Love Letter To A Sister

LOVE LETTER TO A SISTER 💕🌷🌺 💐🌸🌹💕 A woman was drinking iced tea with her mother. As they talked about life and adulthood the mother said, “Never forget your sisters!

Life Coaching with Monique

Do you ever feel like there is a conflict in your mind? You have the best intentions: eat healthier, be more organized, be more productive. But nothing aligns for you. One part of your brain is saying “Today is the day that I am going to re-write my resume” and by the end of the day, the resume goes untouched. Or you say “Ok, I am going to eat healthier starting today”, and by the time you’re walking or driving to work, you say “Well, maybe tomorrow I’ll start eating better”,

America's Democracy: The Power To Affect Change

Let’s have the courage to care. Choose hope and resilience. I know, a odd statement maybe, but so true as we have become afraid and some have given up in this daunting mess of untruths and unbearable lawlessness, a pandemic run wild, grappling with unbelievable death and economic strife. So I just wanted to share the elusive obvious that we can ‘do’ during this time of upside down. Though we are all feeling some version of unsettled, anxiety and/or depression, on a spectrum o

A New Calling- Exploring Your Passion

Cinnamon Viewers, Do you feel the importance of your own start up business? Or Is your 9-5 job, the better option that fulfills your monthly expenses?

I am terrified because I do not want to fail; however, I understand that failing is a part of life and it allows one to learn . I have proved my worth working a 9-5; but now, I want

Stress and Self-Care

The stressors of everyday life can have a profound effect of our lives. With the looming presidential election, unstable economy, raising unemployment and our new friend COVID-19 things can seem to spiral out of control very quickly. How does one deal with all this stress and still maintain a level of sanity? That is not a question that can be easily answered because when stress hits it can affect one mentally, physically, spiritually and psychosocially. Stress is defined as

Financial Wellness Plan

Pretender There are a bunch of bills, but you cannot pay them all on time. Unable to cope you put the bills out of sight - but they are not out of mind. How to fix it Don’t psych yourself out by focusing on the big picture. Get a few smaller bills and pay them this week. That will make you feel more in control and motivate you to deal with the rest, says Maggie Baker PhD, psychologist and author of Crazy About Money. “Tackle your larger debts by calling creditors and working

The Essence of a New Season: Autumn

Fall. Autumn. Two different names that describe one season. Here in the south, summers are very hot and humid, so when fall comes around it sometimes comes as a drastic change in temperature. Nonetheless a lot of people look forward to fall, myself included. It is what we call hoodie and jacket weather. The time to start bringing out some of the fall/ winter items that we have stacked away once spring and summer has passed. The current time of year is called the September equ

Explore Your Knowledge and Well Being

Well-being... The dictionary defines this term as the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy. The year of 2020, one could argue, has disrupted one, if not more than one of these categories. Well-being could be a balance of all three. Regardless, one's wellness and well-being is very important. Yale University is offering a free course called 'The Science of Well-Being'. It is said that participants will gain skills in happiness, savoring, meditation and gratitude. Visi

Labor Day Weekend - STAY or STRAY

STAY or STRAY? In my area of town, COVID-19 numbers are high. It is one of the hardest hit areas in the surrounding ATL communities. Do you enjoy driveway happy hours and patio/deck socials. Enjoy socials in the home too. The size of the group shrinks from 10 to 6 persons. People must spread out. By now we all know the drill.

Your hair, My hair

“Your hair is beautiful!” – A simple compliment that could put a smile on anyone’s face. The truth is no one person’s hair is the exact same. It is the minuet differences that make us all our own unique persons. There are many different styles one can wear their hair in. Some styles work better for certain hair types, while others do not. However, when it comes to completely natural hair – hair with no chemical alteration – the process of understanding how to properly care fo

Light Colors or Dark Colors? What Shall I Wear?

The year of 2020 has definitely been one for the books; an interesting year to say the least. We all waited for summer to get here, and it came with all its heat and humidity. Heat in the south, is a different breed of heat and I truly do not think anyone grows accustomed to the heat. So how does one stay cool? Drink more water? Maybe, water is very essential. Have you ever thought about the clothing that you wear? I can tell you, it definitely can make a huge difference on k

BLACKOUT DAY, JULY 7, 2020

In March-June 2020, African Americans were disgusted with the atrocities against their men and women. The rallies began as Black Lives Matter and it continues. The 45th has made it clear by his comments that he supports hate crimes. He has openly regarded these as decent people (KKK, neo-nazis, and other white supremacist groups). Today, we stand to encourage spending at Black owned businesses only. As consumers, we have tremendous spending power in this country. Let's unite

JUNETEENTH - African Americans Independence Day (June 19, 1865)

In Galveston, Texas, the slaves were not aware that two and a half years (2 1/2 years) earlier the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln. On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves from the bondage of involuntary servitude. Juneteenth was celebrated by African Americans in Texas because it is the date they discovered their freedom. Other states have come to acknowledge the historical importance of the celebration. In the United
