  • I often have to give myself positive words of affirmation, because in my short lived life I've experienced a lot of ups and downs. These words are my allegiance to myself. I've overcome so much, and as we enter holy week and for those that are believers we will be reminded of what true strength and faith is about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Wednesday 😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WednesdayWisdom #wednesdayinspiration #beyourself #befabulous #inspirationquotes #inspiration #BeyHive⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blackbloggersunited ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BlackCreatives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BlackGirlsWhoBlog⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BlackMomsBlog⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BossMom⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BrooklynBlogger ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BrooklynMom⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #brooklynmomblogger⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #browngirlbloggers ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BrownSugarSocial ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ConfidenceIsKey⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #HustleHard ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #HolyWeek ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #momblog ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #NewBlog ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #NewBlogger ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #NYCBlogger⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #PositiveAffirmations ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #QueensSupportQueens⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blackbloggersconnect ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WorkingMomlife⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #WorkingMoms ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #YouGlowGirl

  • A special Thank You to @herlifesparkles & @honestlymommy This was a very rough week for me, and I've been very emotional. A simple interaction via DM actual helped my mindset. These two ladies are not obligated to reply to me or even try to motivate me. Thank you for your simple interaction bc it's truly appreciated. It may have seem like nothing to you, but it was exactly what was needed. May your kindness return to you in the same beautiful way it was offered. Happy Palm Sunday... and now the craziness begins, Lexi gets dedicated today. Stay blessed and busy. 😘 #actsofkindness #randomactsofkindness #Kindness #ThankYou #PalmSunday
