What's up with...?

Please don’t read this like I feel shameful or anything… learning new pieces of yourself is just a piece of life. We are all ever changing, ever growing, and ever needing for new and different things as we mature and experience the world as created by God.

Truths, Friends, and Relationships

Something to always keep in mind when dealing with people is, the only person you can control is you. If you did your part to wash your hands of the shadiness and take yourself out of a bad situation, good.

Change

Sometimes, we lose things or don’t make it to certain goals we’ve set our minds on because there’s something we still need to work on and CHANGE about ourselves.

No.

No… is absolutely… a complete sentence. Don’t let anyone make you question yourself thinking your concrete decision is something they can still persuade you to change.

Controversial Woman Part 2

You are not a slut, you are not a whore, you are not a disgrace, you are worthy, God loves you, I love you, and you should too.

Controversial Woman

Death...

My father was many things… a saint was not one of them. But in times like this, all I want is to be able to talk to him, hug him. Most of the time I can barely remember what his voice sounded like… or what his face looked like.

Is Enough, Enough?

If you’re not happy, do what you need to do to change that. Take a step in the right direction to rid your life of toxicity and fill it with appreciation and positivity.

I am a Black Woman

My current emotional state is stuck in a “limbo” where I’m acknowledging my success up to this point, evaluating what/why I can’t seem to take the next step to do whatever it is I’m trying to do, and questioning where I’m going… what exactly am I trying to do?

Black Love is Timeless

It’s really amazing how energies work to connect us to new people, things, ideas, and movements. When I began to move into a space of peace and happiness while I was single and becoming more and more comfortable in my skin the way God made me, romance began to sprinkle itself into my purview.

Chapter 28

Last week I wrote a letter to my dad about all of the emotions I experience without him.

This week, I write a love letter to me…

See It, Speak It, Receive It

God instilled power in our tongues. He hears all of our cries, prayers, needs, desires, and affirmations (both positive and negative).

The Red Plague

I had no idea becoming a woman was going to be so painful for me. I was a late bloomer in many ways, but when it hit me, I definitely without doubt wanted to give it back.
