Polished Diamond’s round table: cut & uncut
I created a Facebook group hoping to invite people to a table that focuses on uniqueness, creativity, and open discussions on many topics; To introduce books, rather it’s one you’ve written or from your favorite author and discuss the book(s) which we’ve read. This is my own spin of a book club and only requirement is to be positive and uplifting, no negativity or judgement.
I’ve always wanted…
Truths Behind Sibling Bonds
A bond as important as that of a husband and wife, is the bond between siblings. Lee Dong-Wook
I was in the middle of congratulating my sister on the new chapter she’s about to enter into. And I began thinking of our relationship and how wonderful it is and my mind went into overload on the how’s and why’s and I clearly knew what I wanted to express on paper but I couldn’t get the words…
Thought of the day: Day 9 Quarantined
Good evening everyone,
I hope everyone is finding peace and enjoyment in being indoors, even if it’s not by choice. Today I decided to give social media a break and focus more on my writing and giving myself a mental break of consuming so much garbage and complaining that I’ve witnessed online over the past few days.
And it’s only a little after 1pm and I want to remain in this peaceful bubble of…
Loving yourself selfishly
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, I hope everyone has had a lovely day today and if not I hope and pray that it gets better.
I’m sure I’m not the only person on this earth that’s single on Valentine’s Day, but how many can actually say that they’re okay with that status? I am but that’s not what this blog post is about. I’m writing to explain my meaning of loving yourself selfishly.
Selfish is a…
Are you abusing social media or is social media abusing you?
I believe sometimes, we as people, abuse social media and I can be honest and say that I have abused social media myself. As soon as I would wake up, I would grab my phone and check Facebook or Instagram before even saying my prayers and I had to make a change and that I did. Social media can be toxic, depending on the people you follow, your followers, the content that you post, and your agenda…
Message🚨: Relationships/friendships require more than 60/40
All friendships and relationships start off different but I believe they all require the same thing to last, which is equality and balance. My main point I’m trying to make writing this blog is that friendships are very important and require so much work, when honestly I feel like it shouldn’t take a lot but hey a lot changes as you age and unfortunately friendships can end, regardless of…
Happy World Introvert Day
Hello my fellow introvert,
One of a kind. Each introvert is different. I’m a Virgo introvert *pause* I can’t even explain it myself, but I make do with my unique quiet but loud personality.
I enjoy peace and quiet, but I enjoy noise. I prefer to be home alone, earphones in, very loud by the way! playing songs that I’ve listened to on repeat so many times that I’m surprised that I still get…
Happy New Years: Manifest
I will have a savings account big enough for rainy days, vacations, splurging, and investing. I will build my investment portfolio. I will attend more seminars and workshops. I will practice, I will learn, and I won’t give up. I will not make excuses. I will meet every challenge straight ahead. I can’t fail because God has already chose me. He saved me for a reason. Every season will be my…
2020 vision To anyone who's reading this. Please find your peace. Find your balance. Don't take no for an answer.
There’s givers, takers, and combination of both: Who are you? I'm a giver. I give more of myself than I should. Even when I tell myself to not care, distance myself, or even take a self care day and just remain in silence, but for some reason I falter every time.
2020 Vision
I manifest, 2020 will be more challenging and life changing. Every thought, action, feeling, and smell will be imbedded in me. I will pick myself up when I fall, I will pray for myself more, and I won’t shy away from my own truths. I won’t make excuses for myself.I can’t second guess myself or else I won’t make improvements on myself. 2019 taught me a lot and I’m…
The beauty of Melanin
I’ve never been amazed by a black person’s beauty. I mean I’ve been black all my life and all I knew was that we had all different shades that would range from the lightest shades of tan and darkest shade of leather.
I had family members in all shades but I never questioned why , because my dad was a light tan brown and my momma was a couple shades darker and I was born lighter than both and it…
Calling all Trick Or treaters
31 days of Halloween
Today is the first day of October and I’m excited! For me, October is the month for pumpkin spice, pumpkins, scary movies, and haunted houses. And let’s not mention the drop in temperature, I can just swim in a sea of dark tights and sweatshirts.
Although I can watch horror movies anytime I want, which I do, but something about watching them in October just sets the spooky…
Celebrating 27 years on earth
Wow I’m finally 27! Time is definitely speeding up for me. No, 27 isn’t ancient, but I feel as I’ve just graduated high school not long ago when in all actuality next year in May it would have been ten years since I accepted my diploma. And next year in June would be four years since I graduated college.
I’m not trying to age fast or hit certain milestones before I turn 30. Now that will be a…
Are you more accepting or have more tolerance?
Just recently I had a much needed conversation on relationships and what to accept and not to accept. In that conversation I’ve noticed I’m more indirect vs being direct when it comes to expressing the way I feel. And I haven’t quite put my finger on the reason why. Wether it’s due to the person in question or because of the way I process my emotions.
Usually, it’s in the moment of elevated…
