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 […]
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 […]
The other morning I awakened with a few thoughts on my mind so I decided to write about them. I posted my thoughts on Facebook and the response was phenomenal and unexpected. I received so many “likes/loves” as well as inbox/text/email messages from so many people. Hmmmmm….. Sooooo, I decided to share what I wrote with you […]
I was feeling a bit nostalgic last week when I found an old college ID in a drawer while searching for AAA batteries…It made me think back in time when I was full of dreams and praying for endless opportunities that would help make those dreams come true. I started thinking about how we just […]
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 […]
What would you tell your 16-year-old self? When I look at this picture of myself at 16 years old, I have to chuckle because I remember when the photo was taken. I remember that it was at my first job working at a bakery on Church Ave. in Brooklyn. I would come directly after attending […]
I had an abortion. Over my lifetime, several of them. Hmmmm…. Yes, I terminated my pregnancies when I knew that I was going to give birth to negativity, doubt, self-hatred and a demolition of dreams. When faced with the choices of giving life to these feelings or walking them to death’s door, I chose the […]
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 […]
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. […]
