Cinco de Drinko!

Yesterday was May 4th, better known as Star Wars Day. All hail the nerds and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. May the 4th be with you! Well. Now that that's over it's time to drink up. Don't ask me where I'm going. I  have no idea. A land far away filled with margaritas and different shades of tequila. Don't judge me. I need this. This has been an eventful week. My honey bun Elle celebrated her birthday this week providing me with my first studio session ever. I finally got back on the track! I'm running 5K at 47mins, not impressing but not depressing either. I'm running in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this upcoming Sunday (May 12th, Mothers Day 2013) so I spent majority of my week soliciting donations. Soliciting has such a negative connotation but in reality that's what I did. I raised $208 out of $500 so I'm pretty confident I'll reach my goal come Sunday. Yesterday I hosted a brunch/information session to snag a couple more donations, let people know why I'm doing this and lowkey I really just wanted a mimosa.  These are just my thoughts. An end of the week recap. Time to get dressed, Ms. Marie is on her way. You guys make sure you make it to work on time tomorrow...

Bold, Brown, & Beautiful

"She's cute for a dark skinned girl."  "Stop acting light skinned." We've heard all these phrases. Some of us even say these phrases. But under the surface what do they mean to us? The other day I walked by a young girl with a cute puffball ponytail. She complimented me on my hair and I smiled, exchanging compliments with her. As I kept walking I started to wonder if she liked my hair because it was long and straight or if she really, at about 8 or 9, liked my teased mane. It may sound conceited but I really worry about our female youth. I automatically thought about the infamous Oprah baby doll episode. Then I thought about Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' documentary. One thought led to another and I wanted to hug every little brown girl I saw because the media pushes so much on them I just want to protect them. But then I thought about it and in this situation you sort of have to work from the top to the bottom because if we're the li

Dear Diary...

Dear Diary, So. Clearly I haven't posted anything in about two weeks. I blame this little fact on LIFE. Well, actually, I would LIKE to blame life but I think I will blame REALITY instead. Life goes on around me and mentally I sometimes shut down. Luckily for me, when it comes to work I move in autopilot so I don't have to be fully present mentally to get the job done physically.  Well. At least that's what I thought. These past two weeks that I haven't written I lost two people very close to me. One I grew with for almost a decade and one I've watched grow. One whom I share a bloodline with and another who is family but doesn't share a drop of blood with me. I pushed myself to keep going because I know life will keep going around me and I fear I'll get left behind. I force myself to bury my emotions because I don't want to appear broken, although if anything were to break me this would be it. I force myself to not only stand up straight and shake it off

Thanks.

At this point in life I have so much I could complain about. School. Work. Family. Love. You name it, I can complain about it. But I won't! Because the flip side of these possible complaints is that for every single one, I can find more than one thing to be thankful for. We ask for so much. I ask for more freelance gigs, I ask God to wake my Adam, I ask God to send me someone to pay my tuition, but I realized I don't need more things to thank him for I need to be more thankful. When I figured this out everything around me began to make more sense. So. Today I wasn't in the best of moods and I felt like my patience was being tried but instead of lashing out I looked up because there's so much to be thankful for I won't waste a second pondering what ifs and why nots, instead I'll be thankful for what I do have, because I know there's more where that came from. Ten Things I'm Thankful For 1. God. The power of prayer. The FAITH I have in his ac
