I'm Bigger than I Thought I Was

No, that is not meant to be the ultimate in braggadocio.

I came across the following quotes from Juanita Bynum, no less ,who appeared at the Essence Music Festival. Bynum was allegedly accosted by her estranged husband Bishop Thomas Weeks III in an Atlanta area hotel parking lot last summer and the fall-out has become public. She has become in the minds of some, the new face of domestic abuse.


'Baby, let me tell you something: You're only attacked from the range of who you are, and if that declares who I am, then guess what? I'm bigger than I thought I was. If you're going through a hard time right now, it's because somebody is afraid of your destiny," she continued yelling at a decibel that shook the rafters of the super-sized convention center. "Somebody is recognizing on your job, in your family that you are bigger than you thought you were."


These comments really hit a cord in light of the "non-compete" situation that I found myself in. The non-compete agreement was a total joke and had I signed it, I would have essentially put myself out of business and become not even a particularly well-compensated employee of the company who wanted me to sign it. I wanted to say to the owner, "You CRAZY," but bit my tongue.

At any rate this person obviously felt pretty threatened by me, although I only had the HIGHEST intention for the owner and the company.

Guess I am bigger than I thought I was!

To God Be ALL the Glory, too!
