My Sunshine Has Come!


My Sunshine Has Come!

This morning I woke up feeling myself.  Yeah, darn right I was.  After a great conversation last night with a dear friend who was pushing me to succeed, I got up ready to take on the world.  So I picked out a cute leopard dress (with a red belt), a red blazer, red heels, and a pop of red lipstick; and I knew I had it going on.  My confidence was on ten and I felt great. 

Despite knowing that it was going to rain, my clothes just might get wet, and my makeup might ruin, I got up and did the “thang.”

As you would know, most of my drive to work consisted of heavily cloudy skies; still I was unbothered.   I drove down the interstate bumping my music with the windows down, enjoying the breeze of the morning as the wind pressed against my cheeks and blew the tresses of my hair.  I smiled at life.  I thanked God for this beautiful day and was determined that I would embrace the moment. Then something happened! Out of nowhere, the sun began to shine so bright that I could hardly see.

I began to squint my eyes because the rays were so brilliant and bright. I took out my phone and I 
captured the moment. Why? Because it reminded me that regardless of what was happening around me, the sun would shine.

Three years ago, I felt like my life was spiraling out of control.  To say my world was cloudy would be an understatement.  Rain was pouring and there was no end in sight.  After months of crying and moping, I began to recognize that I was in a place in life called “process.”  It was a place that I had never been and was very unfamiliar.  Fortunately, through the preaching and teachings of my parents, I was prepared.  While I didn’t feel like it, I was.  They had prepared me with something more valuable than money.  They had given me faith and insight to know that storms only last for so long.  

During that time, I reckoned within myself that I would live my life dancing in the rain.  Be it natural or spiritual, I would learn how to embrace every moment in life and look upon it as a lesson.  I’d be lying to you if I said, ever since, life has been peaches and cream; but I will say that I have learned to find the reason for everything I have experienced. 

You may not always feel your best, but get up, dress up, and show up. You never know at what moment the sun is going to break through the clouds, but rest assured, it will! 

If you are in a place in your life and you feel overwhelmed, do me a favor.  Take a moment and breathe.  You are alive.  Be grateful for the gift of life.  I am sure it could be better, but it could also be worse.  Resolve this day that you will learn to dance in the rain because one day you will dance in the ray.

My name is Tiffany LaMeia and I am dedicated to becoming a better me, encouraging you to be a better you, and helping you to understand that you are #ENOUGH!  -Have a Prosperous Day!

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...

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! ...

You've Changed!

Ever had someone tell you “you’ve changed,” as if it was an insult?  I have too; and my response was “of course I’ve changed.”  I mean what is the point of living if you’re not going to change? Honestly, if we all take a look at our pictures from birth, adolescents, teen years, college years, and even last year, I can guarantee that something about us have changed.   As long as we live, we will change; but I have found that people are more accepting of organic change than they are of intentional change. A few years ago I made a conscious decision to change.   This change was the equivalent of going into a dressing room and changing from sweats to a formal gown. It was drastic, and it was intentional.    I knew that I had been living a sub-par life.   I wasn’t utilizing my education and experiences to help others, and I had gotten in a place where I settled for mediocre.   I was tired of status quo and determined that there was more to lif...
