Ella Fitzgerald | Lady Be Good, 1957
So as the day approaches to chop my locks I find myself thinking about it more and getting kind of excited! I mean, I’ve cut my hair before but now I have a stylist that is big time wonderful. She always hooks me up so I think I’m gonna go pretty short.
It’ll be just in time for Saturday night. Which actually turned out to be something else. Actually gonna go with a guy. Ooohh I know I know but as each day passes my resentment goes away and I realize it wasn’t worth losing something over. My main goal is to move forward and not make the same mistakes over. I’m in a good place right now.
You’re gonna laugh when I tell you how old he is, but I’ll just leave it alone! lol “I like older women,” he says. I hummed, “Oh yea?” And a new opportunity was born! I’m just looking to have fun with someone new and enjoy life. I think dating younger may just be the best for me because they focus on the enjoyment of being in your presence vs. wanting to snatch you up and lock you down because the know they want to get married soon but, “Just not right now.” Lol But anyway we’ll see what happens, He’s a gentleman and a cutie so I’m ok with that. Yea hea. I think my lady crew has taken the same stance in terms of just having fun minus the other stuff. All of us are pretty much…chillin.
As for lil hottie, I promise I’ll be good.

My girly Ray sent me something today and I have to jump on the train and post it too. When I read this I was like see…these are people that walk around us every single day. They smile in your face while they are thinking something totally different about you. I’ve seen it trust! What sucks is that this person is someone I’ve done freelance work for in the past. She is a gorgeous woman which confuses me as to why the hell she would say this? *shaking head* I am utterly speechless. I most certainly had to post this. (thx Ray)

I read this and my jaw dropped.
There’s way too much to go over here, and so little time.
How is being proud about your heritage reverse racism? Saying ‘Black Girls Rule’ does not equal ‘Other Girls S**k.’ And anyway, it seems like every issue of almost every fashion publication out right now tends to have a subliminal ‘White Girls Rule’ message.
The Obama reference???? What kind of ignorant stuff is this?
Please feel free to post your opinions. I wanna hear feedback from EVERYBODY. Call me, text me, email, post a comment. Right now I’m exhausted. I’m not doing this blog justice by keeping it short, but I have to put it out there, like tonight.
All in agreement, say Ay……..

Every (whatever you are) Girl In Your City PLEASE stand up.

{You’re Not Ready | But Click It Anyway}
I just left Sasha’s house. Took some time off of work to take care of some things…Sasha was already downtown so we hooked up for a second. It was really hot today and I wonder how the summers will be like 20 years from now. I just wanna be able to go to the park and sit on a blanket without feeling like I’m in a baking dish! Sweating is so not cute on an easy breezy day…well in most cases lol. Speaking of summer, this summer was a CRAZZZZZYYYY ONNEEE! Sasha and I were laughing about it in the car as we oogled a cop directing traffic. It had definitely been a summer to remember. The good, the bad and the beautifullyphukedup, I watched each of my friends grow into their dreams and others discover their lifelong purpose. I loved it all. I kinda feel like I was put on some kind of accelerated learning program in the school of life because I learned a gang o’ shyt! In fact, I think everyone around me did. Some conceived, some lost and some (most recently) birthed new life. 
Personal and family relationships are mending, some are just beginning. I’ve seen Marriages…divorces…homelessness….victories…breakthroughs..relocations…life altering events and the birth of so many things new. When I said that this would be a year of change I had no effin IDEA! I lost some friends and gained a few old ones back, but the best part of all, I learned the importance of loving without fear. For once in my life I took a chance and gambled what I thought was my last. Yea, I fell on my ass hard a few times, but I would never regret a single day or a single tear. When I thought about it though, I felt like I had lost my last when in actuality I had gained so much more. I’m thankful for that. And at the end of it all, if I’m ever asked if I’ve experienced love I can say, “Yes,” and when they ask, “What did you love?” I can smile and proudly say…EVERYTHING.
