My Love Pieces

These are some of my hair pieces that I have created... Let me know if you are interested.

If you look into my eyes can you read my story? Can you feel my pain? Can you see my true happiness? I'm not perfect I have plenty of flaws. Wanting to be accepted and not judged for a past that was out of my control is quite unfair. I can't help the way the cookie crumbled. Or which end of the stick I got. Life just happened. Broken hearted. Hurt feelings. The pain may reappear every now and then and sting, hurt like hell but for me to still say it's ok at the end takes a lot of strength a weak man will never understand. Only a strong minded man will be there for me and say "It's ok. I won't leave. I'm here to stay." And that is you. My God. Thank you for always being there. For hearing my cry. Wiping my eyes and saying "My child it will be ok." Thank you God, my Father which art in Heaven. For continuously watching over me and setting the example for me.  Your unconditional love and overflowing of blessings. ...

I lost my most favorite person in the world. My grandmother. I didn't see the day coming and it hit me like a brick wall. I cried for days and nights thinking that would ease the pain But it didn't I prayed for understanding and guidance as to why God needed to take her away from me And slowly He assured me that He needed her so that she can be my guardian angel. I am still confused as to why so soon I am still lost as to why her I miss her with all my might and soul and strength. I feel like my life is no longer worth living for. Everything I did, I did for her It's so hard to lose someone you love, adore and admire to death because it's out of your control. I pray that I regain strength to carry out life in honor of her and for her That I embrace my new guardian angel I love you Grandma and miss you here on Earth -Denii  Rest In Heaven Grandma  December 18, 2012

(Foreward: I wrote this post sometime last year - mid summer probably and it stayed in my "drafts" ever since. Never touching it. Browsing on Facebook I came across an entry on For Harriet about being comfortable in your own (black) skin. God's timing could not have been more perfect.) As I read from Essence Magazine an article about black women being successful, it hit me like I need to vent. I was hanging out with my friends this weekend and we ended up on the subject about black women. The topic was US. This has been a topic lately that a lot of my friends have been discussing. Being a black woman in America. Being a single black woman as well and how hard it is to have a man. Now the girl I was with was in relationship and said it herself that black women are at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to dating, last picking in the work place and not considered as beautiful. To hear her say that was shocking to me. I also had ...

God makes no mistakes. When I tell you everything happens for a reason and if you put your trust in Him, He will always lead you down the correct path. Whether you agree or you may question, if you trust Him, he will not steer you wrong.

I changed careers. Does it make me a sell out to the communications field? Or a loser for given up of communications? Maybe. Possibly. However, after receiving my degree in Mass Communications in 2009 and the constant downhill battle of finding a job, I was constantly denied and ultimately in my mind failed. Here I was a woman who has a clean background, went to school, completed the internship, was the executive editor of the newspaper, networked as much as I could, has the experiences and still never got an interview. What was I doing wrong for 4 years of the premiere of my potential career? I have no clue. I applied to numerous communications specialist jobs, editorial assistant jobs, communications managers, social media coordinator, even went the teacher route and applied for a couple of teaching fellows and Teach for America (three times!) but never landed the job. For years I was in this battle and even worked on a Masters degree in Journalism to only find ...

"As I Look Back Over My Life" That song has been on repeat in my mind the past few days - maybe because I turned 26 and it's such a catchy song. If I can find it, I will put it in the link to the title. I look at the people God has blessed me with. The ones that have stayed and the ones that have left. This birthday celebration at Wet Willies, I looked around the table and I smiled so hard because I had my some of my best friends with me. Two seats were occupied of women that I have known over 10 years! One seat, a man that I have known for 10 years and we have all watched each other grow and mature. The other seats were newly acquired friends from college and I have watch them mature as well.  I am amazed at where we all are in our lives and thought, this was no mistake. God did this on purpose. He purposely and strategically placed these people in my life at that time so that we can lean on each other for support (literally) and encourage each other and la...
