BRIT AND BLACK EXCELLENCE ABROAD


"I don't know them like that, I ain't going."

Hello and happy Thursday from a new and improved 30 year old Brit! Well okay fine, I'm still slightly trash but we getting there. Let me tell ya'll something, the past few weeks of my life have been amazing! Ya'll ever took a break from paying bills just to relax?

I'm hella poor right now but let me explain...

My 20's were a blast! I feel like those years allowed me to get to know myself. You know, take this adult life for a spin and see if I crash (I crashed a few times). Although I had a lot of fun, I did A LOT of stressing. About graduating from college, moving from city to city, apartment to apartment, job to job, how I was going to pay for this or that and where my life was going in general. I did so much of that, until I had forgotten to take time for myself.

See? This is why having a dope circle is important. I'm bout to pull up on ya'll with this word, ya'll ready?

 Aight so boom, I knew I wanted to really step outside of my box this year. I had it all worked out. I planned a party and also wanted to plan a vacation with friends. It just so happens that the homie Carl and fiance Ashley were planning a big group trip to Cabo, Mexico! I'm like, dope. Let me round up some of my girls and make a birthday event of it. I was hype, thirsty and ready to go. What better way to spend your birthday than going out of the country for the first time with your girls?

 They was like, "NAH." So then I was like, "NAH."

 Until my people was like, "Why don't you just go by yourself? It's a group."

 I'm like: "BY MYSELF?!?!?"
 If you know me, you know that I am in the top two list of introverted extroverts... and I ain't two. So I called Carl and backed out because I had nightmares of me being painfully awkward. He insisted that this would be the best time and that I should still come out. He even found me a person to split my room with! That's love! Although I knew Carl and Ashley, my room was set up and everything was taken care of, I still thought about not going everyday until I sat on the plane and it took off. But I'm so glad I went! It turns out, an open bar and nice weather can make you pretty social.

Look ya'll the moral of the story is, you ain't gotta wait on nobody to do what you wanna do. I would have missed out on a really dope experience, meeting dope people and a four day turn up if I waited on someone to go with me. I mean come on, have you ever seen 200 black people on the beach living they best life like this?

In the words of the homie Carl, "Friends don't let friends miss groups trips!" So, don't miss the next one! Carl and Ashley are an amazing team who makes sure everyone has a positive experience.

See ya'll soon!

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...
