Falling Into Change

As we are now in the Fall season, and ending the month of October, we have reached the last quarter of the year 2021. The last quarter of the year should inspire our ambitions for the future year of 2022.
 
The Autumn season brings on a change.

Interestingly, what are these Autumn signs of changes. In the season, and how do they affect our lives? Whether it's a new career, a new workout, eating healthier, a change is going to come for the betterment of you. The cliche, “A change is good.” I must admit it is true! Changes in life are good but are you ready for a change?
 
The question to ponder about Changes are: What? Where? When? Why?  And  Most of all changes start with yourself, which is Who?
 
Now embrace your future and go be a Game Changer in the world!

Is Orange Your New Black?  
Orange Shirt! Skirt! Pants! Jacket! Dress! Purse! Shoes! Oh my!

Wearing vibrant colors is a vibrant thing especially for melanin skin tones.
 
Do you wear orange only during the Fall season?

Let’s change the narrative on the color orange that it’s too bright or it’s too this or that! You can wear orange any time of any season. Check out DoV’s pictures of fashionistas in orange.

It’s all in the communication of Colloquialism, the under blurred line of words and the meaning of what is being communicated. Remember communication is the key 🔑 so let’s be open-minded to learning word meanings of today. 
 
Put up on game = to give information
DOPE = Cool or Awesome
Salty = Bitter
“The thing is” The Fact or The Truth

Last year Trader Joe's came out with a pumpkin face mask. This light soft scented pumpkin mask is an overnight sensation. This product will remove dead cells, enhance your skin color, and prevent wrinkles. This pumpkin mask does not feel like your ordinary mask leaving your skin dry and tight. For a price of $6.99, it’s affordable and will leave your skin feeling soft and glowing like the sun.

Have you ever wondered what was the ethnicity of someone?

Yes, I can honestly answer that question.
Our society today is a “melting pot” and nowadays everyone is “mixed” with a plethora of some other kind of ethnicity.
In the movie Passing, two women find themselves connected through a conflict of identity of culture. This is a must see movie to understand the history and the reality of Passing in the African American culture.
 
You should take your mother, grandma, daughter, sister, aunts, and cousins to see this movie. Chat it out with the family how Passing in identity affects the African American culture.

The phrase “Do you boo” has become the action of individuals taking control of their lives and looking out for numero uno! 

Is this selfish or is this the new you making moves in your life? 
India Arie’s “Just Do You” is a song to motivate you and sing you to the next level in your life. 
 
“I AM DEFINITELY DOING ME! Sela” 🙏
