HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! YOU MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND!

By Inspirational Beauty!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful and Beautiful Mommies out there. No matter where you are, I want you to know, that there is nothing more precious than the assignment that was given to YOU!

You are the bearer of life. Before we ever take our first breath on our own, you share yours with us, you share your space with us, your thoughts, your prayers, your hopes and your dreams for us, before we ever enter this physical space!

You love us without reason, and without prejudice, and once we appear that love Amplifies! No matter how old we become..YOU NEVER LET US GO!

I Thank God that he gave all of us an opportunity to see what sacrifice really means. MOTHERS DO IT ALL, THEY HOLD SEVERAL ROLES....AND ARE COMMITTED TO THE END.

Mothers love us when everyone else walks away, and sometimes when we lose our Mothers too soon, here comes Grandma, and Auntie, And Sis to step right on in.

Today I want to say Thank you, we should cherish you more, we should honor you more, you are truly God's servants, and no matter how hard it has been for you, keep going, because he entrusted you with his own!

Love you Ladies!


As always...

ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD!

Hello Luv's!

Its Saturday night and hope everyone is nice and safe...you know, I was thinking about something my Mom always told me....

"Kim, never go backwards, always move forward!"



By Inspirational beauty!

You know, I have been contemplating several things recently, and have been looking at my past a little. But you know what? Shes right! The past is behind me for a reason....I should embark on new territories, new ideas, form new relationships.

I suggest you do the same, I know how easy it is to look back, because its sooooo familiar(smile), but it needs to stay behind us!

Lets move forward, yes, its scary, but its worth it, because if it was so grand where we were, we would have never left in the first place. Life will always present choices, and options, and its just up to us to take them, but no matter what you choose, always choose to move forward in everything that you do. I am still making decisions about certain things, but I have to be afraid, and just do it anyway!

I know that you can do it too! We are the same, we hope that everything works out for the best, we love hard, we don't always give ourselves credit....well its time to give ourselves credit. Life is short, and we have a lot of ground to cover.....

So remember, forge ahead, and watch the pathway open

As always....love you guys from the inside out!

LADY IN RED.....LIPS...... and WHITE NAILS. (10 photos)

Red or Plum lips are always Fun! Start with a little black wing for the eye, place a light shadow on the lid, and white on the inside of the eye, and add black liner on the lid, on the water line, and a little beneath the lash line to create depth. put a little pink or orange blush on the apples of your cheeks, and add a lip liner onto lips to create the shape that you want. Add a plum or red matte lipstick, then apply a little gloss only to your cupids bow(In the center of your lip) and walah......LADY IN RED! Enjoy. . ..

Men wanna know why "we" ladies don't always say what we mean.

By Inspirational Beauty!

Believe it or not...MEN ARE AT A COMPLETE LOSS LADIES WHEN IT COMES TO US!(smile).

Ok guys I wanted to share a Conversation I had with one of you, and I just wanted to share just in case it may help someone.....enjoy!

3:56am

John

Question 4 u Kim , why do women say things out of anger , then once it's too late say they didn't mean it ?

11:50pm

Kimberly Arrington

Hey John!

Lol....lets see..well most times it's because we are at our highest emotional state when we are angry, so boundaries kinda take a back seat at the time...lol..

When we calm down, we are more rational, and then we realize what we said, and that's when we take it back....it ain't right, but that's what happens.

Hopefully as we mature we can think before we speak, but anger is a hard thing to understand.

I hope this helps....

This is a good question, can I place this on the pagefor others?

12:27am

John

Ok Kim , I like that answer you gave and I'm trying to wrap my head around it lol , but of course you can use it and you can use my name if you want.

12:33am

Kimberly Arrington

Yeah..,sometimes the stuff that's said is very hurtful,and we shouldn't say it, but it's best to be with someone who will respect you enough not to say crazy stuff....

12:44am

John

Yeah...... I''ll remember that for my next relationship . That's why I like talking to you , you give good advice.

12:46am

Kimberly Arrington

Aww...you are so sweet....yeah it's a work in progress, just try to see if she is mature, and you will know, especially the way she handles herself when she is upset, that will tell you a lot. 

When a woman is willing to win at all cost, and won't let up, that is a problem.

You need a person who would rather be happy...than right!

I hope that helps John!

I will share more conversations.....remember these are just my opinions, and I always share my personal thoughts as a person who has matured over the years.

As always....luv u guys....

There is a difference between talent and purpose

By: Inspirational Beauty

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALENT AND PURPOSE!

I can sing.....Talent

I can Dance....Talent...

I can Write...Talent..

I INSPIRE.....MY PURPOSE!!

God has given all of us talent, and more importantly PURPOSE!

Talent usually serves you, but PURPOSE SERVES THE WORLD!

It flows through you like water, it is put inside you before the foundations of the world. It is there for this time, for this season, for this world. I know that my PURPOSE is to INSPIRE YOU, and to remind you who you are, and who you belong to.

To help you know that you are not your situation, or your past, or your current state if its not seving you.

Just because we are good at something, there is something that we are GREAT AT...example....I could probably write anything because I have a kids imagination, and it would probably be fun...but my IMPACT would be greater felt through INSPIRATION BECAUSE I WAS MADE FOR THAT!

