Confessions of A Coffee Snob… McDonald’s Store Bought Coffee…Is There A Difference?

Is Your Bae’s Actions Loud Or Muted?

I’m A Flower Still Waiting To Be Given Flowers…

To Be Envied Or Inspire..
To be envied or to inspire??..that is the question. I had a girl told me she used to be jealous of me and I was a bit surprised.. Honestly I’d rather inspire people than to be envied. If people are envious then you have no friends and I only have a few…. always wanted a…

Crime and Violence In These Lake City Streets! But Where Is Our Meteor Man?

Men See You How You SEE Yourself. So Work On You
If you want a man to treat you like a queen, I believe you must already see yourself as a queen and already see yourself as class. I am in my 30s and I didn’t realize this secret until my mid 20s. Lol I would be like, “why am I getting treated like I am…

So What If They Don’t Support You? Don’t Wait On Their Approval! KEEP GOING!
Sometimes I see my friends on social media acknowledge that no one supports them.

Don’t Hate On Other People’s HAPPINESS ! 💏
I did a psychic reading for a client who said they were unhappy because people were getting married and pregnant. You can’t be that way if you want to have that too. You can’t be a hypocrite to not be happy for people but expect them to be happy for you. Hey! I’m not married…
Do People Want What They Can’t Have?

Is this because they don’t know their worth or just love the…
