What's all the talk about iMe?????

iMe.....

I have had a lot of people ask me, " What does iMe mean?"
My answer," It's my creative way of expressing myself..It means, I'm Me..."

The looks I get after I say this are priceless...
However, I'm Me is very meaningful to me and it has a deeply rooted meaning for me.

I'm me has reminded me over the years that I can't not be who people want me to be. I can't be what people expect me to be. I can't be what someone else wants me to be. I can only be me....
Being me will come with it's kinks as well. I have to learn from my flaws.  I have to pick myself up when I fall. I have to constantly remind myself that I am not the perfect person people perceive or expect me to be. I am human as well. Although some may have high expectations of me, I'm me has reminded me that it is totally find if I don't live up to anyone's expectations. WHY?

BECAUSE I AM HUMAN TOO!!!
Sometimes being someone who consistently exceeds at what they do can place you in a category where everyone expects and sees you as this "PERFECT PERSON"

WHAT IS PERFECT EXACTLY???
No one is perfect, but being young and wanting to live up the expectations of being such a scholarly person can make you attempt to be as perfect as you can in someone else eyes...

HOWEVER,
with life, there comes experiences, and my experiences have taught me that
I'm Me....... INSPITE OF....

CONFIDENCE
With life there comes obstacles. We must learn to embrace the challenges we face and take them as learning opportunities. We all will sometimes face a situation that we don't like. However, you as an individual  has the choice of how you handle the situation. In slang terms, you can either handle the situation or let the situation handle you. You have the choice to determine how you will be after the situation. Will you allow the situation to come out on top or will you rise to the occasion and you rise to the top?? The choice is yours, and I would hope that you would choose the option of winning ......

iMe™ Dark Skin & Confident

iMe Dark Skin & Confident

 I want to elaborate on this design a little more. This particular motto was dedicated to my daughter. She is a beautiful dark skin young lady. However, there were school mates and so called friends of hers who liked to joke about it, make up names to call her, and attempt to make her feel " not so pretty." My daughter had always been a pretty confident yet humble person. Nonetheless, I noticed that she began to struggle with her identity. She was told that she is " Pretty for a Dark Skin Girl", she was told that " boys wouldn't like her because she's too dark."  She was given little nicknames. Honestly, I could care less at her age about whether boys liked her or not. Luckily, she and I are able to joke about the nicknames today. We actually look back and find them rather amusing.

It saddens me how society and other peers can be so mean, hateful, and degrading towards others. That's why I feel it's important to talk with your kids, especially teens. I am so grateful and blessed to have kids who are open to talking to me. I pray that we keep our communication as open as it is now. 

I constantly remind my kids that being different is not a bad thing. It's not bad to stand out. It's not bad to be the person who is doing what you know is the better option. It's not bad to do right. It's not bad to be you.
