They're great to wear all year round. In the winter, wear colored stockings are fishnets under them. You can see the pop of color peeping through the holes, I love it. Jeans are so freaking cool, I think every woman no matter the age should own a pair. Take a look inside and be inspired by some of my favorite picks.

You can wear a white T-shirt, sweater, denim jeans and last but not least some sexy and comfy white boots.

Queen Spirit “Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 1 Peter 1:8 (Lean on, trust and believe in him, smile and let your QUEEN light shine! Queen Spirit, To Be or Not To Be Spiritual It is your choice. However, coming full circle with oneself should include a spiritual side. I call it Queen Spirit. Having a spiritual side can help you find ways to deal with life’s roadblocks, and it can help you become more mindful, sympathetic, and empathetic. It may also help quiet your mind and soul from negativity. With spirituality comes prayer and meditation. Along with reading your daily bread , prayer can bring relaxation and faith, along with healing and feelings of hope, gratitude, and compassion. All of these can have positive effects on your inner peace and health. Meditation is also relaxing. It helps clear the mind and improves focus and concentration. In addition, a spiritual side also helps foster spiritual fellowship, and it improves your well-being. For example, joining a support or meditation group and attending or joining a church. Furthermore, finding social support, in general, may provide a sense of belonging, security, and community. On my final note, having a Queen Spirit may help you live a fulfilled and balanced life.

After reading her suggested scriptures and original material, I hope the takeaway here will be moving and uplifting for you. Prayer Changes Everything James 5:13-18: Healing prayer and the effectiveness of the prayers of the righteous Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

Working Women In the workplace, the world is increasingly recognizing the contributions of women in all walks of life. We have learned that even though more women have joined the workforce around the world, their role as women of the house and homemakers hasn’t diminished. Today’s women aren’t just balancing a lot, they’re working hard at their jobs, they're helping to build businesses and they're creating and building their businesses. They're planning big things for our future generations. To add, women are more likely than men to encourage other women to pursue traditionally male-dominated fields and take on leadership roles in the workplace but whatever job you work whether it is a 9-5 like myself or owning a business like my husband, love what you do and if you don’t; turn it around and make it work for you until you find something better. Have a plan, set goals, clear your mind, be positive and if you believe in prayer, pray daily. I can testify that prayer changes everything. I'm in the travel industry now for over 24 years and working for the same company. With many great benefits, a family-like atmosphere, and through the ups and the downs, I've decided to plant my feet there for now. With that being said, I'm thankful that I have staying power. It looks good on your credit report and your application when applying for a job or trying to rent or buy a home. I'm a 3-time homeowner and it couldn't of happen if I was going from job to job and messing up my credit. Jobs do not come by easily, regardless if you're working at a fast-food restaurant or you're an Entrepreneur, remember to never burn bridges and to be thankful. My husband is a successful Entrepreneur of 14 plus years. Owning a business is not easy he says, it comes with lots of blood, sweat, and tears. I'm learning from him that prayer, time, dedication, and love for your customers and business are all you need to stay afloat; after that, everything else falls into place. I'm looking forward to helping him with his business so that it can become more successful. Lastly, if you have a 9 to 5 like me or a legit side hustle; remember there’s someone without. They're out there pounding the pavement each day wishing they had one. Everyone needs a roof over their head, has bills to pay, and mouths to feed. Stay focused, handle your business, grind hard, and get that money Queen! No matter what, even if you have to start from the bottom to get to the top, always aim high and reach for the sky! Please see below some tips on how you can prepare for your workday. Get Ready For The Day Get in the right mindset. Practice prayer and meditation daily. Plan your day. Prioritize your tasks. Squeeze 10 min of exercise. Exercising before heading out to work can be an effective way to energize your mind and body so you're ready to face the day. Eat a healthy breakfast. Set Goals Focus on what you can control and have a plan for the rest. Get clarity on your team's structure. Go beyond immediate tasks and think of the big picture. Get clarity on what goal achievement would look like. Think about your career path in the long run. Schedule periodic check-ins. Talk to your boss. Always Reach High When we start small, we can plan early successes that will inspire us and motivate us and encourage us to keep going. If we try to achieve too much at the start and fail it can be demotivating. Don't give up, just keep going. Over time, small successes and improvements can accumulate into big successes Use Your Resources In order to stay in business and manage an enterprise and achieve the desired outcome. You must use your resources. The three most basic resources are land, labor, and capital, other resources include energy, entrepreneurship, information, expertise, management, and time. VIEW MORE

