Hey there, can I just be honest for a little bit? Doing everything by yourself; handling business, keeping the house running, making sure the kids are all right well, it will change you in ways you do not even notice at first.

Maybe I need to step away and give myself a break. A break from what, one may ask? A break from life. However, it’s impossible to give myself a break because I am a wife, a toddler mom, and an overthinking black woman in her late 20’s with hustle. Too much hustle that I sometimes do not give myself enough credit, grace, or time to just take in my efforts. There's so much pressure that comes with the desire of wanting to be a successful black woman.

It is possible! Gaining inner peace during such a turbulent
time is essential to our mental health. It might seem as if there are so many
people that you may follow or watch on social media who have it all together, and you're the only one struggling. I've felt the same way but chose to recharge
and re-evaluate my thoughts and daily practices. I value being able to be at
peace in my life, both mentally and physically.

It took me two trips outside to the faucet in front of my home to retrieve three gallons of water. I grew up without any running water in my home. That meant no such thing as a hot water heater. It also meant no such thing as a sink or bathtub. I only interacted with a real bathtub or kitchen while at my auntie's trailer or a friend’s house.
As a child, I always wanted to fly. The thought of being able
to grow wings or even to be caught by an angel while falling in mid-air kept my
imagination just as hungry as I use to physically be.
Giving
into your cravings, all the time is not the answer.
This entire month of May has taught me to not give up on any goals that I once placed on the back burner. I'm determined to accomplish the goals that once believed were not possible.
I have
been taking time out to build my brands and to focus on my direction in this
life. I have learned that I need to take everything that I place my time seriously. For the past couple of years, I have only taken doing my product
reviews and just videos in general as a hobby.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary,
the meaning of roll with the punches is for one to be able to deal with a
series of difficult situations. The meaning also does means via Google, (of a
boxer) move one's body away from an opponent's blows to lessen the impact.
For
me, I have found that life often has a way of hitting you where it hurts. If
life knocks you into a fetal position, what will be your comeback?

About
a week ago from today I was sitting with my laptop in my lap on my sofa with my hands on my head stressed. Yes, I was stressed and my anxiety was low-key through the damn roof. Now why my nerves were so bad?
Since
I was around 5 years old I knew what it meant to be the "less fortunate."
Before Thanksgiving and Christmas would come around and until I was about 12
years old I started bracing myself mentally to be viewed as a charity
case.

You just can't say, "No." You are in love and truly don't want to get in a petty argument for stating how you truly feel. You want to express your true feelings without any regret. If you feel like things will hit the fan if you tell him, 'no' then you are probably allowing him to have too much power over you. He secretly controls you. Hopefully, it isn't too late to regain your respect. Here are five signs of why men are walking all over you...

Hey, Dad
It's me your daughter, Linda. I found out around five years old that you are deceased. Back then, I didn't know if it was a joke or just a way for no one to tell me about you. Growing up watching my mother suffer without you physically truly harden me.
There were countless times, that I wanted YOU to be there for me when my mother couldn't be. I wondered if you would have accepted me as your own.
I heard from my mother as an adolescent that once you passed away, that your family took everything from her that she could have had for me. I was scared to ask questions about you to my mother because I didn't know how she would react.
As we all know it is very common for couples in general to have disagreements.

I can honestly tell you that finding the right words to say don't have to be daunting. Here are 5 thing that you can say to your husband whenever your marriage is going through a storm....
After only six months after high school, I was under depression. I felt like I wasn't going to amount to anything or be anyone worth looking up to. I was still blessed to say and be the first person from my immediate family to graduate from high school.
I was nineteen and with no job, no car, or a supportive family. I wanted to go to college and major in mass communications and be the next Uptown Angela on Q93. But once, I realized that my mother didn't have a job nor the education or the finances to place me into college, I had to learn to let go...
