Topic: Relationships


I am a firm believe that God does things for a reason. I was introduced to my husband by a friend. He had been previously married and one of the things that he said to me when we first started dating was that he would not marry again not unless Jesus came down and told him to. I laughed it off at the time because in my mind I knew that if God said so it would be.  Maybe 2 years into our relationship, I stated to him plain and simple that I wanted to get married because I knew that I was meant to be a wife. He once again said what he said and this time I said well if that is the case at some point this relationship will end. I believe that got him to thinking because well we ended up getting married. It was one of the best days of my life. I became a widow in 2011, only 2 years into our marriage.

                In 2014, God said it was time to start dating again. So I dated a few different guys but none of those relationships worked out. There were some really nice guys but it just didn’t feel right. I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. Then I had the realization that I was no longer the women I once was. I had changed and evolved in the short two years that I was married. My husband had shown me how to be a wife. With that realization, I became more intentional in whom I gave my time to. I was looking for someone I could have longevity with and could match my hustle. I say all this to let people know that LOVE can still be found after loss but just know that you will have a changed mind set. It’s important to be intentional because time is one thing that can’t be given back and enjoy the good and the bad with those you love.

Keep Stirring Sis,

-Asia

  This month on the blog, we will be focusing on dealing with insecurities. The women that have submitted stories will be choosing what to focus on involving an insecurity that they have. When I think about insecurities, I think about how much I have grown in having confidence about myself. I have always been a bigger girl and I have been on a crazy journey to self-acceptance. Most days I feel great about myself but there are some days that my insecurities are very loud. My goal is to always be honest and to be self-reflective. Growing up I let my confidence about my weight stop me from doing a lot of things and it has been a major factor in the shy Shatia that everyone knows. I’m naturally not a talker but learning to deal with mean people, has made me an observer. I pick up on vibes and I act accordingly. Being a bigger woman, I noticed that there are things I do to prevent people from connecting me to any stereotypes that people have about fat people. I don’t want to appear ...

  Relationships : Cinderella fell…only to rise again So, my 6 year old is one of my world’s biggest blessings. But let me tell you - co-parenting with someone you wish you never had to see again is not for the faint of heart. Picture it, about 8 or 9 years ago, and a new relationship starting. He has the cutest little girl that just expands your heart just like the Grinch 10 times more. We were blessed with another baby about a year and half later in July of 2015. Perfect, right. Well, 3 days postpartum we come home, and I just feel in my gut I will be raising my daughter by myself. Hormones? Or so I thought. I just brushed it off because that wasn’t going to happen. Not to us. No way. We were engaged on Thanksgiving that same year, then bought a new house in January of the next. Life seemed to be PERFECT…But then, it wasn’t. With our different work shifts, I hardly ever saw this boy. He would be working late hours, and then come home some nights, started “falling asleep on the...

  Hello, I am Shatia and this blog is my brainchild. I hope that you enjoy!  Topic: Relationships I got dumped. As I found myself working through this horrific break up and trying to navigate my way through all of these new feelings. Feelings of anger, sadness, regret, hurt, abandonment, and uncertainty. Feelings that have left my mind clouded many times and sometimes feeling so strongly in them, that I become physically exhausted. Everyone always testifies about the love through the good times but what about the love through the bad? We have grown up in a world where our views of love and romance have been shaped by fairytales and cheesy rom coms. In reality, love is nothing like a fairytale and relationships are hard work.  So now we’re in the place of determining is this what I want or am I willing to fight for this? Relationships are just one of the many things that make adulting hard. Like who signed me up for this?! In the midst of healing, I have broken down many t...
