Keep It Moving Forward








If you are like me, you probably have a signature color and somewhere in pretty much every ensemble you can find a touch of that color. My signature color is red. I love the color red. This may sound a little over the top but I actually own 16 pairs of red shoes. These are all different styles including heels, flats, boots, sandals, and even sneakers.

I’ve noticed that a lot of divas are afraid to experiment with colors. For example we were preparing to go out for a night of dancing and my friend wasn’t sure what she wanted to wear. She was insistent that she just had to wear black shoes no matter what she was going to wear. There is nothing wrong with black shoes I have a plethora of them myself. However I also believe that colors make much more of a statement. One of the outfits in question was a beautiful turquoise top and a white skirt. Red would have complimented the ensemble well. She looked at me…me…and says “I don’t think that’s going to look right”. I was thinking to myself this is some buffockery that she will even question my fashion opinion. I simply said “ok” because I considered my audience and realized that there are some battles not worth the fight. I wear red with turquoise all of the time but because I also have a bright and very bold personality I pull it off well.

A confident diva will put on a daring color and work it out!! I believe that a fabulous pair of red shoes can prove complimentary to almost any look. The key is definitely accessorizing. You will have those less fashionable diva posers who will question your ensemble but when you give them a once over and you will typically notice that they are a little fashion backwards. They will not because they cannot relate to someone who is fashion forward!!

Life: Complacency takes residence in our lives without warning, without notice, and without permission. Most of the time we don’t even realize that we’ve become complacent in our situations, until someone else brings it to our attention. You can become complacent in family situations, platonic friend relationships, and most often intimate personal relationships. We get comfortable in knowing that the person on the other side of the relationship will be there no matter what. That’s not always the case. When you are the one feeling like you are being taken for granted or unappreciated you consider making adjustments to your life to alleviate that feeling. The severity of those adjustments will vary from person to person and situation to situation. Keri Hilson talks about this adjustment period in one of her songs. We all have a “Breaking Point”!! Question is are you going to wait until the other person reaches their breaking point to make changes or are you going to “Keep It Moving Forward” all of the time?? Waiting until they reach the breaking point can possibly mean that your changes will go unwanted and unappreciated. Sometimes it’s too little too late!! Keep It Moving Forward all of the time and you won’t have to worry about these kinds of issues!!

Remember being a diva is more than just a title, it’s a way of life!!
