About Dove from USA: "Just sing from your heart the entire time and your notes will continue to shine regardless of the dirt that gets splattered around you." - Mariah Carey

Re: Prayers for Mariah (50,256) by RJJ12 (50,265) by Dove from USA That's a good idea. One day out of the week, for how many weeks? What day? I have a book of prayers I use to pray for my son and I roughly listed some ideas from it (in case someone wants to, but doesn't know what to pray for): protection from harm feeling/being loved and accepted health and healing (if she needs to see a doctor that God will show her which Dr and pray for Drs hands and mind to be divinely guided) avoid alcohol, drugs, and other addictions (I'm not accusing her of using anything, but included to cover all bases) finding the perfect mate living free of unforgiveness restoring and maintaining relationships with all family members (including Allison and Nick) motivation to respect and properly care for her body sound mind freedom from fear seeking wisdom and discernment growing in faith gift of joy destroying an inheritance of family bondage success in her career (Vegas shows will be wildly successful, her voice will come through, all aspects of the production will go off without a hitch, album sales will skyrocket, etc.) staying attracted to purity learning to speak life thankfulness (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 15:11)

Baby (50,255) by Dove from USA I just miss her and I want to see what she's up to. That's why I want a documentary. She doesn't need to talk about her ex. She can just talk about Vegas and address the vocal issues so that the haters can stop using it against her. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 1:37)

Conclusion to my saga (50,253) by Dove from USA I apologize for making it all about me and my relationship these past few days. This is the last one. I dont know if it's because I'm sick or medicated but I feel an urgent need to unload all of these feelings. I feel like if I put them out into the universe I can finally let them go. This feels like the right place for some reason. Even though it would still hurt no matter how much time passes, it has been my experience that time really does heal. If I would have seen those pictures today I would have dealt with it a lot better than I did back then. Back then the wound was still fresh and I was still in denial. I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks after that incident. I had to take time off from work. Now, I've already accepted that it's over. I truly do love him and I want for him to be really happy. We were with each other our entire adult lives except for a brief period in 2005. He's the only man I have loved as an adult. Several months ago I was in distress and I asked the Universe/Infinite Intelligence/God why he didn't choose me. I don't remember if it was online or on TV but Iyanla Vanzant came on and said, "He was not the one." It felt like a direct answer to my question. The best gift you can give people is to let them go if they want to leave. (Wednesday 18 February 2015; 0:53)

Re: (50,242) by Shezz (50,252) by Dove from USA Shezz, my grandma used to say that if you yearn for something it's because you're supposed to experience it. If you are yearning for romantic love you should fearlessly pursue it because it is your destiny. Let your intuition lead you. Because it is your destiny, I know that you will have more chances to experience true, unconditional, romantic love that could last for the rest of your life. Not everybody feels those yearnings because we are not all destined to be coupled. Thank you for the love. I'm sending you a big warm hug right back and lots of good vibrations.

Re: (50,234) by Ardis / X-Factor (50,237) by Dove from USA I think that's why we haven't seen them lately and we probably won't see them again until they're 18. If he really is going to make more books he should do one about prepositions. Even though it is over between them, the polite thing to do is keep new relationships on the down low for an appropriate amount of time. Ideally, the person who left should wait until the other person moves on first, or at least until they're officially divorced. I know we don't live in a perfect world, and most people don't do this, but I believe it's the sensitive thing to do. This may be TMI but I don't know any of you in my real life and you all know my life story already anyway. Last year on my birthday my ex-husband had a gift delivered to me. I went on Facebook to thank him and saw that he had posted engagement pictures that morning. Well, she posted them and tagged him but he accepted it. We had only been separated for four months at that point. I found that cruel and insensitive. We communicate through FB and he knew I would see them. I didn't need to see that so early after our separation and especially not on my birthday. Just my two cents. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 16:54)

Re: Dembabies book (50,229) by May (50,231) by Dove from USA I'm not absolutely sure but I think I remember there were going to be more books. I think it was going to be a series like The Berenstain Bears. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 14:13)

