My Love Pieces

I am female. This I know. And I am 110% deserving of being treated with respect. No arguing. No disrespect No being rude Hear me out No don't use your ears Use your heart and try to listen Listen to my every word Get in your feelings Listen with understanding Not to respond No to Retaliate But to find a solution I am not out to get you I am not against you I am with you As your friend Your counterpart I know that this may be hard Not just for you but for both of us But we can get through this together Where's the balance? I am putting in all the work And getting nothing in return Sacrificing everything And settlling The reality of it is No relationship is going to be perfect But what exactly is perfect I love myself to much to be in a disrespectful relationship. Remember that Deniscia I have come toooooo far to retro back. Stay strong. Don't cry. Don't get hurt. No matter what. I like him but I love myself more. This is who I am. ...

2013 Has ended.   Now it is   ******2014****** I honestly thought that 2013 would be the best year. Things were truly looking up for me. Although I lost my favorite person in the entire world, my grandmother in December 2012, I figured that 2013 would be awesome. And indeed it was. Here's my recap. Ok so starting off the year., with a Master degree in New Media Journalism from Full Sail!! Awesomeness. Graduation day from Full Sail University. I brought the new year in with some friends and my family. We went to the LSU game and then church then hit Peters Street together. It was a fun and interesting night none the less. (Sidebar: I was told this story that the guy you spend NYE with will be the guy you will spend the entire year with. Ok. Yea that's a lie. I don't know why I believe those things! ) Friends at New Year's Eve events So then I had this like amazing 26th birthday with the most amazing friends ever and had a blast!! Looking bac...

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.
