” I don’t know about you all, but I feel like we live in a world where we are always asked to supply answers to questions that we simply don’t have the answer to. For example, “How long will you be single?”; “When are you going to have some kids?”; “Girl, why you ain’t got a boyfriend?; “Girl, when are you getting married?” In my heart I want to scream, “I DON’T KNOW, DO I LOOK LIKE GOD?” but on the outside, I smile gracefully and say, “I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I find out.” I’m not going to let them know… I’m going to make all my announcements after the fact on social media. My family will find out about my life choices when the world finds out. Trifling? Yeah, I know. “

“Like, many of you may read this and be like,” Wow sis, you’re super dramatic!” But if some of you lived a day in my colleagues’ lives, you would lose it.

Goodbye.
“There’s no way that I have an idol in my life. No way. I mean, I love God, right? Yes, we love God but there are things in our lives that we love more. That, ladies and gents is idolatry, the loving of something/someone more than the Father. “©Simone Holloway, 2018
She’s Dead.
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers– I bet many of you are looking at the title of today’s blog and you’re like “What???” But what many of you do not know, is that a piece of me died today. Yep, a portion of myself that held me back, that kept me stuck in…
Memories

This Is Love.
“The older I become, I realize that life is not about things and places but rather about our love relationships with people. The way we love a soul lasts for an eternity, whereas position, prestige and the riches of this world will only last a lifetime.”©Simone Holloway, 2018

Oozing With Words
Hello old friend, new followers and fellow bloggers- I wish I could say that I’ve always had the right words to say, or that I was always confident to speak my heart, but that is not the case. I remember times, having so much to say but not knowing exactly how to translate my pain. …
