Words

By: Simantha
People use words to define you, what you are and where you are going. You can decide what words you like to associate your self with. Words can be weapons, they can become things, and be hurtful. Pay attention to what you are saying to yourself and to others. When speaking with others we have to be careful about how the words things that we are spreading. Words change perception and opinions. Words. "Words are things." Dr. Maya Angelou

PEACE

Every time I turn around someone is asking me what’s my New Year Resolutions? Or asking what are my goals for the New Year? First, I want to know why are you evening asking me... to change your goals or to compare your goals to mine…… I mean I don’t think that about everyone. But, you know how everyone wants to be a motivational speaker and think that because you say you’re not motivated that you will get motivated after they give you their speech (maybe I’m the only person thinking this...lol). I feel like the New Year Resolution is the same thing, let me help you set goals and hold you accountable for your goals, and yet the person holding you accountable not accomplishing anything in their life. You got to be able to recognize these people because they are not Les Brown! Let’s move on though - I haven’t set a New Year Resolution. I started to think like, Simantha what do you want out of the year. It’s hard to say what I want out of the year because every day I start to think I want ...

Sibrina turned 12 years old this year! She changed my life, I mean she changed everything about me. She made me stronger, she made me smarter, she gave me confidence and she provided love from someone I had never felt before. This year she turned 12 years old and I can’t be more happier with the young lady she’s turning into. She is smart in her own way and Just Gorgeous ! I think she is the prettiest little girl I have ever seen (but don’t we all think that about our children). Sibrina does ballet full time and drives me crazy about getting them pointe shoes. She has convinced Graison that she is his best friend and I have to say to myself she is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. I’m hard on her though…. I think it’s because I know how hard it is sometimes to be a black girl/ woman. I mean I want her to have the best and be the best. I want her to always choose to do the right thing and I want her to believe that she can be who she wants to be at no cost of selling who s...

Graison's First Haircut

By: Simantha
I have always been the parent who wanted my boy's hair to be cute. I mean I am not the girl who likes men with hair…. Call me old school but I don’t care how neat his hair is it is just something I don’t like. I definitely believe it was taught to me, but with that being said it is also something that I wouldn’t change and I am taking it with me…. Despite how anyone else feels, please don’t try to explain anything to me to get me to be more understanding. It is something I don’t have to understand… PERIOD. So now let me tell you how childish I was, yep real childish. I am laughing as I am typing this because Simantha ain’t no way you thought you should have done this. Hahaha! So here’s the thing Graison was I think like 19 months old and I kept telling my husband he needs a haircut. Now as bad as I wanted him to be a little girl, I am so Thankful to God he gave me another little boy because guess who can’t do hair….. Your girl, can’t do any hair at all. I am barely making it tryi...
