SELF-BELIEF!
Believing in You. Staying true to you, and forging ahead on your path.
This belief can be easy to say to ourselves. Yet more of a challenge to implement in our daily journey. Especially with so many platforms on social media available to compare ourselves to constantly. As well for us to be made privy to the comparison. As well, an often harsh criticism of who we are, what we do, and our ideas.
SELF-TALK!
I know when I first started hearing that phraseology I was like….wait what!?!
It is defined as ….the act or practice of talking to oneself, either aloud or silently and mentally.
What it turns on is whether that self-talk, the talk that we say to ourselves silently - is positive, or negative.
HOW TO BE AN INTROVERTED EXTROVERT
With 2021 ending and 2022 fast approaching, it is time for everyone to do self-reflection, New Years resolutions, and looking back in the past year and different challenges and lessons learned. Going into 2022, we still see the rise of COVID-19, and another eminent lockdown, and most people are terrified about the thought of self-isolation and the loneliness that comes from it. Personally as someone who is naturally quite extroverted, I have seen the benefits of living a more introverted lifestyle and weighing the pros and cons.

NETFLIX REVIEW- #blackAF
#BlackAF has been regarded as some as a more adult and raw version of Black-ish, mainly due to the profanity, and subject matter, but it is still well written and acted. Some subjects in the show can be hard to handle due to the reality of race in America, and especially now it is a great comedic tool to help educate people on aspects of Black culture.

VACATION AT HOME
Decide on where you want to go, visualize how it would be and feel if you were there and then make it happen…at Home
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter…saying or hearing those 3 simple words conjure such an array of emotions. The sadness that it even needs to be said, wrenches my soul. The fact that society makes it clear, in every form possible, that it is a bad thing to be Black is beyond my understanding.
The Power of Communication
Communication is defined by Julia Scherta de Valenzuela,Ph.D. as “Any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about…”
