The colors of a inward body

❤️This may be a little detailed for some, so please view it at your discretion❤️

What color is your blood?

Red or blue?

What color are your teeth?

Black, beige, yellow, or white?

What color are your eyes?

Blue, green, or brown?

What color is your hair?

Black, brown, blonde, or red?

What color is your heart? 

Crimson, Mahogany, or Black?

What color is your urine?

No color, red, black, or yellow?

What color is your feces?

Brown, gray, white, or black?

What color is the inside of your palm?

What color is the sole of your feet?

Do you hate the colors within? 

Do you try to harm yourself because you hate the colors within? 

If the answer is no, why do you hate the colors on the outside? 

If the answer is yes, then sadly you are the problem...

Trying and crying times

"Listen as your day unfolds 

Challenge what the future holds 

Try and keep your head up to the sky 

Lovers, they may cause you tears 

Go ahead, release your fears 

Stand up and be counted 

Don't be 'shamed to cry

You gotta be 

You gotta be bad 

You gotta be bold 

You gotta be wiser 

You gotta be hard 

You gotta be tough 

You got to be stronger 

You gotta be cool 

You gotta be calm 

You gotta stay together 

All I know, all I know love will save the day"… ~Des’ree

Growing up my Aunt R used to play this song every morning before going to work. She didn't know this but I always looked forward to hearing it. It was a song of encouragement and strength. I write this to say that there may be tough days ahead. There are days when you may enter a season of crying and despair. And even lose hope. A part of me is in that season of lost hope. It's not an easy place to be. But I want to say that it's only for a time. My feelings are valid and so are yours. Not everything is meant to be swept under the rug. Sometimes it must be faced with full force. However, trouble doesn't last always. You and I will overcome and sometimes overcoming may be letting go of what was or what could have been. It may be hard to do but peace will come soon. So just remember to stay strong and understand that you are going to become stronger through this. 🌷❤️

What if?

What if a woman taps out?

Due to being stressed out?

What if a woman gives up?

Due to her life being in a rut?

What if a woman stands still?

Rather than struggle up the hill?

What if a woman gave up her womb?

Would the world become a tomb?

What if a woman walks away?

Would she be blamed for the rest of her days?

What if a woman stays alone?

Will the world feel her wrath down to their bones?

What if a woman cries for help?

Will they think she's only thinking of herself?

What if I stopped showing care?

Will the world miss my shares?

What if I lay down and rest?

Nothing, then the world will show how they failed this test...

Write where you are appreciated

Hey everyone. Sometimes, I feel as if im writing to the sky, and only the clouds know how I feel. At times I feel like my writing or input is not understood or worth reading. But I keep going because I know that there are individuals out there who can relate to how I feel. I think that if I stop I will be burying my talent, which I don't want to do. So I push on and keep on. It may be hidden for a season but one day it will be revealed to those who appreciate a difference. So if you write and may feel discouraged, keep going. If you feel like an outcast, there are some people who will understand our language and why we write the way we do. I don't fit in every conversation and I'm no longer going to try or voice my way in them. It gets exhausting after a while. I am me, and I write, that's all🤷‍♀️. Either receive it or not. Here's to acceptance and evolution❤️🦋

Writing goals

A few people that know me, understand that I have a passion for writing. I like to write short, realistic stories and poetry as well. Last year, I made a goal that I would put out a small book. Nothing serious like my life story. I achieved this but it's not what you may expect. So on a spring day, I will be sharing my writing via pdf or PowerPoint presentation whichever you choose. It's poems of life from my perspective. I have learned that we all have different perspectives and that's okay. We have different feelings, thoughts, and walks of life. What we can do is show empathy to each other while doing this thing called life. Life has a lot of twists, turns, fears, tears, misunderstandings, anger, and plenty more. The Most High has gotten me through them all and I continue to walk the battle of life with a sword in my hand ready at any moment to put it to use. When you look at the word sword, it's just words but with the 's' in the front. I want to use my words to maybe make an impact on this life journey. So look for my poetry writings here in a few weeks. See you soon❤️🌺

