For every ending in our lives, there is a new beginning. Rather than focus on the events and experiences of the past, I choose to focus on all the good and great things God has planned for my future.

I’m happy to say I achieved most of my goals this year. But I also failed at a few too. All because I failed to create a clear plan of action. And because my actions weren’t planned, systemized, routinized or even verbalized, my goals didn’t materialize.
One of the things I learned late in life is that a life lived without vision leads to a life without direction, passion, power, purpose or significance.
🙋🏽♀️I decided to stop trying to control my destiny through my actions. My choices. My decisions. My planning.
🙋🏽♀️I decided to stop chasing purpose…..
Pain and Pressure
Not too long ago, I was telling a friend how much I had grown over the past 3 years and she wanted to know my secret. So I simply said, “pain and pressure.” I think most of us want to grow personally AND professionally but we wouldn’t dare ask for more pain and pressure to be added to our lives right?
The Voice of Fear
11 years ago on May 1st, I lost my mother to ovarian cancer. She had battled the disease for 3 years and died a few weeks after her 49th birthday. I remember my mother saying during her last few weeks of life that she had to get better because she still had a purpose to fulfill on this earth. When I heard these words, I remember saying in my heart:
“I don’t want to arrive at the end of my life believing I have yet to fulfill my God-given purpose. I want to be able to say with confidence that I have fulfilled it.”
He’s always there. Lurking in the shadows. Glaring. Staring. Blaming and blaring.
So I asked:
Who are you? What do you want from me? Why do you constantly pursue and accuse me?
Why won’t you leave me alone? Why do you torment me? Stop obscuring my sight!
Can’t you see I’m tryna move forward, and make moves with my life?
I demand to know who you are! I demand to know what you want!!
Show me your face now! So we can get on with this fight!
Why Do We Apologize?
Have you ever wondered why we (especially women) are so apologetic? Were we born this way or were we socialized this way? Maybe it’s not either/or but both/and. Do you feel like you always need to apologize for who you are or the decisions you make?
