Namaste
Women in the business world are becoming more and more normal in this decade with women owning, building and running all intricate operations. Black women however, are not only rising to this new exchange of power, but they are paving ways for other black women while taking charge. There’s so much speech about black women being oppressed that their accomplishments are being shadowed and unspoken about. That is why a business about having better mental health is beneficial for all women and black women need to be included in this conversation.

3 Things Genuinely Happy People Don’t Do
Ask yourself, are you happy? Genuinely happy? If you answered no, well, why not? You are capable of experiencing a surreal type of happiness. Aren’t you? Of course, you are! Unless you have some genetic defect denying you of true happiness, then you — just like everybody else — can, in fact, be happy.

I Am My Own Inspiration
I Am My Inspiration For many years I was asked who inspired me and why. I always found that question to be challenging because no one person inspired me. I believe that my inspiration comes from my young self. I am inspired when I look at my past and how far I came. A fews years back I was a lost black girl who did not know herself. I was conflicted within after losing my father. I felt like I no longer had a home or did not belong. I spent years trying to fit in with my peers and my surroundings but I simply did not fit in. I became an outcast.

The Art of Forgiveness
The term “Forgiveness” has had a bad rep in the past as we have always applied this term to how we deal with situations involving other people. You could have learned this concept in school, in church, or even watching TV and movies. We never seem to think about how this term can liberate our souls if we apply it to ourselves and how we view the decisions we have made. Forgiveness is a complex concept and also every religion or spiritual practice has its own view on the meaning of the word and how it applies to your life. My favorite definition of the term “forgiveness” is your forgiving yourself for the role that you may have played in the situation you are in. Some of us beat ourselves up. We use vices so we can’t feel it. The source of our soul’s liberation is forgiveness of self. Forgive yourself because you were too young to understand. Forgive yourself for that abuse you allowed because you wanted someone to love you. You wanted someone to change that would not and looking back on it you feel dumb. Don’t get stuck in the cycles of self-hate because of not being able to forgive yourself. Once you can forgive yourself, it will be easier to forgive others… that’s if you would like to that is.

Black In Between The Cracks
“Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story. Keep dancing, they can’t control you. They watch and they all adore you. If ever you are in doubt, remember what Mama told you.” —Beyonce Knowles, “Brown Skin Girl” (July 2019)

the stars that lie to you
One look at me and most people will tell you I am the physical embodiment of a Sagittarius. I’m overly enthusiastic about nearly anything, I’m generally an overly positive person and of course, I have a fiery passion for life. I’m honest to a fault, impatient, and often times very tactless because of this. And having to do an essay that describes me and my obvious lack of modesty is right up my alley as well. The Sagittarius is considered the happiness sign, and because of that I can tell you, yes, in fact, I am very happy. I believe in my sign so much, that I will look up my zodiac sign and make sure the person I’m dating is good compatibility. In fact, I’ve used that line, “our zodiac signs don’t match” to not go on a date. (Feel free to use that as well.) Let’s look at a brief outline of astrology’s history.

What Do They Mean by Swallow the Frog?
We’ve all experienced it. That dread that looms over us and ruins our days. And nights. You toss and turn, thinking about that thing you have to do tomorrow. And when you finally get out of bed, things don’t get any better. Your day is ruined before you even get started.
