because alexandria was way too long…
Happy Monday, peeps!
This week will be a busy one for me, mainly because my 7th book is coming out on Saturday and I still have a ton of editing to do.
(Prayers are welcome.)
But, to boost the mood and get me fired up for that amongst other things, I’ll probably have this on repeat.
Enjoy! 😉
It’s almost time!
Attractions & Distractions: Senior Year will be out on November 21st.
But until then, here’s a sample to keep you warm. 😉

SO I realized I have this bad habit of posting stuff to my Facebook Author Page that I don’t post here about Attractions & Distractions: Senior Year.
It IS coming (this month), and I’ve been dropping little hints about the story all over Facebook that I should probably share here as well!

I’m hardly EVER a fan of remakes.
(even though some songs are probably remakes of super old songs I’ve never heard of… for the purpose of this post, let’s skip that fact lol)
Like… how dare you touch my favorite songs?
How dare you touch the classics?
But this one in particular… I don’t know. I’m not mad at it.
It has a nice vibe to it, and T-Boz is actually on it which maybe makes up for the fact that its a remake.
Either way, check it out, vibe with it, and most importantly, have an awesome week!
So talking to bae one day (shoutout to bae by the way), I found myself using “have to” to a lot. You “have to” do this. This isn’t a want to, this is a “have to”. And no I wasn’t only scolding him about having to put his clothes away, or something like that. We were actually discussing how the “have to” method is more of a mindset needed for personal development.
We all have things we don’t want to do, things we know won’t stop the world if they aren’t accomplished, but what would happen if you turned those want to’s – and don’t wan’t to’s – into “have to’s”?
Let me explain.

Senior Year is coming!
November…something lol, but November FOR SURE!
But for now, here’s a little teaser 🙂

I’ve been liftin’, I’ve been liftin’. – *Beyonce voice*
LOL
But seriously, the grind hasn’t stopped… like not even a little bit.
Body goals are in order and since they aren’t gonna reach themselves, I’ve been going at it pretty tough.
The boo even made this super dope video of me getting some work in, so check it out!
I especially love attending the group workout sessions so I don’t have to sweat like a dog by myself! lol
If any of you are in Houston, you should DEFINITELY come check it out!
I suppose this song of the week comes from a… motivational place of sorts lol.
We could all use some motivation on Mondays right? 😉
So… I’m gonna be honest.
It takes a lot for me to give new artists a fair listen.
I don’t know what it is, but USUALLY I just like what I like and that’s what I listen to all the time.
But every once in awhile, a new artist catches my attention usually after tons of recommendations from friends.
This artist in particular was a name I kept seeing passed around on Twitter until a song of his came on Songza.
Gamechanger.
I love just about every song I’ve heard off of this artist’s new album T R A P S O U L, but one of my favorite songs would have to be this one… mainly because it samples one of my favorite songs of all time, “Shawty Swing My Way” by KP and Envy. lol
Enjoy!

I live for spontaneity. Though I am a planned down to the inch type of girl, I love the times of my life where I can just get up and go. So when my dad called and said he’d be heading to Fort Worth, TX for a conference, I jumped on the opportunity instantly, even though it was a legit 4 hours away.
(So maybe I missed him a little bit lol)
What I wasn’t expecting though, was to find the gem that is the JFK memorial. Now I’m sure you know the story of JFK’s assassination so I won’t insult your intelligence. BUT what I didn’t know was that he addressed a crowd at Hotel Texas (now the Hilton where we stayed at on our impromptu trip) the night before that fateful day. So naturally, Fort Worth honored him with this beautiful memorial (pictured below).

If you’re ever visiting Fort Worth, or passing through, or whatever you may be doing around that area, I would definitely recommend at least driving by and taking a peek.
And while you’re in the area, stop at Frankie’s for a frozen margarita. They’ll get you right. 😉
actually, it's alexandra
