What Time Is It?

Life is an amazing teacher if we allow ourselves to become students.  As I get older I understand the value of time and the significance in knowing just how to spend my time.  So often we tend to invest time in things and people who serve us little to know purpose, while neglecting the very ones that pour into and sacrifice for us.

We spend time on jobs that will continue with our without our presence.  We invest in people's business who have no idea who we are.  We focus our energy in things that will never reap dividends to us, and then we become frustrated when we realize that we have wasted time on the wrong things.

One of the greatest lessons I have learned is to know where to invest my time.  I will share with you 3 important areas of life to always invest time in.

1.) God- Allow God to be your foundation.  Often times we only rely on Him when we hit a brick wall or the storms of life began to brew.  Build a relationship that is solid.  When you walk with God you will have a sure foundation to stand on regardless of what life brings.

2.) Yourself-  Stop putting yourself last.  When you constantly put others in front of yourself, you often become resentful of their success.  It's your fault if you don't take time to care for your own well-being..  It's your fault if you don't pursue your dreams.  It's your fault if you don't live to your greatest potential.  You can't blame anyone else.  It is possible to work full time, have a family, and still pursue your dreams.  It's time for you to prioritize!  If you don't do it now, you will watch someone else live the dream you dreamt.

3.) Family & Friends-  Make time for those who love you.  In a world were so many people are cold hearted, it's important to embrace those individuals who truly and sincerely love you.  They are the ones who hold you down and have your back no matter what; cherish them. Stop procrastinating.  Take that family vacation.  Go on that girls trip or hang with your boys.  Value those who value you!


Listen, life is unpredictable and time is precious.  Please make sure you are using your timely wisely.  ❤️

How Do You See You?

Five years ago, I was in, what I call, for lack of a better words, a dark place. I call it that because I was in a place where I couldn't see beyond the now. Honestly, I was depressed and oppressed, but I pressed. There were so many nights that I cried myself to sleep. There were days in which I struggled to eat and was just plain old exhausted; but I kept going.  Every single day, I got up! I got up and and I made a conscious decision to push through the pain. You see I am what you would call a "church" girl. I'm that preacher's kid that LIVED at church. I'd heard enough sermons to carry me through practically anything I could face, and I knew that somehow, if I just kept pushing, if I just kept going, something would break. Things would get better, and they did.   Although I was in a dark space, there was a hope that I had, that was bigger than what I could see. My vision, my faith, and my imagination had shown me "me" in a diff...

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...

Can we go out on a date?

Can we go on a date? Ever been on a date that was so romantic you didn’t want it to end?   The past couple of years I have had some magical moments.   There was so much effort put into the detail of each date that just reflecting, I smile.   Looking back I wonder why men put so much attentiveness into making a good first, second, or third impression, but as time pass they often use their unwillingness to be creative as an excuse to simplify or do away with date night.    Here recently I asked a friend to suggest a topic for me to blog about, and she said “how to date.” Whether you are single or married, please know that it is important to a woman that her man continues to date her.   I know many men reading this have already put up your guard, but relax.   If you pay attention to what I am about to tell you, then you might just see a new side of your woman. 1.) Pay attention to her!   Most times men will mess up when they try to take th...