So I will just get straight to the point! I tried to kill myself but thank God I was saved and I'm here today to fulfill my dreams and to be here for the loved ones in my life. I realize that I am a child of God, I am a Queen, I have a purpose, I do matter, and I am beautiful, gifted, and talented! Thank God and Thank God for my family, my friends, prayer warriors, medication, and therapy. I asked you today, what does mental illness look like? It looks like you, me, and anyone in the world. I have attempted suicide a couple of times in my life and as early as my childhood, I suffered from mental illness. I never knew why or what was happening to me. I've had some very happy moments in my life and I've had some very traumatic moments too. Even when I'm happy, mental illness strikes, and for no apparent reason. In the past, I couldn't understand it, it was unexplainable, an ongoing battle from therapy to hospitalization. After several years of going through this, finally I went to see a specialist and was clinically diagnosed. Now I understand in my life what I need to do to make sure that I am well and safe. If you suffer from mental illness please get help it's no joke. If you know someone who suffers from mental illness, I'm asking you today to be sensitive to what you say to people who are mentally ill, it could trigger them. Be kind, be patient, be thoughtful, and don't judge them. Instead, love them, support them, and get them help. We are not exempt from mental illness. While some experience mental illness only once in their life (depending on the illness, environment, life stressors, and genetics), others battle mental illness for the rest of their lives. Some of us think that we don't have a problem and truly believe that everyone else is the problem. Unfortunately, these myths and illusions force us to suffer in silence and not seek treatment. Mental illness affects everyday functional people, and it's not limited to the homeless man talking to himself. It impacts a person’s emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. Afro-Americans suffer from mental illness just like their white counterparts. Afro-Americans are more likely to be at risk for developing a mental condition than any nationality. In fact, when you think of everyday stressors, systematic racism such as police brutality, education and health care gaps, and sexism that impacts Afro-American women. This is a perfect time to shed light on what many deem a nonexistent problem. Schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder, bulimia, ADHD, OCD, and social anxiety are examples of mental illnesses that people battle daily. Mental illness is just as serious as any other disease and those affected by it should not be judged or outcast. Mental illness is a flaw in brain chemistry, not a character flaw, a rich people problem, or a white people problem. Don't be part of the problem, get educated and help someone today! Please scroll down and see the list of people who have committed suicide or have tried. Please also scroll down to see images of them as well. May they find healing and may they rest in peace!

Maura McGee Hello, my fellow cancer warriors. My name is Maura McGee from the UK. In March 2015, I was terminally diagnosed with stage 3, advanced melanoma skin cancer, and was told I had three months to live. With so many things going on in my life, I had to build resilience. I needed to dig deep and fight no matter how hard it got, and it was hell, but my biggest inspiration was the love I had for my Mum. She saved my life, along with multiple surgeries and clinical trials I was placed in by Bupa Health Insurance which I received while working for Saab. Although I no longer work for them, I am thankful that I landed the job due to my previous work experience while residing in Virginia. At the roughest times in my life, something always turns up. My Mum said I was born aware, but I think it is called faith. Given the brutal early life my Mum endured and; survived and the domino effect it had on us. I refused to die on her watch. I refuse to let that happen because she has suffered enough. Cancer does not discriminate, and in some way, it affects everyone you know and love. In 2021, I lost a beautiful friend in VA just before Christmas. Another Theresa, better known as Mother T. At only 40 years of age and with a teenage son, battled cancer for 13 years and then lost the battle within weeks. It devastated me. She was one of our tribes! Having lost my Mum to cancer in October of 2019, who was my best friend, her dog Gizmo, who was 17 and a half, and my sister in September of 2020, all within 18 months of my Mums passing, I can say I have been in a dark, dark place, but I feel like I am coming back to the light. I owe it to my Mum, my sister sitting in the picture next to me, and all the cancer patients. They were taken away early from this life, where we live, love, and feel everything. When you have lost a loved one, grief is an extraordinary feeling that will stay for a lifetime. Anyone with cancer will tell you that fighting this battle is hard, and many people will quit the clinical trial. I hung right in there and allowed them to give me higher doses. However, they had to stop because it was making my body highly toxic, but it worked just enough to keep me in remission. I go to bed and wake up every day, thanking the universe, God, the moon, and Mother Mary. My life is full of the two ‘Tudes,’ Attitude and Gratitude. The only way to survive this life is to have hope and; faith and to find happiness through it all; you will need an abundance of both. Please see below the pics from the surgeries that I had. Malignant melanoma skin cancer KILLS.! There is still no cure for advanced melanoma, and your survival depends on intrusive surgeries and clinical trial drugs, which can leave you with life-changing side effects. If you are lucky, they will extend your survival rate, but at some point, it will wake up and start to spread again. My groin had to be reopened five months after my first operation to remove all the lymph nodes. Not fun.!! PLEASE use a factor 50 sunscreen with UVA & UVB filters, especially on your children and teenagers. I have never shared my melanoma pictures, but I hope it helps bring awareness of the damage the sun can cause. You can tan, but please do not burn yourself until your skin is red. Tan slowly, it could save your life…..!
