This is a crazy time — almost surreal in some ways. Between the impact of the pandemic, and the civil protests throughout the world, many of us are struggling. Struggling to understand. To know. To make sense of it. To grasp it all. And to figure it all out. And, it’s hard. Our emotions are […]
Here’s What I Know: It’s okay to be confused. It’s okay to feel unprepared. And uncomfortable. Perhaps afraid. Maybe even second-guessing yourself. But not okay to feel unworthy. Undesirable. Undeserving. Unloved. And, underestimated. Never let anyone make you feel “Un-Anything.” Because you are more than that. And you deserve more than that. If they do, […]
Here’s What I Know: So look… Stop falling for the bullsh**. Stop accepting the bullsh**. You are worth so much more than that. So stop accepting it. Start trusting and believing that you own the power of change. And start to change it. Change how you think first. So you can change how you behave […]
Creating life lesson plans that help shape our lives helps us to realize what we need to do in order get what we want. We also learn that if things do not fit the scheme we have created, we must end it. I like to compare it to a teacher creating lesson plans for the […]
There have been some things in my life that I probably should have just walked away from. Certain situations, certain people, and certain things. But I made that conscientious decision to stay. Stay to fight for it. Stay to believe in it. Stay to trust in it. And stay because I just felt “I […]
You are a Liar, a Cheat, and a Thief! Yes, you are. Why? You are a Liar because you tell yourself that you are going to work hard to accomplish your next dream, and you don’t. You convince yourself that you don’t have enough time to get it done. And that you don’t understand the […]
This morning I decided at the last minute that I wanted to get my hair “done.” I wanted it to be shampooed and styled by a professional because they do such a better job than I can. Knowing that my “regular” stylist would be unavailable at the last minute, I decided to go to my […]
Sometimes we reach points in our lives when we feel trapped. We feel as though we have gone as far as we can go but we still are not happy. We want to go further, but we are just unsure about the direction we need to take. As though we are spinning in circles and […]
As we begin this New Year with lots of hopes, promises and some resolutions at the forefront of our minds, I thought that this edited excerpt from my #1 National Bestseller, “Get Over It! How to Bounce Back after Hitting Rock Bottom,” was very appropriate to share as my first blog post of 2016. G= Getting Over […]
Sometimes we just feel “Unpretty” and we cannot explain it. It is just a moment in time that we can actually say “I woke up like this!” And I am not even talking about the way we look physically. I am not talking about having a “bad hair” day, or about our jeans fitting too […]
Here’s What I Know: If someone is in your life who pulls while you push, Let them go. If someone is in your life who makes you feel bad just so they can feel good, Let them go. If there is someone walking around in your world who puts salt in your sugar, then you […]
Watching “The Wiz” reminds me of how many times we forget what we are born with… A heart to love. A brain to enable us to figure out how to follow our dreams. A portion of courage that allows our Faith to be stronger than our fear. You see, God has already made us equipped and empowered. […]
#MyLifeMatters Sometimes I forget that I really matter. I get so caught up in doing everything for everyone that I don’t do for myself. You see, I get caught up in that “Superwoman” syndrome and focus on the things that I need to do, the things that I failed to do and the things that […]
