Being Better

I was put on this earth with a purpose, and though I'm still finding out what that is, I know that part of it is to Help and Inspire Others; if not with my words, at least with my Actions.

I will strive to be my best, for myself and everyone that graces my presence. 

God Bless, Nikki :)

New Begginings...

Don't be the same, Be Better.

Change is inevitable....

I'm Different Now ♥

Whenever any passionate writer like myself goes on an extended or intermittent hiatus it's usually because there is a significant change going on in their life causing them to have writer's block. Some of my changes were quite obvious, but most were not. When I first started blogging many years ago I was Completely Different. My outlook on life, my maturity level, my opinions...my everything. Over the years I've matured from a girl to a Woman ♥ in every since of the word. Sometimes I even confuse myself because I react to situations and people much differently. In the past I had less tact and even felt arrogant at times, but now those traits are comical to me, and I've been humbled enough through life's lessons to have more compassion and empathy. This blog is a reflection of a young woman that was constantly renewing herself. My positive uplifting words were for me just as much as they were for you. I've gone through ups and downs in life and I've reached a point Today actually, where I realized I am simply DIFFERENT. I'm still and will always be a work in progress, but I've definitely reached a new beautiful phase in life. Going forward I will always stay true to myself and my point of view will remain genuine.
Every Story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new Beginning ♥

God Bless :) Luv Nikki

Your NEVER too OLD to have FUN! My Birthday Post♥

So I made it to the precious age of 29 on January 3, 2012. It was an amazing birthday with lots of love and little surprises. My hubby even surprised me with a Hello Kitty pinata filled with my favorite Lindt chocolates since I told him earlier in the week that I always wanted one. I was determined to stick to my "Forever Young" theme on my special day and I plan to do so every Birthday.

If it's one thing I've learned about AGING over the years, it's the simple FACT that your only as old as you feel. I've accomplished a lot in life and it's all happening so fast! I plan to live every moment to the fullest and I simply REFUSE to ever feel old.

At 29 I feel wise, beautiful, and free and I hope you do as well no matter what age you are or what stage your at in your life. Simply Live, Love, Laugh and remain young at heart, it doesn't get much better than that :)

Thank-you 2011 ♥

To say that 2011 was the Best year ever would be an understatement!
I became a homeowner, married my Soulmate, snorkeled over the fishys in Hawaii, Purchased the 2012 Hyundai Sonata I wanted, spent quality time and made more memories with family and friends than ever before. This year was heavenly. It makes me emotional to see it go when it seems like my whole life, I've been looking forward to these moments!

All I can do now is look forward to More. GOD is simply GREAT.

"Hello 2012, All I Want From You Is EVERYTHING♥"

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! BE SAFE & ENJOY!
Love, Nikki

D.City Star ♥

I'm from D.C. and I love my city ;)

the night lights, the party scene,

the shopping, and the history have always inspired me.

My life growing up in North East

is nothing short of a Blessing, simply because it helped

mold me into who and what I am today.

I am and will forever be a D.City Star and vow to always shine.

GOD Bless ♥

Time 2 Live Happily Ever After ♥

Hello all, I'm finally back and though my return was influenced by a delicious alcoholic mixed drink, I'm here with a sober mind and ready to update my fabulous subscribers. First off I feel extremely blessed...I'm currently living a life I never imagined I would be living a couple years ago, but it's here, it's happening, and I'm living!

All the fun started with my Bachelorette party. My sister/maid of honor flawlessly put together a sequence of events that made for one of the most unforgettable nights of my life! Fine dining, beautifully decorated hotel suite with drinks, cupcakes and edible arrangements, my own 12 passenger limo, VIP at my favorite nightclub in D.C. and a bridal brunch the next day. 12 crazy party friends all came together to celebrate me as a bride and I partied like it was my last!
The wedding came soon after and I was a super calm bride, though a bit nervous about the weather. All I wanted was my beautiful garden wedding by the National Harbor; Thankfully, that's exactly what I got. The wedding went by super fast and I must admit that my favorite moments were getting dolled up with my favorite women in the world in the morning, and the evening walking hand in hand with my brand new hubby through the Gaylord National Hotel, partying at their rooftop nightclub (yes we're crazy), then Finally closing our eyes together as we went to sleep for the first time as husband and wife. After a year of planning, its quite comical to me that the moments that meant the most were all those simple unplanned, effortless moments. I guess that's what happens when you marry a man that makes you happy beyond words in a simple kind of effortless way :).
Speaking of happy, we spent our honeymoon in Maui Hawaii for a week and had the time of our lives. We enjoyed a luau, sunset cruise, beautiful beaches, delicious Hawaiian cuisine, and more. I highly recommend this place for couples. Its beauty surpasses any island I've been on. I'm now here sitting in our new home, blogging about a bachelorette party, wedding and honeymoon that was months ago but feels like yesterday. In other words LIFE MOVES FAST, SO EMBRACE EVERY MOMENT YOUR ALLOWED TO SMILE, TO LOVE, AND TO LIVE.
God Bless You All :) and Thanks Sooo Much For all the Congrats. I hope to be blogging back regularly soon!
Love Mrs.Nikki ;) ♥

