10 Random Things I think you should know........

Sooooo.....it has been a while since I've written. My mom passed away, May 24th. As with my brother who passed away September 5, 2015, death brings enlightenment to me.  I've been reflecting and thinking over rhe past 8 weeks. But I know there are some things I need to share with you all. And it's Summertime!! So I feel like it is a great time to sit and  write.

Anywho.....I created this little list (which I am putting into longer form to be released, later) I wanna share with you all. Soooooo, here it is.

1. Begin each day with prayer or meditation. How you start your day plays a major role in setting the tone for the rest of it. Prayers/meditation can create a positive aura, which can create a positive day for you.

2. Self care. Take care of your appearance. Care for your skin, hair, and hygiene. Pamper yourself. Find hair and skin products that work for your skin/hair type and tone. Take care of your hygiene.  Brush and wash. Bathe/shower. Just cleanse yourself. I stay away from body washes and bubble baths that use deodorants and fragrances. They tend to irritate my yoni  (vagina). Find what works for you and makes you feel good.

3. Show kindness and you'll receive kindness. Not specifically and necessarily from the person you extends it to. It's called pay it forward. What you put out there, you'll get back.

4. Treat others how you want to be treated. Show others how you want them to treat you with your actions and words.

5. Always try your hardest and do your best. Your name is yours. What you put out there shows others a part of who you are. Be confident in whatever you do. Give your whole  effort or don't do it.

6. About body hair......
Shave if you wanna.....
Don't shave if you don't wanna.....
Whatever you decide is a personal choice. Makke it your choice cause you feel good about it, not cause others want it for you.

7. "NO" means NO always!! No matter  how far you have gone.....at anytime....you can say NO! With that being said, be wise and careful of the positions/ situations  you place yourself in. Do what feels right for YOU. Don't let peer pressure or pressure from a partner get you to do something you aren't ready to or don't wanna do. And never ever feel like you're obligated to have sex or you owe anyone sex. Your body is your body. Care for it.

8. Love is freeing. It is abundant. Overflowing. Infinite. Love will never run out.  Love as much as you wanna. Love as many as you wanna. *When i say love, I do not mean sex*.

9. Monogamy isn't the only relationship dynamic. It is perfectly okay to explore other relationship types. And always remember....We do  not own others.

10. Be a game changer. Listen to your intuition  (gut). Take the risk if you feel it is worth it. It might change your life. Might change the world.

With much love,
Ms. Nicole Rene

Failure to Protect

I have spent the past 5 days reading horror stories of children being abused and murdered at the hands of a parent, step parent, or parent's significant other. I am disturbed, angry, disheartened, heartbroken, and a little hopeless. Adults should protect children. Parents should protect children. It all started when I came across a story about a beautiful girl named Rica Rountree. Rica was abused and murdered by her father's girlfriend. The child had been kicked in her stomach, causing her intestines to tear. Rica died of peritonitis. Her father (Richard Rountree) failed to protect her. He was aware of the abuse and participated, sharing text messages with the girlfriend about how he wished the girl would go somewhere else. He laughed about the abuse in texts and agreed with the girlfriend, Cynthia (Clay) Baker about coaching Rica to lie about how she got her bruises. Though I am happy she was convicted and I hope she gets the maximum in February for sentencing, it is a litt...

Seeking God, Finding Myself

I have been on a fervent, spiritual journey for the past seven years. It was only then, I began to know myself-as a person, as a woman. I was 28 years old before I was comfortable enough with myself to begin peeling off layers and allowing my freeness to flow. I am a mother. I am a teacher. I am a writer. And I am a sexual being. For so long, the latter was something I suppressed. I wasn’t comfortable enough to speak on that aspect of me. But it’s part of who I am and how I got here-to this place, this space. I grew up Catholic. Sex was to be abstained until marriage, according to our Sunday school lessons. Though people in my family shacked up and had kids out of wedlock-and weren’t looked down upon.  For so long, I masturbated with guilt. Even though the release was wonderful and I enjoyed touching my body, I felt like religion taught me I would be punished for the sin-even though it didn’t involve another being. I use to spew the words “But I’m a Christian”  not knowing w...

More on Death/Piedmont Eastside Hospital

Death is a part of our existence. It happens. People die, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Previously, I wrote about my father's death in February. I am ready to talk more about it. I just finished reading this article by Tatiana Schlossberg (Caroline Kennedy's daughter) about her terminal cancer diagnosis. One of the things she briefly touches on is the care of the nurses at the hospital. She praised them for their service.  May 24, 2016, my mother passed away in a hospital in Baton Rouge. She had sickle cell disease and when it went bad, it all went bad at once. While she was in the hospital in one city, her sister-who also had sickle cell-was in a New Orleans hospital. We knew one would die, we just didn't know which one. My mom died after 7pm on a Tuesday night. My sister was backing into the driveway at our parents' house when my dad called my cell phone to tell us she had passed. We had left the hospital about an hour earlier. We got to say our "g...
