How long does it take you to decide if you like a photo of yourself? I bet you didn’t know that today is recognized as #SocialMediaDay. I didn’t either. Until yesterday. And it’s very interesting to know that we have a day every year set aside to recognize a day like social media day. I mean, social media has already […]
“Counting Sheep”
Do you snore or talk in your sleep? Sometimes I feel like I have sleep apnea. I know a couple of people who have it and it can have different severity levels. If you don’t know what sleep apnea is, it’s a sleep disorder where you randomly stop and start breathing throughout the night and you don’t notice when you […]
“Look At Me Now!”
Have you ever thought about what your hair says about you? One of the things I love about being a Black woman is the versatility of our hair. Our hair comes in so many different natural colors, textures, and lengths. I was born with dark brown, coarse, and very THICK hair. When I was a little girl, I HATED getting […]
“Learn How to Just Be – Part 2”
How’s your mental health this week? My birthday is May 22nd. It is just 10 days away! But I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first? Okay, I’ll start with the bad news … THERE WON’T BE ANY PERSONAL BLOG POSTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH OF MAY. Uncertain if that’s considered “bad […]
“Don’t Let ‘Em See You Cry – Living Single Part 5”
What are you doing for Cinco de Mayo?! Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be meeting up with some friends on a patio in the sun sipping margaritas this year for Cinco de Mayo. Last year, I tried to meet up with a girlfriend for margaritas and every Mexican restaurant was PACKED. Lines out the door! I def don’t got time […]
“Ask And You Shall Receive!”
Who is in your trusted support system? It should be a well-known fact by now that in addition to my weekly blog posts, I also share a short, one-minute, motivational message every Monday of each week. This past week I shared a message/tip/piece of advice that was very fitting for me in my current season. I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T what does that spell? […]
“I Have A Testimony!”
When did your “mess” turn into your “message”? Regardless of your religious affiliations, I am sure you have heard somewhere, sometime in your life someone say “your test will soon be your testimony!” Or “your mess will turn into a message!” Those sayings are to encourage us to not give up, understand that we experience the valley before reaching the […]
“Can I Ask You A Question? – Living Single Part 4”
Will you answer the question I pose at the end of this post? I’m healthy. I have a loving family. I am working my dream job. I have strong friendships. I don’t own my car. I don’t own my house. I don’t have a man. And I sometimes beat myself up for what I eat or for not going to […]
“Give Your Dream A Chance”
How do you start off your days? A lot of motivational messages use metaphors related to playing a sport or fighting a war. You will often hear motivational speakers ask rhetorical questions that will force you to compare yourself to an NBA All-Star player or a military man on the battlefield. Those motivational messages often include statements such as “the […]
“A Groundhog’s Best Friend is…”
Did you ever have to end a friendship with someone you thought was a friend? There are many different stages of life. Highs and lows. Setbacks and successes. Learning and unlearning. Making friends and losing some. I like to also think that there are many different stages of friendships. Think about it — how old were you when you made […]
