The Pursuit of Love, Happiness and WHATEVA else I find.....: Thank You 2016

WELCOME

Follow along as my friends and I "search" for love and happiness! I have many girlfriends spread across the country who also have friends who may have an interesting story for me to share. No worries friends and our "boos" your names are safe... I won't tell, if YOU don't tell. Look at each post not to see if you know who I am talking 'bout but instead to grow and help us grow as the wonderful women we are.

Don't ask me who I'm talkin' 'bout, 'cause I ain't tellin'! LOL

But don't forget to add your 2 cents.... I like to hear others opinions even if I dont agree.... but hey maybe you do agree....

Thank You 2016

Thank you 2016!

2016 hasn’t been as bad for me as some of you based on your Facebook post but I am appreciative of the good, the bad, and ugly. Thank you 2016 for all that you gave me.

1) Puberty

I’m finally getting my adult body which is a blessing and a curse. J It’s only 15 years late.

2) Opportunities

My cup runneth over. But like for real though. Opportunities that are mine and I can do what I want them. Make them as big or as little. Ask and ye shall receive and receive abundantly. I am beyond thankful for the opportunities/learning experiences that are making me a better person and preparing me for whatever is next in life.

3) My dying procrastination

With all my new opportunities, has come a severe illness to my art of procrastination. I can no longer put things off. When I do I get behind and end up experiencing forms of anxiety because I have a zillion things to do and no time. I now try to be a head of the game.

4) Support

I am truly thank for my “team”. It often seems extremely small but I can count on the ones there. They look out and are there when I need them. They teach routines, come through with those Beyonce tickets, turn their house in to my personal bed and breakfast, etc. I am truly winning because of them.

5) Belief in the IMPOSSIBLE

2016 showed me to believe in the impossible. Go for the job I'm not qualified for. Set goals that aren't really realistic. Hopefully someone will have faith in me.

6) Racism is still alive and well and NOW loud.

I knew racism was alive. Hell I've dealt with it recently pre-Trump era. I've had people essentially slap me in my face with their white privilege as a sat across the table fighting for something completely different than they would ever begin to understand. BUT TRUMP has shown me a completely different beast. Requiring me to be more. More strategic with my opportunities. More loud with my people. More real with my people. I have been reminded why I work in communities where people look like me. And even more in my opportunities to empower little black girls.

Thank you 2016! Because of you, I will be even better in 2017. PEACE!
