The Pursuit of Happiness

I TALK TOO MUCH. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I am vocal about the things that I am passionate about. I'm truly working on trying to be a better me and to worry less. I am literally tuning out the noise. The values that were instilled in me, the upbringing I had it made me who I am today-flaws and all. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I do only wish I had of inherited more my Mother's personality. She NEVER lost her cool unless you were trying to play yourself. The stories I heard in the Post Office omg. That's why no matter WHAT I did to try to get fired LOL they wouldn't do it because my Mother was no joke.  I always knew that time we spent together was magical. Now that she's gone I feel it even more so. It also kept me in that Call Center all those years. She worked hard and didn't complain or brag about it either. It was just who she was and how she was raised. I miss her so much.

When you blog, communicate publicly in any form it's refreshing and electrifying but you also are exposing yourself. I counsel and converse with many people in confidence. When you write your words are privy to ALL. I'm just trying to publish relatable content. To broaden my horizons and extend my reach. Share my points of view with the masses.

I have accomplished so much this month. I build my days around Jermaine Jr. I get up early, plan my day the night before. I ain't perfect. Some days are better than others and I do have my triggers. One of the first tips to being successful in becoming a better you is organization. Getting things in order imperative. I have a ways to go but one area I have progressed in is focusing on what you can achieve. Home improvement projects. Getting rid of the clutter. I have had fake funerals for shirts, books, drawings. Jermaine is meticulous with EVERYTHING and David is grown and super organized.

Also planning and preparation is essential. We KNOW the holidays are approaching. Depression, finances and YOU can't stop you from making the effort. It only crushes the spirits of the ones you love. I know from whence I speak. No need to dwell on what once was. No need to panic on what might be.

And networking can also be found in socializing. I go to different functions and meet so many wonderful individuals. Talented and diverse be open to venturing out of your comfort zone. And traveling by yourself. If your tastes vary from others or even if there aren't any others don't decline the invitations. I guarantee you when you get there you will gravitate towards people who share common interests. I love politics, art, and fashion. My demographic also includes mothers of toddlers as well as adult children. And YES there's a sect of us that has BOTH.

Do YOU! I'm the Queen of pep talks. I see what you COULD see in yourself. And NO my third eye doesn't unfortunately always tell me what's best for me. But my heart does. I know what FEELS GOOD. When in doubt just go with the flow and play it by ear. Life is so much more thrilling when you spend it with people. The truest pursuit of happiness starts when you look in the mirror.

  Healing comes in many forms. I can only speak for myself but setting firm boundaries and choosing not to engage works wonders. I literally see people’s names and recoil.  I always was making the effort. I’m not begging nobody to be in my life. I didn’t do nothing to nobody. JJ requires so MUCH of me. It’s funny because I realized just how much people don’t give AF when I stopped giving AF. I don’t CARE. If I NEVER spoke to some people again in LIFE  I will NEVER give AF. I laugh because life is so much easier without other people sh*t wearing you down. MAD out of NOWHERE. Creating FAKE conflict. Acting like yall not worried about ME but watch EVERYTHING I DO!  I raised a whole human being before I was forty. It was good and bad times but at least I can say I was present and didn’t give up. I tell a lot of jokes but I sleep good ever night behind my kids. I do. Can’t nobody make me feel BAD. Some of yall wanna dress like me, have my bubbly personality. Overcome adve...

Family Ties

When you are an overachiever, successful and KiND you can’t let people drain and drag you down because they can’t RELATE. It will change your personality because you will be on sets and in rooms that you don’t belong in.  Don’t you think I KNOW that if I was docile, submissive, subservient and STUPID what my life would be LIKE? Who I would of become? Where I would of ended up?  Until RECENTLY I HONESTLY was SCARED to TELL my STORY. I STILL wasn’t READY. But being at Auntie S’s beautiful home last Christmas and her pleading with me to WRITE our STORY with her beautiful, clear Doe looking eyes that mirror my Grendmothers I KNEW I had too. Nana used to look at me the SAME way.  Because my Uncle Sam who has ALWAYS had my BACK throughout my entire life whether it be OVERJOYED I was SKIPPING a GRADE. Helping  me write my business PLAN, letting me drive his BRAND new CAR for my road test and being the FIRST one in my FAMILY including my parents that I told I was pregnant wi...

Imitation of Life

  I read that when you feel stressed out you should plan a vacation. My good friend who supported me throughout the years in many ways invited me to celebrate her birthday with her. I’m really excited because she’s amazing and a true BOSS and we are going to have a TIME.  I am making monumental strides in life. I’m Moving Right Along like my Father taught me. Early this morning my Aunt Darlene’s post about my Mothers favorite song “I wanna Thank You” (Heavenly Father) by Alicia Meyers. It’s Michael B. Jordan’s favorite song too. He said it in Vogue’s 73 Questions.  Just seeing my Mothers Name and the fact that this was her song brought so many memories back. This world is beyond ridiculous now. Like my heart hurts but I cannot let it break. So I’m living each day on purpose in my truest form. Self care is not selfish it’s a necessity. We watch reality tv and come on. All that money. It doesn’t buy happiness but it alleviates so many problems. So choose peace every day. An...
