Today is the day you must choose to live!

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 ourselves that we will not live in the remnants of the storms. We must choose to pick up the pieces and make the most of life. You'll never move beyond the hurt, pain, and the fears of the past, if you continue to live in it.

Know this, your past has a purpose. It should serve as a reminder for you and tool to help someone else, but you cannot stay in the past. It will cause emotional damage. When you are physically present but mentally absent from your current situation, you open the door for insane situations.

Today, decide to set yourself free. Regardless of how bad your past was, you have been given today! Today is the day you must choose to live! Live without regret! You may have been robbed of life in the past, but today you have the opportunity to regain control!

Can you cover me?

Can you cover me? In a world where relationship goals consist of having some one to "Netflix and Chill," I understand why men are confused about what women want and why women are afraid to tell a man what she wants. Men, your average woman of substance, seeking to be a wife, is not as concerned with how well you are in bed; she's focused on what's going on in your head. While she might commit to sex in an effort to satisfy you, she really wants more. She wants to know that you care and are concerned with the things that concern her. She wants to know that in a world that is cold and cruel that you will be her safe place and her protector. Many men have pursued me in vein thinking what I wanted was fame, finances, and fun times, when all I really need is to be covered! Yes! That's it! Can you cover me with your prayers and your support? Can you cover me with your heart and care for me as if I am the most valuable person in your w...

You Really Are #ENOUGH!

Y ou Really Are ENOUGH! In 2015, after experiencing a heart-breaking and life-changin g cycle of events, I found myself beaten, broken, and lost. Then one morning, while getting ready for work, I heard God softly whisper in my ear these three words: “You Are Enough!” At that time, I never imagined that my “I AM #ENOUGH” message once shared with my community and beyond, would spark so much buzz, interest, and self-empowerment. See for years, I lived in a box where I relied on external sources to validate and verify who I was. I had completely relinquished my rights to be who God created me to be. My happiness was centered on how other people treated me and my beauty was measured by the words that came from another man’s lips. I became very hypocritical in my everyday living. I preached a message that I stopped believing, and I asked people to trust a God that I didn’t trust. Why? I equated GOD to man, and that was my very first mis...

Men Hurt Too!

Men Hurt Too! Ever wondered why women live longer than men? Ever felt like you had to force your husband, father, son, or male family member to go to the hospital or doctor when you knew he was really bad sick? Ever wondered why men wait until it is practically too late to seek medical help or psychological advice? Maybe you haven’t because the society we live in seldom takes time to focus on the emotional state of our men. We spend countless hours coaching and mentoring our ladies on how to deal with pain, but when was the last time you saw a platform that helped men deal with theirs? I know it sounds absurd to think that a man, who is alive and breathing with blood running through his veins, will hurt if you stomp his toe or bleed if you cut him, but it happens. Why? Because he’s human, and while he may never admit it, he not only feels physical pain, but emotional pain too. Yep! That’s right! The cat is out the bag. MEN HURT TOO! ...
