True beauty is awesome - just take a breath and look around. Enjoy peace and understand pain - compromise positive change - dis fragment the excess baggage and remember who and what you are - take heed to announcements - Through it all put God First... xo

Running...

Running~running~running... Feels like I'm running in place. Busy in motion with my mind working overtime. 
My mind  is brewing up a potion with all these emotions trying to avoid the rat race...
Running~running~running, as my heart begins to pace.
I remind myself of all the blessings and I remember the goals.
Running~running~running- pacing my self to not win but to endure the race.

Impact...

So many women compete with each-other, but yet fail to realize the power and impact of joining forces. Through history women have had it hard. We have made great progress and while things have changed for the better we still have more to do. We all are human-beings and none of us live without situations (issues or problems). However we paint perfect pictures just to hide our pain. Who are we kidding!? Anyone who has experienced life knows that we all have our ups and downs. It's time to stop faking the funk (stop pretending) and be you! There is beauty in difference and complicated drama to be found in comparisons. Women stick together and make a bigger impact by coming together and empowering each-other... Know your value and worth; you are a child of "the king."

I Almost Lost My Power...

Strong as palm-tree- docile as a rose

Outspoken and humbled is the way to go

Some call it bitter-some call it sweet

Just to make you happy 

Just to keep you satisfied 

I believed in you

More or less I believed in your lies

My conscious told me to leave 

While my soul yearned to stay

Opened my legs to please you 

Forgot all about pleasing me

I almost gave up on all hopes and dreams

In love with you 

Not realizing that I was loosing me

Waiting...

Have you ever desired something so bad? I am sure the answer to that is yes... We all want something and all need, but are our wants triggered by the things that we see in society or by us as individuals. Money, nice cars, and expensive clothes. We see individuals with them but do we know what he/she has done to acquire the things that he/she has. Some get it honest and others do the opposite. I personally respect the ones who get it honest and make the best and most of what they have. Although I don't knock anyone's hustle I do believe that society is hoodwinked into believing that objects and items complete a person or character. Image should  not determined by the price of an item, but instead by it's quality. Most of the time we can take matters into our own hands and other times we need to wait! We are not meant to have it all! What is for us will be for us and the rest is up to God! Never allow negativity to second guess your righteous being/ character.   Life is scale with  the need to be balanced.

Social Injustice

Social injustice for me-
Socialization for you-
What you see as gray
I see it as blue
Social speculations , with no moral or ethical evaluations-
However in one way or another we all want the same.
Respect- Justice and peace
Until we open our eyes
Policies are weak.
Smitten with injustice far beyond the walls of a court room-
Omni-present it's invevitable to shake.
What you percieve as happiness may be irate
What you percieve as suitable- has expiered and ran far beyond date-
Whatyou perceive as ignorance is a mirror image of our selves.
If we don't stand firm to do what's right-
We mind as well say goodnight.
Goodnight to justice and hello to doom-
Another man's injustice may trickle down and become your gloom.
Homeless and on the streets as we pass them by in our minks-
Never stopping to say or even pondering to care-
Make it through life alone only if you dare.
We have a role and can play our parts-
Why not root for justice in our hearts
Interdependent loving lives need you and I...

I Want to Be Succesful...

Wouldn't we all love to be successful? It racks our minds and it fills our brains. Some people go through desperate measures to just to earn a extra buck. Studies show that there is a small percentage of people who actually can be classified as wealthy individuals yet, the studies also show that the sales in fashion and luxuries are increasing.
For example  Roc-A-Wear Clothing's estimated grossed annual sales are over $700 million per year. We have all heard about the recession and the need to be frugal with money but what does that really mean? Do we dare sacrifice our wants for our needs?! The choice is up to you! It's all about balance and good management... You can't get to a million without staring at a penny. You can either pay or be paid for, however beware "true happiness isn't determined by having all that you want- it is determined by wanting all that you have."
