  Ingredients: •  Boneless Chicken Breasts • Bell Peppers • Shredded cheese • Flour Tortilla Bread  • A pack of El Paso fajita seasoning  What To Do: 1. After you clean your chicken and season (with a seasoning of your choice) just let your chicken thoroughly cook. After it cools off you shred it into pieces and sit aside.  2. You can start your peppers next. I usually buy mine already chopped but you can easily chop the peppers. In a lightly greased pan you just let your peppers cook while stirring them around so they don't stick to the pan. It doesn't take long for peppers to cook, about 15 minutes. 3. Now you're ready for your tortilla bread. So you put one of your tortillas down in a lightly greased pan on low heat. Then you put some of your chicken, peppers, and cheese on top of that one. Put  another tortilla on top of that one. You take a spatula and press down gently. Flip it over after about 1 minute, then press down again. You'll want your heat lo...

    It's hard to believe that it's been a year of me blogging already! When I first decided to start my blog up, I was filled with hesitation. I honestly didn’t even know that some people still read blogs on Blogger. My friends were starting YouTube channels and encouraged me to start working on my blogs. I wasn’t sure what I’d talk about or if anyone would care about what I talked about. But the more content I created, the more viewership my page received. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude! I appreciate everyone that has checked out my work. There’s been readers from all over the world that have checked out my work. It’s really amazing to gain readers that live outside of the US. I’ve had months where I’m blooming with writing ideas, months where I’m suffering from writer’s block, months where I’m gaining amazing traffic, and months where my traffic is extremely low, but I will prevail. God has truly blessed me on my writing journey and I know he’ll continue to oversee my path. ...

May is truly passing quickly. I’ve been a bit preoccupied this month trying to get my priorities straightened out. I’ll be back in school soon and I’ve been a bit stretched thin trying to get things going. I haven’t had the spare time I’d like to post, and I’ve been extremely tired. Due to my tiredness I thought the subject of sleep would be relevant to mention. I want to talk about some interesting loss of sleep facts.  • Being sleep deprived and driving is as dangerous as drunk driving. • Lack of sleep can increase your chance of getting cancer. • Lack of sleep can cause weight gain. • Not sleeping causes toxins to build up in our brain. • Grieving can cause insomnia. • You don’t dream when you snore. • Vaccines are less effective if you’re sleep deprived . • Drinking coffee at night can keep you up an extra 40 minutes. • Our phone light confuses our brains and cause them to feel like it’s daylight .

Throughout my busy day, I find myself constantly teaching my kids. Sometimes it’s just having conversations about their surroundings, kid tv shows, and games on their tablets. I try to take advantage of every moment and turn it into a learning conversation. Not to mention, their bedrooms are filled with vocabulary cards hanging up, numbers, and the alphabet. I’ve always wanted to create a learning environment for them so it’s overly familiar. I didn’t want pre-school to be the only exposure to learning that they had.  I’ve always had an interest in learning as a kid and now as an adult, I can see why it’s so vital to give my kids the same strong foundation. It's been proven that children who don't have any prior learning exposure already start school academically delayed. When studies were done in the past, it also showed that black children had less exposure to reading than white children at the start of kindergarten. Since these studies were done, programs like HeadStart was ...

      Hi everyone! Yesterday, I talked about emotional bondage. I think a lot about how what we watch and listen to can also cause us certain thoughts that can keep us bound as well. Unfortunately, a lot of black media can seem geared towards reinforcing black stereotypes. I know every year that when the Oscars and other award shows air that there's a lot of uproar about the decrease in black winners or black movies selected for review. There's a lot of different opinions about why this is an issue. Some argue that it's the lack of black films reviewed every year and others feel like it's due to the lack of black movie roles in Hollywood. I feel like we share a responsibility in our writing and filmography not being taken seriously. I don't think it benefits us to limit our talent to only writing urban city drug tales or struggle toxic love stories that include cheating, abuse, manipulation, etc. I'm not saying these are not realistic pieces of inner urban citie...

    May is here! Hope everyone is enjoying Spring time! The bees and wild life are certainly enjoying it in my town. My allergies are not enjoying it as much if I must admit. I've been doing better. I've been regenerating my energy and prioritizing my sleep schedule. Today, my phone was on autoplay and played an interview with Iyanla Vanzant on BreakfastClub. I hadn't intended on listening to it but my hands were wet from washing dishes and I let it play. I ended up enjoying it! It talked a lot about healing and taking proactive steps towards being wholesome. I resonated with it because lately I found myself falling prey to old patterns of anger and allowing people and circumstances to cause me to not exercise my self control like I'd like. I'm a firm believer of working on myself and I was a bit upset at myself for allowing people to upset my positive energy flow. It just made me think recently am I really emotionally in control or am I in emotional bondage? I'...
