Get Out of Your Way …

Happy Sunday Team: I trust that everyone had a very productive week and if not I want to share a few steps that you need to overcomer to get out of your way and push towards your purpose and prosperity. 1)       Worry or Pray but you can’t do both : Stop worrying about things that you cannot change and focus on the things that you can. Give your worries to higher power and trust in the path that is laid out for you. 2)       Be Accountable : Stop blaming other people for where you are in life because at the end of the day our decisions put us where we are but we have a choice to learn and progress or complain and stay where we are. 3)       Be realistic : Stop expecting perfection from others when you are not perfect. You cannot expect what you don’t project. 4)       Remove CAN’T from your vocabulary : No further explanation is needed just do it 5)    ...

Missing You

This is by far the hardest thing I must write in a while but the only way to get through is to go through. So here I go Mother’s Day this year was the hardest. You may ask how your mother has been dead for 18 years now but it still hurts but this year was different because my paternal grandmother wasn’t here. It was like a double heart break and although I spent the day with my maternal grandma my heart was still aching. I have tried since she passed away to cope to implement the tools she instilled in me on how to deal with death. Never question God and I haven’t. Trust God’s word and I have. My grandma taught me so many lessons, she has so much faith in me, in family but the one thing she never taught me was how to live with her. When she passed away I asked the question, “How do you heal your hurt, when your hero dies?”  I wish I had answer but I don’t and have been slowly spiraling that has come to a silent but emotional head on Mother’s Day.  I have going to throug...

How to Live Alone

Would you believe me if I told you that at thirty years old I have never truly lived alone?   I have been in and out of relationship for the last seventeen years of my life? I have a big family that is very close knit? I have never been alone and to be honest now as I sit down I finally come to the conclusion that although I have always had someone in my life, I have always been lonely. Most people get that confused because I know that I did because I thought being alone and being lonely where the same thing but I was sadly mistaken. As I clung tightly to people and bad relationship I was slowly loosing myself until December 31 st 2015.   IF you read my blog then you know that at Watch Night Service 2015 I had a break down but I now see that is something that I needed in order to get to where I needed to be. I stayed in relationships, clung onto people not because I had a fear of being alone because to be honest the best times I have is when I am by myself...

This is Me... Book

"This Is Me.." is a collection of poetry the chronicles my life from childhood to adulthood. This book has truly been a life time in the making, I discovered the healing powers of writing when I was young girl being called on to provide words of peace and encouragement at family funerals and functions. I embraced the healing powers of words and writing became like therapy to me. Making the decision to publish this book was a really hard one because although I devote my life to helping others and I am now a pretty open person, this book digs deep into my issue's with insecurity,  my family relationship, my personal relationships, my faith and relationship with God. I not only pulled stories from my own life but from the lives of others that impacted me. It took a lot of prayer to get me to the point where I can truly bare myself entirely to anyone who wants to read and I am not doing for the money or fame, I am doing it because I spent so much of my life, not living...

Steps to self Care

I saw this is one of many news feed and added my little spin to it and  wanted to share it with you all. 1. If it feels wrong, do it : I know that this seems simple but its one of the hardest things to do because sometimes the heart and mind battle with the knowledge of knowing what's wrong and not doing it. 2. Say "exactly" what you mean : At times we are so consumed with saying the right thing that we dont say anything at all. I challenge you to put your fears and political correctness away and say what you feel, politely of course 3.Don't be a people pleaser :  People that care about you don't need pleasing they are pleased when you are being yourself. 4.Trust your instincts: As simple as that 6.Never speak bad about yourself: You are what you speak into existence , so the next you speak of yourself, speak of your greatness, your kind nature and your success 7.Never give up on your dreams : As long as you are still breathing , then your dreams are s...

Woman To Woman

Ladies, why do we have to come at each others throat when it comes to a man and how come we never hold ourselves or the male accountable for the drama that we put ourselves in. So, let me break it down to you, woman to woman before you can love anyone else you have to first love yourself fully, flaws and all. I know a lot of you, are sucking your teeth and rolling your neck saying " I love ME" but truthfully look at some of the situations that you have put yourself in and then ask yourself " Do I really love ME?  If you need some help allow me to elaborate, I have a couple of situations that  I have seen over and over in 2012 that may help you answer the question.  If you agree or have been in every situation I mention  doesn't mean you are a bad person , you may love yourself this is strictly my opinion and you are more than welcomed to disagree. 1. If you fall for unavailable men : If all of your relationships start off by that man being in a relationship w...

It's not YOU

Often when things go wrong, I find myself asking myself "Is it me", I use to honestly feel like if a person didn't like me, if someone hurt my feelings, and even if  something happened in a relationship that it must have been something that I had done wrong. You see I know me and I am very passionate person and any and all my realtionship when I love I love HARD and it's not nothing I wouldn't do for you. I recently learned the hard way that you can do everything right and you can still get hurt. You see I was in a relationship for half of my life and truth be told at one time we were really in love but somewhere between there and here, our goals changed. I know what I want and he doesn't have a clue, I work hard and he is looking for easy street. Never the less, the relationship ended and I was hurt eventhough I knew it was the right thing for all involved it did leave me feeling " Is it me" what did I not do to make this work. You see...

Mirror Mirror

I have one question : " What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you recognize the person that's looking back at you or are you looking at stranger. I truly wonder how many people will answer this question honestly and you don't have post it because one thing none of can escape and that's the truth that we have in ourselves. So, I will answer first until about three weeks ago I saw everything in the mirror but me. I saw pain, confusion, hurt, family, love, hate, anger, stress, and even death but I could not see me. You see the hardest thing for most people to admit is that we are not strong all the times and that we as human beings a flawed and we make mistakes.  So, I saw all my mishaps, successes and failures in the mirror but I couldn't see me. Why, you ask because for brief moment in my life I started to forget who I was and more importantly WHO'S I was. You see life can sometimes beat you down so low to the point that you can't ...
