I like to reflect on my life and what I have accomplished up to this point. Usually, I’d get pretty down on myself. This year, however, feels different. I recognize that God has brought me a long, long way. I don’t say this arrogantly or like I have everything figured out; and my life is just peaches and cream, because its not, but rather to simply state that I have achieved some things in my life thus far, and I humbly and gratefully acknowledge that. I am finally on the road of personal growth and success and have found my niche in life and plan to put it to great use.

*I took responsibility over my actions and learned to stop blaming my past and others for the setbacks and troubles I got myself into.

*A relationship that was full of doubt and had been to hell and back ended bad (amicably)

*I found solace in being alone (relationship wise) for the first time in years and really at this point I have no complaints. I have been a serial monogamist since I first started dating practically and it feels good to not have the pressure of being good enough for someone else or living by some one's standards and semi-control.


Man, I feel like a woman, a woman who knows what she wants, and is on the path of obtaining it. I will not settle for anything less than I deserve in life, relationships, career, friendships, etc. Our time here on earth is soooo freaking precious and although sometimes feels like an eternity, it goes by like lighting and can be over in the blink of an eye.

If I make it to be old and gray I want to be able to look back and smile, be proud of, and have the peace that I tried my best to live the unique, fascinating, happy life I was intended to live.

Loving She.

Happy Birthday Jesus
I'm so glad it's Christmas
All the tinsel and lights
And the presents are nice
But the real gift is You

Happy Birthday Jesus
I'm so glad it's Christmas
All the carols and bells
Make the holiday swell
And it's all about You
Happy Birthday Jesus
Jesus I love you

Soul Symphony #2: Lady Lighthouse

// ♥ \\
She has faced trials, disappointments and triumphs.
She has weathered many storms.
Some on behalf of family and community;
some simply because she dared to be born.

But the winds, rain, and fog
and the sweeping undercurrents of a rocky sea
have only helped to grow and ground her
into the woman she was born to be.

The Soul of a Woman is a towering lighthouse,
a bridge that has been gracefully transformed.
She guides others across the rocky seas of life,
teaching them to persevere in times of storm.

~Dr. Nesha Jenkins-Tate

We gazed in each others eyes
leaned in and tasted each others' souls
as we french kissed under the full moon

As I stare at him, I slowly realize I have not yet considered what I have. and lost.

Don't settle for someone and try to love them, there is someone out there with unconditional love waiting to fall deeply in love with you.

Still learning,

-everything doesn't happen when you want it

-laughing is so therapeutic

-to trust my instincts

-to let go sooner, somethings just aren't meant to hold on to

-that even though we are apart, I still like him

-when opportunity knocks, rush to open the door

-I am better off than a whole lot of people, so I need to stop feeling sorry for myself

-family can take any form (friends and strangers)...and that not such a bad thing

-to breathe deeply, and exhale

-to not be afraid of threats, to live for the moment, to prepare for the end

Now playing: No cigarette smoking (in my room) Stephen Marley ft. Melanie Fiona

Tell me what am I supposed to do


Why you got me sitting in here waiting on you

Baby hurry hurry come back

And give me some love this afternoon
