Listen…. 👂🏾

 Good Morning, 

They say, “when people show you who they are, believe them”.  Do you think we give people more chances than they deserve? Or, do you believe people should be given another chance? Many times we are left disappointed🤷🏾‍♀️ But, what I’ve learned, for myself, is to have no expectations. I think when you have no expectations it leaves you less disappointed.  IMO 

What we need to recognize is everyone might not be on the same level as you or be of the same caliber.  

People are who they are! Some strive to do better, to be better and others are content with who they are. It’s their business. Their prerogative~

What I also realize is, it’s not the persons fault if we continue to indulge in their shenanigans. They are who they are and we need to decide if we can live with it (them) or not🤷🏾‍♀️

Bullshit is bullshit any way you drop it🤣

 Good Evening, 

And, what a cold one it is🥶 I was thinking about therapy. Recently, I was introduced to a journal called “Breathe”, a 52 week planner. When I think of therapy I think of a source which help one focus on their emotional status. A tool to guide one to see their situations and actions through different lenses and/or to acknowledge things about one’s self.  Whether it’s a person, place or thing it’s a resource of healthy beginnings.  An outlet allowing room to refocus, regroup and re-evaluate circumstances that has one’s mind and emotions held hostage.  Many don’t believe in or understand how therapy is really something needed in life. Especially, in todays climate. We’re dealing with the unseen which has robbed us of so much. It came like a thief in the night🤬 Although, I as well as many of you have always had a journal. At least I have, since a very young age.  It’s a different approach.  It’s not just about writing a simple note or something that happened. You must approach this journey in one’s mind to heal. I know church also offer counseling when one is faced with overwhelming obstacles.  Friends are available to vent to. But, if you’re seeking to overcome and to out grow a situation I believe therapy of some sort is an avenue you might want to explore.  In no way am I saying this is the answer because whereas it works for some it might not work for everyone.  I do believe it will help🤷🏾‍♀️ I think it’s a great start. No shame! No judgement! I think taking an hour or so to meditate or pray might be a therapy of choice. Taking time to “breathe” and exhale, to relinquish burdens, negative thoughts can do wonders for the soul.  Like Mikey, “Try it, you might like it”😊

Make A Wish….

 G’morning Family, Friends and You🥰,

Often times, we find ourselves in situations we wish we can change in a blink of an eye.  Another one of my sayings is “all we have are our hopes, dreams and prayers”.  “Faith”🙏🏾 I’m a Christian but I’m only human. Yes, I know the Lord has helped me more times than I can count. And, I thank Him for never leaving nor forsaken me.  Thank you Jesus. I dream of hitting the lottery.  I hope one day I can be free of my burdens.  I pray all the time for God to remove so much😊 But, I believe! I believe one day I’ll find my Peace. I believe one day I can breathe that sigh of relief. Freedom! We mustn’t give up.  We must weather the storm. Let’s face it, we’ve been here before and gotten through.  Let’s face it, it’s not the first time and probably not the last.  That’s life🤷🏾‍♀️ Let’s face it, it’s those things that make the world go around.  Let’s face it, you’ve gotten through before and you will again.  Just, don’t give up! Plan an escape route🤣 But, pray🙏🏾 Praying does wonders.  Keep dreaming 😴 It’s wonderful.  Keep hoping, for the best. It might not happen in the time we believe we most need it.  But, I must believe it will happen🤞🏾

Family, Friends and You ~ that tiny bit of “FAITH” we have.  You know, the one the size of a mustard seed, will provide “everything” God has planned for us. Everything our heart desire and then some. He’s a wonderful God and I know with Him, all things are possible.  Lord, can You speed it up a little?🤭 

Let’s keep those hopes, dreams and prayers alive. That’s life👊🏾

I Am Her….

