Three Little Birds.

Rise up this morning... Smile with the rising sun. Three little birds pitch by my door step singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true... Saying this is my message to you: Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing gonna be alright. -Bob Marley

FOUR WOMEN

BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE FROM BLACK GIRLS ROCK... I'M SURE NINA SIMONE WOULD BE PROUD! marsha ambrosious, kelly price, jill scott, and ledisi performing 4 Women

A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent... -Maya Angelou

FOR COLORED GIRLS... the movie i cant wait to see

:TOP TEN FALL TRENDS:

*drumroll?*

1.NEUTRALS after a bright season, it's time to tone it down.. camel, olives, browns...

2.LONG SKIRTS i personally think these look better on a woman with more of a curvy figure- or maybe i just haven't found the right fit...

3.KNEE-HIGH BOOTS been a fan since pretty woman...an over the knee boot is FEIRCE ;)

4.MENS WEAR blazers, double breasted suits, basic white top.. BOLD jewelry #POW

5.LACE im a fan of lace all year round..especially black ;)

6.HATS EH.... im over the hats.

7.ANIMAL PRINT Grrr. period.

8.VESTS (my personal fave) monochromatic, fur, knit, long, short, whatever u prefer. (secret:vests are super slimming..)

9.FUR ok but like, can u not be tacky with it (Express has some hot fur pieces by the way at an affordable price)

10.BELTED ENSEMBLES.. you been on it. nothing new.

24

WOW. I have not blogged in a long time...

This year has been a rollercoaster... I don't like rollercoasters. lol. I have gone from one of the happiest times in my life, to one of the hardest, and now I have come to a very pivotal moment. Everything is beginning to come full circle. At age 24, I've learned myself... I've FOUND myself... and now that I've found myself I'm gone off myself. -as humbly as possible, dont take it the wrong way. God is opening so many doors for me. He only did it, however, when I stopped trying to make my own plans. I mean I thought I controlled my destiny... Jeremiah 29:11.. It took me completely surrendering EVERYTHING to hear what He was saying clearly. God's telling me HE has plans for me- STOP TRYING TO MAKE YOUR OWN. Everything I was trying to do was literally just falling apart at one point. I wasn't focused-although I thought I was, I wasn't in position, I wasn't listening. I really had to check myself... It's a process.. and I'm still not finished, but God has brought me so far even in a matter of weeks. Literally. It's funny to me that we blame so much on the devil. Half the stuff I dealt with was self-inflicted pain! Sometimes you just have to be still... SHUT UP...and listen. Yall can't both talk at the same time. :)
