Hey guys! Taking a short break from YouTube and blogging for a little while. Watch the vid to find out why. See you soon!
Let Go and Let God Part II
OK. So remember how I was telling you to let go and let God? Well the Lord put this on my heart today for some reason. In life we ALL go through trials and tribulations. We make decisions...some good and some bad. At times it seems like we may not make it through the obstacles put in front of us, but somehow we pull through. Have you ever been so tired, cried out, and hopeless that you just had to let go? That's the point many people get to. But you can do more than just let go. You can let go and let God handle all the stress, all the worries, all the trials you are going through. My life and the lives of many others is a testimony that when you let go and let God handle it, he will see you through and bring you out of it better than you started. Just trust him...and see what happens! Determine in your heart that you will no longer fight a battle that you cannot win. Leave it up to someone who can handle any and everything...
I couldn't seem to fall asleep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I knealed down to pray
Praying help me please
Then He said you don't have to cry
Cause I'll supply all your needs
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dewayne_woods/let_go.html ]
As sooon as I stop worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (When I let go)
I let go (And I let) and I let God (let Him have)
(Let Him Have) Let God have His way
(That's when things) That's when things start happening
I'll stop looking at back then
I let go and I'll let God have His way
There so much going on
Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I to put it in His hands
That everything will be alright
New Fashion & Accessories for Spring
So I'm totally "springing" into fashion. Corny but true. I'm more into fashion than I have ever been, and that includes this spring's bright color trend. I've been in dyer need of some new clothing for both spring and summer and I found some AmAzE deals! Watch the vid below to check out what I got;)Just a Little Quote;)
It's 3AM and I'm sipping a hot cup of tea and playing on the computer like I don't have work tomorrow. Somehow the wee hours of night (or morning) are when I get my deepest and most creative thoughts. Anyway I stumbled upon this quote. I love these words because they are so real and raw. In life we tend to create a plan for ourselves. At least I do. Everything is planned out. We set the pace for our lives without regard to what will happen if it doesn't go as planned. Are you prepared for plan B? And just when we think that plan A was the best thing that could happen to us, plan B could be greater than ever imagined. Hmmmm....
Does Wanting a Successful Man Make You a Gold Digger?
Ah, the age old question- To be a gold digger or not to be a gold digger. Thank you Kanye West for helping us weed out the masses. But seriously. What constitutes a gold digger?
I recently spoke with a friend who was conflicted about her own beliefs regarding this topic. She dates a "successful" man and receives flack from her friends who label her as a gold digger. She showed interest in him prior to knowledge of his assets, yet is still perceived as a "gold digger" by others.
This made me think about my own beliefs and what I value in a relationship. Typical of most women I want a man who can provide for me and is successful at whatever he does. Does this make me a gold digger?
There is so much area shaded grey when it comes to this subject. If a woman posseses the wealth and sucess she desires in a mate, it makes her choosy. But if that same woman without those traits desires similar, she's digging for gold?

| No skills 2 pay the bills |
In my opinion, a smart woman first builds her own assets and success and then aims to mirror and/or supersede her achievements in her counterpart. Depending on a man for everything is not a good look. It is my belief however, that the man should be the provider. If I make $150,000 a year and my husband makes half, how can he provide for me?
Yall can call me a gold digger any day, but let's be honest. Love doesn't pay the bills. Finance is the #1 reason for divorce in America. So why add fuel to the fire? Putting yourself in a situation to financially struggle only sets you up for more problems down the line. So why not guard against it the best you can by pairing yourself with someone who is not only financially sound but also smart with their money?
I once heard someone say that it is fun to struggle and be in love. Come again? The idea may be cute, but no one wants to live a life of poverty. That may be extreme, but the idea still stands. Love + Broke = may not be enough.

| Gold Digger? |
I hate to rain on some people's proverbial parade, but sometimes love isn't always enough. There's an element of functionality devoid of love that is necessary to make a relationship work. While cliche, but true- Love doesn't pay the bills honey. It doesn't pay off your student loans, put food on the table, or pay little Johnny's college tuition. There are situations only hard work and a solid savings account can tackle.
Now don't get me wrong. There are so many people who overlook potential in a future suitor. You may be broke, but why? Are you in medical school? Are you creating a business plan? Are you conducting research on the next big cure? These are not reasons to dis and dismiss. Beside every good man is a good woman! I do think however, long term commitment, i.e. marriage should be reserved for when at least one party is financially stable.
And amidst all this gold digging gander let's not forget that happiness is most important. I don't however, see this as a contradiction to my previous statements. Because when your love and finances are in order, happiness is in closer reach. Money and power come and go, but unconditional, unadulterated, pure love is the most valuable thing in the world.
So enough of that. What really is a gold digger? Is it someone who only dates wealthy men? Or is it someone who gives up the goods for the gold? Maybe it's someone who wants their man to drive a BMW. Or maybe it's someone who is smart about the stability of their financial future. Should a woman feel guilty for choosing to date a man with money? What do you think?
