Dear Lover,

I don't know who you are and where you are right now, but I miss you. I want to laugh with you at this very moment. I want you to tell me I'm beautiful. I want to know that when you kiss my forehead I'll feel it. I want to smile because you are just that amazing. I want to pray with you and share things I'd share with my best friend. I want you to become that friend. I want to make you laugh in ways that you've never laughed before. I want to grow with you. I want to know that you are mine. I want to dive into your arms and hear you tell me everything is okay. I want to hear about how your day was. I want to give you massages after I know you've had a long day at work. I want to cook you your favorite dinner. I want to sit next you and watch a love story. I want to love you and create a story. I want to visit museums with you and talk art. I want to pray with you and talk God. I want to take walks with you in the park. I want to hold your hand, knowing that you have no intentions of letting go. I want to dance with you in the rain, flaws and all. I want to know that you are near. I am hoping that you too feel the same way. I love you from a distance because I know we are walking on our journeys to each other. Though, sometimes I wished we were running, because sometimes I feel like the time isn't on my side. But I know your almost hear, the whisper that your near. Dear lover, I know your there.

Promise to myself!!

I had heard of promise rings that people buy for themselves or their loved ones bought for them but never have I went out on a limb to buy myself one. This changed when I came across a ring and it literally spoke to my heart. I am not really the type of person that shops all the time and loves everything I come across, so I knew that making this purchase was in my purpose. It was something that God and myself wanted for me.

I am going to tell you all how I knew it was apart of my path to get this ring. I had just saw in my notifications on Instagram, that a profile had liked one of my pictures. I took the time to check them out, which I usually don't do as often and the first thing that I saw was the ring pictured below. Right then and there I knew that that ring was meant for me to make a promise to myself.

I was not sure which had to put it on because I mean I wouldn't want an eligible King to think I am not an eligible Queen. Then, again I felt as if placing it on my actual ring finger would really make it a deeper promise. I think the placement of the ring also had to do with the ring I had on my middle finger since like forever. I finally ended up with the ring on my right hand ring finger, and I just took off the middle finger ring and placed it on my chain. It took meant a lot to me so I couldn't just toss it to the side.

My promise it to honor myself as a Queen, to ALWAYS love me first and to remind me that I deserve nothing but a King. I will follow my dreams to becoming successful, and remind all other Queens that they are indeed one. This is to growth, love, happiness, abundance and good fortune.

Vegetarian Update

Now that I've been on this Vegetarian thing for quite a while I've been testing out my luck with numerous Boca and Morning Star products.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about I'll fill you in. Both of these brands produce Vegetarian products that are alternatives to meat items.

Since being on my journey I have tried two of many products Boca chipotle black bean burgers & morning star chicken strips.

My take exactly Yay for the bean burgers and heck no for those chicken strips. The bean burgers were super tasty and filled with lots of flavor; definite plus in my book. The chicken strips ahhh not so much. I'm thinking this particular consistency is just not one I particularly am found of and have to say I pass.

But I am really came to tell you all the wonderful yummies I discovered yesterday. Well I just tell you about one of them.

I found these awesome chikn nuggets and they were pretty darn good. They tasted just like chicken nuggets only thing is they had a sweet taste to them. I was cool with it, hey I can't expect it to be exactly like chicken nuggets.

I never believe these things are actually not meat!! So I have to look at the ingredients like a million times. Haha

Oh and I topped it off with the Annie's Organic Macaroni !! The artistic side of me wanted bunnies..don't judge lol.

Home for the Holidays

I always have this vision of what my future home will look like and I love sharing it with you all. Don't worry I am currently addicted to HGTV so no need to worry about that. Haha. Being that it is the holidays, and I finally have time to sit down and think about things other than getting through the semester(by the way I am half way through my college career...AMEN), I was just thinking about how amazing I think real trees are and how damn good they smell. The thought then pops into my head...

My future home, with a huge real tree. The aroma of the mixture of the pine and delicious foods flowing throughout the house, as my husband, children, and I sit sipping hot cocoa in front of the fireplace, awaiting Santa's arrival. Yea, I got this all planned. Check out my vision below...Enjoy!

Am I the only one that fell in love with this setup? 

I can truly see it now, on like house hunters or something and giving a list of all my necessities for my future home. Hope that you all enjoy your holidays.

Hot Body

So I recently signed up for Bikram Yoga...It was pretty nerve wrecking to actually go ahead and take the class but I knew it was something I had to try out ("Try something you fear" kept running through my head). So I got to it and tried it out. Most yoga spots have a new member fee where you can get some added bonus, so I opted for the new member unlimited for a week. It felt pretty good to be prepared on my first day.

Now the actual session!! I went into the heated room and was like damn WTF did I sign myself up for. HAHA; but I went back in and waited for the instructor to enter. It was a really small class of myself and 4 others, which I loved. The instructor was really nice and he was a big help during my time there. Once we got started the sweat started rolling, I was feeling the burn. It was really good to know that I was able to remain in the room and I did my best. Though, I felt a bit dizzy at times, sort of like I was going to pass out, or just not able to do a position, I rode out like a champ.

When I left I was like to hell with that this is too much, then the little voice in my head began to speak "If you don't come back you would have wasted your money, and you'd be a quitter". I just couldn't do that could I. A day later and a body well aching I will be heading back tomorrow for sure. Have to get my moneys worth right.


Will definitely keep you updated on my Bikram classes until the membership runs out...

Have you done Yoga before?

Have you tried Bikram Yoga before?

How was it for you? 

I would love to hear your experiences...

Just sit

As I learn more and more about the traditional methods of meditation I understand more of the concept of just sitting. It has caused me to be a lot more mindful in most of what I do. Though, I have not mastered the art of just sitting I can say I am much closer to becoming more at peace; to becoming the Queen I am.

While on a visit to the Target First Saturdays at Brooklyn Museum yesterday, I came across these pieces and I had to share with you all. I immediately fell in love.

The way art speaks to me and says so many things is just amazing. I have been thinking I need to find a way to get some kind of museum membership. Hmmmm, maybe.

As well I would like to invite you to become one with yourself and follow the methods of just sitting. How you may ask... Find a quiet place, a pillow and just sit. Focus on your breath and each part of your body. Try your best to not let wandering thoughts enter, though if they should, do not reject them. Allow them to come, acknowledge it is there, and continue focusing on your breathing. The thoughts will then go away on their own.

Become Mindful!

Have you meditated?

Will you practice just sitting?

Journey Update

It has been a journey indeed, though I can not and will not stop here, neither did I stop there. I have been feeling the ups and downs but the downs have helped me to think about how far I've come.

I have decided to keep faith and pray on what I am feeling no matter what it is. It has helped me to feel motivated that my journey is coming along and I will reach each milestone with greatness.

As well I took time meditate on what has come up on my journey. It was totally amazing. Oh and I got me some Yogi tea, since I've become addicted to tea. I am sharing with you a small token of love.
