the moment you walk away from everything and life feels collided. my journey back to new york wasn't an easy one. i'd spent many days in tears wondering where i had been, where i was headed. why i was there and if i'd stay there forever. after a couple of months sobbing in sorrow, i'd realized that that wasn't who i was or who i'd wanna be. the saying you have to get knocked down to get back up again is in it's truths. when you crumble, you certainly feel faded. i got up. eventually. it took time. who the hell in their right mind considers time? because i sure didn't. and little did i know that it'd pass before my weary eyes. the only thing i've ever really lived for was proof. proving to myself that i could do anything and be something of worth. even if i didn't want it. i always felt the need to prove things to everyone and why is well, because if we don't as humans, then we feel no purpose. i took my slagging ass and built up e...

it's so nice to take a break from everything; work | blogging | networking, to just breathe the fresh air and rest easy. Recently I've become very tense. I'm typically always stiff but as of late, it's become way too intense. I suffer from migraines and body aches daily. It's awful. A full time standing job doesn't help. When your body has had enough, it will surely let you know!  I'm discovering a new way to cope with healing through natural remedies. Having migraines for 16 years is long enough to have tried everything. I've done so much to try to deal as best as possible and it's become a habit of mine to try new things. If you're anything like me; always on the go, working all the time and never sleeping, then let's accomplish relaxation together! Please. We need to be healthy.  Things I've done that have helped me this past week: 1.) Breathe. Recently reading about how to relieve tension, I've learned that I don...

i know we have our blogging tips and i'm sure you've read enough on the internet from other bloggers, etc about how to blog but really something you're not hearing is this: A SUCCESSFUL BLOG TAKES TIME i don't mean that it'll take a year or whatever to be successful, although it does take some time to develop a well known blog but what i want to discuss is how time consuming a blog can really be! full time bloggers get paid to write, dress up, promote, etc. does that mean they're successful, sure. they take time to pull together a great post, advertise it online and pretty much sell their blog! not everyone has the time in a day to do that though. Many of you have jobs and go to school. Is it quite possible to have a successful blog + a life outside of blogging?  So How Do You Become a Success in a Blog? Step 1. Relax.
