have fallen where we once fell. And we can help them up. 

I can only hope that "friends" of Lamar, especially those that he has helped up when they were down, gather to support him in his obvious time of need. Please let him talk and vent his burdens, so that he may find again peace within in his heart. He must make peace with himself, before he can make peace with others.

We need you on the court Odom. Let's go, two-time NBA champion and Sixth Man of the Year Award winner! Let's go husband! Let's go friend! Let's go role model! Let's go Father! Let's go teacher, as you will most surely teach others from your experiences.

I prescribe space, time, and love. And Iyanla Vanzant!

KaRmA oF tHe KaRdAsHiAn OdOm MaRrIaGe?

Over the past two weeks Khloe Kardashian and her baller husband Lamar Odom, have become a media spectacle as everyone fishes to unveil the secrecy surrounding their marriage. 

When first reading the tabloids about this power couple immediately I chalked it up to rumors, as is always the case when a person is high profile. But weeks have crept on with new information surfacing everyday and now with the latest pics of Khloe's best friend Malika Haqq dropping off luggage to Lamar at a gas station; something definitely is strange in the water.

From the beginning Lamar's insincerity seemed apparent towards Khloe, because he was so readable just by his actions and body language. 

Lamar had A LOT going on before he met Khloe, and it wasn't fully discovered until his ex-girlfriend Liza Morales and baby mama of his three kids, voiced her side of a disturbing story on her now cancelled TLC reality show, Starter Wives Confidential.

After listening to her story and reading her open letter to Lamar and the public, my heart went out to her and their children. Ms. Morales spoke on how she hadn't a clue that her and Lamar were broken up, until she heard he was engaged to Khloe Kardashian. 

Allegedly, Lamar left his high school sweetheart immediately after the crib death of his son Jayden, who was in Lamar's care while Ms. Morales was away from the home. Then Lamar left her shortly after, without trying to work things out and without allowing time to heal their wounds.

My immediate thoughts were that Lamar was running away from his problems but in hindsight, marrying Khloe and a camera exposed and amplified his problems while bringing his truths back to haunt him. And instead of trying to fix what was broken with his ex-girl, he ran into the arms of another woman completely gullible to his background. 

Then he marries Khloe within 30 days of meeting each other, maybe feeling as if he were starting over again? 

But you can't start over EVER until closure has taken place. Because Lamar left his ex-girlfriend so abruptly and married Khloe so quickly, it made you wonder if he had really fallen out of love with Ms. Morales? How can you marry somebody you don't know, over the woman you built a life with since high school?
Moreover, it also appeared as if Lamar was battling bi-sexuality?

After watching episodes of Khloe and Lamar, and seeing how Lamar interacted with Khloe's brother Rob Kardashian as
well as other men previously on the show, it made one question whether he was being 100 percent honest with Khloe about his sexuality. 
And with the recent exposure of anal douches being purchased by Khloe on the KUWTK show, wouldn't you say it's easy to connect the dots? 

Furthermore, I'm fully aware that heterosexual couples may partake in anal sex however, never had I witnessed male affection the way Lamar and Rob, and Rob and Scott Disick had displayed it on television; well, except between two gay men that is. 

Then allegedly it was reported that Lamar had cheated on Khloe multiple times, as if he were purposely trying to end their almost 4 year marriage -- thus running away from his problems again?

Look, I'm not judging, well -- maybe I am? But all I'm saying is that it was pretty obvious this marriage wasn't going to pan out well, due to previous situations that were still left untouched. And the fact that Lamar wanted Khloe to have his baby so badly -- it definitely triggered a red alert

I'm sure Khloe is SUPER happy that she didn't get pregnant, as I always felt Lamar wouldn't be blessed with another angel until he had cleaned up the mess he made. And I also felt that if Khloe were to be with someone else, having a baby wouldn't be as difficult. 

If the couple works it out great, but if they separate I hope both fare well separately. Is this "unbreakable" couple broken?
