If someone would have asked me when I was around the age of sixteen where would I be at 24? I honestly would have said, "Hopefully, living." You see when I was sixteen years old I was suicidal. Everything in my life did not seem right. I hated the young girl I was, and I damn sure did not believe that I would be here today. I am now 24 years old, however on a Saturday afternoon after 5:30 pm back in the year 1993 that's when I came into this world kicking! My life had a purpose. God had a purpose for me to be here. 

We all can come up with reasons and some of us can come up with some pretty damn good excuses about why we are not chasing our dreams. Very often there may be people who are blinded by their income. They have no desire to branch off and fulfill a dream that may cause them their current lifestyle. These type of people are comfortable where ever they are at in life. They rather help someone else build an empire that can one day or is worth millions or billions of dollars. Therefore, this post is not for them. This post is for that individual that wants to step up and move closer towards their calling. Now allow me to jump more into this topic with you. 


These past two weeks have mentally took a toll on me. I have been feeling like I have not been good enough. (Yes, I suffer from self-esteem issues like a whole lot of other women do too.) Nor, am I ashamed to talk about my raw emotions. I honestly don't see the glory in telling your story or even giving a message if you have to sugar coat that shit, in a whole lot of tasteless bullshit. Anyways, back to what I was saying.



This past week was very eye-opening for me. I had to take the opportunity that I gave my damn self to adjust my crown. My crown may be imaginary to some folks, but oh trust me when I say that my crown is there. I believe that often as women a lot of us tend to stray away from the beauty of being unique. We see so many trends on social media, magazines, and even in our everyday lives that we sometimes just can’t help but to want IN. I have fell victim to going through an identity crisis a couple of times in my 23 years of living. 

It is amazing how simple one text message from someone you really love or who is special to you can really make your day. Today, texting has rapidly become one of the fastest ways to communicate with someone without a pen or paper. 





He dried all of my tears away. Turned my midnight's into the day. So, I’ll just say thank you Lord I won’t complain! If you don’t know these song lyrics, I’m just going to do you a favor and link the song right here so you can get your praise on. 

I brought 2017 in with a fleece throw wrapped around me standing on the balcony of my apartment watching the fireworks in the pouring rain. The first words that escaped from my mouth were, “Thank you, Lord!”
