  • Birthday Lessons

    Hello Honeybees, 

    I’ve had 52 wonderful trips around the sun and it stands to reason that I have learned some valuable lessons. So to celebrate my birthday I am sharing some lessons that have helped to shape me.

    • People are fine with you as long as you stay in the place that makes them comfortable. When you step outside of the comfort zone that they have for you, they say that you are changing and they have a hard time handling it. But that’s the time that you know that you are growing. That’s the time when you should grow faster and stronger. Don’t ever let someone dictate your growth. If they can’t handle your growth then they don’t have your best interest at heart. Don’t ever stop growing no matter what.

     

    • Privilege is a powerful drug. Be sure not to overdose.

     

    • People will always have the right solution to the problem until it’s their problem to solve. Somethings are easier said than done.

     

    • When people push you in a negative way…stand up and push back. Don’t let people run over you, you deserve better than that, hell you are better than that.

     

    • Don’t miss this one… the Donald Trumps of this world won’t always look or act like him. Some exhibit the same tendencies they are just smoother with it.

    • You are never too old to start over. Don’t live in a space of fear. Do what makes your spirit happy & your soul sing.

     

    • You have a special power, embrace it, use it. Believe in yourself & don’t let anyone talk you out of it. Get out of your own head.

     

    • You can be your biggest cheerleader or your biggest distraction, it’s up to you.

     

    • If you’ve never driven a car you can’t teach me how to drive. If you’ve never turned on a stove you can’t teach me how to bake. Watch who you take advice from & watch who you follow.

     

    • When people throw you under the bus don’t give them the opportunity to back up over you.

    • You are a beacon of hope for someone, share your story, God gave it to you for a reason.

     

    • Go to therapy, not because it’s the “in”thing to do but because we all have stuff to deal with.

     

    • Don’t live in a mindset of bare minimum, live in a mindset of abundance.

     

    • We can’t help getting older but we don’t have to get old.

    • Don’t let one scene takeover the story of your whole life.

     

    • People interpret what you say based on their experience.

    Last but certainly not least….

    • Protect your melanin, wear sunscreen.

    I hope that you have enjoyed these lessons. I look forward to sharing more lessons next year. Meet me here July 16, 2020!

  • One Day

    Hello honeybees,

    We all have that one article of clothing that we keep in the back of the closet that we will get back into “ONE DAY”. For most it’s a pair of jeans but for me it was this dress.

    A little history on this dress. One of my bff’s was purging her closet and gave me this dress. Y’all this was so long ago that I can’t even remember what year it was. Yes, I said YEARS. When I first saw this dress I fell in love with it. The color and the shape was just so beautiful to me. I’m not surprised by this because my bff has great taste. In fact a lot of the clothes that I wear are either thrifted or she handed them down to me. I love clothes, dressing up and sometimes I even like to shop but I can always count on her to give me some beautiful pieces.

    The first time I tried on this dress I couldn’t get it over my hips. Imagine my disappointment. My heart was broken. Since this dress came into my life I have done several closet purges including downsizing from a house to an apartment. But I just couldn’t part with this dress. Whenever I would see it in my closet I would mentally say….ONE DAY!

    So today I am happy to say that I made it. Not only can I get the dress over my hips I can zip it and I have plenty of room to breathe (insert praise shout here).

    So why did I share this story? Because although it took me years, with an S, to get into this dress I never gave up. I knew in my heart of hearts that one day I would be able to rock it. It was about the goal that I attached to this dress. So whatever goal you are trying to conquer, whether it’s losing weight or something else, don’t give up. It might not happen on your ideal schedule but if you keep at it, it will happen.

  • C Zone

    Hello Honeybees,

    By nature I love being comfortable. I love knowing the plan. I love knowing the what next. My comfort zone is like a big warm blanket in front of the fireplace on a chilly day. All nice and cozy.

    But lately I’ve been pushed outside of my comfort zone. And guess what? I’m okay with it. I’m discovering that being outside of my comfort zone can be fun and who doesn’t like a little fun?

    You rarely ever make changes in the world by staying in the comfort zone. Beyond your comfort zone is adventure. I’m ready to go to new places,try new things, experience new and adventurous fun.

    Believe it or not wearing this outfit is waaayyy outside my comfort zone. The prints to me are big & bold and I need a solid color in there somewhere hence the purse for a pop of color. I really love this look. It’s my baby step on the wild side.

    We have now entered #Cancerszn and for my 52nd birthday on the 16th I want to do something outside of my comfort zone.

    Leave me some suggestions on what I should do & I’ll let you know what I decide.

    Outfit is completely thrifted
