Finding yourself again


Have you ever got so wrapped up in life that you no longer know what it is you loved doing with your life before becoming career oriented, before having kids, and before getting married?  Do you remember the last time you did something for yourself that was literally for yourself?  I don’t. As a matter of fact, I have never really done something for just me. I spent my whole life serving others but in things that doing like dancing, singing, braiding hair, and planning events for my friends! All things I loved doing but yet now I am struggling with trying to do something for myself and I honestly don’t know where to start.  Somebody asked me the question, “what do you like to do?” and I told them all the things that I liked to do but then she re asked me and said, “what do you like to do for yourself?” and I just stood there like, “myself?” I have gone all these years serving others and never really served myself. So now I have decided that I’m going to look for some things to try out! If I like it and our budget is fit for it, then I will continue it but if I don’t like it, I will continue to look for something until I find something that I like. So, I have chosen three things that I will try out. My first will be tap dancing! The Syncopated Ladies inspired me!!! I figured I love to dance and the way they were moving is how I see myself in my head sometimes!! So, I figured why not try!!! Second is Bikram Yoga (hot yoga)!!! I love how relaxing yoga is but thought it would be interesting to try out a hot yoga class after checking out the classroom in Life Time fitness!!! Thirdly, I am going to try adding more moves to my roller-skating skills!!!! I love watching people do fancy foot work and I’m always like I wish I could do that!!! So enough wishing for me and more trying!!!!!! Of course, all of this could add up, so I will be doing them one at a time!!!! I will make sure to update yawl on what I’m doing!!!! So, I dare you to step out of your I wish box and go TRY!! Trying can’t hurt you but seating wishing you would of is not something you want to live with!!!! I want to leave this earth knowing I tried everything that my heart was set on!!!! Our lives as woman may be complicated and busy but that doesn’t mean lose sight on the things that also make you happy!!!!Share in the comments section if you’re going to try something new for the month of April!!!! Enjoy the videos below!!! Once again, it’s a joy sharing my life with you all!! Share, comment, and subscribe!!!!

Following the Dreams Within You

Image
So many of us have dreams. We have all these goals we feel like we need to reach or accomplish in order to live the life that we think is best for us!  So, what happens when that dream doesn't actually happen? Why do we become content with the situations that were in and then use that as an excuse for why we never accomplished our dreams? What happens when you do accomplish that dream and then realize it wasn't for you? What would have happened if we followed the dreams that God placed within us? Wouldn't that be a win win. Wouldn’t it be ideal that He did all of the work for us because I mean after all He is God? That would be pretty cool I suppose, but not nearly as fulfilling as playing a part in that dream that He had put within us. I am in no way, shape or form a pastor and nor am I trying to preach to you, but I'm only sharing what I have experienced from not listening to God and just doing everything my way. So, some of you know I braid hair and style nat

Hey guys!! Sorry for such a prolong wait on a new post! I have been very tired lately due to work!!! Any who this post is an update on my alopecia areata! So, I decided to cut the back of my hair on Feb. 14, 2017, in hopes that my hair would grow back the way I wanted to and guess what………… it did as you can see in the pictures below!!!!So, for all you woman that have alopecia areata  there is hope but remember your hair will still go through different period of balding. You just have to make sure your taking care of yourself through healthy eating, exercise and plenty of water. You want to keep your stress levels down as much as possible as well. When you’re not taking care of yourself your hair will more than likely come out more than usual. Also find out what your porosity level is with your hair, it plays a huge part in why you may be struggling with hair growth in general. When I went natural in 2003, it was not a trend, so for the most part I was just basic things like wa

Tamir Rice age 12, Micheal Brown age 18, Treyvon Martin age 17 and now Jordan Davis age 15. All young black boys killed by the very authority that is suppose to be protecting our children. As a mother, as a youth worker, as an auntie and a HUMAN  BEING I have so much anger, sadness, confusion inside of my heart.  This blog post isn't about bashing  anyone what so ever, but if you are offended by anything I say in than you aren't really ready to listen and nor are you ready to help and that's okay. I just hope it helps you see a different view point is all. One day I was making errand to Popeye's with my son and daughter in the back seat. When I was turning I did not use my left blinker and I also did not notice a cop behind. Now honestly I thought the cop was just going to ignore because the city I'm from, the cops won't even waste their time trying to pull me over, but it happened out in the little suburb I live in! Now the first thing I did when I was pull
