  • quote of the day

    Dear black women,

    Do not permit TOXICITY near you. Protect yourself from foul words, from negative impressions, from uncomfortable situations, and from people who defraud you of peace and kindness, and from moments that do not serve your interest.

    You deserve a life that is free of chaos. Learn to walk away from anything if it threatens your peace of mind. It may sound like a buzzword, but always try to PROTECT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. If you “lose your mind”, you lose everything.

    We all have very limited time on earth. Use your time wisely.

  • The entire idea of LIFE is to conquer FEAR every day

    Nobody understands fear like black women.

    “Should I stay with him and work it out?”

    “How am I going to cope with being a mother to toddlers and running a business?”

    “Should I listen to people and have another baby?”

     “Will I be seen as aggressive if I share my opinions?”

    “Can I make good friends regardless of the stereotype of women hating on one another?”

    The difference between failing and winning is in DOING regardless of FEAR.

    This February do not give room for fear.

    Here are 5 of our favourite quotes on fear:

    “Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.” – Judy Blume

    “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

    “Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” – Yoda

    “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.’ – Marie Curie

    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” – Frank Herbert in Dune

    Happy New Month!

    On this special occasion, let’s share 10 inspiring quotes from the incredibly successful artiste:

    As you get older, you realize that the holidays aren’t actually about the gifts, but are about spending time with your loved ones.

It’s a way better gift than anything you could wrap up, which is why these are quotes about Christmas that you should treasure.

    1. “Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” ~ Oren Arnold

    2. “This time of year means being kind to everyone we meet, To share a smile with strangers we may pass along the street.” ~ Betty Black

    3. “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!” ~ Hamilton Wright Mabie

    7. “Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
    for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
    like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
    The good you do for others is good you do yourself.”

    ~ Norman Wesley Brooks, “Let Every Day Be Christmas”
