TRUTH TUESDAY...



I'M JUST SAYING...
 

Okay, it's not too often that I put myself on Blast; however, today is a tad bit different.  Today is my truth Tuesday.  As I always say, "It is what it is"!!  Take it how it is!
 
 
1.  I got on the scale last week and I am 8 pounds heavier than I was before the Thanksgiving break!!That's a bit much for me... I'm only 5'4!!
 
2.  I keep telling myself that I am going to workout in the gym, but all I have done is stuff my face   with foods that start with a 'C'... (Cookies, Candy, Chips, Crackers,)... SMH @ Myself!!!  Why??  Because I am a straight up Junk Food Sugar Head...
 

 

 
3.  I am a health and fitness fanatic, yet, I haven't gotten my lazy self up to run or do anything for   that matter.
 
 4.  Guess what!!... I HATE RUNNING!!!
 
 5.  Last night, I had to stop myself from shoving my face with some Twix Ice Cream!!o_O
 
 
At some point, I will stop complaining about feeling like a blowfish if I'm not doing anything about it.  I need 8 pounds gone ASAP before it becomes a plus 2 then I must lose 10.  #Tragic


IN ORDER TO WIN... I MUST LOSE!!!
 
 
 
WHAT ABOUT YOU?? ... TELL THE TRUTH!!

iHeart HBCU Dancers!!... WE ROCK!!!!

Today is a very draining Monday, but these past few days have been Great and well worth it.  The Golden Girls have worked nonstop to perfect their craft and they definitely pulled it off.  The Honda Battle of the Band in Atlanta was such an Amazing experience that Alcorn's Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite has never touched before.  We have been given the opportunity to be a part of something Spectacular, which is showcase our BLACK COLLEGE BANDS!!  They were all OUTSTANDING!!  I also want to give a shout out to ALL the Dancers from each participating University.  Those girls Rocked!!  I'm never too Big to give proper respect where it is due.  Talent is Talent!!  Amazing talent at that!!  Nevertheless, the Glamorous Golden Girls made their mark as well and I am extremely proud of them. 
 
When you are doing what you love on a daily basis, it should Never feel like work to you. Although, interacting with young ladies day after day can be a great task, I ENJOY being a Sponsor/Coach of the ORIGINAL GOLDEN GIRLS!! We shed Blood, Sweat and Tears!!!
 

 
ALWAY DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!
 
 
 
 
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ALL ABOUT EMRACING AND ENJOYING THE MOMENT...
 
 
 

TURN UP ALCORN!!!!!  THE GEORGIA DOME SHALL SEE US AGAIN!!!!

PerFecTly ImPerFect...The Skin I'm In

 
So... about two days ago, someone asked me "How is that you can walk into a room with such a Strong and Confident presence?"  With a blank stare, I stood there for a minute... I never really thought of myself in that manner.  I do not believe I was quite sure of how to answer it, so I replied, "Is this a serious question?"... They were looking at me like, UHHH YEAH!! Lol!!  So I smiled and stated, "I accept the fact that I am perfectly imperfect and I embrace the skin I am in."
 
Society can be very unnaccepting of individuality; however, you are who you are.  No matter what, Embrace your Beauty.
 
After "Years" of comtemplation, I decided to go "Natural".  O.M.Gee!!!  I heard soooo many negative comments behind this transition.  "Why does your hair look so nappy?"... "Why would you do such an ugly thing to yourself?"... Relaxed hair will Always be better than natural nappy hair... Oh and the funniest of all... "You look like Celie from The Color Purple".  Yeah, I laughed at that one...lol!!  Normally, I would reply in a merciless manner; however, I have grown and realized that the world is full of uncouth people.  None of the comments bothered me, but I did ask myself, "How could anyone have the audacity to criticize me on MY choice of appearance?"  I am doing this for me and Not anyone else... An AMAZING decision made on my part :-)
 
I must say that regardless of how many times I change my "Style", I am always pleased with the results... WHY??  Because I am Not defined by what I wear or how I change my hair... Neither should you.  Show everyone that you are Strong, Beautiful and Confident in All that you do.
 
 
Having Long Black Hair does not make me better than a Curly Girl...
 
 
 
 
 
Having Long, Curly Red Hair does not make me better than a Coily Girl...
 
 
 
 
Having Black and Brown Spiral Hair does not make me better than a Fro Hawk Girl...
 

 
 
Having Short Blonde Hair does not make me better than a Natural Girl...

 
 
 

Through all that I endure, I whole-heartedly love myself.  Different appearances but the same me... the same Brown Skin :-) I say Paint the town whatever color you want it to be.  Your journey is your story and so is mine.  I make Every stride a Confident stride and No one can take that away from me... Do Not allow others to take it away from you.  With all that is said and done... This is who I am... PerFeCtLy ImPerFecT!!!


COLOR ME BeauTAUful...NATURALLY!!!!!
 
 
 
WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR FOOTPRINTS??
