Morning loves,
Hope my fellow New Yorkers are having a wonderful snow ❄️ day.
As I was driving to work(I’m one of those people who had to work) I was thinking about how I keep on pushing through every obstacle thrown my way. I thought how truly blessed I am. I’m still here despite what I went though.
Just wanted to give you guys some motivation this morning. Keep on living!!! Life maybe hard but don’t give up!
Don’t give up! Don’t give in!
XoXo 💋,

Morninggg,
Today remember your blessings. In life we get so caught up on our problems and forget we have more blessings than problems.
Have an amazing day💜
Stay Blessed💜,

Morning Loves,
This morning my heart is still heavy. As mentioned yesterday my friend lost her son. I’m still coming to terms with it myself. In moments like this you want to be supportive and be there for your friends. I still don’t know what to say that will make it okay. That will ease her pain. In times like this I’m learning to trust my on my own faith.
For anyone that’s going through anything. Trust on your faith. 
Know that God will get you through it. Sometimes it’s hard to hear that but know God is there. When I feel like my back is to the wall I always say “God won’t give me more than I can handle.” I repeat it all the time and that simple phrase gets me through it. I feel empowered because he knows what I can handle.
Keeping the Faith,
EM💜
ps,
Baby girl I love you more than you know. No words can heal your heart right now but know I am here always.
Morning,
Cheers to having a blessed and prosperous Monday.
It took me a while to understand that I AM NOT FOR EVERYONE. This message really spoke to me. Reminded me that everyone won’t like and that’s okay. Everyone won’t love you and that’s okay too. What’s not okay is keeping them around. So here’s the message : 
Did you read it?!? I know it’s a little long BUT how I loved it. I mentioned in a previous post that I went back to someone who I know didn’t love me but I loved them. Well this explains don’t do it. Continue on a path of purpose and fulfillment.
You are not for them and they are not for you!
How I loved that sentence. Don’t waste your time on someone who YOU know is not worth even an ounce of you. Keep on in the right direction.
I hope this message helps you in ways it did me.
XoXo,
E
Morning Sunshines,
This quote is giving me all types of good vibes. I’m excited about the months ahead. I’m excited about about all the new beginnings I’m embarking on(more to come on a later date.)
Are you excited about what the next couple of months will bring? I hope you are. Previously this week we talked about focusing on you, speaking positivity into your life and letting shit go whether is people or feelings. I promise you if you do all of these things you will breathe much easier.
Now I’m encouraging you to open new doors for yourself. Start the groundwork for this transformation. Apply to that new job. Make that profile on a dating app. Step foot into a gym. Do what you feel you have to do for you to breathe easier.
I’m doing it right along with you. In the next few months I want to explore new things. Meet new people. Travel some. Really work on my business and books(ohh by the way I’m working on a new book so un click that link and tell me what you think🙃)
Blessing Upon Blessings,
EM💜
Morning loves. Happy Sunday!!
This post is for the girls that were told “Your pretty for a dark skin girl(s).”
Please like this post if you have ever been told that above. I HATE those seven words with a fierce passion. Why can’t I be beautiful because of my dark skin?
Growing up I was always made fun of because of my skin color. My siblings would call me “blacky” all the time due to the name calling I would grow up to hate my skin tone. I will never forget the time I was introduced to Coco Butter. I used that every day morning and night. About four months into using it my mother noticed my skin changing. She asked me what was going on with my face. I told her “I don’t know I’m just becoming lighter.” Around the six month mark she finally caught on to what I was doing by this time it was two late the damaged was already done. I had lights spots on my cheeks but the rest of my face was dark. Thus having me being called “two toned”. My thinking at that time was if I was lighter I would be beautiful. If I was lighter I would not be made fun of. If I was lighter boys would notice me.
In my haste to lighten my skin didn’t realize that you had to put it all over your face and not just on the areas you didn’t like. It took years for my skin to become back to normal. Even now its tough to find certain foundations.
I was not raised to love my skin until I got older and realized that my skin was not going anywhere. It is apart of me. Take this time to look into the mirror and see that beauty that is you.
If you take away anything from this post. Understand that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL. Your skin color does not determine if your a pretty or not. I came across this video by Buzzfeed about dark skin and how people from various cultures go through this. Take a look at it. I have included it in bottom of this post.
Ps,
I love my skin 💜💜
As we prepare to lay down for the night. I want to you to think about what the next 364 days will hold for you. Think about all the things you want to do.
It’s a blank book. Get up tomorrow and start living your destiny. I encourage and inpire you to live this life that your thinking about.
Until tomorrow my loves sweet dreams.

Morning💜,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
It’s the last week of the year. As you know this month has been about self-care for me. This week I’m practicing forgiveness. I’m forgiving others so my spirit can be at peace.
Over the last week I have been spending more time with my family since my aunt is visiting from North Carolina. What stood out to me the most was seeing my mom bring up things from almost twenty years ago. I had to tell my mom to let it go. Your blaming my aunt for something she had no control over. Let it go. Forgive my grandmother for what happened and move on. That hurt and pain you have been carrying for way too long. Give your heart peace.
For all those who hurt me and wronged me I forgive you. I wish you nothing but the best in life.
This week I want to inspire you to forgive those who have wronged you and move on with your life. Leave the pain and the hurt in 2016. Walk into 2017 with forgiveness in your heart.
XoXo,
E
ps,
forgiveness is not about letting someone off the hook for there actions, but freeing ourselves of negative energies that bind us to them.
What Is It Like To Be You?
Morning!
Last night I was watching the ending of the movie The Help. Which is a good movie by the way. I hope you have seen it. Well in the movie Viola Davis character stated, “No one ever asked me what is it like to be me?”
That profound statement stuck to me. What is it like to be you? BE ME? I would think that I had some profound answer to this question but honestly I do not. You know why? Because I never asked myself that question.
To my readers what is it like to be you? Do you have any profound answers? I would love to know. Leave a comment please and thank you. One thing I would suggest is to be honest with yourself. Sometimes truth hurts but it can also make you realize a lot of things in your life.
As always Be Inspired<3

ps,
“You is smart, you is kind, you is important!”
Morning loves,
If your anything like me your always worrying about tomorrow. My advice to you, DON’T. This quote somes it all up perfectly. What’s coming will come. Don’t worry about it. Everything will fall into place. Live your life in the meantime. Tackle everything as it comes.
Hope your practicing self-care this month and just honoring thy self💜.
-E
ps,
Let go and let God.
