First and foremost I'm a God fearing woman. I have a wonderful Fiancee' and a precious little boy named Grayson. I am very ambitious and I believe and can do anything I put my mind to.

An update from 2024 Ashley

 I was looking for google sheets why did I stumble across this blog. It started as a school assignment Fall semester of 2010. Ironically 14 years later. Man I'm gonna need at least 100 more blog posts to explain all that has happened in the last 14 years but here's the abridged version 


I'm currently 37

I have 2 sons. My first baby Grayson is 13, and my youngest baby Gavin is 10.

Lorenzo and I did get married it was a terrible idea and a marriage filled with ups and downs. After 9 years I realized  I was with somebody who I loved but didn't love me. We're divorced now.

I have a stable career in the Federal government. Really the longest job I've ever had. 

More to come but one thing I do know is looking back over these posts especially about lorenzo are cringy as hell.

But also reading over these posts proves to me something that I did not know and its that i am a beautiful writer. The metaphors and my use of words. I remeber writing these sitting at my computer at 1814 St. Paul Lorenzo and I's first apartment where grayson was conceieved and honestly where my life would change forever. 


I looked for Google sheets to start my novel of my life. WELL AUTOBIOGRAPHY LOL. I see I got a 14 year headstart. 



Quirky doesn't mean Weird...Right?

Hello follow Bloggers and Blog reading enthusiasts alike. The intial reason for this blog was a requirement for a general education class in writing, that I was taking at the time. I only fulfilled my two post a week reqirement of post and abandoned my .02 cents shortly there after. I was a transitional point of my life with having my son and finding balance in my newly aquired role...very hard to do but I trekked on. Blog writing can not be forced. You first have to have a passion for writing and creativity, next you have to have something to write about. Finally you have to time, patience, and dedication. There are lots of topics I could talk about but to keep this blog from going all over the place I decided to narrow it down to a few of my passions...which are Natural Hair, Natural Hair products, and makeup tutorials I haven't decidedwhether or not I want to do joint blogs focusing on my home lfe, spirit filled walk with God and parenting for Africans Americans in today's society. This should be fun I'm excited to venture out and try new things to give you a wide spectrum of topics...Keep faith and Happy blogging
