Re-Birthing The Nation

  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...

  Faith>Fear Normally I always know what to write and what to say. This time I want to be vulnerable. Today I have an appointment to get a root canal done. Never experienced this type of dentistry in my 22 years of living. Growing up I used to get cavities a lot. I had to get my teeth cleaned daily. A couple years ago I had to get my wisdom teeth removed, but the removal surgery caused a lot of pain. I went through a traumatic experience which had led me not going back to the dentist.  Update prior before getting this canal done I had my friend and my father help me get to this current moment. Am I nervous, yes. Will I overcome it? Hell yea lol. Even though this is a scary moment for me, and it's a new experience, we never want to walk in fear. My faith in my dentist team, my father and myself got me to this moment where I can release pain. Sometimes God calls us into new rooms so that we can create new experiences. He promises not only to guide but to protect.  I have...
