Another Year

My goodness! 2017 is upon us and I have been slacking on this blog thing. I have good reasoning for that though. Grad school, new job, new man just new life all together has been keeping me occupied and pressed for time. This year has been a great one! I set out on a journey, finished some projects, started some others and now I am ready for the next chapter in my life.

Let us give me a hand clap for a 3.8GPA in grad school 12 credit hours down all A's..... got my mojo back.

Trip wise- I went to the Grand Canyon, took my sister on her first plane ride and locomotive ride- check us out.














I also went on my first cruise with the family- check us out- Carnival Freedom!!!












Anddd.. Chantel's got a man at home (channeling my inner 90's song list) Chante Moore.... And he's so good to me! 
That was unexpected- 

The holidays this year have been blissfully wonderful. The entire family knows who he is and he just fits. He attends church weekly with me- why? Because if it's important to me- it' s important to him (words out of his mouth) IT's right for the first time. If I get one more when ya'll getting married- I ain't gone do nothing lol.... I am just going to blush as I have been doing every other time. But for the first time I will not be alone on new year's away from my S.O or waiting on him to return from his "new years" partying, entertaining "his friends" We will be together. I am eternally grateful that God has given me the chance and the opportunity to get to know him. So my wish list/bucket list/vision board/goals for 2017 will be interesting.... let the thinking begin.

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in me an

The importance of boundaries

As I sit here in DFW international airport reading "Don't Settle For Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts, I am compelled to write on the importance of setting boundaries. Boundaries keep us safe. Safety is a primary foundational component of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Basically, we need boundaries at our core in order to survive. Relationships are one of the hardest areas of our lives to create and maintain boundaries. Why is this? Our need for acceptance tugs at our inner being to disregard the natural boundaries that our conscience created for us. Whatever it may be- friends, significant others, parents or siblings we want to be accepted. But at what cost do we pursue acceptance? As I have grown and matured in all things called life, I realized that I had created boundaries that were too loose as well as disregarded others all together. I had to realign myself to think in terms of boundaries when approaching any situation. Here are a few of the questions I asked myse
