I’m Still Here

July 26, 2021December 6, 2021 ~ heyujas ~ 4 Comments

I’m hesitant to share certain aspects of my personal life on social media, but I have this gut feeling this story will help someone. So, I’m going to bare my soul. It’s been hard lately. Since 2020 began, COVID attacked two of my family members, my last grandparent to live on this earth passed away, … Continue reading I’m Still Here

This influencer is a wonderful human being who loves God and is constantly spreading love and encouragement to people around the globe. What shocked me was not the love she showed the gay community … Continue reading Hollywood and Flaming Christianity

2 Easy DIY Collages

June 15, 2020June 14, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ 1 Comment

The great thing about these two DIY collages is that I used resources I had on hand. Now, I will say that I love arts and crafts, so my stock of craft materials might be more plentiful than others. However, you can find most of these items at your local dollar store. I wanted to … Continue reading 2 Easy DIY Collages

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

There Is No Greater Love

May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

Memorial Day is so much more than just a holiday for folks to kick their feet up and relax. There are freedoms that we are blessed with that were paid with a price. And this price just so happened to be death. Many men and women have put their lives on the line so that … Continue reading There Is No Greater Love

I am writing this to you. Yeah, I’m talking to you. You feel lost and out of control. The world as you know it is changing, and your livelihood is being impacted day by day. You’re mad, frustrated and angry. And all you want to do is escape. You told yourself on New Year's Day … Continue reading This Is For You

Step Out Of The Box

April 27, 2020April 14, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

I used to think that I couldn’t speak with the same level of authority as those that have been involved in ministry and are more knowledgeable and wiser than I am when it comes to God’s word. I wasn’t proactive in coming up with innovative ideas or concepts, and I definitely wasn’t the first to … Continue reading Step Out Of The Box

Here’s the second one: The Not-So White Lie My mom told me not to open the hallway door before she left for work, but the shiny green lock is tempting me. “It’s nothing, Sara.

I May Feel Fear, But I Won’t Live In It

April 6, 2020April 6, 2020 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

In a season of uncertainty, how can I not be afraid? In a time where the world is at odds, how can I not feel scared and at a lost for words? Having Christ in my life doesn’t change those feelings because I am human just like anyone else. And being a person who is … Continue reading I May Feel Fear, But I Won’t Live In It

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
Summertime Camera Roll 🎥☀️🍉☺️ #summervibes #summer2022
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
