You Can Do it!......No seriously you can :)

            
Hello all!  I  know your time is valuable so I will make this quick.  I was just thinking over my life and different things I have accomplished and have not accomplished.  Contemplating over things that I always wanted to do but couldn't because of certain situations and life decisions.  Honestly I have never been a very confident person and have always lacked self motivation. My mom always used to say "Girl you just have no get up and go".  lol  I think Ive always had the mind set to not reach for the sky and to live in a pretty mediocre existence.  Any-who as I was pondering over this I had a revelation, why cant I do whatever it is I set my mind to?  Why don't I have the ability like others to set out and complete the things i set out to do?   The conclusion I came to was I had too many excuses and not enough solutions, I doubted myself way too much, my confidence level was at a low.  ( of course once i told my hubby all of this, he said uh....Duh) As soon as i started to think a little more positive, I started to become more productive.  I know we all heard it before, the mind is a powerful thing (or was that cocaine is a powerful drug???) anyway they were right, it is.  There are so many other people I know who are just like me who are scared to take risks, scared to think outside the box, and scared to set themselves apart from the rest.  For me not anymore, we have to make our lives count and we have to do the things that make us happy and not have any reservations about it.  I love to write but I was scared no one will read my stuff.  Then I thought you know what WHO CARES if only one person reads this, I will still be happy.  Anyways I said all this to say have confidence in yourself, love yourself, and believe in yourself because no one else will if you don't.




Lovn Lyfe and wish'n you the bestest,

My take on interracial relationships

     Hello all this is my very first blog and I am very excited to share my thoughts and opinions with you guys. 


                                                         Me and my family on a trip in NY.

 This morning I was looking at my daughter's face and admiring her uniqueness and beauty, as I was doing this, my mind instantly started to rush with thoughts of how her life may turn out. Like where will she attend college, what career path will she choose, and most of all who will she bring home for dinner...lol  I may be a little bias regarding this subject since I am an African American woman and my husband is Puerto Rican.  I have had many, especially men call me a sell out and other derogatory words I wont mention here, but as a teenager i was always open to dating different types of people no matter what the color of their skin.  Although there is nothing wrong with dating someone of a different race, you cannot go into the relationship thinking it will be apple pie, because just like same race couples, there will always be issues. I just think that interracial couples have to deal with just a tad bit more.  While dating my husband, I think me and him had a rude awakening to how alike and different our cultures were.  While it's been a tough road, I would never regret making the choices i have made, I love my husband so much and I have learned about a whole new culture and now it is a huge part of my life.  I am not ignorant anymore to certain things i would have been if I hadn't met and gotten to know him.  I think it is unfortunate that some people totally disapprove of interracial dating.  Some people say it's my preference not to date outside my race and i totally agree one hundred percent, i just get annoyed when people judge others for their decisions.  When I look at my kids I see pure beauty and if it wasn't for the meeting of  my husband and giving him a chance to show me the awesome man that he is, I never would get to experience the pure joy of having my wonderful unique little angles.  So whoever she decides to bring home for dinner, as long as he has a good heart and respects my daughter, the color of his skin will not be an issue in my home.   Thanks for reading!


Best wishes and blessings to all,
