What I learned last week from Bold as a Lion week is that bold is a state of mind. It’s like wearing a badge or brooch or superman superwoman cape, and only you determine whether it’s for good, bad, entertainment, or just plain crazy. (Think Flotus, Pink, Bey, and KeKe Wyatt.)

The final word on last week’s theme We See What We Want goes to the missing girls who were found alive after being missing for 10-12 years. It’s not so much about them, although I’m glad they’re alive and I’m happy for their families, but more about being aware of our surroundings and seeing what we want to see and more.

Sunday is Mother’s Day. Congratulations and a good day to all the living moms. Honor and remembrance to those who have passed on. I’m not a big fan of rap, but there are some raps that I do like, especially Tupac’s to his Mom that I have to hear every Mother’s Day. I dedicate the song Dear Mama to all the moms out there. Your children may not always verbalize or show it, but just know… you are appreciated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=byyWQEYzS2A
Visuals drive us to desire things we never knew we wanted. Our culture thrives on creating desirable images that make us want to buy! And although external visuals inspire us to consume, internal visions inspire us to do. We typically want what we can see with our natural eye, more than what we can view with our supernatural (or internal) eye. But having internal vision can change your external circumstances.
As women we’re expected to be great multitaskers… but that’s not always the case! Sometimes we need to improve our ‘natural’ abilities. Here are some steps to take to more effectively multitask:
A lot of people struggle when it comes to determining their purpose. They aren’t sure if what they’re doing is what they are called to do. But it is a simple question to ask yourself when you are determining your purpose:
There was a time when I felt life was down right boring. I was going to work and working on my dream, but I didn’t feel like my life was unfolding the way I desired it to. It was as frustrating as it was unfulfilling, and I knew a change needed to happen. And the change was simple:

A flaw can be a beautiful thing. Can you imagine not having any flaws at all? Being perfect from head to toe, inside and out. Flawless—mentally, physically, and emotionally…all day, every day? I’m getting tired just thinking about it! The beauty of flaws is that they build character and keep us grounded. If you’re a positive person you can find beauty in just about everything—including your flaws.
Alexander McQueen’s Fall lookbook collection has been released! Keeping up with the brands unique appeal, the styles have victorian and gothic elements. Yet, this collection seems more wearable than most other collections. Check it out:
Have you ever had one of those flaw-finding friends? Some people you have to really build yourself up in order to be around because you know they are going to say something rude, or point out something you didn’t expect. These flaw-finding people become e-x-h-a-u-s-t-i-n-g after a while. It’s as if their judgements choke the air from you.
I speak from experience because I had a best friend who was a true flaw finder to the point where I couldn’t stand being around her… hence the word ‘had.’ But you don’t always have to ditch a good friend who happens to find flaws… on a daily basis. Instead, you could gain some quick understanding and improve your communication skills to solve the problem.
