I guess this next blog is inspired by that Whitney Houston song, God rest her soul. I've been kind of numb these past few days my Aunt had passed away from Cancer. I really want to complain about nothings going right, the economy sucks!! I can't find a job, I'm over 30 and still live with my parents. Blah Blah Blah!
I could talk til I'm blue but nothing will change unless I change. I would like to cry right now, and scream why?, and eat every junk food in Michigan right now. Really? What good will that do? I'll be more miserable for putting on pounds and nothing will be solved. That surely won't bring my aunt back neither. So what to do in this situation?
Then I kept thinking about this scripture in the bible Luke 4:18. Jesus was explaining that He was sent of this earth to heal the brokenhearted. Hey, I have a broken heart and I trust Jesus to heal it? Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. That's it I can lean on my own understanding (mind, will and emotions). So my broken heart such go to God!!! Not to people, they can only disappoint you. Psalm 146:3-4
Wow, I actually feel a lot better writing this as I go! I have to trust God that things will get better, so they can actually get better. Okay, I'll stop my tears, cupcakes, and my screams of why? for now. Well, maybe not the cupcakes! ;)

Hot Body? or Hit Hair?
Ladies? Have you ever had a good work out and then you notice that you couldn't go anywhere else because of your hair? I've heard the quote of woman especially African American woman say that one of the major reasons why they don't exercise is because "They Don't Want To Sweat Their Hair Out".
I've also notice that (African American) woman that work out constantly wear full weaves, wigs or The Natural. Well, I don't think there's nothing wrong with that you have to look good for you. Why is it always a problem keeping our hair together plus work out at the same time?
I started working out last last with Zumba classes, I would invite woman to take the classes at first they would be like I don't want to sweat my edges or my hair out. I didn't see what the problem was until this year when I decided to go natural and also I started stepping up my work out routine, then my hair suffered more then my own body did. It's hard to keep up with your own hair sometimes.
I was even tempted to go back to my relaxer, actually I still am. Anyway, I did want to stay healthy and not be a sloppy thick girl. I have a man now, so I have to keep it tight, not just for him but for me especially.We always want to stay fit and look great a all times, but sometimes you wonder is it possible to have both, especially my chocolate drop sistas out there? I know it's possible, when without getting a fade, with I am also tempted to do.
I like Afro's, I really do, but I don't want to worry about developing one when I work out, especially when I took 2 hours to straightening my hair, I know I'm not the only one that feel this way, right? I think it's still necessary to exercise, Hit Hair or Not!!!
So ladies, what's your input of this topic?

Debt!
I have to admit something. I had registered for the Publisher's Clearing House for a couple of months now to win money. Now a days it's seem's like I'm not the only one that wants to win money.
A week or two ago I've witness people that never played a lottery number has played for the "Mega Millions". Everyone wants and needs a break.
Unemployment is at a all time high especially in Michigan. Gas prices are ridiculous. Everything including groceries have went up in price. Trying to keep up with monthly bills. So I can see why people want a break.
But the major reason why people need a break is to get out of DEBT! Debt can take a toll on not just your finances but into your personal life. It causes stress. It can take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.
Debt can ruin relationships like Friendships, Family, and definitely Marriages! Some times you feel like no matter what you do your debt is here to stay.
When you get that Credit Card you become naive about you have all the time in the world to pay that bill off. Until you find yourself in a situation you can't get out of.
We ( including me) thought that debt was there to help us to get what we want. The buy now, pay it back later. Now your paying for it alright with interest and other fees.
Was this system created to help us to get what we needed in order to get by? Or did it create a false sense of hope to make us think that we could live above our means and get away with it.
I tell can tell you now that the debt that I have have is an official burden. I hate putting my business out there by now I'm in collections of a debt I can't afford to pay in the first place.
Can this be solved? I believe so, through a job, hard work, and prayer is a guarantee. Loans and Consolidations I feel usually add to the problem. Stop using Credit Cards and Loans to live above your means. If you don't have the money for it. Guess What??? DON'T BUY IT!!!!
I know life can get crazy sometimes, but realize that you can have fun, look good, and go places for less. It takes you out of your comfort zone, but it's time to find new adventures to your price range.
It Can Be Done!! Let's help each other fix better solutions to end DEBT once and for all. Money Management Courses, Websites, and Books. Folks like Dave Ramsey, Dorethia Conner, and many others that teach about managing your money better.
Definitely create a BUDGET! Yeah, I say it A BUDGET!! Let's be real no one likes a budget because it usually tells you the truth about how much money you really have. Scary sight to see. But in order to become and to stay debt free it must be done.

