On Coming to America...
When first stepping foot in America, there were so many types of emotions running through my mind. I was very happy to be reunited with our father after four years of living apart, but at the same time, my mind couldn't stop thinking about what life was going to be like.

Life Is Truly Simple
Seasons of the Navajo showcases an interview, a year in the life of Dorothy and Chauncey Neboia, an elderly Navajo couple and their extended family who live on the vast Navajo Reservation. The Navajos see life as a communal effort, being there for one another and taking care of their common goods to the best of their abilities, while utilizing the minimal resources they have at hand.

Girls' Night In
You call it "girls' night in," I call it free therapy! The few days out of our lives where us gals just kick it back with PJ's on and all the care in the world of how we look out the door. A night where picking the right outfit, putting on those high heels you've been eyeing for a while, and finishing off the look with that sexy red lipstick becomes completely irrelevant. Nights like these are for when one of your girl says, "I got some tea to spill!" earlier in the day, and so now the priority becomes looking forward to that time where you and your girls get together to spill some tea, while literally sipping on some, or, as most might prefer, while sippin' on a glass of wine.

A New Lifestyle
It's 7:10AM and I woke up about an hour ago. I watched a couple of videos on, "How to become a morning person" the night before and I was truly inspired... motivated. Mind you, I have had times like this before, where I felt that I needed a lifestyle change, where I needed to utilize my time of day doing something more productive and meaningful than sleeping in until mid-day and wasting the rest of the day accomplishing the bare minimum. But this time it was different, this time I told myself, "It's now or never Shawd! Get to it!" So I did.

Golden Heart. Unfortunate Luck.
She has tried it all. She tried being good. She tried being kind. Tried being selfless. Tried doing and being it all. Born with a big heart and a naive soul, the harder she tried to make it all happen, the emptier she felt inside. Can't blame her for being herself. Can't blame her for trying her best to remain alive. Maybe it's because she simply cared too much. Maybe it's because she was born with the urge to always get things right, with the need to keep it all together and make it all alright. Whatever the reason may be, she is the girl who was always there for everybody and everything else, while no such type of gesture was being reciprocated. She didn't care to notice that side though, merely because that routine has always been the story of her life. Always the giver, but never the receiver. As times passed, she realized that expectations are what lead to devastation. As such, the motto became, "No Expectations, No Disappoints." In actuality though, the light never seems to shine on the ones with golden hearts, the ones with genuine thoughts, and the ones with naive souls.
