Love & Books

 I’ve been in my first year of college since last summer. I’ve been tremendously blessed to receive a 4.0 for both of my semesters. My next semester is here and my newest assignments are awaiting my attention. A three week break was supposed to be just what I needed. I turned my laptop off and kept it closed. School was the last thing I wanted to think about. I wanted to be rejuvenated, prepared, and ready for take off. I’m dragging my book bag instead, sleep deprived, and mentally exhausted. I can do this though! I keep reassuring myself. A night of full rest, a good breakfast, and some encouraging scriptures will do me some good! Sometimes you just have to regroup and give it a go! I’m burned out now, but the results will be worth it in the end. Are you on the edge of burnout? Don’t let it get the best of you yet! Refresh yourself and give it a go! 

Until Next Time,

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

Wavelengths

I've been contemplating on my mental state of mind and the impact others can have on me. As an HSP (highly sensitive person) I tend to soak up so many emotions. This has led me to actively seek out more info on energy absorption. This is a belief that people are able to give off good and bad energy. Depending on their energy, it can have a good impact or negative impact on you. If someone has a bad aura it's destined to ward off on others. Not only that, but a person with a bad aura is destined to cause bad things to happen. Consider people like this "agents of chaos." They disrupt situations and are problematic. They have bad attitudes and personalities. A lot of them also feel empowered when they can bring others down. It's important to be cautious about the company you keep around you. Superficial people will seek friendships based on what they can gain from being around you. They don't care about you on a genuine level, it's a friendship that benefits
