There’s an old children’s rhyme that says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” This saying implies that only a physical attack is harmful, and a verbal attack is less damaging because it causes less of an injury, or destruction. This could not be further from the truth. The fact is, bruises go away. And words...well, they can stay with you for a lifetime. 

The power of positive words and thoughts is essential to your well-being. Every morning I chant various positive affirmations to myself. I fill myself with words that are both motivational and encouraging. I’m also very cautious of who I speak with first thing in the morning. I believe your first thoughts and dialogue are the catalyst for your day. 

Affirmations also have the power to push you to act on things you’re otherwise fearful of. Affirmations help you to focus on achieving goals, and arm you with the power to help you deliberately concentrate on the greatness that lives within you. 

This summer, I introduced a new scarf design for my second collection “Her World” called Sista - Friend.  This design was created to make the wearer fell like a superhero - I call it The Cape Of Security.  My hope for anyone who has ordered Sista - Friend is that they are reminded this - you are beautiful and enough!