Re: (50,227) by Todd (50,230) by Dove from USA You're right, the song Butterfly is amazing. You can share your MC testimony too, if you feel up to it. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 13:58)

Grammar (50,228) by Dove from USA What I was trying to say in my other post before I started rambling is that if anyone notices that I'm making the same grammar mistakes over and over, you can go ahead and point them out to me. Just be nice about it. Full disclosure: the flu shot didn't work this year; I was and am medicated. Andrew I misinterpreted your post the first time I read it. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 13:40)

Edward (50,226) by Dove from USA Okay. I just noticed I misspelled preposition too. Oops. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 1:28)

Re: Dembabies (50,208) by Lynn (50,225) by Dove from USA It was probably one of the terms of their divorce that they can't use the kids to make money. The pictures posted on MC's IG and the Dembabies website raised money for her charity. He was planning on making money off of them with the children's books, maybe that's why MC included that as one of the terms of the divorce. I imagine he said, "If I can't make money off of them, neither can you." I really don't know, that's just me speculating. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 1:14)

Re: (50,217) by Andrew (50,223) by Dove from USA Andrew thank you for the nice message. It's been over a year since we separated and I'm actually okay now. I probably wouldn't have brought it up if I was still in the midst of it. One day I just realized that I'm free. (I was at Target and it occurred to me that I didn't have to hurry.) I've been enjoying the current season ever since. I didn't even remember what a proposition was, I had to Google it. Honestly, the only time I ever write more than a paragraph is on this site. At my job everything is abbreviated or concise. The last time I wrote an essay was a long time ago when I was still in school. I went to a state school. I actually have bought books to improve my grammar and so that I can help my son with his homework when the time comes but I haven't read them yet. Last year was a tough year. I don't mind the grammar police, I like learning from my mistakes, but please be kind. Please don't point out obvious typos. Keep in mind I type these posts up quickly and from my phone, sometimes during breaks. I'm not sure if you were talking to Taylor or to me but I'm posting this anyway as a disclaimer. (Tuesday 17 February 2015; 0:15)

Nikki (50,207) by Dove from USA I was going to mention that I've been hearing Mariah's songs on the radio lately too but I forgot until I read your post. I've heard Fantasy twice, ABMB twice, and WBT. (Monday 16 February 2015; 14:08)

Orkun / Deedre (50,195) by Dove from USA Orkun: *hugs* Deedre: Thank you for your message. (Monday 16 February 2015; 1:43)

Orkun (50,194) by Dove from USA *hugs* Thank you for your post. (Monday 16 February 2015; 1:40)

Real band (50,186) by Dove from USA It would be amazing if We Are The Champions by Queen was Mariah's 20th #1. She could use the music from the original recording and Freddie Mercury's original background vocals. If that's possible. The track could be released as Mariah Carey with Queen. I can imagine her singing it angrily at the Grammy's Fly Like A Bird style. I am listening to IWTKWLI and I want to weep at the missed opportunity. It would have been so much better if they had used a live band instead of the cheap sounding computer noises. I don't know what it's called. When you are rich and have a world class voice, why skimp? Her songs sound 100% better when accompanied by real instruments. Or at least make the computer noises sound like real instruments like in the original AIWFCIY. IWTKWLI should have been kept at it's original length too. I'm sorry if I'm being super negative with my complaints guys. I'll be back to my normal self tomorrow. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 21:24)

Testimony (50,184) by Dove from USA Maybe each of us was inspired to come to this site because we're supposed to be here. Not only for Mariah but for each other. We do have different personalities (Andrew on one end, Baby on the other, the rest of us in between) and we're bound to get on each other's nerves sometimes. But we're all part of the team/fandom and I believe we ended up here for a reason. I started coming here as an escape from the shock and intense pain I felt when the person I thought was the love of my life chose another woman over me, after more than a decade of swearing he loved me. He had a baby with her while lying to my face and I didn't even see it coming. Mariah's life, voice, and songs have always inspired me and given me hope and joy. I was so happy to come here and discover there were others who were also as enthusiastic and passionate about all things Mariah. I was depressed and had a hard time getting excited about anything. At first I was bitter about what happened, you can see in my early posts there's an anger and bitterness that bleeds through. But coming here every day and reading your funny, clever, thoughtful comments and ideas has been part of my healing. Thank you guys for existing. I appreciate you. *Hugs* to my favorite lamb: Abraham. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 19:42)

