I love shoes!

A lot of the time I want to be comfortable yet feel cute at the same time. I love wedges because they provide lots of stability for novice heel wearers.

Lesson's learned by chance

This past week for me was one of the hardest weeks that I've had in a while. I can't quite pin point though why my thoughts, job, home, children and everything else overwhelmed me. My emotions were all over the place. I wanted to feel happy, yet daily trials consumed my mind, body and soul.

This past week was a reaffirmation of where I stand with certain individuals in my life. I didn't understand within myself why I was under the impression that things were going to be different though. I guess I was in denial about my past, ignoring my present and afraid of what's to come in my future. Clearly that was just the enemy playing with my mind.

As I begin a new week I was able to recapture my past events, evaluate where I truly stand , and move forward. I can't continue to dwell negatively on what's been going wrong. I went through a lot this past week, however I am aware that hard times shouldn't hinder my progress to move forward and proceed with with what God has in store for my future.

I am now taking more time for myself. I have begun assessing what I need to continue to do in order to to reach a few goals that  have set for myself. After doing that, I started to feel a sense of freedom, as if a burden was lifted from my shoulders. I've decided to keep being the best person that I can be by remaining positive, humble and putting forth an effort at all times. My grind can't stop because I've experienced a few bad days last week.

In conclusion...I can't allow the negative impact of others to be the reason I don't follow my heart or dreams. I have children that need me, motivate, and inspire me. I'm a strong woman and no one can take that from me.

Review: " How To Get Out Of Your Own Way"

. 

As much as I love Tyrese...his music, his movies and his books, I was finally given the opportunity to read and now take the time out to write a review for his book entitled, "How to Get Out of Your Own Way." I should have written this blog months ago after I read the book but in the process of procrastinating on what I wanted to write about, I myself was going through some humbling experiences of my own that encouraged me to have regards and relate to some of the scenarios given in the book. For those of you that have not read the book, it definitely is a good read.

“How to Get Out Of Your Own Way,” was a remarkable story told by multi-talented super star, multi-platinum recording artist Tyrese Gibson. The story behind Gibson was informative and can be inspirational to an audience of all ages. Gibson delivers a positive message to the youth that encourages youngsters to make responsible choices by not allowing negative influence of peers that can persuade one to make bad choices for them individually. “I want you to concentrate on your own goals before thinking about someone else’s. Dropping out is not an option, so you have to stay focused on school, and if your friends are leading you  down the wrong path, surround yourself with a better circle of friends.”

Gibson reminisces about priceless childhood memories that motivated him to become the successful man that he has grown into today. Gibson had a phenomenal way of capturing his childhood and expressing the hardships he experienced with his family. He spoke of good times as well but he knew as a young boy that he would eventually be in pursuit to have a more extravagant life. Gibson grew up in the streets of Watts, Ca. Indeed, Gibson endured hardships as a child exposing him to domestic violence, drugs & alcohol, and even worst being subjected to a vicious environment that he as a male was forced to survive in. Gibson then had to make a choice, “to eat or get eaten.”

Additionally the book offers valuable life lessons that every reader can relate to, such as making positive changes in our lives for the betterment of our future. Gibson covers becoming a father, the different levels of being in a solid relationship with your mate, friends, peers, and business associates. I definitely recommend picking up the book from the library or a local bookstore, to enjoy the more personal side of Tyrese Gibson. He is a entrepreneur, singer, book writer, actor, model and completed many milestones. He has achieved nothing but success in his career since his first start of stardom in a Coca Cola commercial. make sure you sit back and enjoy this book by allowing yourself to be inspired, being more optimistic about new opportunities and making changes that are meaningful in your life by “Getting out of your own way.”
