#SelfLoveSaturday (On Tuesday)

This weeks message is about betting on yourself!

This is a pretty big deal when it comes to my life. There have been times when I let people convince me that I am unable to do some things so I just don't do it. Don't let other people project their fears onto you, it's not fair to let that into your space.. Never be afraid to stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone. You are never too old, young, fat, skinny, smart, dumb, etc. to fulfill your purpose. It took me awhile to accept this and I am still accepting this and it is an awesome journey knowing that I can do anything that I put my mind to as long as I don't let my own negative thoughts or anyone else's sneak into my life.

I hope this short video inspires you the way it inspired me.

New Project Coming Soon!!!

Canady Chronicles: "So how's the married life?"

Good morning boys and girls!

I was able to step away from the Kim Kardashian game and actually get some family time in. That game is beyond addictive and I've always considered myself lucky to have never gotten sucked into the Kardashian empire but this game just keeps calling me. On to the blog post...

Growing up as a child I never had the big family dinners, or a dad that sat at the head of the table getting the big piece of chicken. For the first 10 years of my life it was just Rita and me. She was who I depended on for everything, I really had no one to reach out to emotionally besides her and imaginary friends. I know that sounds sad but its not. The crazy thing about living in your own world is that you don't know anything is wrong with it until someone points it out. No one ever pointed it out for me, so I was happy, for the most part. However, sitting down watching shows like the Cosby's made me long for my own huge black successful family. So much so that I said "That's going to be me when I grow up". Decent kids, good family values, and enough love to spare.

Sometimes life gets hard, and it is surprisingly nothing at all like a sitcom (who knew?). Real life things happen that hinder your dreams, and though a lot of things I longed for as a child have gone out the window, one thing remained the same, family.  I love the people you see in the picture above, they are my everything, they are what I didn't have as a child, they are my peace when the world seems at war with me. I don't miss the clubs, I don't miss the dating scene, I don't miss being single. I wouldn't trade the feeling they give me for the world.

So, not that I mind it (3 of my friends asked me this question this weekend lol), but this is for all those people who inquire about how "married life" is. These are all the things I want to say but can't fit into a conversation that I'm having in passing so I just have to say its great, but that doesn't at all sum up my feelings about it. In fact the next time someone asks me this I will just refer them to the blog!!!!

Have a good one folks!

#SelfLove: Don't Compare Yourself to Others.

Hi boys and girls!!!

So I've been on this "kick" a self love "kick". Each and every Saturday my friend (in my head) Andrea Lewis, posts videos about loving yourself and they honestly just bring me joy. They give me what I need for the week. I thought that it would be nice to share.

This weeks video is about not comparing yourself to other people. She mentions social media, and other things that make us envious of people that we don't even know. When someone is posting on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc etc. We usually post the best things about our life. So don't let that make you wish for someone else's life, almost no one posts the bad days!!!

Check the video out below:

Ciao!