A bit of late night motivation

"Be selective with your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right". Unknown 

I don't have all the answers, and there may be some things I am right about, however my peace is more important than anything. A short word of encouragement for those who may be going to work or for my readers who are on the other side of the world.❤️🌷

When you are immobile

Sometimes in life we take for granted the gift of mobility that we have. When we go through seasons of immobility, we are grateful for those around us who will be able to help us. Whether that be a spouse, children, or friends to share a word of hope. Sometimes in life, we experience unexpectant pains that will literary knock the wind out you. But after you are healed, we learn to have a greater appreciation of the support that we do have. So today take a moment to appreciate that you have all your limbs working. To any reader who may not, I can say while dealing with it I understand the pain. You are not invisible. Thank you for your perseverance and for showing us to push through even though it maybe hard or seem impossible. I appreciate you❤️

Show some empathy

Empathy- the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Alot of times we as a people forget to show empathy for our fellow man. Many things have divided us and continue to divide us. We have so many disagreements, that in my humble opinion have destroyed us and I don't see us coming back from it. However, even though my eyes are dim right now as to what's ahead of us, I still hold on to hope. Even though my hope sometimes fades, it never goes away. I think if we just try to have empathy for one another then maybe we can take a tiny step forward. I have hope in this not only for me but my children. I don't want them to grow up in a colder world than what we have here. If I can make a change in someone's life through my writing and making an effort to do different, then to me that's progress. First starting with my household and then making an effort to restore broken relationships. Even though it may be hard to do it's a step forward and not backward. So today try to show empathy to someone in need. Try to listen attentively and do not be so quick to speak. Myself included. Sometimes people just need someone to hear them❤️ Yesterday I saw you and today I hear you. ❤️🌷

Isolation in motherhood

I've been very quiet lately. Life has taken over and I have a lot on my plate. Being a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mother takes alot of strength and courage. It has many up and down days, and also many lonely days. I have realized that this role is not for the faint-hearted, and at times I have fallen into this category of being faint. Most people don't understand the whys behind this lifestyle but are quick to judge you very harshly. Not every day is sunshine and roses. There are days when I just want to think of nothing, but that is impossible when there are responsibilities that need to be taken care of. So at times, I get really quiet and just stop. Without support and I mean real support from other wives and mothers it can be really hard. So, I humbly ask the next time you see a mother who may look exhausted, and want to reach out to you, maybe try to listen and have empathy for her. Alot of people only see the outside of motherhood but don't see what's going on the inside because no one cares how you are doing. Hug that sister and tell her everything will be okay in time. Just know wife and mom I see you, I understand you, and I hope that you see me too❤️🌷

Flee the echo chamber

There have been alot of conversations lately that have been pretty...repetitive. As I browse through them, I wonder are these individuals helping or hurting. Are they causing strife or safety? As grown people who review it and get nauseated by it, I think about the influence that it may have on the younger generation coming up after ours. If we don't start thinking about the type of conversations that are being had, we are going to be the same generation that they blame for not teaching them properly, as we have blamed the generation before us for not teaching properly. There needs to be a balance in conversations so our younger people can grow. Real things are changing in the world today, and I'm scared that many people are not prepared for the changes that are coming. Folks, if you are able, remove yourself from the echo chambers so you can see what's happening because when things change many will be caught off guard. Just sharing my perspective. Have a great day folks and don't let AI rule over you❤️🦋

Yes i quietly quit

Yup, you read that right. I quit, however, I learned something during the process. Whether I quit or stay consistence life will continue to go on. Whether I'm here or not business will be as usual. This was a reality check for me. The world doesn't care whether I quit or not. So I have to make a choice. The choice I'm making is to continue to go on. Im choosing to make an impact on this world. So when the time comes and I'm no longer here then my words, my love, and my presence could be a gift to the world. I'm matching forward....🦋

Oh yeah, its black history month. With the recent things that has happening in the community lately, seems like history hasn't changed much.🤍✌️
