The Ghetto State of Mind

                     The Ghetto State of Mind  The Ghetto state of mind is an intriguing concept. In my hometown this mind set is on an upscale. It has always been there but in the last 5 years its grown rampantly like wildfire. The ghetto state of mind comes in all colors and nationalities. You can identify it by how someone carries themselves and by their words and actions and how they treat others.   Let us explore this unaesthetic mind set.  This mind set is at one of the lowest mindsets. In this mindset the person always has to be right, always gets their way. Putting their needs first is always on their agenda. Some examples are screaming and honking at an elderly to cross the street as opposed to a more noble mindset of going out of your way to help an elderly person cross the street. This mindset is also displayed by not letting people merge on the highway knowing that now they will now have to exit. In some states not merging is against the law but it is just human decency tha

                How to Become A Spiritual Baddie


   Yes I said it, Bad-Ass. Lately on the best sellers list, there are a lot of books with this bad-Ass theme. I really like them even though some of the titles have crude language. I personally have never been a fan of cussing or crude language but I am giving a pass on being a bad-ass because it's not extreme and it gives it a little bit of a punch to the concept. By the way, Ass is mentioned several times in the bible, referring to a donkey...


       I really like the Bad-Ass themed books because they tend to deal with a issue I struggle with a lot. Being a people pleaser. So I welcome these books in my life. I am a quiet person that in the past wanted to be perceived as being very nice and agreeable, go with the flow kind of person. I wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible. Being a "nice" person has really kicked me in my "ass", and I am really sick of it.  Whenever I do stand up for myself I usually generate more respect from others. I am tired of being a nice person and from on now will be a Spiritual Bad-Ass.


    You may be wondering what is A Spiritual Bad-Ass anyway? She is like a Spiritual superhero that is kind yet stands her ground. She is has wisdom and grace. She's got the fruits of the holy spirit gleaming off of her, so she is radiant and other people can notice that glow. That super-ass glow!



   Here are 8 ways you can start being a Spiritual Bad-Ass too..

1. Dress the Part
Spend a little time in the morning wearing what makes you confident. It will give you that extra confidence. Wear something that is you, that makes you feel like you can take on the world. You can be a bad-ass in a flower sun dress! Whatever style that makes you feel good.

2. Prayer Warrior 
To truly be a bad-ass there is going to be battles to be warred. Being on your knees continually in prayer and battling against all of Satan's schemes. Staying in God's word and not getting sidetracked by what popular culture says is politically correct.  


3. Godfidence
Godfidence is knowing God is in control and knowing your situation will turn out for the best. Knowing you have God's favor written all over you. Knowing you are chosen and a Child of God. You are royalty and that you have a supernatural shield following you wherever you go. You have a special purpose that God designed in you. She does not compete with other women knowing she is beautiful and can appreciate someone else's talents and beauty while not devaluing her own.

4. Kindness/Humble
Being kind and helping others and encouraging others to build them up instead of tearing them down. Letting others praise you instead yourself. Not doing things out of selfish gain and trying to exploit others. A bad-ass Spiritual person has a smile on their face instead of a scrunched up resting b. face.

5. Being Assertive
We should strive to be kind but we shouldn't let others turn us into a door mat either. Being kind but firm when we have to. Not letting others disrespect us. Speaking up and saying things like, No, i don't want to do that. Or speaking up about whatever issue you want to express that some one is taking advantage of you. A Bad-Ass women recognizes the red flags of a toxic relationship or work place etc.. and does not stay with those people or places. Can you say, Run Forest Run. She know how to say no and to give her best yes.




6. Follows her dreams
She follows her dreams and has vision of it. She doesn't let anyone discourage her from it and she tackles it and believes her dreams will come true. She never settles and dreams big. She is pursuing her talent given abilities that God has given her. 




7. Gets up From Setbacks
A Bad-Ass is not perfect and makes mistakes. Probably a whole lot of them and fails a lot. She learns from her mistakes and still decides that these mistakes to not define who she is as a person. She gets back up after and lets God's grace cover her. She doesn't give up and keeps fighting the good fight.


8. Self Care
Even thought she takes care of others she makes a priority of taking care of herself. If you are depleted and run down how can you effectively take care of others? She schedules massages or little get-aways or reads a book. Whatever self care you need and do it on a regular basis. You deserve it because you are a Bad-Ass! 


Please comment and suggest what are some more ways to be a Bad-Ass.

Blessings!

                            Is it Ok to be Gay?                                                                  It depends on who you are asking? If you ask your best friend, she may be ok with it. You sister may give you all the reasons why it is good and acceptable to be gay. Certainly social media has given it's thumbs up and has promoted it in movies and tv shows etc..     Although when it comes down to it, does it matter to you who you are asking this question to? If you are asking the question to God. Not the "universe, or buddah, mother earth".  If you are interested in wanting to know what the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob yeaaaah, that one thinks, then keep reading.                                                                                          First of all the reason, I am even writing on this subject is because I have been studying the book of Romans in the new testament. I am not a super fan of controversial subjects.

Leggings Leggings Leggings!!!        Where do I start? Leggings and Skinny Jeans started coming about around 10 years ago I think. I was in my early 30's and it seemed it was very trendy with the teens and college aged. I'm not for one to jump on the any trend wagon that comes around and I tried on maybe one Skinny Jeans back then and said "No Way". Not with my Pear Shaped,booty shakn body!  It's just not going to work! No problemo. Lots of people were still wearing other types of pants. One of my best friend's had the same body type as me and wore some body hugging boot cut jeans and always looked sexy. So that was my go to jeans for forever!          Ok maybe not forever! Year after year more people starting wearing them. Some how it didn't really bother me that much, I was very content in my boot leg world.  I am not super fashionable but like to look nice and somewhat like from this century. I think I had a quick moments thought  about 5 years
