We Must Focus On Our OWN Journey Instead Of Walking The Paths Meant For Others!!!!!!!

Picture
This has been a reoccurring thought that has come up in conversation, in a book that I am currently reading, and on television for the last week. I just knew that I had to write a blog about it!!! Often times, it can be very easy to want to do what everyone else is doing.....especially when they seem to be reaping amazing benefits and blessings in their lives!!! I must admit that in this world of blogging....it seems that everyone uses the same FORMULA to gain more followers which actually works for most. But for some reason, it never felt right IN MY SOUL to follow the masses and how THEY DO THINGS!! I probably have the LEAST following EVER in the blogging world. However, I can sleep at night knowing that I am blogging in a way that is AUTHENTIC TO WHO I AM.  My path and journey is that of a different direction, lane, and purpose!! Don't get me wrong.....the HUMAN SIDE of me definitely understands why it is easy to FOLLOW THE MASSES and why many often do!!! 

I recently encountered adult siblings who feel that it is important to follow the same blueprint that the oldest sibling set. I recognize that culture often plays a big part in this idea and plight. However, I shared in conversation that we all have our own paths, purposes, and gifts in life that require that we take different directions......and that is ABSOLUTELY OK!!! My ideal may be FOREIGN to some......but I SWEAR and LIVE BY IT!!!! As I always say.....instead of us FOCUSING ON WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING....lets put that same time and energy on discovering and developing what we have to offer the world!!!!

I encourage us all to remind ourselves that we do not have to do what EVERYONE ELSE is doing!!!!! 

I welcome your feedback!!!!

The Things That I Am CRUSHING On This Week!!!!!!

Picture
Picture

Happy Friday y'all!!!! This week I have been crushing on my MAC Ruby Woo lipstick and Charlemagne's book entitled Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes To Those Who Create It!! We will first discuss why this red lip is EVERYTHING and MORE to me LOL!!!!! I like to use lipsticks as an accessory to my outfits when I am in the mood to take things up a notch!! My go to lipstick color is MAC Ruby Woo because I think that it COMPLIMENTS my skin tone very well. I also LOVE that red lipstick gives a certain SEXINESS and POP to EVERY WOMAN!!!!! Anyone who knows me will tell you that red lipstick is MY THING!!! I wore this color lipstick several times this week and it heightened the look and feel to every one of my outfits!! 

Now I purchased the audio version to Charlemagne's book a few days ago.......and listen to it every time I am in my car driving from one destination to the next!!! I must say that I will definitely purchase all books that are available as an audio version from now on!!! I feel that it is improving my listening and comprehension skills!!! I also love that it makes my commutes to and from work....including sitting in traffic very interesting to say the least! I am only a quarter of the way into the book and it is SO BOMB!!! I have always been curious about Charlemagne's story and what life was like for him growing up. I also respect his career, hustle, and intelligence to get to where he is today! I am often CRACKING UP LAUGHING as he is telling various stories and life lessons that he has learned! He is the ACTUAL VOICE that is reading the book.....so you can only imagine how comical his book is!!! I paid about $18.00 and so far it is WORTH EVERY PENNY! As someone who is trying to build a brand for herself........I am curious as to what his advice will be when it comes to the art of creating your own opportunities!!! I will give my FULL REVIEW of this book once I am finished reading it!!! 

I must say that I am enjoying getting back to reading and engaging in activities that I used to love prior to the rise of social mediaville and ratchet television!!! If I am being completely honest.......I find myself LESS INTERESTED in what is going on in everyone else's life because I am really LOVING and ENJOYING the hell out of my own life! I often do not post where I am, who I am with, and what I am doing the way that I used to ......because I have been making more of an effort to BE IN THE MOMENT with my loved ones!!! I have nothing to prove to anyone.......and quickly get TURNED OFF when I see a lot of folks DOING THE MOST on the GRAM, Facebook, and all other social media outlets!! Let's start being more in tune with our own lives and stop feeling the need to PROVE OURSELVES so much to the point where we begin to OVERSHARE!!!! 

What are you CRUSHING on these days?

The Fantasy Of Dating That A Lot Of Us Get Caught Up In!!!!!

This is why I LOVE the daytime talk show "THE REAL".........because they discuss NECESSARY REAL LIFE topics!!! I COMPLETELY agree with Adrienne's point to the MAX!!! The only thing that I would say contrary to her point is to know the challenges that come with dating/marrying someone who is 10 plus years your senior (I'll save this explanation for another blog)!!!! I have had this conversation with quite a few of my girlfriends who have easily gotten caught up in their "lists" and fantasies when sharing what they want in their future mates. I also ALWAYS use my love story as an example because my husband and I were not EACH OTHER'S TYPES!! Now if we would have stuck to our LISTS......we would probably be unhappily single! I too did not want to date or marry someone who had children......however, my husband has a son. Sidebar, good luck with dating someone who does not have children in this day and age!!!! I say all of this to say that the person who GOD truly has for us may not always match our lists of wants........however they will possess what we NEED in a partner! Those same girlfriends of mine who I was sharing this point with are still single, getting frustrated with the dating game, are ready to settle down, and some are feeling a bit hopeless when it comes to love. Now I am not shading them by any means.........what I am saying is that they may have to reset some of their filters!!! It can also become a SLIPPERY SLOPE when our lists are only comprised of superficial qualities and attributes that we want the other person to have!

It is also important for us to focus on what WE BRING TO THE TABLE and not just have EXPECTATIONS of what he or she is bringing to the relationship! I feel that it is also CRUCIAL for us to have experienced enough of life prior to marriage or getting into a committed relationship. Meaning, it is good to have experience living on your own so that you learn how and what it takes to take care of yourself as well as knowing who you are; and having a healthy sense of self!!!! If we are STRUGGLING with LOVING OURSELVES.......how can we be someone else's better half and have the ability to LOVE THEM HOW THEY NEED TO BE LOVED?????

You gotta love Tamera's blond moments!!!

Do you agree with me? What is your perspective?
