Challenge II

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

I feel my biggest challenge would be starting up my own business. It would be a challenge because I am new at this and still in the learning and research phase.  I have the concept, and finally decided on a name, and other things, but still have ways to go. Need to know more about the industry I am entering, as well as many other things. An overload (LOL) There are many steps and I want it done right and do not want to rush this process. A big challenge!

Another challenge is trying to write and publish more books. Being consistent with it. Telling stories people want to hear and letting my craft out to the world. Facing challenges is a part of life, sometimes, it just happens to us and we accept and deal with it. I know that it will not be easy or happen overnight. I am up for this challenge. I got it! Right?

So, that is the biggest challenge I feel I will have to face.

How do you deal with challenges?

Have a good one!

Blessings and Love

Sweet Lies

Sweet lies, like honeyed nectar

Drip from lips with practiced art

Words that wrap in silky texture

Softly soothe a troubled heart.

Tales that sing of love and passion

Whispered promises of bliss

Charms that mask a hidden fashion

Cloaked in words and sealed with kiss.

Yet beneath the sugared coating

Lies a truth that can’t be denied

For sweet lies, no matter doting

Are still illusions, meant to hide.

So take heed, dear heart, and listen

To the echoes of your soul

For in the end, it is your mission

To find the truth and make it whole.

In this world

Filled with

Sweet Lies

Blessings and Love

Personal Goal

Daily writing prompt
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

The hardest personal goal that I have set for myself is becoming an author. I have always been a writer, writing poetry and short stories, but never put my work out there. Four years ago, I made that decision. I say it is a hard goal that I set because it is not easy. It takes time, dedication, passion, and consistency. Consistency to me is the hardest trying to make sure I make time for writing, editing, and designing since I self-publish. This is a hard personal goal due to all the steps involved. I want to be a good writer, tell stories that people can relate to and ones that they will love. I love my ability to use my imagination and creativity and do so freely. Though it is a hard process I am happy that I made that decision to become an author, I love writing and getting my ideas and thoughts out. A hard personal goal that I will continue to pursue. 

Do you set personal goals for yourself? Has it been a hard process?

Always Be There!

Standing by your side

Through the highs and lows

A constant source of strength

As your story unfolds.

I’ll lend an ear to listen

And a shoulder to cry on

I’ll be there in a heartbeat

Whenever you need someone.

In times of trouble and distress

I’ll offer a helping hand

And when you’re lost and feeling down

I’ll help you understand.

For in this life, we all need someone

To be there through thick and thin

And I promise to be that person

Through every challenge we begin.

I’ll always be there

My Friend!

-Always Be There-

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💚🧡💗💜🤍❤

It Takes Two! 

When it comes to love, it takes two 

To make a bond that’s strong and true 

One cannot carry all the weight 

For love to grow two hearts must mate 

Communication is key they say 

To keep the love from fading away 

Both must listen, and both must speak 

To understand each other’s needs 

It’s not just about the happy times 

But also, the lows and the uphill climbs 

Together, they face the world ahead 

With love and trust, they’ll never dread 

A relationship needs more than just a trend 

It takes two to make it last. And with each other, it will surpass. 

Blessings and Love!

Yeah, In my head

Hello all

Sometimes having a listening ear to vent is everything. A friend who is always there

Well too bad I have neither. Well, my notebook lol

My fellow bloggers/readers yall know I am always in my feelings though it is a reason for it

Given the month it is and the month coming up. No doubt I will need the strength to make it through. Days coming up will be hard and a struggle and I am going to try my hardest to get through it. I just know emotions, memories, and everything will come back up. Missing mom and trying to keep it all together. And lonely. Feel like rainy days ahead

Tonight, I am wishing I had a friend just need someone right now I guess, and with me, that does not happen often. I usually tend to vent here and my notebook and my sister, but no one else face to face. Or I sometimes keep the worst inside and not speak a word about it.  Maybe I am a damn difficult person. Thankful for this blog and support. Just like to vent and let it out of course and wish it was more people in my life that genuinely care. Again just need a friend and a listening ear right now. Okay! Breathe… Can’t believe I am rambling on about not having friends. LOL Crazy!! Then again, it’s how I feel tonight. Have a good one.

How has the weekend been to you? Ready for the week ahead?

Blessings and Love!

Contradictions…

Have you ever been in a situation where your feelings are deep for someone, yet you cannot explain it to them. You are too much in your head and in a way, you are a walking contradiction. What do I mean? I am glad yall asked. I say walking contradiction because I want one thing but act and say another thing. 

An example, I always say that communication is key in any type of relationship, and I like open communication. I like for people to be able to come and talk to me about anything. On the other hand, I do not like to talk all the time and indeed be in my head. I shut down and do not want to talk to anyone about anything. I just cut people off until I feel like I am ready to talk to them again. That is contradiction number one. Another example is I also have a problem with accountability. I want someone to own up to the shit they have done and own up to the crazy ways they acted. I try to get them to understand the way they acted. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I said what I said, did what I did and that is that. I expect a person to deal with it. Or I try to avoid talking about it. Not with everything but from time to time I get like this. I know that it is not right. That is contradiction number two. Another one is being open minded, that is what I want from others but me, myself, is really not open minded, I try to be, but I am so closed off and sometimes I am not open to new things. Damn. Contradiction number three. Control is a big one…. I do not like people who are super controlling, yet I can be. I like to be in control over everything I do. If I am not in control I feel out of place and full of anxiety. Contradiction number four. 

I know these are not good traits I have, and I have been working on all of them!

Again, I am a walking contradiction, and I can be honest about it. Always real with myself above the rest. 

Anybody else like this? What are some contradictions you face? 

Blessings and Love
