Be in Control of Your Destiny

Sharpen your pencil as you create the story of your life.

Ask today as you consider the many choices in your view -

what is the highest and best use of your talents, skills and abilities?

When you answer that, seize the opportunity to sharpen those qualities even more sharply by applying your focused
effort.

- Mary Anne Radmacher

Love Quote

For the Strongest women I know and Strong women around the world

 These are the women who have someway some how made such impact  in my life and inspire me in so many different ways we have truly grown together Love you Ladies♥♥♥

'She' Treats her Self

A real woman needs no thrown.

She plants her feet on cements with

roots so strong they break through the ground.

She has connections in her mind so microscopic they produce no effort and minimum movement.

She lives her life working with her hands and still manages to have the understanding most don't .

Always analysing, jotting everything down on her right side of the brain

because the left side is on autopilot.

Always thought to  sympathize, but really empathizing to learn how

you can twist your bat to hit  a curveball out the field and still walk the bases in heels.

She has the touch of an angel and smile so angelic it makes the strongest of lions meow..

She has the power to do and undo as she pleases but doesn't. She knows that time wasted is a gift wasted 

and to accept a gift is to bless the giver.

She'll stay quite among her surroundings in time of agony with faith so strong she could move mountains.

Her physical beauty is appealing but not as appealing as the neurons that race through her brain.

She wraps herself around it tight with no facial expression of worry.

Just a smile and a nod.

Look close in her eyes and you will see there is more that lays beneath the layers of

physical beauty.

Only real men really notice..

My Cinderella☂

 Not to long ago I blogged of a beautiful and inspiring young lady who truly inspires me, not just as a woman but also as a human being.  Danisia Anderson is remarkable teen in control of her future, a charitable and rap poetic she touches the heart of many  including myself.  Not long ago Danisia attended her High School prom and she asked me to be her fairy godmother and make her over lol...
  Overjoyed to take on this task and I accepted, along with styling her hair I also did her make up and helped her out here and there with some style tips and accessories. The outcome of this event was superb and she was gleaming with joy and looking as beautiful  as I knew she would; she was euphoric with gratitude making my heart skip a beat.

  Through this process we were able to bond and become really close, sharing ideas, laughter, and plenty of time. Here are her before and after photos of her Cinderella transformation...

Excited!

Danisia and I

Finally with her date

A Petal to a Rose on Prom night ❀

  So it's prom season and I have the pleasure of working with one of the most amazing and inspiring teens I've met in a long time.  So dedicated, devoted and always passionate of the everything she sets out to do.... Danisia Anderson is a senior at Health Opportunities Secondary School in the Bronx,  aside from being sweet, funny and creative along with many other talents; Volunteering and poetry are two of my favorite of her attributes. As a poet her words are so powerful, sharp, vivid, witty, and graceful, creating a world to the mind and piercing through the heart with such unyielding metaphors.

  Danisia is a volunteer with The Nakande's Project , in addition to the Build-on foundation, ( buildOn is a non-profit organization that empowers primarily urban US high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, buildOn youth actually build schools and bring literacy to children and adults in developing countries around the world. buildOn programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education.) an organization dedicated by contributing to society and even the human race... changing the lives of many.
  Going forward, she has asked me to style her hair and do her make up for her senior prom, and delighted to do so I accepted with great joy and enthusiasm; Not so much because I'm doing what I love to do, but rather because of whom I'm doing it for. A celebrity in my eyes a humble-some young woman, capable of challenging and encouraging herself, her peers and even her elders.
  Danisia will be wearing a lovely one shoulder flower dimensional black dress, and with that she requested to wear her hair on one side with soft curls, adding more flare and beauty to her already beautiful dress.  Excited to be a part of her soon to be extraordinary night I have been doing some searching and will show samples of the style I will be creating for Ms. Anderson... 

 Almost a very similar look to what Danisia will be wearing to her Prom

 A classic, elegant, and yet sexy, young and playful look, fit  for both women and young women in our modern age.. I encourage many other teens looking for a great look to pair up with their dress and date, and who want to look beautiful on their night... its a great and vivacious look for that evening.

Helping Danisia in making her night a memorable and magical night , by allowing her to feel confidant, radiant, and  exuberant, through pure beauty;  Soon as we complete our look I will post pictures of the work done and the very lovely teen before and after...

Phenomenal Woman❁

Dear Lovely Roses,

  Beneath our skin lies the most beautiful woman any eye can meet, Being beautiful is not about the clothes that we wear, or the way we style our hair; it is the confidence that we sometimes hide inside and forget to project.  For many of us having a junoesque shape, lustrous hair, the perfect nose, lips, and cheek bones is what makes us complete; it is not merely what captures life... How we feel within our own skin and think of ourselves is   truly what surfaces and grasps everything around us.

  We are all designed in a unique and distinguished form, with a purpose to give life to all that surrounds us with our presence.  For the love we give ourselves is the only one we can offer to others... so lets be Radiant, Resilient, and Radical; for our Creator gave us the gift to give life and nurture it as he has done with us, which I believe is the greatest gift one can possess.  Be blessed for we are women phenomenally, phenomenal women is what we are. ; )

Phenomenal Woman - Poem by Maya Angelou

The Law of Attraction...

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

There once was a woman who awoke one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well" she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today."
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she awoke, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
"Hmmm," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today."
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she awoke, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."
So she did, and she had a fun day.

The next day she awoke, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"Horray!" she exclaimed."I don't have to fix my hair today!"

"ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING"
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
