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...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged.  I have been extremely busy with work.  I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor.  We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work.  At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go.  The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.  Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world.  I would say that it is part of my bucket list.  I enjoyed myself.  You know I love all thing...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
