Joys of Valentines Day

Being single with Valentine's Day on the horizon sucks right? Well not for me, I am refocusing my energies into positive vibes for others. So No, I will not receive a new outfit, shoes, chocolates or even flowers this year- maybe if my daddy decides I still need validation from him- He always buys me valentines gifts *Daddy's Girl* but I don't think he counts anymore at 26 :-)

So no guy and no gifts for me but I will be throwing a Valentine's Bash for the kids.

Neka Luv the Kids.

I decided that I would focus all my creative juices and some funds into making their Valentine's Day fun. I wish some grown up would have thrown us a Valentine's Bash- like how fun is that- not worried about a play gf/bf  just going to have fun with friends on the day my parents were probably creating my siblings lol- One was born beginning of  November--- Calculating?

A cookie bar, mocktails, music, DIY photo booth and food! I think I will have more fun than the kids lol. Pictures will be up I say the first week of March- I am a procrastinator with the pics lol.

But I want to encourage anyone out there who may be depressed or saddened by the fact that they are single yet another Valentine's Day- be of good courage and go do something for someone else. When you are giving to others, you seem to forget about your own issues. There is this thing they say at church when it comes to what you receive. If you pour into others God will continue to pour into you. Give and you shall receive.

So no pity parties this year, man bashing sessions or unlimited netflix/hulu sessions.

So some ideas of good things to do for others this valentines day.

1. Make  Valentines Themed Blessings bags for the homeless and be sure to include a Valentines card.
2. Visit a nursing home/rehabilitation center and hand out valentines cards and play some games with them.
3. Valentine's Caroling? Some of your fav love songs and sing them to total strangers lol something my brothers and I do.... its called RANDOM SINGING - inspired by our iCarly days (inside thing)
4.Throw a party for your single pals- maybe someone will meet someone- grow some love


Just a few things I wanted to throw out there. But feel free to share other ideas if you have some. Of course I am going to leave you with some encouraging words.... Go out, have fun and remember that closed hands cannot give or receive anything.

Happy Valentines Day! May love abound!

Taking Opportunities: It Takes A Man, Male Initiative Program, Inc.

This weekend I had the joy and honor of hosting the Launch Party for "ITM" Dallas. This initiative is a mentoring program geared towards young minority males to provide them with an outlet to be themselves and find their purpose in life. This program is not like others where I call you 1x week and maybe show up to a few games. It is about giving and receiving what you need to succeed.  The premise of the program is to not only mentor young men but for those same young men to then become mentors for a lifetime. The level of accountability is unsurpassed. As a mentee- I can mess up and maybe slack on my goals a little because someone (my mentor) is there to guide me, but once I become a mentor- someone else is now depending on me to be their guide and I now have a true empathy and understanding for their plight as a mentee- because I was there. It is genius. Consistency is the goal and we are committed to changing the world- 1 life at a time. Successful launch party on 10...

What are REFINED CARBS-?

REFINED CARBOHYDRATES AND PURIFIED SUGARS found this on the internet- at diagnosisdiet.com What are Refined Carbohydrates? It is actually easier to define which carbohydrates are NOT refined, because the term “refined” is very confusing. ALL sugars and starches, EXCEPT those that come in the form of a natural whole food like a piece of fruit, a Lima bean, or a sweet potato, are considered refined carbohydrates. If you are looking at a sweet or starchy whole food that you could come across exactly as is in nature, you are looking at an UNrefined carbohydrate. Refined carbohydrates are forms of sugars and starches that don’t exist in nature. They do come from natural whole foods, but they have been altered in some way by processing to “refine” them. Processing methods include industrial extraction, concentration, purification, and enzymatic transformation. It’s easy for most of us to identify sugars, because they taste sweet and usually come in the form of crystals, s...
