About shalilah2002

Love music especially rhythm and blues. I also like organizing and have a blog giving organizingtips. There are many things and interests I have too many to mention here. However I will tell more about myself later.

A Little About Me

I found myself and I really like me. Hating and jealousy makes me miserble.  I say to myself everyday that I am blessed.  To some I have a lot and to some a little.  I ts a lot to me.

There was a time in life that I had less.  I was in a rut but I knew I would have more someday I do now.  I can go shoping and do other things. I have a problem though.  I can,t seem to walk around my nèighberhood  I was met by some dogs one time.  I didn,t get or anythng but I have to get enough courage and build up energy and confidence

I don,t know why I have anxiety panic episodes but I know that I will come out of it.

 

 

 

 

So where am I

I am in the proçess of organizing or just getting rid of junk.  I never thought I would get rid of makeup but here I am sorting and realize some are, old or just to dark or I never use.

After my husband pointed out that the makeup was to dark or dripped under my eyes I decided less is more.

However I also donated or threw away  clothes and other things.  I still have more work to do.  I do this whenever my rooms began to look  like a goodwill store.  I feel better now and hopefully I won,t shop and replace these thngs that I don,t need.

Good day and here,s to minimum.

This Is Me

I haven,t posted in a while.  I could not seem to get it together.  However I decided to just write whatever.  Please forgive me if I make errors.  I decided to take the day off and not to worry about housework or hobbies that I call tools for stress.

I will eventually go out and look in the stores and reward myself with fast food.  I do this about once a week.  It keeps me from feeling like a recluse that doesn,t know what,s going on in the world.  The tv gives me some insight and news.

I have learned not to always bèlieve what I read about the stars.  I noticed that these so called beautiful and rich people marriages don,t last long.  So I try not to copy them but learn from them.

I think Jada Pinket Smith has a lot of depth to her as well as beàuty and I admire a few others in the news.  I admire Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi.  Also Michelle Obama.  I am reading her book, Becoming Me

Well I have to close now but must tell you that I càn be fragile but become strong and rise above things.

 

 

Ending & Beginninģ

So the yeaŕ is ending.  I look at it as anticipating the new year.  I have been practing the tools for health.  Theu are  exercise,  grooming like everyday fixing my hair and makeup and eatting healthy, also lose weight.

I play my keyboard to relieve stress.  I must confess I look to the stars and enjoy the fashions and different looks.  I am a senior citizen but sometimes inside  I feel young.  Even so I am no Cardi B or black China I can find something in me that is like them.  I keep up with the tomes.

I think politics is crazy even though I look at CNN everyday and the news.  I realize that America is divertsified nation.  I pray that I don,t hate but understand.

Goodby for now and have a prosperous New Yeaŕ.

The nation and Looking On

I have become negative an depressed sometimes panicky. I think it is awful for a person to cry inside feeling helpless.

I tlold myself not to turn on the news today. Iam nervous listening to it. What has my country become , politicins stabing each other, shootings in school, malls, and driveby shootings.  Then bo,mbing places or shooting people because they are worshiping i n a place they choose and are a diferent race.

Can I get some feedback to give me hope.bless you .

 

Fun and serious

I usually write serious.  However I like fun things like makeup, fashion, and shopping.  Yesterday I went to the Dollar store and hamburger stand.  It was a major step for me.  I hadn,t planned to go, have to do this and that.  I just decided to get together in about 20 minutes and went out.  I stopped what I call my ocd and it worked.

Now I can stay in and do some things.  At the present time I am watching Hoarder.  I am taking things out of drawers and throwing them away.  At the end of summer -when the weather is cool I will be donating clothes.  That show has that effect on me. Well have a great day.  I think I,ll play some music.  Kelly Clarkson and Aretha Frànklin.
