With this falling economy, many find their faith has fallen, trust has fallen and motivation has fallen. We fall away, fall out, fall off, fall back and fall in - into depression, into discouragement and disgust. Often times, it is hard to make a comeback. Our Higher Power gives us an assurance that if we place our trust in Him, He is able to keep us from falling. But if you fall – fall forward. The song writer wrote, “We Fall Down but We Get Up.” You may not always make the mark. What’s more important is how you recover. Own up to your mistakes. Stay connected to the one who has the blueprint for your life. Devise a new plan and move forward. Keep believing. Keep the faith and continue to work. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
Fall Forward.

Is it ever okay to share a secret? That was the topic of discussion this past weekend at a friend’s dinner party.
The resounding answer was YES. Here were some of the comments:
- As long as it’s in a different circle.
- It depends on the situation.
- It wasn’t really a secret if you told someone.
- If it’s a detriment to someone safety.
- If it has anything with safety and concern of children.
- If the secret can be used as a learning tool.

Hey Mochas…..kiss kiss and a big hug. Summer just flew by for me, since being in school (for fashion design), and slaving away on my laptop constructing my special announcement……… which is that Mocha Beauti will open an online beauty boutique for women of color this fall. I am beside myself with excitement. I would love to get some feedback from you all……feel free to leave comments in the box as well as suggestions, and constructive criticisms all is welcome……...because the shop is all about you. Click on the mocha beauti shop tab in the navigation bar above to check it out. The full site is not yet available, but followers of mocha beauti will get a sneak peek to most of the site soon. You can click on “push” located on the door to enter into the visitors lounge.
Besides that I’ll be introducing the B-Series to the blog which is the following:
B healthy
Health is vital to your overall being; being healthy adds vibrancy to everything you are and everything you do. MB is committed to keeping our mocha’s on point with simple exercise techniques, tasty (but nutritious) recipes, skincare treatments, healthy hair tips, and special commentary on women’s health issues.
B stylish
MB celebrates stylish diversity and believes fashion is what you make it. Everyone has a distinct style unto themselves, which gives us our own unique flavor. MB is really not into trends (unless it’s something irresistibly cute). We firmly believe a big part of being fashionable is being comfortable in your clothes and knowing what looks good on your body type. We’re big on accessories, color (vivid colors are beautiful on mocha skin tones), and trust that you can never go wrong with classic pieces.
B savvy
Knowledge is POWER! In an effort to empower; MB will share resourceful information and shed light on important topics including personal finance, small business, politics, and technology.
B grown
When I was a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a woman, I put away childish things (I Corinthians 13:11). Evolve and expand your mind. In life, you should always be in a continuous state of evolution. Be progressive in your relationships, advance your lifestyle, accomplish your goals - in short seek development in every part of your life.
Mocha Beauti will also introduce featured writers…………and look forward to special post on vendors featured at the shop.
Later Mochas.....It's good to be back.
