Stop Doubting Your Greatness

Hi Friends! Hope you are thriving!  

I am literally sitting here wishing time would slow down...I mean it's practically mid-September...how did this happen? It's definitely a reminder that time is precious, and we have to make the most out of this life. I can sometimes find it challenging to remain present in each season. Take Summer for instance - it's one of my favorite times of year, but towards the end I find myself trying to refrain from going full pumpkin spice everything LOL! Once August comes to an end I'm mentally on to the next...Fall! Which also happens to be one of my favorite times of year, but for different reasons. For me Fall represents change. reflection. newness. love & warmth. crisp air & cozy nights. new books & self-discovery. So many feels. As the seasons currently transition I find myself in the same rotation. I am ever-changing (which is okay!). I don't have all the answers to my future figured out just yet. But I do know one thing - there is a fire deep inside of me and it is time for me to stop doubting My Greatness!

My Greatness. Your Greatness. Our Greatness. I believe God gave us all a lil' somethin' somethin' when he made us in His image. Believing this to be true, I still find it difficult to tap into my greatness - which honestly is most frustrating because I'm aware! But thank God for Friends. Friends who encourage you...Friends who see your potential when you don't see it yourself. A little while ago my best friend Chariti gifted me a book titled "You Are a BADASS: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living An Awesome Life" by Jen Sincero (see below). I can't even front, I opened it maybe twice, but it started collecting dust soon after. I recently came across it on my desk and decided to re-open it. I'm happy I did. Because I'm only a few chapters in and this book is already connecting with my soul! The author is an open book (pun intended 😉) about her past experiences. Her life coach style seems to stem from an authentic place of tough love, reflection, and accountability - which leaves the reader thinking and feeling deeper. However, I must warn you, this book ain't for the weak! It will condemn you and hold you accountable. But in my most humble opinion - if it doesn't shake you up, is it even worth it? 

For my friends reading this post that are in similar situations where you are doubting/questioning yourself and in search of your greatness I encourage you to pick up this book. Just give it a try. What have you got to lose? I know Amazon sells it for about $8 or so. You can also check for it at resale book shops or even your local old-school library :) If you end up purchasing let me know your thoughts & feelings & all that good stuff! 



Styling Off,

Hello beautiful people! Happy Holidays! oh, December. such a special month. symbolizing the end of another year. If you're reading this, you've withstood everything that was designed to defeat you this year! Go, You! 🎆 2022 started off pretty rough for me but smoothed out as the year went on. I was blessed with opportunities to connect with old friends, change my scenery, make new friends, create and have Time to truly sit & think (that last one is good/bad LOL! #overthinker) While thinking/reflecting I realized this was a very transformative year for me. It seemed at every turn I learned more and more about myself & my relationships. Truth be told It brought up some ugly truths, and honestly had me thinking I was figuring everything out late or delayed in my Own life. but then I remembered a quote by my dear friend Carrie Bradshaw "Your 30's are for the lessons"... look at me learning lessons & growing & Healing. and apparently on time.

FashionAly Fangirling: Quinta Brunson

Hey peeps! How's it goin in your world? The first time I saw Quinta Brunson was while watching "A Black Lady Sketch Show" on HBO when it premiered season one. Shortly after I saw Quinta on her hit ABC series "Abbott Elementary". Both shows are delightful, and if you haven't heard of either you must be living under a rock! Just sayin. Seriously though, Abbott Elementary is one of my favorite shows these days. Like everyone else in the world I am anxiously awaiting season two. I get that classic feel-good vibe while watching. The same vibe I used to get while watching T.G.I.F shows back in the day. If you don't know, T.G.I.F - 'Thank God it's Friday' premiered back in the 90's on ABC. It was a weekly Friday night lineup of about 4 feel-good tv shows. *Trying hard not to age myself* I must humbly say, they just don't make 'em like that anymore. Anywho, to no surprise Abbott Elementary was recognized at the 2022 Emmy Awards with 7 tot

My Best Friend's Closet

Hey there friends! Been a lil' minute. Hope you've all been in high spirits.   Well, let me begin by saying Happy November! I know I sound like a broken record, but honestly, how is it MID-NOVEMBER?! Wasn't it just Summertime? Even though I'm already missing the warmer temps, I gotta admit November always reminds me to slow down and be thankful. Gratitude and Positive Thinking are key elements. I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need, and for that I give all thanks to God.  I am a very blessed woman. I consider my lifelong friendships to be one of my life's biggest blessings. I suppose it's more like Sisterhood at this point in life💗. Which leads me to another segment of My Best Friend's Closet.  Once again, Essy let me play in her closet and style her up! They say "do something you Love and you'll never work another day in your life" (or something along those lines), and for me playing dress up hardly feels like I'm
