You may have one person go into depression after the loss of a loved one or a heartbreak and then you may have another who will party until the lights go out.  No one can explain heartache, grief, a loss, or disappointment to you. I am sure many people will tell you how you should or shouldn’t feel. What many don't realize is even though they may have suffered any of these, you can’t judge someone because they don’t get through things the way you may do.  You can’t put a time frame on a person that is hurting. As for myself when I am hurting, I choose to be alone and cope with my problems in my own space, and my own time.  Although some may need or choose to be in the company of others why they face heartache or going through a rough patch in their life. Many friends and family have found themselves getting th

Photography By: Felecia Causey My baby was born perfectly normal. I’ll never forget September 15, 2019, I received a phone call that my baby had experienced SIDS and died in her sleep. The EMTS worked on my baby for 20 minutes. MY BABY WAS DEAD FOR 20 WHOLE MINUTES! God allowed my baby to breathe again. But with her brain being without oxygen for that long my baby suffered very bad brain damage and had 3 strokes in the middle of her brain. She went to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham Alabama and they were bluntly honest with me saying my baby wasn’t going to live. US BEING PARENTS WE NOT HEARING THAT ! We kept faith and when they took my baby off life support ,SHE LIVED AND WAS BREATHING ON HER OWN. I know my baby brain was very sick but I didn’t care. Whatever my baby needed WHATEVER WE HAD TO DO WE WAS GOING TO DO IT ! I know she only could live and go through what she was going through for only so long, BUT AS LONG AS SHE WAS HERE WE WERE GOING TO FIGHT TO THE END,

November 2017, I gave birth to my first child that resHi, I’m ShunDerrica Williams, and I’m here to tell my story. November 2017, I gave birth to my first child that resulted in a stillborn. She was 38 weeks, and 6 days. I went into labor with her, not thinking that once I got to the hospital still in full blown labor that my daughter has passed away. The nurses could not detect a heartbeat, and at that moment a part of me left with her. Her name is Saariya Nevaeh Williams, and she has been deceased for 2 years.   I was battling with severe depression that no doctors, family members, medications could help at the time. I thought it was my fault because I sensed something was wrong, but I honestly got tired of the doctors sending me home. I was in and out of the hospital. I really just had to pray and ask God to heal my broken heart. The friends

Written By Felecia Causey Photography By: Felecia Causey Models: Joey and JaZaria Johnson There are many young women that don’t have the luxury of being a daddy’s girl. It’s heartbreaking that to some that she never had the opportunity to go to a father and daughters’ dance, or have that male figure that  shows up at sporting events. Many men do not realize the effect his absence and present will make one day.  She has her mama, and the mother does an amazing job, but yes dad’s love and time does matter. He will be the first man she will ever love. The person she will look to protect her, even when she doesn't feel like she needs to be saved. She will always depend on him for security. He will be the person who will encourage her to take risks, and be adventurous. Girls tend to make their dad have a soft spot. The hard tough black bear, becomes a soft cuddly teddy bear when it comes to his little princess. The influence of a father on their daughter will have

It will make you appreciate your mom.  You will realize all the sacrifices, the rules, and decisions she made, was because she felt it was the best choice for both you and her.  As a young child you don’t understand why she gave the lectures, told you ”no '', or put you on punishment, but “now you get it”. She was trying to mold you into the fighter, and the amazing individual that you are today. You are in a fight against this influential world to help her be better than you. We have all made mistakes, have a past, and have plenty of regrets, but as you have matured, as your role as a mother, has made you make many changes. The beauty of a mother’s love is indescribable

Life can bring you all kind of curve balls. You don't know if you want to laugh or cry. The knowing that you must brush it off and move on, even during the pain is something we have to teach our kids.  Love your son enough to show him that every action doesn't need a reaction. There is so much competition, jealousy, and misunderstanding that can quickly make a situation

Written By: Felecia Causey Photos By: Felecia Causey (Please disregard any mistakes and errors) When marrying into a family, one of the most important things to most people is having a good relationship with their spouse's mother. Many are blessed to have a great connection with her, but others unfortunately have to deal with the woman from hell.  Spouses and significant others sometimes have to tolerate with overbearing, controlling, immaturity, and more while being with the love of their life.  A person can choose a spouse, but not the mother-in-law. (Mother-In -Law =MIL) I've met many people who have shared their stories with me of dealing with the horrors of a MIL, while trying to keep peace within the family. A lot of people are not fortunate to have a good mother-in-law. I was blessed to of had a loving and kind one. She didn't judge me and most times took my side against her son. I could talk about her son to her because as his mot

Written By: Felecia Causey Photography: Felecia Causey Model: Tonia Bibb Rivers We live i n a world where everyone have standards of what a woman should look like. People have their opinions on what makes the ideal lady. Some will think you are to tall or to short, your hair is to nappy or short, your skin is to dark, you're too fat, your breast is  too big or not big enough.  With celebrities bodies set as the standards of what all women should look like, the fight to keep up can be out of control. The world and internet will always find some imperfection or flaw that does not make her perfect. The imperfections and her being different is what makes her an unique individual. I think all women are beautiful. Women are judged in seconds of their value just by their appearance. Every lady may not have long model legs or celebrities' perky breasts, but we have the fight of a lion and the courage of a mother bear.     Everyday as women watch t
