 I was starting to feel the world in which we live in today didn't leave much room for young, confused, and panicked young women to be themselves or grow. We spend so much time trying to keep up with trends and trying to grow outwardly that inwardly we fall short. At least, I know I did. It became exhausting trying to keep up with the latest look, the latest personality trait, the latest fashion trend or worst of all...the latest EXPECTATION.  Every time I got overwhelmed, I felt like I needed a safe space. A space to let loose and even a space to conversate about my feelings, hoping that I wasn't the only one, it was hard to determine the person and the time bring it up so I didn't. I just figured it out. After I got so far into my journey of figuring "ish" out I  figured there had to be others like me so I decided to create one. I decided to create a safe space for the ones who feel like me. No expectations, no judgments, no trends. Just laughter, love, and maybe a good breakthrough here and there. While this is not the beginning of my own personal journey, I want to encourage those who are at the beginning to keep coming, keep pushing because there is an end. Here in THIS space we will grow together, we will laugh together, and we will accomplish together. Of course I have no idea where this is going and I have no idea what I am doing but....I hope this is the beginning of something great...something new...something YOU!  


So, welcome to my safe space...I hope you feel safe here too.

A lot of Easy is Still Hard!

Hey Sistas! I think I might have a good word for you today!       I was talking with an older coworker a couple of days ago and she was telling me about how her day had been so far. I could immediately see that she was quite "over it" for the day and her daily tasks at hand had gotten the best of her so I just stood and listened. After a while of her explaining, probably assuming that I was bored with her story, she stopped talking and looked at me...then she said "I guess it wasn't that hard, you know, it was just a lot to do.". Immediately assuring her that I did in fact understand her, I said "a lot of easy can still be hard...". You would think by the way she brightened that I had given her a million dollars! She had this look on her face, that I understand now, could have been gratitude. I truly believe that she was grateful to finally have someone understand her. At that moment, I was grateful too. I was grateful that som...

Five Things I Started Doing That Enhanced My Life

Welcome Sistas!! I wanna talk about Self Discovery. Read, comment below, tell me what you think, and click the links to check out some suggested help when you're done!      During my Journey of self discovery, I learned that I knew nothing about Me. This sounds CRAZY, right?! I know you are thinking, "How can she not know herself?". Well, its true, I didn't. Simple questions like, "What's your favorite food?" and "What's your favorite genre of music?" would literally have me freaking out trying to come up with an answer. I truly started to understand the phrase "just living". I was "just living" out here in these streets, lol, with no guidance. I woke up. I went to work. I came home. I went to bed. That was it.     After realizing this, I started to pay more attention to myself. I even started a note on things I would find throughout the days that made me happy. I also started to paying attention to things that I did n...
