I’m Giving You Life Today

Good morning. If you read my previous post(if you didn’t what are you waiting for go read it!) then you will understand my theme for this week is #self-care.

The quote embodies all that I been feeling lately. My post to you today is take that leap. When I’m about to step out of my comfort zone, my heart starts to beat really fast. I know it’s my nerves, but I take that as an opportunity to go forward. It’s my universal sign to do take that leap of faith.

So do that. Write down something that makes your heart beat fast. Follow your passion. Don’t forget about yourself. Don’t forget about what you want out of this life.

Xoxo,

Know Your Worth!

  
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!! 

 Hunny have respect for yourself. LOVE yourself. Do not let anyone put you down, make you feel worthless. You are beautiful! You are amazing! You are NOT what they said you are! The basis for all relationships is RESPECT. 

Lauren Hill, she is just a beautiful soul. Take her words to heart. If she/he doesn’t respect you, then they don’t DESERVE you! I can attest to this. I been through it. I let them do that to me. In the end I learned myself worth. I learned that,  NO you will not speak to me that way. NO you will not put me down, make me feel inferior. The day I said NO I started living for ME! 

Furthermore do not go by what you see on TV. Nowadays you see these woman on these reality shows that let these men make them look like a fool. They have no respect for there relationships or the woman they are dating. Do Not be taken for a fool for any man/women that do not know how to be in a healthy and stable relationship! It’s not cute or healthy to be treated like that. Know Your Worth! 

Lastly, it’s okay to be alone. Don’t be afraid of being alone. There is beauty in growing and learning about yourself. Don’t be disrespected. Don’t stand for that. I understand it’s not easy to walk a way, but understand this there is beauty in walking away! 

Giving it to you Straight,

📖One Step at a Time (Update)📖

It’s been so long since I have updated you guys on my book I am writing. I can’t believe it was almost a year ago that I had started writing this book. I have a few more chapters then it will be completed. 

For the record writing a book is hard work. You have all these ideas in your head and when you get it down on paper it just doesn’t sound right. Then you have these moments were you can picture a scene so clearly and write about it so beautifully you shock yourself. 

I’m so happy I took the leap and started writing. It was something I wanted to do with my best friend as she loves books just as much as I do, but it wasn’t something she wanted to do. I knew in my heart it was something that I needed to do. 

I’m so glad I did do it. My story has gotten a lot of love from people all over the world. I have received some great feedback. It has motivated me to finish the book. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there. I’m glad I did. 

Thank you to my best friend for reading my book, for taking the time to edit and guide me I greatly appreciate it. Thank you for you unyielding belief in me. Thank you to the readers who have taken time out to vote, comment and read my words. To an a writer it means the world. 

If your interested in my story you can find it on Wattpad.com. My username is Geekchick1998. My story is called One Step at a Time. Let me know what you think. I will greatly appreciate it. 

Following her dreams, 

Ebony Monae

ps, 

Never stop doing the things that brings you joy💜

Dream BIG

  
I saw this and it just spoke to me. 

Growing up as a child I had so many dreams but as I got older I didn’t have any. I lost sight of what it was like to have dreams. Most of that is due to having a lot self-doubt and lacking courage to follow them. One thing I have learned is that what are we without our dreams? If F. Scott Fitzgerald didn’t follow his dreams he would not have written American Classics. 

My message to everyone is to Dream! Always follow your Dreams! Never give up on your Dreams! Keep Dreaming! 

Always Dreaming, 

Ebony Monae 💜

ps,

Don’t EVER stop dreaming💗

Love💜 Thy Self💗 First

 My Affirmations for this week!!  
LOVE YOURSELF. 

Guys it’s 2016! Let’s start loving ourself’s. That’s the most important thing to do for yourself is to LOVE it. I truly and whole heartedly believe you can’t love anyone in this world if you don’t love who you are. Why do I think this you may be wondering. If you don’t love yourself this opens up doors for people to treat you badly. It allows people to put you down, degrade you. People pray on others with no self love. They like that. It empowers them. 

Do not give them that power! 

The words other say won’t matter because you know who you are! 

I want everyone that will read this to look in the mirror and say I Love Me! 

Much Love, 

EbonyMonae💜

ps

Alway remember in this world you come first and it does not make you a bad person to put yourself first. 

Reflection of 2015💗

As 2015 ended and 2016 begins. I felt the need to reflect back on several things this past year that I have been through and overcame!

I was sick.  But I made it through. I was literally seeing a hematologist everyweek. Having 12 big vials of blood drawn out every week. One problem affected all the other health problems I had going on. Some days I wanted to give up. But I had to believe God had better plans for my life. When I felt like I couldn’t go on. I got the strength to go on. When I felt alone my best friend was by myside through it all. 

 I learned that life is precious and it’s time to leave my comfort zone.  Going through a lot of health problems has taught me this. Life is supposed to be lived. I refuse to live by the sidelines.

Family! I let that go. I embraced my non-tradional family. That’s means I was adopted by a family that loved me. I was adopted into a family at the age of five that for years I felt like I didn’t belong because I wouldn’t conform to there way of thinking. For years I was hurt because I felt unloved by them, I tried to make them love me. Let me work harder in school, let me let them use me to show them I will always be there. They didn’t understand me. I learned that the siblings you grow up with or parents who raise you doesn’t intentionally mean that they have to be your family. I learned that the people who were suppose to by my side during my darkest days were not. Through a lot of reflection I learned that it’s okay.  I can’t make people love me. I can’t make people be there for me. I can’t change who I am to be someone I a not so they can like me. I also learned that my non traditional family is my family. I am loved and I am accepted flaws and all. 

I am learning to love Ebony Monae.  I have let people make me feel worthless, ugly, unlovable. This year it stopped. My friend told me I had to look at myself objectively. What did I see when I looked at myself. I saw a fighter. When life got hard I kept on pushing. When people doubted me I showed them what I am made of. When people who I loved hurt me, I learned to let go. That for me is the hardest thing to do. When I look in the mirror I see beauty, not just my outward appearance but my inner beauty is shining through. I see a kind spirit. Someone who loves to laugh and make others do the same. 

I am not perfect. I learned that it’s okay to fail. To make mistakes. Life is all about growth. Make mistakes and learn from them. Fail but always get back up. 

In 2016 I want to do so many things and nothing will Stop Me!! 

In 2016 I promise to:

Live Life! 

Love 💜 Myself! 

Forgive! 

Make Mistakes! 

Laugh😂!

Be Kind! 

Be Genergous! 

Love, Freely/Hard!!! 

Be Healthy!!

Be HAPPY😊!!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May we all work on things this year that brings us happiness!

🍁New Month, Be Awesome 🍂

  
Hey guys it’s November! Sheesh it seems that time is just going so fast nowadays. Well I hope we all had a great month of October. November, November what do I hope to gain from you this month? Hmmm let’s see, I just want to be happy and be in good health. Last November I suffered from a lot of health problems. Even though my health problems are constantly on my mind I won’t bring them to the forefront. 

With that being said, I know my month is going to be awesome. I am still on Weight Watchers so hopefully I will continue to loose  some weight. I am in school working on my thesis (Lord give me strength) I am not going to let that get to me. So here’s to a awesome November may we be productive, happy, kind and always, always be ourselves 💖💖💖💖

Love Always
