Life Lessons With Coach Destiny

Doing some research for an upcoming group session, I came upon the article at Oprah.com on finding your emotional balance. I know the importance of finding your emotional peace.  I hope this helps you.. Step 1: Emotional Checkup Sit down with a calendar and ask yourself how you've been feeling over the past couple of weeks—depressed, anxious, joyful, angry? Do you seem uncharacteristically blue and lethargic? If yes, can you see a good reason for it? The questions may seem obvious, but if you don't ask them, Rosenthal says, "it's easy to shove the problem out of your mind." Next check your expectations. The big mistake people make is confusing emotional balance with happiness, says Alice Domar, PhD, director of the Mind/Body Center for Women's Health at Boston IVF and the author of Self-Nurture . "The huge number of people on Prozac in this country includes many, I think, who were experiencing life's ups and downs normally but had an expectation...

This last month in a half has been super crazy for me, I mean i was working seven days strait , I published my first book, I am still growing my life coaching practice as well as my partnership Collaboration; Partner In Grind. I have been strapped in this emotional roller coaster and i did I mention I turned 28. I would be lying if I said the last 2 years of my life have truly humbling as well a great learning experience. When I say I lost everything that I thought was important, I went from having my own place with a brand new care making 35,000 a year to living with my brother,  riding the bus and working my ass off just to get by. At first I blamed it on Satan like most of do when our lives seems to be spinning out of control but in truth it was GOD knocked me down a peg but in truth he knocked me back to me knees. Even though I was going through  that I thought was the hardest time of my life, when I look back at it now I see that GOD like the great person he is wa...

As I sit down at the Kitchen table  and I let Beyonce' flood through my ears, I am thirty minutes away from my 28th birthday, it is crazy because there was a time that I didn't beleive that I would live to see 28 let alone would have accomplished so much. If you would have told me that I would be where I am right now in life, I would not have believed you, I would have straight called you a "liar" but I want to take time to thank GOD, my family and everyone that I love for not giving up on me even when I had counted myself out, you all never lost faith in ME. So, here I am , READY FOR THE WORLD and all it has to offer me, I am not turning back or around. When I am done, all I want is for the people I leave behind to say " She lived a great life".  I have so many dreams that I had given up on that I have went back and accomplished and so many yet to still dream. I am not perfect and I will never be but I will always give my all, I will leave my mark on this...

If you have been following my blog then you that I am a very spiritual person and I have been listening to this song by Deitrick Haddon called "Have Your Way", its an a real old gospel song that he has retweeked but if you have ever taken the time to listen to the words of the song, then you can truly see how powerful the surrender can be and also how we often we get the blessing that we forget who blessed us. I could type a 100 different points from this song but instead I am posting in video in hopes that it will minister to your soul and help you to just allow God (or your higher power) to use you because it is the only way that you will get to where you want to be in life.

"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...

So, I have been having this on my mind for a while and although I love social media it is how I spread the word about my business, share photos and them crazy reposts that I am known for but  what I do not like about it theses attention  games that people play on them. I always hated ideas of even pageants because you give someone a number which is always been borating to me but on Facebook, instagram, etc. you see people games like “Smash or Pass”, “Date, maybe, pass, ““TBH my first impression of you”. It makes me feel sad that people are actually turning to other people that they may not even know for acceptance, approval or just plain attention. What has the world come to where my value is placed on a picture where people decide whether or not they would like to have sex with me or not. I mean really let’s be honest for most guys and some girls, it really doesn’t even matter what you look like because everyone one looks the same in the dark. But the fact that we ...
