Magic of African Waist Beads
The earliest record of beads in Africa dates back 12000 years, when they were not yet aesthetically pleasing. They were used as a means of communication and identification as well as decoration. In Sudan, Nigeria, Libya, South Africa and other countries, archaeologists found beads made out of ivory, clay, precious stones, bones and shells even eggs in the case of South Africa. It was not until the 12th century that we see real evidence of glass bead production within the notable manufacturing areas of today such as in Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, DRC, Mali and a few others.

#SingleMomChronicles: Me Time
Hey mamas! On this episode of #SingleMomChronicles, we are gonna talk about: ME TIME. It is difficult as a parent to get time alone. As a single parent? Alone time is pretty much non-existent. I found myself becoming extremely overwhelmed all of a sudden. As the only adult in the house, everything lands on my shoulders. Whenever my children need anything, they come to me, of course. I have to cook, clean, help with homework, give advice and pep talks, be a listening ear, ect. I have a 17 year old daughter. She has generalized and social anxiety and depression. She has abandonment issues from her father leaving her as a child. She has mixed emotions about him raising his other kids but not being there during her childhood. She talks to me about all of those things. I have to sift through her mental and emotional stuff while attempting to sort through my own. I still gotta work somewhere to make money to live day to day. That is a heck of a lot for one person. I got to the point where I was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom with the door locked at midnight crying my eyes out. I mean ugly crying with the snot and the stuttering sobs. I would cry whenever I was in my car alone as well. That is no way to live. Something had to change, and change soon.

The Free-Spirited Plight
The free-spirited plight It is known that the human desire to possess what is meant to be free, unbounded, and without disruption. What value is held in pointing at something and saying “mine” such as a child does? Most humans naturally inherit this trait. And it’s ok to be that way, it’s an honest characteristic in a juvenile state. But as we mature, so should that notion of ownership. Something with life that is so cherished should be set free to flourish and reach its apex of potential without being crippled by something as static as want and desire.
