GUYS, THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

"Why don't y'all come on over for Thanksgiving?" The answer is probably no or we will see. Guys, brace yourselves, the holiday season is upon us again. I know, I know, you probably think it`s a little early to be talking about Thanksgiving. We haven't even gotten past Halloween yet, but this is the time I look forward to the most. I get to be around family, friends and most importantly, I get to eat! It`s the one day of the year when you don't have to feel bad for digging in. Yes, I know the history behind this day, but to me, it means spending time with loved ones and reflecting on all of the things I have to be thankful for. Besides, I`m not super creative when it comes to Halloween costumes. I`d probably just wear my panties and bra and call myself a Victoria Secret angel like I see the other girls do. Or maybe a sexy waitress, a sexy nurse, or a sexy infant. Y'all will make anything sexy huh? There wasn't anything sexy about me when I was an infant.

It`s very flattering and thoughtful when you get invited over to someone`s home for the holidays. It always feels good when people want you around for special times like that. But me? I`m a homebody. I've never left my family on a holiday to go to someone else`s house. Now, back in the day, I`d leave them around 10 pm to go to a college party, but never to eat somebody else`s mama food. Its different when you're not in the comfort of your own home. If you go get a third plate at your homie house, they looking at you like, "Dang, save some for other people" Now you got to flip over the dinner table and say "If I cant have none, cant NOBODY have none", just kidding, behave yourself, still get your plate though.

Then again, a part of me wants to go explore other homes and traditions. I really just want a reason to do my make-up and wear a "Thanksgiving dress". You know, after you wear that dress on Thanksgiving, its now the "Thanksgiving dress" and if you post it on Instagram, everyone else will see it that way too. So you better not wear it on Christmas. But I`m a rebel, I`ll wear it the week after and send a picture to your DM`s (direct messages).

Wherever you go this year, just make sure they know how to cook. Nothing ruins a day like nasty food. Some people don't know their way around the kitchen. Don't feel pressured to eat that nasty cornbread this year. How do you mess up some cornbread though? That's like, the easiest thing on the menu. Also, if they let the cats climb on the counter and the dogs sit at the table, they nasty. I`m pretty sure its some cat hair baked into that pie they keep trying to offer you. Gross.

Look, just learn how to cook this year, you still got a few weeks to get it together. I might even leave mama house to come see what you learned. Just have some margaritas as a back up though. At least if I drink enough of those, I`ll forget how nasty your macaroni was.

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...
