Black-n-White

I’m back… I know I have been M.I.A for about 2 weeks, I had been battling a cold that had me out for a few days. All I was eating was chicken noodle soup and lots of orange juice. I think it’s the change of the seasons that had me under the weather. I’m feeling a lot better now still have a sniffley nose but I managed to take some time out to shoot a few pictures the other day. Blogging always seems to make the day better even when battling a cold.

On the flip side of things, I picked up these killer Steve Madden booties about a week ago. I was so excited when I  received them in the mail, because I was kinda  stalking the site since their release. Don’t judge me! Their rugged, have a great platform, and lace up past the ankles. My kind of bootie. Not to mention they scream PUNK! Which is normally not my style but it’s always good to switch things up every now and then. I have some exciting news to announce in the next few days so stay tuned for what’s to come. In the meantime, in between time enjoy today’s post.  Xoxo

Honesty

Before us lie two paths- honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth;  in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money and lust. Trust rises above fame. Honesty is the best policy.

Risk Taker

What was a life lived if it was only lived in fear….

 

I recently stumbled across this quote while perusing Tumblr the other day and it immediately got my wheels turning. Whenever that happens I pick up the phone and call my bestie so we can discuss it. It’s always great to have someone you can call for anything and he is definitely that person. As we discussed what the quote meant it got us both into a deep conversation. Life is meant for risks and it’s through risks that we truly gain an understanding of who and what we are made of. Fear is the illusion that sets in our minds saying we cannot take risks, because it’s far to dangerous. By overcoming fear we can conquer our minds.  Thus capitulating ourselves into a fearless mentality. We have to conquer our minds.

I say this because there are so many things in life that you and I would love to do, that we are just too scared to do. What if I lose everything? What if I don’t have any money? What if he or she leaves me? What if… What if… What if…..? Fear of the unknown.  You and I have every tool necessary to be happy, all we have to do is find and use them. What if you lose everything? Well, that’s the joy of learning and starting over. What if you don’t have money? Well, that’s the joy of channeling your inner talents to provide a source of income. What if he or she leaves me? Well, there are 7 billion people on Earth I’m sure you will meet someone better.

A life lived in fear is really no life at all. Take risks guys and enjoy the journey along the way. I am!

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.