"I sit on this speaker , and it holds my entire body weight, and I am using it as a chair....but it is not a chair! Therefore not using it for its highest good, because it was not designed to be a chair". T.D.JAKES

You are designed for something very specific....you know what it is! YOU ARE READY!

As always...

I. Beauty!

Be like an Eagle.......

God often uses his very own creatures to describe his character.... The Lion, and the Eagle are used most frequently!

You see the EAGLE is the King of all Birds, not because he fly's the highest above all other birds, not because of his wing span, not because he sits high, not even because of his solitary ways.....and all those things are to be marveled at....but because of his VISION!!

You see, the Eagle has a vision that no other bird or animal has, the scope of what he sees in the distance is uncanning.(He sees up to ten miles ahead of him, his eyes act as a scope).

Therefore never making decisions out of panic, out of need, or desperation.

He sees from all angles, and he can sit back and watch things unfold, and when the time is right, he swoops in without consequence with such beauty and grace and get whats his.

You see it is known throughout history that A "Man" A "Community" "Country" or etc without a VISION WILL PERISH!

I suggest that you get a VISION for yourself, and align yourself with others that have a similar vision. If a bird was given that ability, you have it to, for you were made in the Image of the CREATOR HIMSELF!

When you have a vision, you anticipate moves, you don't have to come from need or greed, because you see that the landscape will provide all that you need.....widen your lense, stop thinking like a chicken, he only sees whats in front of him.

He cant help it, its who he is, but we(HUMANS) have the capacity to soar, to see without seeing, to get assistance from others.... Let the truth be your guide....Go up to higher ground, where the air is better, where you can be one with nature, where your inner voice can be heard, and look up to the sky, and depending on where you are, you may see one of these majestic birds in flight...They are a sight to see, and heaven to behold.

BE LIKE THE EAGLE....Soar....... Learn to see from all angles, and when you do anxiety leaves, trust and confidence will replace it...you don't have to scrounge , or just exist....open yourself to the possibility that GODS VISION FOR YOU IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN YOURS!!!

As always...

If its meant to be...it will be!

By Inspirational Beauty

I'm back! Lol

Do you believe in Divine Intervention? Well...I certainly do. You know, there are just some people that are supposed to cross your path! It doesn't matter if you are in another city, state, country, or if you go the other way when you see them. 

If it is meant ....IT WILL HAPPEN . I just talked to someone whom I consider to be a person that I would only get to know from afar, through articles, through the lens of my camera, and from history books......and I was going to leave it there.

But me, being the little stubborn thing that I am, I couldn't leave well enough alone, and decided to write this Gentleman a note, telling him who I was, and that I was very appreciative of him inspiring me from afar. I then explained that I love to Inspire and motivate others, and would love to speak with him.

Ok....so I knew that wasn't gonna happen.....who am I? Why would he want to contact me? So I went on with my day, and later I see I received a message in my inbox.....AND IT WAS HIM!!!

I couldn't believe it, not only did he thank me for reaching out, but he gave me a direct line to contact him and speak with him personally. 

My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I began to stumble over my thoughts....What WAS I GOING TO SAY TO HIM?

Long story short, I didn't contact him immediately, my insecurities took over for the day, so I decided I would call him the next day.....the next day comes, and guess what? The insecurities won again! Damn....lol

How could this be? How could I run from the very thing that I wanted so much? Well..... I took a deep breath, called the number, it rang three times, and then I heard

"Hello"

And the rest was history...he was so gracious, and warm, and inspiring, and had to take a meeting, but he even called me back! We talked for about 45 minutes, and he gave me some great insight, and was so giving with his knowledge, and he was willing to shares with me, I could hear the excitement in his voice.

Let me tell y'all something right now! If there is someone you want to meet, or something you want, go for it, these people are waiting to give of themselves, to share, to help, to inspire, to impart wisdom, and to mentor you.

He didn't help me because he was looking for me......I SOUGHT HIM OUT! Step out of your comfort zone, and you will be surprised to see who is there willing to help assist you in this thing called life.

God is truly amazing, and I know that it is him, that leads me beside still waters, it is he, that provides manna from heaven. In my darkest days and sleepless nights, he will calm the tides. Trust in him, and trust your instincts,...you ain't gotta be perfect, just be you!

As always....

What is your love language?

Do you need to hear the words?

Do you need to be touched?

Do you need to just spend time?

Are you a doer?

Find out what you need, and share this information with the one you love, and find out their love language...

Also find out your children's love language.

Do they need time, affirmation, touch, or doing, find out...you will be amazed how this will help.

Just food for thought.

Beautiful Chaos

By: Inspirational Beauty
 Randomness. . . .  ..

 Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone out there that really knows me. Do you ever feel that way? Sometimes all I hear are the words going around in my own head . Something like a washing machine...  .hmmm. I wonder if you feel that way to.

Sometimes the world can be a lonely place, even when youre in a room full of people. When you are so introspective you tend to over think at times. but mostly, you just feel misunderstood. Im not sure quite why, but you do. At this moment, all I can hear is the silence....but its not peaceful like it usually is. Its like the calm before the storm.