Anger (50,183) by Dove from USA After reading Edward's post (50,151) I remembered there was a time when I was also angry with MC. It was in 2009 when MOAIA came out and I first noticed the decline. I think the unflattering costumes, messy promo and performances have happened so many times since then that I've just accepted it as the new standard. I've let go of any expectations so that I won't be so disappointed when things don't go well. I do hope for the best but expect the worst and I just try to appreciate the things I do enjoy. I forgive her because I still want her in my life. She's always been in my life, in my brightest moments and my darkest. I'm hopeful for a turnaround, and have faith that she can make it happen again, but even if the current trend does continue, I'll be happy and thankful just to see her again and listen to some new songs. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 19:37)

Thank you (50,182) by Dove from USA Andrew, Orkun, Bill, and Edward. Thank you for the compliments. I am humbled by your kindness. (Sunday 15 February 2015; 19:17)

Andrew (50,141) by Dove from USA Andrew, I felt inspired to write that message to you last night but I almost didn't post it because I knew it would make me look crazy. I posted it anyway because I felt maybe it was a message you needed to hear right now. I wasn't trying to offend you. Sometimes you have good points but your delivery makes you come off as angry and bitter. As a fellow human I don't like seeing you consumed by negativity. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 21:32)

Andrew (50,118) by Dove from USA I feel heavily on my heart to ask you to please use your gifts for good, you are so smart and talented. You don't need to be afraid because you are loved. The entire universe is conspiring to help you, and what you need is already on its way. When it arrives, please accept it because you are worthy. Don't worry about the past because it's already gone. Each moment is a chance to start over. I'm sending peaceful thoughts your way and I hope that you'll accept them. Be well Andrew. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 8:36)

Andrew (50,109) by Dove from USA I read your whole post and it actually wasn't that bad and you made some good points. The first time I started to read it I only read the first few lines and I thought it was goung in a different direction. I thought you were going to ask Clarice if she could hear the squealing of the lambs again, or something of that nature. I stopped reading because I didn't want to go back to work with negative vibes but that post was actually not that mean so thanks for making an effort. (Saturday 14 February 2015; 1:33)

Andrew (50,089) by Dove from USA I only read one sentence of your post because your posts tend to hurt my spirit. But it's not delusion, it really seems like the media has nothing nice to say about her the last 6 years. I'm hopeful for a turnaround. (Friday 13 February 2015; 22:16)

Re: Media, Mariah, and the truth (50,085) by B (50,088) by Dove from USA I was thinking the same thing B, but Paul McCartney isn't a jerk. On top of that, I highly doubt he would want Rihanna to beat his record over Mariah Carey. Something is definitely amiss. She only needs two more yo tie, three to win. It's totally possible. Having the most #1's distinguishes you and makes people who have never heard of you at least want to try your music. (Friday 13 February 2015; 22:12)

Mimi L (50,052) by Dove from USA liked those dresses you posted, especially the gold one. (Thursday 12 February 2015; 9:16)

Re: (50,018) by Abraham (50,051) by Dove from USA I'm guessing the main reason they're releasing an updated version of #1's is to raise money for the next project. Since records aren't selling like they used to, maybe the artists aren't given money up front to record anymore. Since MIAMTEC didn't do well commercially, maybe they don't want to chance it. Also, a lot of people don't know what her #1's are, so this way they'll all be together. A part of me wishes it didn't include new tracks, or only two new tracks that were heavily promoted and would end up being #1's, so that the album would truly be all of her #1 hits. I know a lot of people may not buy it that way but I would. Especially if it was reasonably priced, $10-$13. (Thursday 12 February 2015; 1:36)
