Overcoming Procrastination Habits

Overcoming Procrastination Habits

I don’t know about you but – Procrastination has always

been that ones thing that had me in its clutches – As a child

I’ve been told over and over again  “why put live it for

tomorrow what can be don today”  – why not tackle what

can be done today? – why not free up brain space? one of

the reasons people fall into to this vague belief of living

things for another day – overwhelmed with all the things

that is  asking for our time and attention we think – ah will

l’ll do this tomorrow and tomorrow  turns  into next month

then next moth turns into a year and so on. Continue reading “Overcoming Procrastination Habits”

gas prices at an all time high – don’t even get me started on the egg prices–

Understanding the true meaning of life – “self awareness”

Understanding the true meaning of life – “self awareness 

Remember when 90’s r&b was hot back I’m the day – ah the good old day’s;

those we’re the  times when  people were what seem’s the happiest and

artists took the time to create music that shed light and love.

With the world now promoting Misery and doubt – it’s no wonder the world has

become such a lonely place- or is it?

The meaning of loneliness :

“Loneliness” : some type of life transition or

lifestyle choice that reduces the number of

perceived connections with other people, both

physically and emotionally :

The question posed ; what created the “loneliness”

people are now feeling – in a would filled with social media one would think 🤔 people would be

anything but: think about it – social connection is just

a click away – with the massive upgrades of the cell phones people are staying

connected even more then before-  in my day – the only way you were able to

connected to your friends – was to go outside or have a sleep over; well that’s

if your partners were A) cool enough B) could afford such gatherings- A or B

wasn’t happening in my home due to my mom being a single parent- her mean

concern was  keeping us safe and putting food on the table; none the less I had

a great child hood – I’m proud to say.

Black history – The magic of “Afro – Hair”

I couldn’t end this month  – with out discussing the power of “Afro – hair “  for centuries  black women hair has been a hot topic, So much that in 1786, the Tignon Laws were passed in Louisiana,

requiring Black women to cover their hair

with a cloth head covering (tignon). This

law was enacted because free women of

color were wearing elaborate hairstyles;

but of corse the power of “black a women” could never be with out with out its own bones – black women started to adorn

there hared rapes with pearl, flowers and so much more bring even more Continue reading “Black history – The magic of “Afro – Hair””
