~She Lives-Aja Monet~

click here for her website

This young lady changed my whole view on writing, especially when it comes to spoken word and performing. I have never created poetry in the sense of spoken word until I heard her. She is changing the game in the world of artistry. She is a true inspiration and it shows through her work. Im so glad I discovered her on Youtube. And yall know when I find something good I share it with the world. Here is my favorite piece of hers entitled "She lives." Make sure you check out her other work and I believe she has a book out too. I'm getting that!!!

Crafted works of art surround me

I am in touch with my visual scents 

the lines forming in this piece 

are ohhhhh so relentless,

your lines more bold, while mines curvaceous 

they both meet together in congruent relations,

earthy tones

yours chocolate swirls into my light caramel,

create a Twix candy so sweet we can't fail

the masterpiece they call it,

the worth is priceless

"Don't Touch" signs guard it,

Focal point lost

colors broken into puzzle pieces,

 flat tones become flat lines
stray footsteps lead to the exit door,
why should you leave,
when I really want more
Galleria of Art how I admire your beauty!
Visually you have to satisfy my desire,
because unfortunately we are in two
different stages of life....to build an empire

*Goodbye Masterpiece*

I decided not to make a new year's resolution this year. Instead I picked a quote that I will live by "Hustle like an Immigrant."

The quote I got out of one of Rusell Simmons books. So I encourage all of us to Hustle like an Immigrant."

~Ready to Exhale~

I've been waiting to exhale,

no inhale the scent of your body,

feeling your body on me,

your lips to meet mines so gently,

your hands touching forbidden fruit

Can I be your Eve babe?

And you can be my Atom to life

so we cannot be broken by any chemical means,

curiosity got me wondering

don't let me miss out,

I need you and you need me,

give me life, breath through me

keep my heart beating stronger and faster for you,

let me close my eyes and see only you,

rare like a diamond

rib I need, part of you

gifts of pleasure from me to you,

exchange to our rode of destiny,

give me my Groove Back

so I can exhale again

 Mind-Cluttered

 Body-Dirty 

 Soul-Empty 

Yearning for purity mind, body, and soul 

The day, the hour, the moment to be cleansed

  deep down waves from the ocean, all the way to the sandy shore, touch me

 I want you to touch me, so I can be wet, washed from head to toe, take away stains, I stand still no movement because I let you move through me, I feel you between my fingers and toes, Absence from color but still I see you, most of all I can feel you... cleaning me, bathing me, and showering me with wisdom, every last drop I need, like a baptism submerged to submission, dirt rolling off my finger tips,
 and I say to you
 It is in the water, I am clean 

  Mind-OPEN

  Body-FREE 

  Soul-CLEANSED

~Back 2 Healthy Hair Care

I'm gonna get back to healthy hair care. I use to be a hair addict a few years back. After I cut my hair and went natural, I got super lazy with it. My hair goal is to have healthy bra strap length hair. I will share my hair regimen with you on another post. I'm not gonna be a hair addict, I just want to keep things simple. That's how my hair grew to the length that it is now. This is my hair flat ironed, I'm natural so it would look shorter in it's natural state. What are some of your hair goals?

 Don't Compromise

In life people will try to judge you. They will try to tell you who you are and put you in a box. Something I like to call the box mentality. When they try to feed you that junk there are two things you must do. The first is to remain headstrong, and the second is to not compromise.

Let me take it a bit further and tell you about a personal story of mine. I had a situation a couple of months ago where someone tried to compromise me. This individual tried to tell me that they use to be like me. And I was going down the wrong path in life. After we exchange words though a text, I realized it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about me. It's what I think and KNOW about myself that really matters. The sad part about it is that I use to look up to this person. After I seen the change in them, I realized "people are people." They change just like leaves in the fall. Truth is I won't let anyone speak negativity in my life. I just keep my mind focused on the positive and will put one foot in front of the other and walk.

You see nothing in life is worst than feeding into others pessimistic views. If you allow people to condescend you they will. Honestly, only God can judge us. He is the only one who created us. God will never have anything negative to say about you.

I remember once one of my friends said to me "Candace I wish I could be more like you, you don't care what people say about you." I said you're right....why should I try to change them. At the end of the day, they don't know me. I know me and I'm on their mind. Studies have shown that 25% of people will not like you no matter what. All the convincing in  the world won't change their view of you.

So that is why we have to be head strong. Focus on the positive and be optimistic in life. And lastly, DON'T COMPROMISE for anyone!
