Who is in your trusted support system? It should be a well-known fact by now that in addition to my weekly blog posts, I also share a short, one-minute, motivational message every Monday of each week. This past week I shared a message/tip/piece of advice that was very fitting for me in my current season. I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T what does that spell? […]
“I Have A Testimony!”
When did your “mess” turn into your “message”? Regardless of your religious affiliations, I am sure you have heard somewhere, sometime in your life someone say “your test will soon be your testimony!” Or “your mess will turn into a message!” Those sayings are to encourage us to not give up, understand that we experience the valley before reaching the […]
“Can I Ask You A Question? – Living Single Part 4”
Will you answer the question I pose at the end of this post? I’m healthy. I have a loving family. I am working my dream job. I have strong friendships. I don’t own my car. I don’t own my house. I don’t have a man. And I sometimes beat myself up for what I eat or for not going to […]
“Give Your Dream A Chance”
How do you start off your days? A lot of motivational messages use metaphors related to playing a sport or fighting a war. You will often hear motivational speakers ask rhetorical questions that will force you to compare yourself to an NBA All-Star player or a military man on the battlefield. Those motivational messages often include statements such as “the […]
“A Groundhog’s Best Friend is…”
Did you ever have to end a friendship with someone you thought was a friend? There are many different stages of life. Highs and lows. Setbacks and successes. Learning and unlearning. Making friends and losing some. I like to also think that there are many different stages of friendships. Think about it — how old were you when you made […]
“OFF THE RECORD”
How do you normally spend your weekends? The Google Calendar app is one of my all-time favorite apps. As a former Android user, who recently transitioned to the iPhone, I just couldn’t let go of the Google apps. I use Google Calendar rather than the Apple Calendar. I use Google Chrome rather than Safari. I’m a creature of habit. But […]
“Visions Manifested”
Have you ever manifested anything? Last week I shared that I wasn’t setting any true “new year resolutions” this year. This year I am striving to do everything in my life in EXCELLENCE. To take my current obligations seriously. And I mean that. One way for me to do that is to manifest certain things in my life — envision […]
“2022, We Welcome You!”
What’s holding you back? Around this time last year, I wrote a blog post: “Jump the Hurdle! It’s Okay If You Fall.” That post was all about setting goals and resolutions for the upcoming year. It was written with a sense of joy and encouragement. “What do you want to achieve this year? What did you learn about yourself (or […]
“F-R-I-E-N-D-S-GIVING”
What quality do you need to have in a friend? Ahhh, it’s that time of year again. Where the newer generations have created yet another reason to eat, drink, and be jolly with the people they love. Thanksgiving may occur every November, but in many houses and apartments everywhere, so does Friendsgiving. What is Friendsgiving you may ask? Friendsgiving is a […]
“A Haunted Clubhouse”
Do you enjoy writing stories? If I didn’t know it existed, I wouldn’t care what happened to it. But now I know. And you will too! Please enjoy my high school Honors English “Writing Prompt #2” written in December 2006. Don’t ask me what the question or assignment was. Fitting for Halloween I reckon! Mystery? Horror? Thought-provoking? Relevant? Trash? You […]
