Sandy and her baggage….

Hey Blog loves…

You guys know I’m in New York. This has been a trying week.

Sandy came and left her things behind.

A tree fell and knocked out 8 light poles the block behind me and put us out of electricity for 5 days. I just got back power at 6am this morning. I jumped out of bed like a child on Christmas morning. AMEN!!!!

I’ll be honest this one week taught me a lot about people and technology.

I really realized that I don’t need technology because I don’t really care to watch TV, use Instagram, or even talk/text, (Although I did upload I didn’t care to browse) but I now know that some of the people I thought would’ve been considerate enough to see if my family and I were okay, didn’t attempt.

But we Survived and I will sleep comfortably tonight.

Spoken Truth

I woke up this morning wearing my heart on my sleeve. And it’s clearly broken.

For once I don’t want to be strong. I want to let go of these emotions that I’ve been covering up behind my greatest feature, my smile (besides my hair). Well from today on I will cover my wounds and allow them to heal until they become scars.

The point of this is, we tend to care about what others think of us. Just a couple of weeks ago, my best friend and I were having a conversation about a friendship that I openly decided to continue although the circumstance of how it had temporally ended for the majority of the summer was one that would make you rethink the friendship. During our conversation, I had said to her that I had suspected that the person was raving to the world of my personal business I felt comfortable sharing with her. My best friend then asked me ” How can you be so nonchalant about her telling others your business?” My response was merely, “I rather people know the truth about me then a lie”.

No one should be afraid to be who they are and to hide from the truth. And today my truth is I am heartbroken and yes I will be in the gym in the morning and having ice cream later that night

Steel Magnolias

Encore!!!

Tonight Lifetime Network premiered “Steel Magnolias” starring and executive produced by Queen Latifah. The original Film was released in 1989 starring Sally Fields and Julia Roberts. The remake is starring Phylicia Rashad, Jill Scott, Alfre Woodard, Adepero Oduye, and Condola Rashad. I caught the movie on time, unlike the Live in Brooklyn Concert stream from last night -_- , I’m so hurt but… This was definitely a great watch. This movie is just legendary! So I couldn’t miss it for the world!

What did you think of Lifetime network’s world premiere of Steel Magnolias?