Your due season is coming and your reward will be Great. Always Live your life to the fullest no matter what your waiting for so that you can look back on the journey and appreciate every day that led you to your Reward. Things happen in GOD's time.

Good-Bye Dear Friend...♥

Good-Bye Dear Friend .......
It's been GREAT knowing you! I smile just thinking about the moments we've shared. Whether they were good or bad, I am blessed to have simply lived them. I've grown tremendously with you and it will be so hard to say Good-Bye.
Moving forward will feel so different. The second you leave I may even cry, because I am honestly teary-eyed right now. I know life will instantly become different forever. Moving into my first home, getting married, having a Husband, a new career, and more responsibility than I've ever had before are all waiting for me on the other side of time.
Thank you friend for the laughter, the tears, the experiences, and lessons. I will Never forget you, nor will I ever try. I ended a chapter in my life with you and I Thank GOD that I came out of it stronger, wiser, and better than ever before.

Good Bye 2010, the perfect Kiss goodbye after the decade of my life! I had a Blast. ♥
HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEETIES!

CHERISH YOUR LIFE AND LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST!
GOD BLESS, LOVE NIKKI ♥

Busy People Rock!

We get BUSY sometimes, that's life. WE MUST KEEP MOVING in a positive direction to achieve our goals, meet our soul mates, and laugh our gut wrenching laughs.

Busy People Rock! Continue to accomplish the great things your heart desires.

(just trying to make myself feel better for being so busy :)

Peace ♥ Nikki :)

Giving is LIVING ♥

You Reap What You Sow aka You Get What You Give...

So what do you give to others? Lately I realized the Key to helping yourself is to help others. Sending good out into the world will only bring it back to you.

Lying, stealing, and cheating will bring you nothing in the long run but emptiness; But Loving, Sharing, and Helping will give you a fulfilling life. Certain Blessings in my life were once blocked because of my selfish nature, So now that I've learned that GIVING is LIVING...it was only right that I share the message.

Pay it forward and tell someone something that changed your life for the better.

Give to them, the little piece of wisdom you were blessed with and remember its better to give than to receive...

if that doesn't make since to you now, Trust me, it will one day.

Peace, Love Nikki :)

♥ FIREWORKS ♥

Baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Let your colors burst
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
is so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Boom, boom, boom.. Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you,
And now it's time to let it through.

I LOVE KATY PERRY FOR THIS SONG :)

Love, Nikki

♥Always Stay True To Yourself !!!!!!!

I LOVE being unique. I think, feel, and act Different than the average person and I like that. I rather stand alone than in a crowd and I rather speak my mind than to remain quiet. I rather cry than hold back tears and I always choose to laugh, even if no one else is.

If you're not staying true to yourself, you're lying to yourself.

so Say what's REAL, and do what you FEEL.

the only consequence is that people will see you for who you really are;

and that's a good thing.......right?

Kisses ♥ Luv Nikki

What Do You Have To Offer?

Have you ever asked yourself "What Do I Have To Offer The World?"...probably, not. I know I've never asked myself that and came up with a clear answer, so I guess now is the time.

Answer (Freestyled)
I'm very compassionate and I want to help those in need, especially from a psychological standpoint. I want to inspire and teach as many people as possible about the wisdom I've acquired through life lessons that I've been blessed to experience. I want to make people smile, especially those who don't smile often. I want to offer the world the presence of a unique, intelligent, yet gentle and sweet African American Woman with a kind heart and deep mind. As I live my life I want to leave a lasting impression on everyone one I meet, even on those who don't like me. One day I hope to offer the world another Wonderful Mother, A Fantastic Wife, A Successful Business Woman, and an Extraordinary Leader. I offer the world the very Best of Me and as I grow and become even better, the world will get even more.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD? I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR ANSWERS, WHETHER THEY BE A COMMENT, OR A BLOG POST OF YOUR OWN.

Kisses, Luv Nikki ♥

♥ Day-Dreamin' ♥

This Pic Is So ME♥

Taking each day one at a time.

Cherishing these days that we will never get back.

Growing, Learning, Loving, Laughing,

and LIVING :)

GOD is GOOD :)

Peace & Love
