To The Guy Who Makes Me Smile

July 16, 2017 /

To the guy who makes me smile, Anytime that I think about you, I smile. Someone could just mention your name and I smile. It is funny how much of an effect that you have on me. There are times when I am just down but you know how to lift my spirit’s up. You know how to say the perfect something when I am upset and how to comfort me when I’m sad. Whenever I need something, you always know how to provide it. I love it when you just decide to give me gifts, they make me smile even harder. Our late night and early morning conversations always…

This Little Curl of Mine!

This little curl of mine, I’m going to moisturize you. I will use coconut oil, olive oil, Shea butter and a host of products to make sure that you are moisturize and happy. This little curl of mine, I’m going to twist you up at night. I will take my time and twist every little part of you so that you can grow and stay moisturize. This little curl of mine, I’m going to trim you whenever I see that you have split ends.

When God Breaks You

July 2, 2017 /

“God cannot grow you if you are not willing to be broken.” I mentioned in one of my post that God broke me. So how did He break me? This past school year at Oakwood University (OU), I was the Chaplin of Voices of Triumph Gospel Choir (VOT). Honestly, I never really wanted to be Chaplin, I just wanted to be on the board of the choir. Originally I was planning on running for outreach coordinator however, God had other plans for me. Instead of being outreach coordinator I became the Chaplin. During that summer break, I started planning for the semester and figured that being Chaplin would be easy.…

I Wish.

June 28, 2017 /

I remember as a kid growing up and watching different TV shows and movies where people were granted wishes. I would sit there fascinated by how these wishes were granted. Cinderella had glass slippers and a stunning ball gown to wear to the ball; her wish was granted by her fairy godmother. Little Mermaid wish was to be human and her wish was granted as well. There are so many other childhood stories that share this idea where if you wish upon a star, your wish will come true. Spoiler Alert, this is not true; well not for my case. About 16 years ago, my life was alerted in the most unimaginable…

Get You A Friend That Prays… With You!

June 21, 2017 /

One thing that I loved the most about college was the opportunity to form friendships with so many people. The friends that you make become the people that encourage you, grow you, your partner in crime, your driver, and so much more. All of the friends that I made in college played and continue to play a vital part of my life; I really don’t know what life would be like if I didn’t have them in it. However, there is one type of friend that you NEED in life. A friend that will pray with you! Sounds crazy? It’s not. Of all the people who you need in life, you need…

Dear Future College Student… You Did It!

June 18, 2017 /

Dear Future College Student, Graduation is over! You have made it through high school, Congratulations!! As you make your final decisions on college, I want to give you some advice. Get involved in your freshman year. What I mean by this is find a club, a choir, an organization, or anything that sparks your interest and join it. This is important because as you matriculate through college, the club that you join, will be a resume booster and it will open great networking opportunities. Here is my story about a club that changed my life. When I got to college, one of my professor’s was in the process of starting…

When Life Gives You Potatoes!

June 16, 2017 /

All my life I have heard the saying ‘when life gives you lemons make lemonade’; but what do you do when life gives you potatoes? Potatoes??? Why potatoes? is probably what you are asking about now or how can life give you potatoes. Well let me first explain what a potato is. Potatoes are the swollen part of the plant underground stem called tuber. The tuber provides the green leafy portion of the plant with nutrients, hence why the potato is starchy and called the comfort food. Potatoes are rich in vitamin B6, potassium, copper, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. When the potato isn’t fried or loaded with all…

With God, I Can!

June 14, 2017 /

There are times in life where I don’t think I am capable of accomplishing the dreams and goals I have for life. Sometimes I see a woman that has all of the capabilities to reach her dreams but somehow fear keeps her from chasing her dreams. I hear the praise that people give me for the things I have accomplished but when I attempt to do something grand I freeze in fear. I freeze in fear because I am afraid of the unknown. I am afraid that I will fail even though the past does not show me failing. I freeze in fear because thinking about being vulnerable is frightening…
