My Favorite Things

At first glance, people tend to think that I am this really complicated person who is meticulous, analytical, and strategic...well in some instances I am; however, most times I am anything but that.

I am simply a happily married mother of 2, who loves her family and that's pretty much it.  I spend most of my time with my husband, my kids, and my parents.  I don't have many friends which isn't really a bad thing in my opinion.  I always laugh when I hear people say they have "so many friends."  I have learned that most people don't have as many friends as they'd like to think.

I am a realist.  I have about 3 really good friends.  I mean these are people who I trust and I know that if I call them, they will come.  Ok, on second thought...make that 2 really good friends.  Yeah, I'm in a sorority and I know a lot of people, but very few qualify for the title of friend.  I've learned that when you don't expect a lot from people; they won't let you down.

My husband is my very best friend.  I know that most people say that because it sounds good; but no, he really is.  I love everything about him...I mean everything.  I love the little mole beside his nose.  I love his thick eyebrows and long eyelashes; especially the bottom lashes. I love his strong arms and broad chest.  I love his pretty feet.  To be honest, his feet are much prettier than mine!  He has a kind, gentle spirit.  He is honest.  He treats me like the black queen that I am!  My heart still flutters when he walks into the room.  He is heaven sent and I thank God for him everyday.  He makes me a better person.

I love to sing and I recently started back writing songs; thanks to my husband.  He encourages me to live my dreams and supports me fully.  He even bought me a Macbook Pro for my birthday so I can use it to work on my music.  I am thankful that I have a job, but I also know that God has greater things in store for me and my family.  I am seeking God for guidance, and I know that he will lead us in the right direction.  Sometimes I get impatient and try to figure things out myself without waiting on God, and that's when I mess up.  I want to produce music and start my own media company.    

I love to eat good food with my family.  I love to laugh.  I love to write.  I love to dance.  I love to be around people who love me and won't judge me for just being...me.

Natural Beauty is...being unafraid to dream and not feeling guilty about it.
