The saying, ‘Know your worth,’ is thrown around a lot on the internet these days. Nine times out of ten this statement is used in reference to a relationship that has gone sour. Someone cheats and the definition of knowing your worth is walking away from the relationship. You find out that your person has another person, you either wait for them to choose you or walk away because YOU KNOW YOUR WORTH. I too chose to run with this at one point...
Loss has been something that I have experienced ever since I was young, at 7 years old I lost both my parents. I did not know that this was just the beginning, losing a parent is hard. If I were asked to explain what it felt like for me I would say it is as though parts of your being have been shredded and then stuck back on you. And the wind keeps blowing harder than it should, making it your responsibility to shield your shreds and keep them...
Happy new year to you my darlings! Guess who has another opportunity to chase their dreams and make them happen, yep, you and I. I am very excited for the year but I do want to talk about something we often overlook and has us grading our years as uneventful. Most times people consider their years to be successful after they have done something big. Where I am from ‘big things’ include buying a car, a house, getting a promotion or getting...
Years ago I got the chance to visit a childrens home (I hate calling them orphanages, story for another day) with my then church choir. It was such a trip for me because I too was orphaned at seven years old. I wanted to hug all of them and let them know that they were going to be ok, that they deserved to dream as big as they wanted to no matter what. I wanted them to know that they are not less because they lost their parents, they were...
Cause I am. I know for some it seems like I have everything on lock but I am not going to lie, I crumble too. I am scared of what the future holds, are the decisions I am making now going to have a positive effect in the future. I often wonder if there is something I am missing, when opportunities knock on my door and I turn them down I question whether I did the right thing or just played myself. I wish I could see into the future but ay, I am...
You are steady questioning everything happening around you, questioning your worth, questioning if you will ever get to the top. When you look around you, nothing makes sense. You feel as though you are going in circles, working your ass off with no results. Yeah, I get you, I get that you are tired and wish everything could just stop! I get into this state more than I would like to confess and I don't talk about it anymore because people just...
February was designated the month of love and it's always pretty hectic for many. For some it reminds them how single they are, and that realization may turn into thoughts such as, 'I am unwanted.' I hope those thoughts disappear as fast as they came around! Some have the pressure to impress, but no for loved ones. It’s for the gram, uh huh, we know y'all too. Forgetting to embrace the moment, to love on your person and choosing to make the...
Honey-child move! How rude of me, I did not greet you, how are you? How is January treating you? I am doing alright but today I want to talk about practising less of the talking and actually DOING! We all struggle with this part of life, don’t we? The part where we actually have to do something that we know full well will benefit us, our parents and grandparents would say we are being fought by spirits. I just think we are afraid of finding out...
Cultivating healthy habits and staying disciplined, chile that is the one thing that you continue to learn every single day. Today I would like to preach to my fellow impulse buyers, we need to heal from this deadly disease and we need to do it now! My biggest weakness is clothes, jumpsuits if I am being specific, a girl could never enough jumpsuits in her closet. I often leave the house with a list of things I need to get for myself but the...
Listen I have started so many businesses and they have failed! I can blame the economy and the government, I really can, but the truth is I was the problem. When I thought of an idea, my imagination played tricks on me so hard because it took me as far as seeing myself making thousands of dollars right away. Not once did I sit down to make a plan for the business, for me all I wanted is to make money and put it in my pocket, time for drinks!!!...
I remember when I was younger and all I ever wished for was to grow up and make my own money. I dreamt of buying a car and a house, I would have all the food I liked and ate it the way I wished because damn it, it is my food! Then adulthood came and shook me to my core, and I know I am not the only one. This thing comes with its own ups and downs and quite frankly I want a refund for the dreams I bought. The money comes but it is never enough...
‘I got this, I do not need anyone else to help.’ Well, do you really got it though? I see many people with this attitude and I do not judge them because once upon a time I was them. That stemmed mostly from childhood trauma, I always felt like when I asked for something I was ignored. I lacked things I felt I shouldn't have as a child. And that made me very hardhearted to the extent I vowed that I would never need anyone to help me ever again....
Let me start by asking you, 'what do you do and how often do things evolve in your industry?' (Comment below!) In my industry, it feels like things daily. I mean I have to deal with Facebook and Instagram so you can imagine what that is like, those two platforms drain me so much. Clients will see a notification about changes, they panic and start messaging me with questions so guess who must research? Yep, me. If I am being completely honest...
Here is something many of you may not know about me, I am easily attracted to broken souls. I often tell myself that I can help them patch up the broken pieces and be whole all over again. I have had friends and boyfriends that were broken and by the time I left those relationships I was just as broken if not worse. It is such a terrible toxic cycle that I continue to land myself in and I am tired, it wears my soul out! I am guessing I do not...
Happiness, it feels like a myth considering the times that we are in right. We have been tried and tested by this virus for over 300 days now and I have to say, this is not the life I envisioned. It feels so closed up and suffocating, we have always been uncertain about what tomorrow holds but this virus definitely has shifted the gears. We log onto our social media and post pictures of ourselves with corny captions and it seems as though we...
Our lives are very busy, we are always doing this or that. Even in this very lockdown we find ourselves overwhelmed whilst confined in our own homes, who thought? None of us where ever prepared for what 2020 brought. Our homes have become our working spaces, for some they have also become the nursery and the high school, the restaurant and the hotel. It's a lot, isn't it. It starts to feel heavy and it weighs on you but here are a few things...
Growing up I had a small body and so I suffered from an inferiority complex, I saw myself as insignificant and I doubted my capabilities and failed to realize that dynamites come in small packages, I always thought that others people were better than me and always gave them leverage over me. It took me 16 years for me to grow from an insecure young girl who was drowning in the anxiety of other peoples' perceptions to a confident and proud young...
I have done it before and I bet you have done it too. So we can agree that we both need to stop it right? The more I thought about this topic the more I asked myself why as humans we think we can get away with things that have already proved to be problematic. Do you we convince ourselves that we are somewhat different? That something in our DNA allows us to try these things and we are exempt from the consequences. Hilarious huh? I remember...
