• the lowQi life

    Hey readers! Welcome to the new and improved the lowQi life: A Lifestyle Blog! QiBee & Tees just got a little makeover… This revamp took a lot of faith and well…guts. When I first started blogging, I always had my heart set on sharing transparent moments of my life in hopes that it would be an encouragement to myself and others. Unfortunately, I found myself extremely inconsistent even though the struggles and lessons of life endured. One of the main reasons I felt unable to write more consistently was finding a topic or starting point. Then it hit me. One…

  • Deeply Loved

    Shameful moment…I have a cycle when it comes to the tidiness of my room. It starts off clean. Everything has its place. The furniture is dusted. The laundry is done and the clothes are folded. The carpet is vacuumed and it smells like fresh cotton, one of my favorite candles. I lay on the bed in my newly cleaned room, refreshed by the peace and calmness that it brings, relaxed after all the cleaning. I keep telling myself that this time is going to be different. This time I am going to come home and hang up my clothes after…

  • Speak Life

    Growing up, I was a teacher’s pet and goodie two shoes. Sometimes the other kids picked on me and called me names because of it and because I was a preacher’s kid. So to prove myself, I decided that I was not gonna be a goodie good all the time. In the 5th grade, I decided that I was gonna start cursing. (Sorry mom and dad if you’re reading this). Other kids my age were using bad words and I had to prove to them that I could be like them. Honestly, it only lasted for about a semester. It…

  • To Die For

    I love Rom Coms/romance movies like The Notebook or The Holiday or Crazy Stupid Love or Hitch or Never Been Kissed…the list could go on and on. I am very much a hopeless romantic and the cheesiness of it all really makes me happy. My favorites are when the girl who seems to have it all together really likes the guy completely opposite from herself. Maybe he has a hard past or has done something that he thinks is so unforgivable. He tricks himself into thinking that he can hide who everyone thinks he is because of his past and…

  • Be Still

    I am very much a daddy’s girl. I am also a little independent. There are times when I try to do things that I simply cannot do to prove my independency. Eventually I fail and run to my daddy. As a daddy’s girl, I know he can fix anything…even when he can’t lol. In those situations, I know I would have avoided some struggle if I went to my daddy first, but that requires yielding my control and I don’t wanna. But alas, I run to him and he tells me to be still and watch him fix the problem.…

  • Your Story

    Every [wo]man has a story…what’s mine? Meeting new people, especially other believers, is sometimes a challenge for me. Among the first round of questions is usually something like this: “So, what’s your story?” I typically sit there stunned and puzzled on where to even begin. Such a broad question doesn’t always generate a specific answer. Do I tell them about my parents? They have some cool stories. We are seriously trying to get my dad’s story on Netflix one day…if anyone has any connections *wink wink.* But no, they asked about me…hmmm. I grew up thinking that I didn’t have…

  • 1 Year Anniversary

    On this day, October 18th of 2016, I posted the first blog post for QiBee & Tees!!! Happy Anniversary! Some think I am creating and selling the tees myself, but I don’t. This all began with an idea. The Conception I love captioned tees. Like seriously, I buy them all the time. Some of my favorite shops are: The Light Blonde Dope Faith Apparel Walk in Love JCLU Forever I always wanted to be a blogger. I posted to Facebook Notes before when that was a thing. I posted a few blogs on Blogger years ago talking about my Spiritual…

  • Agape

    This one might be the shortest blog I’ll ever do. Not because I didn’t have much time to write, which I did. I did not want to take much time writing about me. I was caught up thinking about God’s love: Agape. When I think of this word. I think of a covenant. A promise. But I entered the covenant completely one-sided. God will love me unconditionally. No matter how much I make mistakes, no matter how many times I neglect my quiet time, He’s still there. He hears me when I cry. He answers my prayers. He catches me…

  • Fearless

    Last week I saw Wonder Woman. Shoutout to DC for finally making a decent movie, but I digress. Like so many women around the world, Wonder Woman’s bravery channeled a feeling within that made us confident that we could conquer the world…or at least any obstacle. To others, she sounded crazy.  Her mission seemed impossible. But she did not let fear stand in her way. She endured. She won. She was fearless. I too could be like Wonder Woman. But I have so many fears. Things I am afraid of: Heights Fire Roller Coasters Drowning Failure Snakes Dying Rodents Rejection…
