The time has come to say Goodbye PLUS Giveaways

Good day all, 
For awhile now, i have come to this realization but did not want to accept it. This blog will be ending before the year runs out. As many of you know, my life has changed drastically and because of that I no longer have the time, energy, or even passion for blogging that i used to. I am such a different person since starting this blog. I have grown so much from blogging and reading other people's blog and  I am extremely grateful that God allowed me to connect with some very special people on here. I have never been much of a writer(still hate writing), but i truly love the community and that is what kept me blogging now for over 3 years. I will absolutely miss this community. Once in awhile, i will defiantly check out what is going on in the lives of my favorite bloggers.


3 last things i plan on doing with this blog:
1. Have a giveaway(i promised awhile ago, and i'm sorta kinda a woman of my word).
2. Meet and hang out with the blogger that lives close to me(you know who you are lol.)
3. Blog one last time.


So about the giveaway:  There will be two prices for two different winners.


Prize #1: Brand new red vintage looking dress, size: Medium from lulu.com. Price: $43.00.

Prize #2: $10 gift certificate to Target (why target you say, because i like target better that i like walmart and those two store are everywhere including online.)

I like this gift card cause of the gal's hair...lol.

Warning, this part is a bit selfish, but i'm doing it because i would really like feedback on my blog. Basically i would really appreciate it if you left a comment telling me: "what attracted you to my blog, what kept you coming back to my blog and what you would have liked for me to blog about, why do you think i only have 56 subscribers?" Basically serious feedback of any sort.

So the person that provides the most detailed response to my question(in my opinion) will be the winner and will choose which gift they would like. The person with the second most detailed answer wins the second prize. Please be honest, don't feel like you have to say nice things, just be honest.

If you do not want any of these prizes, i would still appreciate feedback.  I'm doing this because i believe in learning something from every experience.

The contest ends on friday 12/9/2011 at 11:59pm mountain time.

Have a blessed day. Chizzy ;D

Black in Latin America

Good day all,


1.) Black in Latin America: Haiti and Dominican Republic
I found this documentaries to be quite interesting. The colorism issue between the two neighboring countries is intense. Did you know Haiti was on it's way to being one of the richest Latin American countries before the U.S stepped in? Did you know that they have extremely strong ties to traditional african cultures? I truely enjoyed watching this and learned so much from it. I hope you do as well.

Watch the full episode. See more Black in Latin America.

2.) Black in Latin America: Brazil

The Capital of Colorism= Brazil. Yep i said it. Bet you always thought this country was a country that embraced and celebrated the different mixtures of people and cultures, didn't ya? Well on the surface yes, but when you dig in closer, you realize how complex the skin color issues are in Brazil. Fascinating watch. Enjoy!

Homosexuality is a Sin, but...

 Good day all, 

I am a women of many verbal words, but of very few written words, soooooo i'm going get right to the point. 
Last year I went to one of the biggest, international, most awesome-est(yep thats a word) Christian missions conference for college kids called Urbana. It happens every three years, and this conference does not play. The speakers are bold Paul-type people from all over the world. I LOOOOOOVe this conference. The main speakers always speak on all the things the modern Church shys away from speaking about i.e..money, homosexuality, racism, marriage, hatred..list goes on.
I can seriously go on and on about this conference and how both(2006 and 2009) times i went REALLY impacted my life, but this post is on homosexuality, so here goes. 
I attended a seminar on homosexuality(there were MANY seminars on this topic) that really opened my eyes as to how God really sees it and how i also should respond. Although i have never been one to look down on homosexual people, this seminar really convicted me.

Is Homosexuality a sin?

 Yes, in Romans 1:26-31 it says: For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet"

Is Homosexuality different from any other sin?

Nope!!!!! A sin is a sin is a sin is a sin in God's eyes. 

Can you be a christian who struggles with Homosexuality?

Yes!! We were all born sinners right? Some of us struggle with lying, some with stealing, cheating, lust(homo or hetero), money loving, vanity, evil tongue<-------ME!!. Whatever it is, even after one becomes a Christian, there is still a battle between the flesh and the spirit. A battle that can and must be won, and can only be won through Christ.
Galatians 5:16-26....

¹⁶ So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever^[c] you want. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

 ¹⁹ The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³²⁴ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

How do you witness to a (very open or not so very open) Homosexual person? 

Same way you witness to anyone else. Because many homosexuals have a distrust of Christians, get on there level. Think about the darkest struggles that you have or are having and share with them how God has helped you over come this struggle or is helping you overcome this struggle. Ask them if they would like to learn more about the God who came to save the hopeless. Invite them to partner with you as you strive to grow closer to Christ.


The guy who taught the homosexual class is a guy that struggled with homosexuality named Christopher Yuan. I had the great opportunity to meet him and his parents. His testimony is on the Vid below:

"The eye of the Beholder"

 Good day all,
 Check out this twilight zone film about beauty and how society and people in power, control things like how the majority of humans view themselves. I find it extremely similar to the world we in today.

How to fight against this: Read the scriptures in the bible and understand how God sees you, then Fight It by seeing yourself the way the God that created everything about your image sees you.











Have a blessed day. Chizzy :D

Beware of False Gospels

Good day friends,
I feel an absolute responsibility to fully start calling out False gospels this year because this stuff has absolutely nothing to do with what Christ Jesus preached. If one really reflects and compares some of these gospels to the gospel of Jesus Christ, they would realize that these false gospels are actually more in line with what the Devil says. 

Please fully listen to these, especially the second video because it explain what it mean to live like Christ, pretty much what the bible says.

Watch Out for Those Who Lead You Away from the Truth

Matthew 6:19-20 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

The story of Black women's hair and the Revolution that i see happening

More and more i am seeing black women chop of their relaxed hair and REPRESENT the hair God gave them. Now i'm not in any way bashing or demeaning my sisters with relaxed hair (the hair wars are stupid), i'm just loving that natural hair is becoming more accepted and mainstream. The night of my high school graduation, i chopped off All my hair...like there was no strand of hair on my head. When i started University there was only about 3 black girls on campus that rocked their natural hair, today about 20% of gals on campus are rocking natural hair and i am sooooo loving it. When i first went natural there was no youtube help, natural blog/vlog or any of these awesome tools that are around today, my only source of education was fotki.com (photosharing site) and nappurality.com(natural hair forum)
Five years and six months natural and i can say with no doubt that a relaxer will NEVER touch my head again.




Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

Josephine Baker: A very interesting Life

Although i had heard of this women before, it was not until this last Friday that i fully got to understand this woman's story. Although i disagree with some things she did, she truly inspires me and I felt empowered researching and learning about this women. She did all that in the 1920's, seriously lady?

Have a blessed day. Chizzy D
