This meme pretty much sums up my thoughts this morning!! 😊😊😊 Happy Monday Folks! Here’s to a blessed & productive week!

Phew it’s been such a long time since I’ve posted and I apologize for that. Today I felt like blessing my page with an entry so here goes. ☺

First and foremost, Happy New Year to each and every one of you. I hope your year has started off on the right foot! ☺

Recently I read a conversation on Facebook that made me think about the importance of the conversation. As many of you may or may not know I am Haitian American. And I am a proud Haitian American. Many things have changed in the last couple of months in regards to Haitian immigrants so you can imagine how many felt when they heard about the President’s comments (if you haven’t heard about it just google it). Some may not understand how hurtful it is to hear the President of the country at which you reside degrade and disrespect your people. Especially since you know the history of these people and how much they fought for our freedom and independence! But the conversation started because a young lady asked why some rallied together to protest recent decisions in addition to what the President said. Her argument was that protesting does nothing and it’s a waste of time. Another young lady responded that protesting is a way to show our reaction to the President’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants and to address his derogatory comments. Needless to say the conversation went back and forth with each of their views.

Let’s be honest, protesting isn’t for everyone. And not everyone will see the value in doing it. However, I see the importance in the act of protest. We protest to show that we won’t stand for certain injustices. We protest to bring awareness. We protest to show how strong we are as a people and to show that many have like-minded views/opinions. The only caveat I’d like to add is that your views shouldn’t only end with protest, it also requires action. What do you do after you stand up for that cause? You fight. Whether its  writing letters, supporting an organization financially, or educating others on the importance of the cause. What ever it is do it in addition to your protest. In my opinion, words without action is pointless!

Have you ever protested for a cause? I have and will continue to do so. I want to know that I stood for a cause and that my opinions are known and may potentially be heard. If you believe in something, stand for it! Don’t let the opinions of others deter you from making a stance for what you believe!

Locs, Love, Life!

Happy New Year my good people. I’m ashamed that it has taken me this long to say this to you all but hey better late than never. 😊

The saying “If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans!” is spot on. We make plans for ourselves and then get disappointed when things don’t go our way. You ever wonder why? My guess is that they weren’t your plans to make in the first place. I can say I’m guilty of this. Planning this, planning that but rarely ever asking the man upstairs to plan it for me. So one of my new things this year is to truly “Let Go and Let God!” Maybe then I won’t set myself up for huge disappointments. Cause at the end of the day his plans will always be greater and better than my own. 😊

Hey guys!!! I know…you guys are probably like “Dang where the heck she been?!” Lol. Well I’m here and very much alive. What’s new with you all? Did you have a great holiday season? I sure did and am very much relaxed after a 10 day vacation in FL.

So we are only a day away from the New Year! Are you guys just as excited as I am? It’s something about something new that makes you want to smile and look forward to the possibilities of that new thing. A New Year for me allows me to reflect on the goods and the bads of the previous year. Allows me to reminisce and smile. Allows me to evaluate and adjust. What about you…what does a New Year signify for you?

I don’t make goals for my New Years anymore because honestly I never really achieve them. However I do consciously  strive to be a better person overall. Whether its saving a little more, being slow to anger, or showing more compassion. Just little things I typically don’t do. Lord knows I’m not perfect but I’m definitely a work in progress! 🙂

Any who I just really wanted to check in with you all. To let you all know I’m still here! Whatever you decide to do, enjoy your New Years! We will chat again in the near future!

Locs, Love, Life
