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

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...

“In” and “of” the world…

Teaching is my passion. It’s what I will do until I retire. Currently, I teach college students. Most recently, I’ve taught elementary students. I taught at a Catholic school (I grew up Catholic). Religion is a subject I enjoy studying. World religions intrigue me. With that being said, I’ve spent many years trying to get closer to God. That, in itself, is wonderful.  My issue is reconciling the want to be spiritually fulfilled-to seek answers and live in a righteous way-while, simultaneously, trying to convey sexuality and my experience with sex in a tasteful way. In other words, I want to honor God, but I also want to write about the spiritual connection that lies within sex. I wanna tastefully pen sex stories, to be blunt! ☺️ Sex inside of marriage is pleasing to God. It’s encouraged to keep the relationship healthy. Outside of marriage, there is some conflict. I’ll be reading and studying on my own-not taking others’ interpretations of what the word says. It’s just I am an expr...

Marriage….. Stuff

 It’s a beautiful day in Georgia, so I decided to sit outside and engage in leisurely activity. Logged into Twitter and came across a post by a male. He was saying how he hopes his sons marry chaste women. Virgins. However, if the non virgins are more aligned, spiritually, (and have repented) than the virgins, he’d be happy for his sons to marry a non virgin. That made me think of spiritual/symbolic marriage. Legal marriages are the norm in this country. When I say the norm, I mean they are the marriages acknowledged by the government and many people. Spiritual/symbolic marriages have existed for a long time. They, however, do not offer the protections or benefits that one gets from legal marriage (binding contract).  This made me think of how symbolic marriages are respected or not respected. Calling yourself “married” because you’re with someone without having a spiritual ceremony is just that-words you use. It allows you to use the term “married” when it’s beneficial to you...