Choice
Everyone makes choices everyday. From the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. By the time you were born til now. Really, most of us had a choice by the time you left home til now. There are minor choices that we make everyday like taking a shower, brushing your teeth to choices of what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There are major choices to what college you want to attend to who you want to marry.Choices are what shapes us as human beings. Choices are a major part of our lives!
Some of us have made better choices than others, and Some of us have not made the best choices for ourselves than others. Some of us just excepted the consequences of our choices have no desire to change. Some of us have regret the choices that we've made, live with shame and condemnation don't know how to change.
Choices can stick with us for the rest of our lives, it can help and hurt ourselves. It can also help and hurt others as well. It can lead you into wherever you want to go in life. Choices are a major gift that God has given unto us. It helps us as individuals, it helps as to remain individuals.
Some choices we have regretted but we have to ability to change the choices that we have made. We can make a choice to do what's right and what's wrong. We can choose to fight or walk away!!!
We have choices from learning and growing as a human being. So try to make good choices in your life, if you've made some bad choices know that you can change, and start making good ones!!!!!It's Your Choice!!! Use It!!!!!

From My Heart!
I know I haven't written a blog in like forever and there are so many things to share. How things are right now. How my life is just so different but not different. How my nephew is growing up so fast, and how things can turn from good to bad to worse to good again. How the older you get the more concern you are for yourself and for others around you.
Life can go in ways you never expect it. You can make mistakes then learn and correct them. You can charge a situation just by doing something that you're always feared or something that was you last resulted to do, and when it's over you find out, it wasn't as bad as you expected it to be!
You can connected with people that you can learn from each day. You can take life and have fun with it or sit and regret and become bitter. Choices are the main objected with us. Goodness and Kindness is what opens doors to things that you never expected, great things. Trust me that add a whole lot of you let it.
Learning from one another can be very challenging by it can be one of the greatest experiences we could ever have. I hope someone understands this because, it's coming from the heart!! lol

The Relationship Status: Single?
Yesterday I've notice something on Facebook. I've notice that most of my single friends, including me don't have a relationship status. I guess when people are single they don't want to be bothered by other desperate and crazy singles from the opposite sex or they're dating someone but it's not exclusive yet so they'll just leave in blank because any day now they will put "in a relationship" on their relationship status. Maybe they've been single for so long that their friends and family are starting to worry about them ever getting married.
Both of my sisters are married, which is wonderful. I have to say at my younger sister's wedding, nothing insulted me be the singled one saying: When is it going to be your turn? They just said You're Next, right? Actually, that kind of meant the same thing, but I knew that it was just their way of saying, We know you can get a man, but you're not getting any younger, so hurry up! LOL
Most single women I know, including me has have the " Always a Bridesmaid never a Bride" Syndrome. There had been times were I felt like Jane Nichols in The movie "27 Dresses" Well, I never had that many dresses! I knew 5 for me was enough, I think it was 5. Anyway, of course it's not good to have that. You don't want to start getting desperate, and date Tom, Joe, and Scary!!!! Why do we pressure ourselves to have our mate at a certain age? Well, back in the day we were told to fell in love, get married and have children. When a certain age comes, we (especially women) panic and date outside our potential. In some reasons to prove to others that you can have a man or woman if you want, and right now you just chose to be single.
Of course Marriage is a Godly thing! Cut covenant with the certain individual for life!!!! Sometimes you wonder "When Will It Be My Time?" Aren't we suppose to trust God? Or Course!!!! Some people, even I have "so called" tried to help God out a little by picking one out for us. God never wants or needs our help for mate hunts, because he know want you already desire. You can pray for the arrival of your mate, but quit rushing God and yourself!!!It's the time to enjoy life. Do cool stuff!!! Learn and prepare. Make changes to grow more in yourself and in God as well.
Man, I have a whole lot of growing to do. I hope not too much though, only time and God will tell. I know their are certain reasons why we do stuff on Social-Media Networks now a days. I just wanted to let you know that it's okay to have the word "Single" in your relationship status. It doesn't mean I will have mine like that!! LOL
But Hey Enjoy Your Single Life!!!!!!

People's Opinions!!!!
At this day and age people are very quick to state their opinion, even when they are not asked to. From the time when kids can say their first word to old people on their death beds. People always want you to know what they are absolutely thinking about you and your situation. Like, comments on your social media status. They want you to know that you shouldn't be feeling that way, that you need to be more in tune with reality or God, nothing is sacred and it's never consistent, something's all your business is out on the street.
What ever happen to pulling people to the side, or emailing a suggestion. Not everyone believes in the same situations even if they are the same origin, or faith. People are different and unique in every way. People should bring back that special word that Ms. Aretha Franklin sings R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!! I barely see that now a days. All I'm saying is let's respect one another, don't be so quick to voice your opinion, especially when you don't know the whole story about things. Let other adults make their own decisions about their lives!!!! Unless they ask you your opinion. If they didn't then let them be!!!!
