This blog will take you on a journey through my random mind. Can you handle it?
THE MIND OF ME!
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
I'd like to take the time to introduce myself. I am really tired, but I wanted to put out this blog before I left NY. All the things that I have said I was gonna do, (minus the diet) happened, plus more. My sorors and my Aunt Andrea were so much fun to have up here. I really wish there was more to say, but nawwwww!
RIP Amy Winehouse

So recently, I was given a book to read that may have very well changed the person I am and ever hope to be...
It is a book about the journey of a young shepherd boy and through his journey to find worldly goods, he discovers the hidden treasure that life offers to all of us. It is a simple read, and it took me all of three days to finish and that is only because I read it just on the ride back and forth to work.
What this book offered me was the knowledge that all goals whether they seem impossible are within youur reach. My favorite quote from the book would have to be :
“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”
With this quote I hope everybody learns to cherish those blessings that they have been given everyday. To wake up every morning with food on your table and clothes on your back is a wonderful thing that some people do not recognize. The book wants people to focus on not only the wonders that life has already given you, but know that you are capable of more than you give yourself credit for. The book explains that everybody has a Personal Legend to fulfill. My question to you is , What is yours? And are you working diligently to get to it?
The second part of my blog I want to dedicate to this new Beyonce song that came out called "The Best Thing I Never Had"
This video, for me, calls out all the men/boys on how their behavior has led them to lose some of the best things they will never have. The older I get the more I realize that "Mama knows best" and her words of wisdom to me about men are ALL TRUTH. Ladies, if a man is not treating you right, and does not value you, let that go. He is missing out, not you.
I recently was looking at my mom's Facebook and cam across a not she had wrote called, "You Deserve The Best". I'm sure she would not mind me sharing it so here it is.
For the life of ME, I don't understand how women fall in love so easily, and without expectations! But they wonder why they are single??! It's called Self-Worth. You teach a man how to treat you. No matter what is said, if he love you, He will marry you and commit to only you. Your Gift is for your Husband! Not for the hope of a man you want to be your husband. Abstinence! I'm sure you've heard the saying, why buy the cow if you can get the milk free. I will step off my soap box now. I just see so many great women who give the best of themselves to someone who hasn't earned and/or deserve them. I pray your strength in the Lord! Keep me in your prayers as well.
I hope you all take this nugget of wisdom, and realize, like my mom tells me almost everyday, "What God has for you, he has just for you." Be the best you, you can be. It will not be you finding the man that you deserve, but the man that DESERVES you.
*That is all*
REMEMBER: "Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don't want to get hurt. Instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't so good but easy to obtain. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top because they value quality."
So I have not blogged in forever, but no need to fear, I will try and update everyone starting..............NOW!
I have a video I made about two weeks ago, that should hopefully be uploaded by today so you will get a chance see that.
More importantly: For those that read my last blog, I told you all in my top ten about Lloyd being the only person I would meet and marry in one day. Well since my last blog....
Yes, I indeed met Lloyd! Not married, but eh, who cares right?
Who wants to know the story? Of course you do: Well on my day off, I decided to go to my internship anyways. While there, it was the day his album came out so he came to the show. Clearly determined to meet him, I did. He saw me, gave me a big squeezed hug, a kiss on the cheek, grabbed my hand and said three of the most beautiful words a person could say, "How you doing" (in Wendy Williams voice). Remembering I was a professional, I just said good, or maybe just giggled. Either way, met him got a picture.BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
Also, Shcarry (Go Clu6) came up here to visit me. We went to a place called Negril Village, where it was mostly Reggae. While my body does not move very well to that music, I still had good time. We also went on a yacht, which was a lot of fun with good sights, and finally got to see the fireworks show on the 4th of July in Manhattan. What a life.

Tired of not knowing THE WOMAN IN THE CAMERA, well wonder no more. If you didn't know, blogging is no joke. It takes preparation, dedication, and most important, exfoliation. (Yes, I said exfoliation! My pores have to look nice for that camera) But I realized in all my blogging I have yet to make it personal.
So I am going to give you the top 10 things you have to know about me:
1. I stay with my hair wrapped no matter where I am at. (No shame in my game)
2. I can sometimes come off as a jerk (get with it or get lost) lol
3. My mother is what keeps me motivated on a day to day basis. (Now Annessa, it is important to.....)
4. I love going back home because I don't think I can handle life without the family.
5. In my perfect world, dudes would always act right because I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. <3
6. I screen my calls like you wouldn't believe.
7. I still watch Disney and Nickelodeon. Cartoons are amazing!
8. Lip gloss is a big part of what makes my life wonderful
9.I would meet and marry Lloyd all in one day! (Have you seen him?)
10.I'm too fly. You don't even know. ("I'm not cocky, I'm just vindicated" -Nicki Minaj)
I am highly unpredictable, and never like to do things the conventional way. Whether it be breaking out in song when I am bored, or creating mind blowing dance sequences that will knock your socks off you can never be sure what will happen.
I am on the winding path to self discovery and on the way there I would like to have as much adventure as possible.
