Assimilation into Society


Good Morning and Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.,

One of my favorite pastimes is reading other people’s blogs and getting some inspirations by them.  Some say that most of the blogs talk about the same things such as fashion, travel, food, music, and etc.  Why do we need so many blogs talking about the same things?  Everyone has a perspective on the common themes popularized on blogs today.  My pastor talked about tithing yesterday and how all things belong to the Creator and the Creator needs 10% of everything we have.    What stuck out is that we are a society that is based on individual wants which results in selfishness.  For example, when some women see a good looking woman or a woman that is perceived to be that way (i.e. celebrities, socialites, and etc.); they find a way to tear that woman down to satisfy their needs to be considered beautiful.  When the Creator made us, there wasn’t a one size fits all.  The Creator made all things in the likeness of Him which is multifaceted, beautiful, and beyond our comprehension.  There is enough beauty to go around from everyone.  Beauty comes from the Creator and it doesn’t belong just to the “it girl” of the week or the “most beautiful person of the year."
We are in a society that attempts to assimilate the individual into something or somethings that the individual will never naturally be able to do.  People starving themselves to be a size that they are naturally not, women straightening their hair and not realizing that the hair is being forced to do something that it doesn’t do and enlarging chests, lips, butts, cheeks, and pectorials, to look like people who force their bodies to do the same.   In my opinion, assimilation is a form of groupthink.  Being controlled by people who travel in packs and who force their beliefs of what is beautiful and what is not beautiful on the individual.

Blessings!!!!!!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...
