What a sweet, simple JOY.

"My mother is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."
-The smell of Noxzema reminds me of my mother. When I was growing up she would put it on her face EVERYDAY. Sometimes, she would walk around and forget she had it on :).
-Her makeup was/is always perfect and beautiful.

-Every time I am sick I wish I had my mother to take care of me. No matter how well someone looked after and pampered me...I would secretly be wishing for my mom.
-Sometimes when I'm hungry and don't know what sounds good...I miss being able to say "Mom, what should I eat?" in a very whiny voice...and then going "Will you fix me a snack?"
-She read to my every morning until I was probably 11. She would read me all of my chapter books(YES, I just said chapter books:) Since then, I don't think I have enjoyed a book that much. On occasion I can even remember exactly what her voice sounded like as my narrator and the smell of the black coffee she would be drinking.
-If we ever didn't have a good day together, she would wake me up in the middle of the night to apologize to me.
-She would snuggle me whenever I needed and never let me leave the house without an "I love you."
I would also like to take this day to shine light on another wonderful mother, my BEAUTIFUL Kiari! She, like my own mother, is a wonderful photographer. She is doing a great favor for her little Caela by documenting her life in photos.
I love you Kiari, you are a bright star in my life!!
PLEASE check out her AMAZING photos on her blog: Kiarisafari

Really, truly, honestly...

loving yourself is a gift some never find in there entire existence. I wish for you a much different outcome for your life, whoever you are, wherever you are.

Your flesh, bones and the blood that runs through your veins belong to YOU. Take good care and be conscious of your body, always.

By loving both your body and mind you will naturally project positive energy. People will love you as you love yourself.


Don't waste time.
Know your roots.
Shake what your mama gave you.
