Plus Size Militia.

by Jamila Pierre

Welcome to the first post of the year 2014!

 

New Year's Eve, and all days from two weeks prior leading up to the day most people look forward to, are filled with contemplations, reflections, and social media time-lines that may very well drive a person mad (due to the repetition).

Everyone and their mother wants to express their desire to change for the better in the new year and declare it as "Their Year".

Uh uh uh, before you mistaken my mini rant that is about to take place for "Hatertude", please take a moment to try and understand where I’m coming from.

Before I continue on let me be clear in saying; everyone is entitled to express themselves how they see fit, everyone is allowed to claim their life and declare their desire to change for the better in the new year...I just need for people to start living up to their potential.

This is very easy for anyone to say of course, I am no exception...I too need to get my ISH together; which is why I decided years ago that if I’m going to make a declaration of change...an actual effort to change and improve...then I wouldn't be the person who hoards that improvement for the end of a year, only  to show the most minimal stick-to-itiveness possible after the first week following the New Year and reverting back to the same BS I wanted to believe so desperately I was going to change.

As far as I’m concerned, everyday is New Years and chance to be better...do better.

Don't take another second for granted.

A Stroll In The Park.

by Jamila Pierre

This day was such a beautiful spring day. It was warm with a little bit of a cool bite, which  warranted a thin jacket. I went with my lightweight anorak in olive that I purchased from H&M a few years back. I also felt it fit to wear an easy floral dress that I purchased from Target a few years back as well. I used to wear this dress to death and surprisingly it has stood up to the "Abuse".  I finished the look off with my black leggings and my trusty tall boots, which is yet another staple in my wardrobe that I "Abuse" on the regular.

I took a stroll with my mother and my most favorite little baby, Jackie (the dog). This dog is seriously just the most special, kindest, cutest, full of personality creature of all time. we went to the park near my home and just sat in silence, just basking in the sun and breeze.

The combination of the temperature, breeze, and spring scent, just gave me a feeling of gratitude for being alive and well enough to experience it.
