Tiffany LaMeia Speaks

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff! While scrolling through social media or going through my every day life, I often see and hear people complain about even the smallest things in life.   In fact, some people have a knack for literally make a “mountain out of a mole hill.”   The truth is, no matter where you are in your life, you will always be presented with an opportunity to complain.  Your true growth comes when you choose to see the good in situations rather than always highlight the bad.  With our jobs and careers, we complain about pay, having to work too many hours, or not getting enough hours.  We complain if we feel management or  our colleagues don't like us.  Men complain that their women don’t “sex” them enough, but also say that she’s too needy, clingy, or requires too much attention.  Women complain that their men aren't considerate with time, but find fault when he doesn't work the extra hours of overtime, resulting in fi...

One of the greatest gifts that I received in my 30s was the gift of singleness.  While I would've loved for my marriage to work; I had to learn to embrace my reality. It was over, and a brand new opportunity was before me.  I had a choice to make.  Do I continue to bast in the pain of the past or do I establish a new norm?  While I knew it wouldn't be easy to make something beautiful out of an ugly situation, I was up for the challenge. I stretched and forced myself beyond my comfort zone.  I learned how to make small home repairs, change a bulb in my car, take out trash,  trim hedges, and most importantly I rid myself of the fear of being alone. I had to overcome the fear of terrors at night or tragic things happening while being home alone with my little girl. But I did it! I did everything I never thought I could do.  You see, life has a way of throwing obstacles and causing storms to rage, but we have to determine within ou...

PJ Morton said it best: “I don’t want to go through your phone... Some things are better left unknown." Take it from me, it’s not worth it. After spending a good portion of my life checking phone calls, direct messages, text messages, receipts, etc., it suddenly dawned on me that I was wasting my life trying to catch my significant other, cheating.   I mean… I wasted A LOT of hours and days consumed with the task of playing private detective all for naught.    I mean, If I found evidence, was I really going anywhere? Probably not!  Yet and still, I spent so much time stressing myself out over situations that were beyond my control. But now, I get it! Listen, if a person is going to be disloyal and unfaithful, they will go to extremes to dispose of the evidence.   There is NOTHING you can do to safeguard your heart from another person’s unfaithfulness, but what you can do is choose to accept the fact that you are dealing with such an individual and t...

Often times we find ourselves wishing for another opportunity to do something that we should’ve done, but didn’t do.   How many times have you lived with regret, not of the chances that you took, but of the chances that you didn’t take?   For years I found myself existing, rather than living, simply because I failed to realize that everything that I wanted to achieve and accomplish was just outside of my comfort zone.   Five years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined I’d be where I am today.   I lived in a box and was too fearful of the unknown.   Needless to say, at this point in my life, I realize I can do anything I set my mind to.   Why?   Because I know that failure only lies in the heart of mind of the individual that fails to try.   Today I encourage you to pursue your dream and goals.   Will there be adversity?   Yes!   Will there be opposition? Absolutely!   Will there be criticism?   No doubt!   Will ...
