Will Smith...

In case you haven't realized it I'm always surfing the net for great inspirational, funny and informative videos. I've come across "Will Smith's Words Of Wisdom" and they were so powerful!! We may not all agree with his views but majority of them make a whole lot of sense...they do to me anyways. I'm in the stages of becoming a better me, I've identified my flaws and I'm proactively focusing on ways to make them better. Flaws are what make us unique but I have to improve on the ones that are holding me back from a better ME. I study people who exude success, whether it be reading books, blogs, watching videos ect. I study my parents moves and actions as well! They are the #1 example I look to. When we want to do better we have to surround ourselves with people who are where we would like to be, people we can learn from, individuals who are smarter than us and who give off positive energy PERIOD.

The saying is true "Your NetWork Determines Your NetWorth"

Enjoy....

Persistence...

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!! I always thought this color accent feature was cool and I could never figure it out. Today I was determined...it took me almost two hours! I was going to just call and ask someone but I decided to figure it out on my own. I usually give up on things when I get frustrated but I just kept trying and finally got it. Well youtube was a small instructor but some of their tips did not work for me....

Even though for whatever reason, some of my photos won't open in the Photoshop Elements on my laptop, I know what to do when the small kinks are worked out. I will probably be making all of my pictures with the effect LOL So get ready...I will be overdoing it for a while!

Now I can go to bed...

ARTLove....




I had to post a few pics from my new mentor Ms. Diane's house!! No, this is not from a museum but from her beautiful home. Take a gander and enjoy....

I'll be helping her with some photography of her before and after photos for her remodeling projects. She's a very sweet lady and I went picture crazy but I just posted a few. These were taken from my iPhone I wish I had my real camera that day. She is very experienced in remodeling and interior design.

I saw so many good ideas and she made me want to collect even more art. I love art and always have but I've just started my collection but I will really be on the look out now!!

Stress-Free....


I loved this short poem, blurb whatever you want to call it...this a good way to keep a sane mind when dealing with relationships. A lot of time we have too many expectations and think we can etch everything in stone then end up stressed out. We take the fun out of dating, courting and even marriages....just enjoy every moment! Let things have a natural flow. Somethings work out and some don't but each circumstance has valuable lessons! Not preaching...this is an area I'm actively working on myself.

Came across this blog on Diddy's blog site and I thought all the words of wisdom were amazing! Each person had a different view but they all were relevant...

Summer In the City: Dubelyoo


So I just purchased this hot painting from @dubelyoo (follow him on twitter)...I can't wait for it to come in!! I found this from a retweet from Miya Bailey and as soon as I saw it I had to have it. It immediately took me back to my childhood...I was and somewhat still am a tomboy. I loved being outside in the summer playing basketball, football, racing people, riding bikes EVERYWHERE, water balloon/water gun fights, nigga knockers, endless trips to the ice cream truck and never wanting to come in the house. I just love to be free and have fun, I can find fun anywhere I go. Experiencing anything new is thrilling to me.... Then my love for music is depicted in the boom box and it's ironic because I was just talking about how i wanted to find an ol' skool boom box...no particular reason tho lol Being a kid was so much fun and whenever I want to revisit limitless and free living I think back on those days. Check out more of Dubelyoo's artwork at his site which is linked to his name.
