Facts about Christie aka Sassy Island Gal -(there's a reason for that nickname as you'll see)
1. I am a PROUD Dutch-Caribbean Island gal- I don't pretend to be anything else. It's been quite a journey to understand the ethnic groups within this wonderfully complex society called America. I enjoy it even when I criticize it at times. I've got mad appreciation for being here. I have a ball and have met some of the most incredible generous people.
2. I am a NON-BULLCRAP person. Please do not crap on my patience with lies, excuses, or insincere niceties. Give it to me straight. If you don't like me, or you feel I offended you, or whatnot- tell it to me straight (which maybe you can tell from my posts). I respect straight-talkers the most. These type of people are my closest friends. I just feel if you can't tell me something to my face that you're straight up shady bc God knows how you're dogging me behind my back then smiling in my face. So cut the bs and get to the heart- I connect to that so strong. It really touches me deeply that you choose to be vulnerable. I'm not judging so definitely want to hear the uncut version instead of what you gloss over which leads to my next fact.
3. I love people with deep life stories.You could've been a hustler, a former lady of the corner, whatnot but honestly I appreciate people who proudly say- I had my days but I'm restored now or am working on it. They walk with their heads high because they know their worth regardless of what people say to them.
4. If I can help you in anyway- definitely- I will help you even if it is to my detriment at times. I care deeply for people and I just could've met them. God & people have shown me such kindness- I have no reason to be stingy with the love I've been blessed to have in my life.
5. I run with a lot of people. I have different groups of friends and I don't like people who get all possessive making requirements for me to stay within a type of circle. I let go and let flow. I've survived without anyone in my life so as important as people are in my life- I can survive without. The only being I can't survive without is God. #thatsall. Play your position and if you don't like it- keep it moving.
6. I KEEP it moving! I don't stay down long. I PUSH FORWARD. Perseverance is one of the crucial keys of life. Mistakes are only final when you give up. Failures are the mother of reinvention. Reinvention the mother of Success!!
7. I don't define success & happiness by what I have or someone has. Beautiful moments just tickle my spirit to its deepest core. I thrive off that- touching someone, being touched by someone, or just a serene moment reminding me of something greater. It may be a smile returned by a stranger, a random act of kindness, a ray of sunshine, getting Snickers from a friend, someone remembering me- it all adds to my joy. Money can't buy me nothing of significant worth.
8. LOVE LOVE LOVE Fashion! Harper's and Glamour subscriber! When the designers unleash their collections- you best believe I'll be going through pictures to find the next trends, and how I will apply it to my personal style. I don't believe in following a trend but creating & adding to your style.
9. I love a good *clean* joke, witticisms, and friendly intense banter with friends!
10. The most attractive attribute I like out of men is a holistic maturity. A man who takes responsibility for his successes and mistakes. If he can hold intelligent & honest conversation - that's major for me. Throw in a beautiful blazer, well-fitting slacks, beautiful tie, and a sensuous after-shave/cologne- I'm out lol.
11. I LOVE to GO out and BE out! I'm not a clubber but I love to go to events with fun friends. Exploring the city and what's going on. Gala's, party's, plays, outdoor concerts, kayaking trips, nature walks, bbq's, beach trips etc. Staying home on the weekends for me is cruel and unusual punishment!! Really, I drive myself nuts staying home during that time.
12. Which goes hand in hand with this fact. I was made for CITY LIFE. I know crazy right?? I'm from a teeny weeny island but I love the city. I'm pushing to move inside the city aka DC downtown this August. Love the buzz.
13. I have no desire to be married right now. I wonder sometimes if there's something maybe off with me since I see a lot of people I went to college with getting married but that just makes me more apprehensive (hope they have good prenups). However, I do want to be married in a couple of years but I'm not pressed (yet). Guess when you have a fabulous single life, I really don't see why I NEED to FEEN to be married. I'm not scared to be alone.
14. Even when I get married- I don't really see me doing the housewife thing. I'll be dedicated to my children but it will be in a modern way. I'm a non-traditionalist (if you can't tell!) so yeah- I want to take em all over the world so they know that they are HIGHLY blessed & FAVORED to be borne in the society that they are. I actually might do a type of half in school, half some type of satellite homeschool thing so that they can experience their textbooks. I just really want them to gain LIFE EXPERIENCE and hopefully that will help to mature well.
15. I love to be creative! I love to dance- my room is my favorite dance floor! I love my curly fro- SO HAPPY I went natural!
I love to step to my own beat but I love company on my way Heavenbound.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
P.S to my friends: feel free to add in ;-)
