Hello Everyone,

Happy November!! Happy Thanksgiving!! Did You Vote? This month theme is all about “Resilience”. As we all know this year 2020 was tough for everyone, and effected everyone in some way, or another. Change for the better is something we are all looking forwards to, & that we are all working towards everyday to get ourselves back on track, and back to normal as 2020 comes to an near end. Resilience, is the capability to recover quickly from difficulties, and or hardships that we may have encountered, or may have gone through. Even through the pain, suffering, lost, hurt, moments, maybe your having a tough time in school or work, dealing with negativity that has affected so many of us throughout 2020, prior, and currently has left a painful mark, we can not forget that resilience lets us know that we are strong enough, and capable enough to dig deep, find that strength within us to keep fighting, to keep overcoming no matter who may have hurt us, or put us down, no matter what tried to stop you. Overcoming the naysayers, or negative individuals who said you couldn’t make it without them, and proving to yourself that you can make it, that you are strong, and that you are capable of achieving anything you put your mind to, that that you are strong enough to succeed at doing the impossible is what this month theme is all about, and most importantly having a grateful, and thankful attitude, & mind self to allow yourself to pick up the pieces and putting yourself, and your life back together far better than ever before. Resilience, thanks “AVA SOL” for your beautiful art work within your photos, your photos helped inspired me for my theme this month. Stay Tuned Always!!

Hello Everyone,

Happy October!! Happy Halloween!! Fall is my Favorite season. Did you remember to registrar to vote? This month theme is all about “AWARENESS” With so much happening around the world right now it is so important to have awareness. Being aware of yourself, who you surround yourself with daily, and individuals who may not have your best interest at heart. It is so easy to be deceived, taken for granted, or even betrayed by those who we call loved ones, friends, & even family, etc. Awareness allows you to be able to acknowledge your capabilities, become more aware of your surroundings, and who you allow in and out of your life. When you are aware, or have awareness of yourself you know what you have to offer, what you bring to the table, or to the job you work at, and you know that you are important no matter what others may say about you. Sometimes we are not aware of certain things, jobs, people, etc. who may not be best for us, and for our lives which can lead to deception, negativity, or even trouble, but each day it is important to remember to stay aware as eventually the signs will show you, and awaken you to what you need to see. It is important to remember that “deception” is misleading, hiding from truth, when “awareness” is knowledge & understanding that something is happening or exists as facts. Are you aware of yourself? and your capabilities? Are you being deceived by someone?or others? Does everyone in your life have your best interest's at heart? or are they in your life for the wrong reasons? How will you use your awareness to better your life, to cut out anything or anyone that doesn’t have your best interests at heart, so that you wont be deceived, but aware. As always thank you for your support and love, & always stay tuned.

Hello Everyone,

Happy September!! Don’t forget to registrar to VOTE!! This month theme is all about “LEARNING” no matter who you are, what age you are, where you have been, or where you are headed, learning will always be important. When it comes to learning it motivates us to do better, nourishes our mind, and helps us to gain knowledge on what we don’t actually understand. What are somethings you would like to learn? or would like to gain a better understanding of? Is it learning to do better? Gaining insight on how to manage yourself, your life, your finances, or your business. Maybe its learning how to treat someone better, or even learning how to read, or learning how to spend more time with yourself, or others. Maybe its learning something new, a new skill, trade, or learning more about who you will VOTE for this November 2020. Learning can also be fun, so have fun learning, and gaining as much knowledge as you want.

Happy APRIL!! Happy Easter!! Happy Palm Sunday!! Happy Passover!! Happy Good Friday!! Happy Earth Day!! As spring is upon us, it is also one of my favorite seasons, and Easter is my favorite holiday. This month theme for my website is “Renewal” Something about the month April that always reminds me of cleanliness, fresh, and enjoying the new. It’s important to stay clean, and take time for yourself, to renew yourself, and get rid of what isn’t needed in your life to renew yourself. Take this time to renew, get your social distance, relax, and detox to become a better you, as I will also be doing the same. Stay Clean, & Stay Safe during this time!! How are you social distancing during this time?

Hello Everyone,

Happy Black History Month!! February 2019 is here, and i hope everyone’s year is going great so far?! Since it is black history month I decided to be a bit creative, and display the cool inventions created by African Americans, that many individuals may, or may not have known. There were so many cool inventions created by African Americans first that we use everyday that it was so hard for me to choose just seven. If you looked at the photos on my welcome page, and tried to guess who invented what? Then check out the answers below this paragraph. If you haven’t done so check out some great inventions online, that were created by African Americans, where would be, or do without some of the greatest inventions ever created. As always thank you for the support and love. xoxo- V

Inventions created first by African Americans: Photos from my welcome page!

1.) The Purple Clock: Invented by Benjamin Banneker, he made America’s first clock, and many clocks after.

2.) The Yellow Elevator Door: Invented by Alexander Miles, who made invented the first the elevator doors.

3.) The Bedroom night stand Electric Lamp: Invented by Lewis Latimer who invented the first electric lamps, and also invented the carbon filament inside light bulbs.

4.) The Ice Cream Mold, disher “aka Ice Cream Scoop”: Invented by Alfred L. Cralle who made the first ice cream scoop for us, just to scoop out our ice cream a bit easier.

5.) The Pink Touch-Tone Telephone: Invented by Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson who was the first African American woman to invent the touch-ton telephone, the fax machine, caller ID, call waiting, and the fiber-optic cable, including being the first African American woman to earn a PHD MIT. WOW!! Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson where would the world be without your inventions. Thank you!! Women Rock!!

6.) The Yellow Traffic Stop Light: Invented by Garrett Morgan who invented the first traffic stop light, so that we could all make it to our destinations a lot more safer.

7.) The Potato Chip photo: Invented by George Crum who invented the first potato chips, so that we could have something to snack on when we are hungry. I wounder if his last name “Crum” sparked the idea to invent chips. hmmm??? Thank you, because I love chips too!!
