Lolo Knows

Beginning right now in this moment begin living your life in such a way that you will never go to your death bed and say this , “I wish I spent more time with my friends and family, enjoying life, worrying less, and smiling more.” Nobody ever says “I wish I had more things and money and spent more time working and worrying.” So, now that you know the true secret to happiness and fulfillment, begin living that truth now.  

Real is most definitely what you make it out to be. Your real isn't everybody's so the fact that some limit their own thoughts to their own reality or what they consider to be living real or seeing things from a real perspective, should not deter you from your own reality and how you choose to live it. What works for you is yours and just maybe their adversity maybe what you need to believe in what you are doing and making your own reality your dream come true!!! 

We live in a very busy world and there doesn't always seem to be enough time in the day to complete it all. People can even come off a little self absorbed and not really take in consideration that others are busy but have taken an opportunity to think about you while you were running around. Today's tasks may even in fact be there tomorrow. So, what's 5 minutes of your time to speak to the one that called you and thought about you in the midst of the chaos. It just might be God's way of telling you to slow down and never take for granted those other blessings that we often do and before you know it, we have lost a friend or family member because we got too busy to even give them that precious and most treasured time of the day to them. Instead we think that they will be there tomorrow or the next day. Folks, WAKE UP!!! Look around you and really observe who really is in your corner and make a conscience effort to stay there. What's up with the people that are too b...

This quote by Charlize Theron says it best. I never wished to be a single mom, but that is what I have been for 21 years and I have to say, it was the best years of my life. My mother got divorced from my father when I was 9 years old and she became a single mom. Having her as an example was the best lesson I could draw from to be the best mom to my boys to this day. It made me want to be better and sacrifice what I needed to, to give my sons the best time and life I could,  so that I could see them thrive better than I did in these conditions. This was my time to prove that not only I could do that, but love in a selfless place and put others needs before my own and grow me to the woman I am today. I am currently able to inspire a generation that would at least want to look at my example and feel that despite the dreams I have had as a little girl, the dream to give my boys what I didn't have manifested because giving to them was like giving to myself and it did pay off. I hav...

This quote is so true. I just saw two people going at it on social media and I told them to make a decision about their relationship and that this was not the place to do it.  That is child's play!! I also told them that my mother was diagnosed with cancer to hopefully put it all in perspective for them so that they could settle a matter that was close to their heart. My friend and artist, Arabella Proffer, and a guest I had on Lolo Knows, put it in perspective. She said she no longer worries about shit because cancer did that for her. Once you have had it and been through it whether physically or emotionally, it should really open up your eyes to what matters. I went through a break up that was difficult for me and my ex.  He wasn't well in  handling it because all he knew how to be was pissed and hurt until he felt he  no longer wanted to be that way. As we were going through an issue one day, at that very moment, I received a text from my sister, telling me a...

There was a time in my life when I was hanging out with all the wrong people. Let me be clear, they were awesome individuals, they just weren’t MY crowd. They didn’t get me, they liked to do all the things I really didn’t care to do and they talked about things I had no interest in. Hanging around with them made me feel drained, depressed and lonely. Lonely because I couldn’t make a connection with them around subjects that had meaning to me… Drained because I had to BE SOMEONE ELSE to fit in with who they were and what they wanted to do… Depressed because, well, it sucks to feel like you don’t fit in or like people just don’t GET you. Am I right? So how do you attract the RIGHT People into your life? Are you ready for this? Because it’s some seriously powerful stuff…  BE YOURSELF. 100% of the time and 100% REAL. If you think that you’re being real, but you’re still finding the wrong people showing up in your life, then you need to take a moment to reassess your YOU-ness. If the wr...

This beautiful woman is my friend Kim and her son Devin. He was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor and is currently getting treatments at the Cleveland Clinic. A curve ball thrown in life is what we can expect because we all have a limited window of opportunity in this world to live and perhaps make a difference. I choose both and at this time. As you know, treatments are very expensive and a community has rallied to help. They have roughly over $13,000 raised on www.fundly.com/devinforthewin and raised more at a charity dinner, but it's still not at their goal of $100,000. Please click on the link to make your donation today. Every little bit helps. I will be talking to Kim about an event that I would like to throw. It will involve shaving off my hair. Mind you, my hair took years to grow and it is now down the middle of my back, but it's only hair and with healthy eating, taking biotin, it will be back in no time. It's all to help my friend whose only child is in need. S...

Every moment is an opportunity for growth no matter what it is you are going through personally, professionally, intimately, or spiritually. Our thoughts invite our experiences. You are right where you are at because you created that reality. If you don't like the reality, begin changing the thoughts and believing in a new outcome. So many get lost because they are so use to the dogmatic mindset that has been thrusted at them and think this is normal, acceptable and they begin to believe it. I have been a victim of this behavior and mindset myself and one day I told myself that I was not a victim and I can control this situation by simply not feeding the cycle that kept revisiting itself in my own personal relationships which in turn have fragmented my reality and has caused me great suffering in the end. No more I said and began meditating, being grateful and telling myself nice things and soon enough, my life began to change and I found myself worrying less, and saw myself eagerl...
