Re-Birthing The Nation

  Get it off your chest “Knock knock. Who’s there? Fear. Fear who? We all have fears. If you don't… you are not human. As a child I would say things out of place.I did that a lot growing up saying stuff out of my mouth that had no business coming out of my mouth. Now granted we all have to fall to learn but somethings should be common sense right?  If it was common we wouldn't have mistakes like these. We all have to learn or relearn. Sometimes an uncomfortable situation makes you rethink. I made a comment that really should have been keep to myself to a sister/friend of mine. She herself even made the comment that "some thoughts should not be shared.” Overall the lesson she was trying to teach me was there's a time and place for everything & not to say everything that comes to your mind.” Even though there was no harm done, it's valuable to have people around you who correct you  in love.       Hold me to my truth. As for me though I need to get i...

  LeapFrog      Growing up I had this game called leap frog. It was an educational game. I love to learn. I appreciate being a student. Sometimes we don't take risks because of the fear of failure. I listen to motivational talks to help me achieve goals and to stay focused. One of my favorite motivational speakers is Lisa Nichols. Oh my, oh my she is one powerful speaker! She speaks from a place of gratitude and humility.  “You’re not afraid of dying… you are afraid to die before the world gets to see who you are.” Lisa N. Yea, that's what she said. I took it and ran off with it. Why? There is so much truth and light in that statement. I spoke death over myself, my life, my dreams and goals. I never really wanted to die. I knew old versions of me had to die so I could thrive in who and what I'm supposed to be.  Question -  Are you ready for a new life?  Are you willing to kill the old version of you to experience a newer you?  Are you ready...

  Unknown Ania D. You were born. You are now among the living. We grow up. Simple story of life. Then you start to wonder how you got here. Have you ever had questions that the answer was unknown at the moment? I have those moments plenty of times. Can I be honest? When me and my ex broke up I was scared she was going to get pregnant and married. My thoughts are wild. We haven't spoken in a while, so I called. Me calling and asking her the question “are you pregnant?” The answer was a no. Do you know how many nights and days I was constantly worrying about another human being's actions or decisions? I'm not going to get into detail of all of the emotions I  went through but lets say it wasn't always pretty.       Sometimes we won't get our answers. Sometimes we won't know. Sometimes we don't need to know. Maybe she is and doesn't want to tell me. Is that for me to know? No. We are not in control. My other ex said that to me too. God is in control. I wa...

  Let It Flow  For all of my music lovers, let's call out Toni Braxton! That's my girl. When I think about Toni her resilience, strength, courage and love all comes to mind. That makes Toni plus more. When you think about yourself, your current situation or just everyday life how do you let it flow? I know sometimes I can come off religious lol… just a firm believer. This time I want you to really dive deep into every detail small to large in your life.  For example, this morning I woke up. Layed in my bed for an extra 30 mins. I took a warm shower. Now this is when you get personal. I felt the water sink into my pores. I almost forgot I was in the shower ;). Dried off. I pampered myself with powder and shea butter, put on my clothes and started my day. Clean and fresh is always the go to! The point I'm making is… how you start your day is how you carry your day. Making time for yourself and your day is important. A wise man once said if we get caught up in the business o...

  The True Prize      There are so many promises we make to ourselves, families, friends, even GOD. Do we accomplish all of it? No. I think we put expectations on ourselves that weren't even supposed to be on us from the jump. That's the same thing as pleasing people. We people please to, keep the peace but go to war with ourselves. I call this blog the true prize because what are you really trying to aim for in life? Who are you satisfying? Who and what are you saying yes to?      What you say yes to, now enslaves you. You have to serve what you said yes to. For example, my Nana called. She needed assistance with moving her air conditioner. I was late. She called asking if what she asked of me was going to get done. I went over and completed the task and went home. See that's not people pleasing but simply saying yes to a task that was asked and it was done. Simple … right? We can say yes to jobs, money, relationships, trips, things that entice us rig...

     Encourage Yourself Today's lesson is to encourage yourself. A lot of people do this already. Not all is healthy or true. What you speak over yourself is what you become or manifest. Let me tell you a short story… There was a time I was driving local and even out of my hometown. At this time I was sharing my life with a partner of mine at the moment. They were experienced with driving such as I. Later down in the relationship a fear of traveling came about. When our relationship came to an end they made a comment that really stuck me. No cap… their comment really made a huge impact on my reality about myself and skillset. “We can’t do anything or go anywhere if you're scared to go on the damn highway!” Ladies and gentlemen it is okay if you are not ready to take certain steps even if you have done them in the past. Take a different step, one step at a time. S...
