“How we love ourselves is how we show people how to love us…..” I can’t remember who said this and where I saw it, but it’s something that’s been on my mind all week. It’s amazing how much we neglect to love ourselves, and then expect people to love us unconditionally. If we have not…

Know Your Worth, and Give it to People Who Deserve it.
When does your heart tell you it’s time to stop? And at what point do you listen? Sometimes, it doesn’t pay to be nice; especially if you’re nice to the wrong people. The people who don’t appreciate your kindness. The people who can’t give you what you give them. So when do you finally say…
The Best Love
Lately I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. I’ve made attempts to smile more, stress less and prepare to embark on a new chapter in my life. It has not always been easy, but I feel like my pain will turn itself into love and reward soon. I’m continuing to build myself up on affirmations…

PSA: Body-Shaming is Played Out: Stop it.
I was watching a video on Twitter today and it made me think of this little public service announcement about our bodies and our health. I say this specifically for women, because women’s bodies endure a lot (childbirth being a main example). BODY-SHAMING IS PLAYED OUT AND IF YOU DO IT YOU’RE HORRIBLE. And let…
Self-CareSunday Highlight: Show Up for Yourself
How often in a day do you find yourself showing up for other people? When someone calls you with a problem, need your advice, needs to vent or talk and you lend an ear for them? But do you do the same for yourself? Do you give yourself quiet time to just enjoy your own…
Happy Birthday.
Whitney, I bet the world would be stunned if you told them you didn’t think you’d make it to this day. But you did. This year you found out, you were flawed like hell. You’re not that great of a person, and you can’t make things perfect. You can’t control anything except your actions and…
A Little Sunday Funday Photoshoot
My sister wanted me to take some pictures of her and my nephews this past weekend. I’m nowhere near professional status, but I took her up on the offer to improve my photography game. While I thoroughly enjoyed photographing my little homies (no matter how moody they were 😂), I think my absolute favorites were…
Self-Care Sunday: Dancing it Out
I just recently watched the episode of Grey’s Anatomy (which is one of my favorites) where Christina and Meredith do their final “dance it out” before Christina leaves to go to Switzerland. It made me think about how sometimes, when life feels like it’s pulling you down, or when everything seems to be going wrong…
Self-Care Sunday: Stop Giving when You Have Nothing Left to Give
How many times do we hear people say “don’t pour from an empty cup?” Now, how many of us actually listen to that advice? No one? Exactly. A lot of us are givers. I’m a giver. I give my all to the people I love. I will go above and beyond without a thought of…