 G’morning,

So, If you know me then you know I’m constantly trying to better myself.  Whether it’s my skin, health, finances, etc…… Recently, I was just wondering “why is someone always promoting something “wonderful” according to them?” Now, I realize it’s a choice and I don’t have to indulge.  But, if you don’t try it then how will you ever know if you like it🤷🏾‍♀️ Do you see all the Social Media promotions? Every time you turn around there’ a new product.  Well, I’m proud of myself because I cut myself off.  I was a perfume fanatic but have plenty.  Just like facial lines, which I’m always trying.  Again, I cut myself off.  I’m not buying anything else until I’ve used up everything in my arsenal.  At least until I’ve put a dent in it.  What are some of your favorite products you swear by?🤔 I’ll go first.  I’m a fan of Teami Blends @ https://www.teamiblends.com/  I mean from their detox tea to their night facial mask and everything in between🤭

Monkey Wrench🐒🔧

Good Morning,

Yep, we made it to the weekend. Thank God for allowing us to be here another day🙏🏾 I hate when I have a plan and things seem to be going so well and then bam👊🏾 there’s a monkey wrench thrown in the mix. I mean you can have a plan, a back-up plan and maybe a third in case things go sour. But, when the unexpected appear it takes the wind out our sails.  How do you recover? Giving up isn’t an option🤷🏾‍♀️ I say get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving🏃🏾‍♀️ Nope, it isn’t always that easy because we had so much weighing in on that plan.  That’s life🥰

I have a favorite quote.  

“It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.” Whitney M. Young, Jr.

Try as we might, there is always potential for things going south. But, dealing with the unexpected takes discipline, determination and dedication to overcome.

Good luck!

Hearts❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

G’morning, I thank God we are able to meet again🥰 My thought for this morning is, “When does it become bad to have a big ole heart?” I mean, people always say “you’re always putting others before yourself”🤷🏾‍♀️ But, that’s what love is. Right? I can’t help it that I want others to be happy, excelling, getting theirs, healthy, succeeding and reaping rewards. However, when you feel no one is respecting that love or loving you back, things change🤔 We say, “I’m going to start thinking of myself first”.  Try as one might, I’ve always found the task difficult.  I don’t allow someone’s actions to dictate my heart. Don’t get it twisted👊🏾 If I feel someone is intentionally abusing the love, not receptive, being selfish or down right nasty it doesn’t mean you won’t be cut off.  But, that doesn’t change the heart.  I either like you or I don’t! I either love you or I don’t. Sometimes, it might take more attempts than I like to step back because when I love, I love hard. And, let’s face it “we’re only human” and the heart loves who it love. So, I believe you don’t really stop loving someone but it does change the direction of that relationship, whether it’s family or friends.  What I do know about myself is “I am love”.  I will continue to love and if by chance that love fades for you then I’m sorry for your loss. 💔

Life….

 Good Morning, Glad you made it🥰 Let’s talk about “Life”. Life’s Deep! At times, life’s funny. As of late, life’s been overwhelming. And, so on….”LIFE”

It’s amazing how life events dictate our next move.  When things don’t appear to be going so well we subconsciously and at times consciously push things and people away.  But, when things are going great boy we be on a roll. NO JUDGMENT!!! Because, Life’s Deep! And, whatever it takes for you to get through is your business. Kudos to you. 👍🏾 

Personally, I’ve been trying to better the things in “my life” I can control. And, things I can’t control I’m trying let go and stop dwelling on them. That’s a task in itself.  We must pick a struggle. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Anyway, in this moment and time I’m feeling better and I’m grabbing it by the boot straps and running with it. Because, let’s face it, shit can change in a nanosecond and flip your entire world upside down. But, this morning I was thinking how one good thing happening changed my energy. It’s not that we don’t always want happiness. Hell, who wants to be depressed and down in the dumps.  No one 😬 

What I’m getting at is, when things are not going great how do we try and keep that good energy so we can keep living life. I noticed when you’re in a certain head space we allow life to pass us by. Time doesn’t stand still for no one. Life isn’t put on pause until we get it right. We can’t recapture the time we lose. 

These days seem to be going by faster and faster.  Let’s embrace the moment.  Thank God for another day.  Live your best life.

Self Care….

 Good Morning, I’m so glad you made it🥰 I’ve not written on my blog in such a long time but I’m baaaccckkk!!!! Recently, I’ve been thinking how I’ve let some of my routines go and I want to change that. So, to start off I’ve been paying more

attention to what I put into my body. However, I’m really focusing on my face. Do you have a routine? Anyway, I just ordered me a facial steamer because in todays climate I haven’t made any outside appointments for facials. Now, I’m trying to decide what oils to use in my steamer. Do you have a preference? Then, I started thinking about “Do I wash first or steam first?” “Should I steam in the morning or at night?”  These are just a few questions running in my head. I’d like your feedback. Have a blessed day🙏🏾 #Grace&Peace🕊 

Below, the steamer I’ve chosen and a few products I have in my vanity
