I'm Back

OK, so I've been gone for a minute. Now I'm back again. RECAP: I've been in Jacksonville, FL for a conference due to my job. I must say I loved it! We saw so many artists, comedians, poets, and speakers. I love this aspect of my job because I get to see people showcase their talent and I can share that with others. It brings such peace to my heart to being joy to others. That's how I know what I'm doing is the right thing. It fits me ya know, like my favorite pair of jeans or my brand new "freakum" dress. What I do is who I am and Who I am is Free! That free spirit who may not look exactly like everyone else. I know I have a hard time accepting my naturally curly hair, I've always thought that I should straighten my hair so that it flows all down my back up until 6 years ago that's what I did. Then I decided to embrace me and just let my hair be. I still have a few insecurities about it but compliments and research has helped me love it so much more. This weekend a gentleman said, "why do you keep saying 'when its straight'?" "It doesn't matter what your hair looks like when you rocking the 'baby hair'!" SO I fell out laughing then realized he was right. My hair is a part of me and helps me express my personality and I love it. All I am simply saying is embrace the true you and know that you can do anything as long as your put forth effort and have a few chit chats with the man upstairs.~peace and blessings love~  

Mocha in my Cup

I went to this cafe downtown on Sunday. I really enjoyed myself. They have a fabulous array of beverages from soda to wine and everything in between. My drink of choice was the peppermint mocha got chocolate which is pictured! I loved! Needless to say I topped it off with the "Black and White" cake, also pictured. Delicious and good to my soul. When you want to get away or even enjoy the televised sports game of your choice, Cafe Intermezzo's is a really great spot to go! The service was awesome and the atmosphere is very chill! Two thumbs up in my book :) Peace & Blessings Loves

I have realized

Love will come when you least expect it...that's what people keep telling me and you know what I believe that. Recently I had to end a friendship of four years and I received some really great advice: "Just learn the lesson, forgive yourself, put ya big girl draws on & suck it up. It happens to all of us at some point... U can feel stupid for tonite. But tomrw, wake up, put some eye shadow on and start over. Your fam still loves u!" that's what I did. I had too. I had to press on to prove to myself that I am worth more than what this friendship had given me. For years I was doing what others wanted me to do instead of being my own woman and owning up to my triumphs as well as my failures. So today I stood tall, put on my TI Pandora station and set on a groove that gave me wings and a new spirit...I'm loving who I am and one day a man besides my father will too! So I'm not searching I'm jus accepting where I am in life and thanking God for this experience....Peace and Blessings Loves

Cool Breeze

I'm loving this weather! Finally a break from the harsh winter chill. We get to see the sun actually stay out for a change and cute spring fashions are starting to hit the streets. I've been crazy busy with things at work so I haven't had time to clear my head on here but that day is coming. A day of purging is coming to a BlogSpot near you! Peace and Blessings Loves :)

Hit that high note

Good Morning all! I have a wonderful weekend...Plenty of shopping and relaxing, which I was much needed. Now I'm in the old workjob ( yes I made up a word, lol) grooving to some R&B. Check out artist Daley! He is an R&B artist from the UK and he is the truth! Reminds me of a younger swagged out Robin Thicke... I need this is my life this morning. Music is an entity that I have always had a love for. If I could be a critic or go to listening parties as a side hustle I know I would. It speaks to my soul and I am in love with it! Growing up we always had music. My dad is a music lover and my family sings so its in my blood. Every now and then I would get out my dad's old drum and pretend that I was playing it. Although I've never had the chance to learn how to play, I've always been the baddest drum player if I do say so myself lol. See, my father used to play the drums professionally for a gospel group he was apart of in Toledo, OH in the 1970's. He had swag and passed it on to me lol! He would buy new records every week and the house was filled with the sounds of the latest tunes of that time. This is all true hearsay but it's truth in my eyes. Whenever I'm feeling some kind of way, music ha always been there for me. Music and food, (Yes food) will always be in my corner. As I get older I'm learning how to embrace the two much better. And it agrees with me! ~PEACE AND BLESSINGS LOVES~

My Halo

So the song, Halo comes on... This song just takes me there... ya know? To this heavenly sunshiny place where nothing is ever wrong and he(if he ever comes) and I can exist. We can just be and I like that. It's very peaceful and I need that. Oftentimes people just need peace, that reassurance that everything is going to be alright. That's one of the reasons why I MUST find a church here. I stay talking to God all the time. Sometimes I'll be talking out loud and someone says, "Who are you talking to?" because they obviously know its not them. My response, "Jesus.." No joke I talk to the man like all the time. He is the only reason why I have made it to where I am today. I know it was nothing but God and I am so thankful for that. I know who he is and what he is capable of.

State of Mind

We must make our contribution in this world. One of my beliefs is that we are put on this earth to make a difference, to improve the quality of life for ourselves and others around us. We must accept our mission and not go at it lightly for we have big shoes to fill and even longer roads to trod. We are our ancestors dreams and the tears they shed. We are they blood they shed and the words they could not speak. We are the present and the future they only hoped for. We must accept our mission and not go at it lightly. PEACEANDBLESSINGSLOVES
