Jae, thank you so much for being on my blog. Please tell my readers and myself who is the woman that speaks the truth(You) is ? Hi Felecia! Thanks for thinking of me for your blog. The me you see on IG is pretty much the me you’d get if you were my BFF. I am a Mother, a wife, a sister, daughter, friend, an advocate, and a gloriously imperfect human!  I’m passionate about helping others (women especially) to learn and live in their authentic self, their unique brilliance if you will. Honoring and living in our genuine self (who God made, not who society has tried to convince us to be) is where our power lies.  **What inspires you for most of these quotes or saying that I see on your Instagram? Either personal experience or the personal experience of those close to me. I share them because, all too often each of us feel like we’re the only one going through something or feeling a particular way, and that’s just not true. We’re all more

Smith and daughter Babies are so cute, and it can become tempting for people to want to interact with them.  Although, many people may see that there is nothing wrong with it, but many parents are very offended and get upset when you do not ask permission to put your hands on their child. It becomes very hard for them to find a nice way to say," don't touch my baby or don't put your lips on them".  You would think something as little as keeping your hands off people's kids, without permission, would be an easy thing, but we live a world where people assume, they can do what they want. It's very ridiculous that a parent have to be vocal to both family members and strangers of what is not allowed.  I have two teenage kids now, but I  remember as babies, their father was very protective, and was not afraid at allowing people to know what

Parents, Coaches, Referees, andTrainers: Remember They Are Just Kids

Written By: Felecia Causey Photography By: Felecia Causey Models: Antonio Griffin Jr., Errionna Burnett, and Lorenzo Harris We are living in a time that so many people take the fun out of sports.  The adults that participates in children's events, sometimes forget that these are just kids. Coaches, referees, trainers, and parents we must remember this at all time.  As the role models and mentors in their life, we must push away the negativity, the favoritism, the cheating, and aggressiveness. Many kids will not obtain a career in sports, but remember there are more lessons to the games than we think. As a parent we are teaching support. As a referee and a coach you are teaching them fairness,  respect for others, and teamwork. As a trainer you are teaching them hard work.  There is more to it than just the ball, the bat, the glove or any of the other equipment the sports require.  As parents we sometimes push them hard in a sport because we want

He Need Me and I Need Him Too

In my eyes he was perfect but I did notice that the right side of his face was a bit bigger than the left, so on his newborn doctor visit I pointed it out to his doctor. His doctor said that sometimes babies lay more on one side and that we would revisit the concern when he turned 3 months old. At his 3 month old visit his doctor told me that he thought is was a malformation, a cyst hygroma to be exact and he also referred me to a Interventional radiologist at a children's hospital. The radiologist confirmed what his doctor thought it was and told me to make an appointment when Bryson turned one because he didn't want to put him through sclerotherapy at such a young age. I was totally fine with that because at the time it didn't pose a threat to his health. We went home and continued on with our lives. October 1, 2018
