Forever an eagle

AIB college of business was more than a school for me. It was a place where I could explore opportunity and escape the adversity and the hardships that struck the area of Detroit that I grew up in. It became a place where I made friends that eventually turned into my second family , I became engulfed in so many opportunities to explore and enjoy. I've had the pleasure of participating in athletics and concluding my basketball career here . I also have found the perfect job that will allow me to explore the possibilities and growth within a well known company . As the final days of this school are drawing near I want to take the time to remember all of the fond memories that I will cherish for a lifetime 

Reasons Why being Single is not such a Bad thing

Okay at the age of 21 now, I notice that many of my friends are in relationships, married, have children, all that good jazz. It sounds so wonderful that some of them have fallen for their high school sweethearts and have just been fortunate enough to find someone to ride or die for them. Then there are those like me, who are just about finished with college, who are working constantly, and are trying to find that time for a little relaxation. All of that on top of wrapping up what's left of my Undergraduate degree can create a serious overload in my schedule. That overload kind of prevents me from being able to have a relationship right at this very moment. In fact, I am so busy trying to build a solid foundation for my future that I have a serious difficulty with finding someone who can truly understand recognize how passionate of a woman I am and that I am becoming. So in the mean time I have created a list that can be changed or even add to, of ways to eliminate the feeling of Loneliness and also ways to occupy your single life while also making it enjoyable.

1. Binge watch your favorite movies and order some pizza and buy a few drinks and just relax. (YOU DESERVE IT)
2. Use this time to hang out with friends and Family!
3. Catch up on your favorite television shows.
4. Go for a walk in the park
5. Spend quality time with your loved ones (FAMILY AND FRIENDS)
6. Read a BOOK ( or Kindle for you high tech folks)
7. Take a long hot shower or soothing bubble bath.
8. Work out
9. When you sleep at night STRETCH COMPLETELY OUT take over the whole bed!! (hey once your in a serious relationship you no longer have that freedom)
10. Go to Church or at least read and maybe reread your BIBLE! (learn something)
11. Go to a SPA  (PAMPERED PRINCESS)
12. Try a New Sport
13. Go on a solo trip to a destination of your choice.
14. ENJOY your life while you are young


I cannot stress number 14 enough, that is the most important. If you do not enjoy your own company, how in the world do you expect someone else to. And above all learn to truly love yourself. All of these things and more can help you do just that. By find the time to have quality ME-time you can truly embrace just how wonderful and unique you are. And maybe one day you will be able to join the group of friends .

Inhale

Everything you are doing right now, He sees it. 

Your Reward is coming soon. All you need to do is be patient

Let HIM take the wheel. All of the hard work will pay off
The reward will be great

Culture Speaks for itself

It surprises me how concerned musicians have suddenly became aware of cultural appropriation. It is a fact that music changed immensely once Africans were brought to the United States during the dark period in our history. We were  the center piece for the introduction of several popular genre's of music: RnB, Hip Hop, Rock n' Roll, Pop, Blues, Gospel, Techno, Reggae,and many more. SO it is true to think that our influences would have an impact on the music world today and on other cultures.

Loving yourself

What's wrong with remembering what makes you smile?
What's wrong with having your expectations win the clouds?
What's wrong with having your standards unreachable for the average person?
What's wrong with putting yourself on a pedestal and wearing your crown with your head held high?
I see no problem with being proud of I have accomplished and will do.
I see no issue with keeping my worth and value relatively high.
It helps me to remember that I am just as important as the next person.

At this Age

I have seen and been through enough to write a series as long as the Harry Potter series, maybe even longer. Each book will be about different phases that I am going through in my life. I feel almost as if I were in limbo. Stuck in between wanting to be prideful and wanting to break down and just cry. How tempting is it to want to float back into the past when you have mentally prepared yourself for the future. You see yourself living comfortably, happy, and complete, but then you wonder just how you are supposed to get to that part. What road do I take? and how do I know if my destiny is set and stone

Satan is Satan

So the unveiling for the 9-foot statue in Detroit has happened over the weekend and I am completely lost with the explanations these believers and followers have for the reason the statue is okay to be out in the public eye.

They say that they do not worship the "Satan" that is thought of to be evil or related to the antagonist of Christ. However, my question is this even a rational statement. There is only one SATAN, he corresponds to another name that the Devil is referred to as . When a person considers the devil or Satan, they think of evil and temptations.

I understand that because of our constitution they have the right to place their "harmless" statue anywhere they please. but my question is where did the approval from this statue come from?
