B-Boy Stance

As I began posting these photos today Cassidy’s old song ‘B-Boy Stance’ immediately came to mind. “Chillan in the club in my b-boy stance…. lol lol “ Isn’t this throwback Jordan jersey everything? I wanted to switch the vibe up a little so I threw on some J’s and a snapback and called it a day. Seriously this is probably the most comfortable outfit I have ever blogged in. Shoootttt…. I could get used to this. Maybe not… but for now it’s a nice little twist.

When It's Real



Hey guys I’m back…. And I absolutely enjoyed my Thanksgiving break it’s always so awesome spending time with family and friends, eating delicious food and sharing laughs with the people you love. Only bad thing is I didn’t step foot in the gym. Honestly, the gym didn’t even cross my mind lol I just wanted to spend as much time as I could with my nephews, little sister and my family.  While chatting sipping tea late at night with my fam the topic of love and relationships surfaced. How things are so different from how they used to be back in the day. It definitely got my wheels turning. Why is it that when we see old couples like my grandparents who have been together 40+ years, we aspire to have a relationship just like theirs we say something along the lines of  “o that’s real” or “they been through it all”. Why is this generation so different? You see more fakeness than real and it’s to the put where you can’t tell the real from the fake. So……. I came across this quote which breaks it all down for us by Trent Shelton (one of my fav inspirationalist). When it’s real and that guy/girl is really down for you, you will know it. Those are the relationships that last 40+ years. Enjoy

When it Real…..

You don’t just get a promise you get a commitment. You don’t just get a body to lay down with you get a heart that actually loves you, to wake up to. You don’t just get a partner you get a soul mate. Their actions follow thru with what they say they are going to do. They deliver on being the person what you need them to be. They don’t keep secrets from you. They don’t let people disrespect you or your relationship. They don’t stay cool with the people you have a problem with. When it’s real you don’t just get honesty…you get loyalty. Being honest doesn’t make them faithful….. loyalty does. Honesty doesn’t make them a good person it just doesn’t make them a liar. A loyal heart will never put itself in a position to have to tell the truth about living a lie. Don’t get me wrong, honesty will always be respected, but only through loyalty can someone be trusted. It’s great to be honest because you feel guilty but what’s even better is to not do something to make you feel guilty in the first place.

A heart that loves you doesn’t want to feed your insecurities, they want to stave them, they don’t want to put you in a position for you to question their commitment. When it’s real they don’t just communicate with you, they connect with you. They don’t just tell you that you’re special they actually make you feel it. They don’t just tell you what yall have is forever, they actually believe it. They have unsolicited appreciation, unguarded openness, an emotional bond with your heart that let’s you know that the love they have for you is real and not fake.

You know it real……

When you don’t have to question it, because they have given you no reason to doubt it, but it all starts with you. Protect your heart, know your worth.

Red Between The Lines

An honest enemy is always better than a friend who lies. Pay less attention to what people say and more attention to what they do. Their actions will always show the real truth.

Put A Lid On It Kid

Before befriending others, you have to be your own best friend. Before correcting others, you have to correct yourself. Before making others happy you have to make yourself happy. It’s not called being selfish it’s personal development. Once you can learn to balance yourself, only then can you balance someone else.

Jersey Sleek

Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey to travel.



With A Splash of Yellow

Wait for the man that will put in the time, heart, and effort to pursue you. Wait for God to set you up with the one who will put in time to win your heart. How can He do that if you’re throwing it at him? Be secure enough in yourself and your Heavenly Father that you don’t need to throw your heart around and give it away to any man who winks at you. Be a woman, secure in God, deadly to the devil, feminine in strength, purity and tenderness. Give him the chance to be a man. Position yourself as a woman satisfied in herself and her life. Give yourself to know God more than knowing that man. Give yourself to loving others and he will come alongside of you. You will never have to strive to make him like you, to make him talk to you, and to treat you how you deserve to be treated. He will already be a man in pursuit of your heart without your help but God’s.

Black White and Red All Over

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself.

Pinstripes Are Just Right

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
