Alterations

  Your growth may bring discomfort and be misunderstood by some.
You will hear "so and so is brand new".

  We were only created once so we can't repeat that.

  What we have is Alterations; we cut certain things out...tighten up in some areas and expose existing parts that was once hidden.

Traffic

4:55pm ... I'm stuck in dumb traffic and frustrated

  I remember having this same feeling at one point in life.

Wasn't going as fast as I wanted and was in a rush to go where I thought I needed to  be.
  God presses our brakes sometimes on purpose..for a reason. Might be inconvenient, but always on time.

Glance

They say never "look back"
I say at least glance...for a reminder, piece of humble pie...to confirm progression and for ambition to continue your journey.

Mornin!

  If someone couldn't give you a waiver for dark times....you don't owe them a receipt for happiness!

ETERNITY

This post was part of my "Name it" Giveaway.

Huge Thank you to everyone who participated!


The winner was Lasheena who's response  was " Eternity" stating: "I chose eternity because you have circles around your neck and in the background." Loved this connection!

When I first put on this outfit I thought " WOMAN, QUEEN" that is something that will never change because WE are born Woman and if Queen is the way we see ourselves, then that too is everlasting.

I Brought this H&M dress at one of the New York locations in March. I instantly thought of a head wrap. The dress is  bold: from the shape to the color, so it was only right that I accessorized it this way the first time around.  

Dress: H&M
Jewelery: Costume(old)
Vintage mink fur collar
Head wrap: vintage skirt
Heels: Zara

Maiden Name

A man has his name and his word.
Fellas make sure your name is carried on with pride.

Be sure to stick around for those seeds you planted.

I traded in my Maiden name like a counterfeit...it had no value, no HIStory.

Best transaction ever...
I mean I was just made in name...

Mother may I?

  When we are children we ask our parents for permission. I didn't ask my mother permission to become a teenage  mother. She said "you have made a decision that will change your life forever, but you can still have anything you want"

  What she really said indirectly was:
"You MAY be great"
"you MAY succeed"
"you MAY chase your dreams"
"you MAY have anything you want"

Today I will ask "Mother MAY I thank you?"
