It’s Not Just About You

June 1, 2020June 2, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

To be honest with my fellow readers, I didn’t want to post about this. As a black woman, I grew up with a clear indication of the history that came before me. And it’s not something that was taught to me in school because as many others can vouch, black history isn’t taught in a … Continue reading It’s Not Just About You

You Can…

June 2, 2017January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 2 Comments

Sometimes I don't know how to feel. My mind is telling me one thing, but my spirit is telling me another. I push myself to be optimistic, but pessimism lingers. It's only a little bit longer, I know God, but what if that little bit longer isn't what I want? What if the suffering was … Continue reading You Can…

Know Your Worth

November 22, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 2 Comments

Are you the penny rejected in the vending machine? Are you the nickel rolling on the corner of the street? What's your worth? Are you the dime stuffed amid loose change in a wallet? Are you the dollar traded in for a candy bar at the gas station? What's your worth?  Are you the twenty … Continue reading Know Your Worth

What Truly Matters?!

September 18, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 2 Comments

Last Sunday marked the day that our nation was attacked. The day that countless lives were taken. The day that no one expected, but those affected will always remember. They thought they could break us. That their attack would destroy us. That we would never amount to anything more than our fate at that very … Continue reading What Truly Matters?!

You’re Never Alone

September 11, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 1 Comment

Feeling alone is a troubling thing. Many are around, but it feels as if no one is there. No one can help or even cares. Being alone and feeling alone are polar opposites. You can feel alone without being alone and vice versa. Your mind plays tricks on you. It allows you to believe that … Continue reading You’re Never Alone

God! Why Are You Doing This?

September 4, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 4 Comments

You have been struggling. Everything seems grey. Nothing is right. One bad thing and another one follows. You can't get up high before getting knocked down. You think you'll make it past the home plate, but instead, you strike out on the first go round. You're always striking out. It's as if the devil himself … Continue reading God! Why Are You Doing This?

This Is Your Moment

August 27, 2016October 15, 2017 ~ heyujas ~ 5 Comments

Stop making excuses. Stop saying why you can’t. This is your moment. Your moment is now. Brush off the dust and start again. Pick yourself up and follow your life’s journey. If it were easy, it would not be worth it. There would be no satisfaction in doing it. You are capable. You are strong. … Continue reading This Is Your Moment

You Can’t Always Be In Control

August 20, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 2 Comments

I'm not going to lie. This week has been filled with irritation, which has stemmed from the usage of public transportation, relying on someone for the means of getting somewhere, doing something. These past few days have been filled with waiting and hoping (that is that things will be on time and that I won't … Continue reading You Can’t Always Be In Control

The Art of Letting Go

August 14, 2016January 21, 2019 ~ heyujas ~ 9 Comments

We hold on to things that have no place in our lives. Past relationships. Unhealthy connections that hinder more than they nourish. We keep holding on as the baggage begins to accumulate. We add on worrying about the life ahead and pain from something another person has done to us. We add on sorrow from … Continue reading The Art of Letting Go

Merry Christmas from our quirky little family! 🎄👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽🐽🐕
We Bought A House & Got A Puppy?! 🏡🐕 I still can’t believe it! Life has sure been eventful, and I love it! Thank you, honey, for living this wacky 🤪 life with me. I love you soooooo much! 🤗😚☺️
Hubby, you make my life sweeter, funnier and more fulfilled than I ever could’ve imagined. God created a masterpiece that is you on this day, and I am eternally grateful for it! I love you I love you I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!🤗🥳🤗🥳🤗🥳 #itsyourbirthday
Babe 🥰, to call you my own has been the greatest gift I have been given in this life. Selfless. Compassionate. Noble. These are just a few things

I did it! 🥳 The first draft of my second novel is complete! Wow! I started this YA Contemporary novel on June 28th, 2021, and it’s now fully drafted on May 28th, 2022 (exactly 11 months since then). I didn’t plan that, but that’s so incredible considering the years it took me to write my first book. While my first book is my baby and will always have a special place in my heart, I am so excited for where my second book will go. So now, here’s where the hard work starts. But like I said when I got to 50,000 words, I want to remember this moment. On this day, my second novel is fully drafted at over 72,000 words, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for it! If you would like to be a #betareader (someone who can look over my work and give me input), please don’t hesitate to DM me! #writingcommunity #amwriting #ya