I can almost feel it bubbling beneath the surface, and I want to stop it before it starts. I am a slave to my own thoughts at this moment, trying to revel in the silence, but stop the wave as it begins to roar.

Is everything I'm experiencing worth it? Are all the losses meant to be replaced? Do I continue to believe that my life will change? Do I wait on my bliss to find me?

Hell.... I am not of this world at times, I go against the grain. The very thing that excites me, pains me. I am a burden to my own existence. I am everything and nothing at all. I am but a little spec, and as large and  self serving as the Ocean.

I am amazed by the thought of this all coming to an end, my tears will dry up as salt as I continue to harden just to make it another day. Random thoughts will continue to dance across the screen of my mind. I will continue to give myself completely to my thoughts, I will continue to live in the gray. Until someway ...somehow.....my rhythm returns....

As always. . . .love you guys from the inside out!

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU'RE WORTH....ENTREPRENEUR'S

Inspirational Beauty

February 6

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU'RE WORTH....ENTREPRENEUR'S 

1. "YOU" have to set the standard for what is acceptable to "Y.O.U" 

Be able to explain "who" you are, "what" you provide, and WHY YOU ARE DIFFERENT!!!!! If you cannot explain why you are different go back to the drawing board, that is your biggest tool to get customers! 

2. "YOU" have to be honest with yourself, and understand your price should be in accordance with what service you provide. Check the market for similar services and be in the middle or on the top of pricing, don't price too low, because people will associate that with the quality of your product.

(Example, if you sell hamburgers, you can charge between 1-12.00 generally because that's what the market allows, and it makes sense to customers, noone is going to pay 200.00 for your hamburger, so the value must be there.)

3. Do something different or unique that will justify your price, if you cant explain why, then its not fair to charge that amount. it is not fair to your cusomer to pay, because you "FEEL" you are worth it. "EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE.... AND THE BENEFITS HAVE TO BE SOMETHING FOR THEM!!!!!!!

4. Once you have established that you are unique, professional, efficient, and flexible to meet their needs, you know must RAISE YOUR PRICE!!!!!

5. YOU NOW HAVE THE WHAT IT TAKES TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT GETTING WHAT YOU REQUIRE BECAUSE NOW YOU KNOW YOU DESERVE IT! NOW...... ASK.......ASK....ASK!!

AS always. . . .

Note to men......

Inspirational Beauty

February 5

NOTE TO MEN

When you are in a committed relationship and you have stepped out emotionally with another Woman, understand that whether it progresses to physical or not, the circle of trust has been compromised.

If and when this does happen, if you respect your mate, and what you two have built together cut off contact with this other female. No you can't be friends!

Not because you don't have the right to be, but because it hurts the person you love and who shows you love in return.

This is the difference between someone who is Mature, and someone who is not. We all make mistakes, but its how you handle things before there is no turning back.

If you need someone to talk to, talk to your woman, and if you can't talk with her, try talking to a third party that support you both, because that woman in the street, will take away all of your comforts in a matter of minutes, when it took you years to build with someone who has your back.

Guys. . . .I know it's hard to deal with us sometimes, but look at your options, feeling a little discomfort now, or a world of loss and pain later...

These are just my thoughts..... As always, love you guys from the inside out.

Ever felt out of place?

Inspirational Beauty

Monday

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just couldn't be yourself? 

You couldn't show how intelligent you were, or kind, or forgiving you were , because the people around you would think you were soft?

Have you ever felt out of place, and misunderstood?

Have you ever wanted more than what people or life was offering you? 

Have you ever loved someone who didn't love you back? Have you ever been smarter than your own Supervisor?

I think a lot of us could answer yes to these questions, and my answer would be to recognize that Bone, right in the center of your back, and USE IT!

YES.....YOUR BACKBONE .......AND CHANGE THESE SITUATIONS.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO bE BETTER BECAUSE THE ONES AROUND YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT,

The worst thing in anyone's life is to not use their gifts, or feel they can't,because their friends will think less of them...

Well, you can be my Friend!

I want you to be The best, be better than me......you can lift me. And challenge me. We have all wasted too much time living a life that no longer fits us. We have outgrown it....

So the next time you feel uncomfortable, unleash and be the real you with no exception, no apologies.....I can't wait!

As always...

Thank you my Beautiful African Queens!

Updated on Tuesday

Hey Beautiful's!! Today I asked for a little help, and asked for some help on what to speak about today. So a wonderful young man suggested I speak about The Beauty and Elegance of The Black/African Queen, and how our beauty courses through our vein even currently. WOWWWW. . .I felt like a breath of fresh air was released in the room. I totally agree. I think we all need to remember that we were once QUEENS, and we ruled Dynasties. WE were the first mother, the first help mate, the first supporter, the first QUEEN!!! I love that a Black Man stated"I think it's just as important for African American women to see themselves the way that I do, and not get caught on considering themselves to be the baddest bitch rather the strongest Queen!" M.H. Thank you Brother. . . .so with that being said,lets see these positive images of where we come from, because that is who we are Ladies! I beauty!
