A female adult human being, is the definition of a woman but as we all know, it goes so much more deeper than that. To be a woman is to be life. We are the epitome of resilience, strength, beauty, love, peace, we are Phenomenal. It took me quite some time before I considered or referred to myself as a woman. I’m not sure what it was I felt I needed to experience to be considered as such. But, I know the moment that I was able to Quiet all of the outside noise and just Hear Me was so Pro-Founding. That’s when I became a woman. It wasn’t: Moving Out my mom’s house Turning 21 Getting Married Having Babies It was the moment when I truly Accepted Jonique in every essence of her being. We Laugh, We Cry, We Love, We’re Bitter,We’re Happy, We’re Sad, We’re Successful, We’re Creative, We’re Vulnerable, We’re Strong, We Give Life, We Lose Life. We Are! Be the greatest you, J.

What happens when your image of a person Changes? I’m not talking about physically. But when the person you once knew, bonded with, share tons of memories with, still exist, still is apart of your life but yet, you feel so disconnected from the individual(s). Or, what about the person who has their own struggles, and though they’re currently in a “good space,” you’re practically waiting for them to derail again because it’s become a cycle within your relationship. How do you handle the Growth, the Transition, the Evolving or the Diminishment of a person(s) who is apart of your life? I’ve come to learn that Change is apart of life and although all changes aren’t what we deem as “good” or is not conducive to our lives it is the inevitable. People change, Plans change, and the only thing You have control over is How You Respond to it. In my personal experience, it took a while and at times I still teeter-totter back and forth about accepting or rejecting the change(s) that are happening, ...

Sometimes I wish my mind had a turn-off switch. I can find myself in a rabbit hole at times just off of one thought that turned into fifty other thoughts in a matter of minutes. The crazy part is my initial thought may not have any correlation with my last thought. Do you ever experience anything like that? Have you ever found yourself being so busy but yet haven’t accomplished one thing? Just like my busy thoughts, sometimes we as humans make ourselves busy too. We want to make sure we’re always doing something, we want to execute these goals, we want to be successful and we want it done now. But busy doesn’t always mean productive. As the saying goes “steady wins the race.” If you take off full speed, you’re going to tire yourself out before you get to the finish line, you may even quit. Life (the race) is a journey, you’re going to have hurdles, falls, and at some point, even need people to help hold you up along the way. Pace yourself, jog for a sec, power walk if need be, and even...

Hey readers, it’s been a minute since I’ve last written/shared anything with you all, so much has transpired; the whole Pandemic, so many deaths, the Unwarranted, Unnecessary Killings of black people, the Protests, “2020 has been kicking as* and taking names.” But it’s Not Over Yet. In the midst of it’s raft it has allowed people to start businesses, parents and children are spending more time with one another, spouses are reconnecting, individuals are getting much needed rest (mentally & physically) and it has alluded us much time to be still. Stillness isn’t embraced by everyone. Some people have the need and or want to move. Stillness can bring about idle thoughts which in turn can cause turmoil while movement can be used as a distraction therefore preventing chaos. As an over thinker, I know how far my thoughts have reached just off of a simple phrase or word that I may have read too much into; so, I can just about imagine having too much idle “time on your hands.” One thing I ...
