You Really Are #ENOUGH!

You Really Are ENOUGH!

In 2015, after experiencing a heart-breaking and life-changing 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 mistake. 

I believed that God’s failure to respond when and like I felt meant that He was unreliable.  When in all actuality, He was setting me up for a very successful future.  Looking back, I realize that I needed those moments of insecurity. I needed to get to the place in my life where I didn’t know my own value.  I needed that moment where I prejudged people by their exterior instead of their hearts. I needed to shut myself off to the rest of the world.  Why did I need those moments?  You see, at the end of those moments, I discovered something that spearheaded a movement.  I discovered “I AM #ENOUGH!” 

I realized that WE, regardless of size, color, scars, religious background, and economic status are all valuable.  I no longer have to look down on someone else because of my own insecurities.  I find beauty in the most unique faces.  I realize that I have no need to compete with anyone else.  I no longer allow my beauty to be defined by man, because it had already been defined by God.
So I stopped.  I stopped waiting for others to compliment me or see my worth. I discovered that some of the most critical persons are the most scarred, and when I did, I stop competing and started compelling others to know their own worth.  I devoted my life to help others discover their own value.  I started seeing life differently and I regained the power bestowed upon me by my Creator.

So do me a favor! When you say you are ENOUGH, say it from your heart.  Say it because you too have tapped into your own inner beauty, purpose, and worth.  Say it and mean it!  Because you my friend, really are ENOUGH!

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...

What's Driving You?

What’s Driving You? President Barack Obama said "it is only when you hitch your wagon to something bigger than yourself that you find your true potential." Months after I delivered my daughter, Destiny, I began to undergo a series of medical issues.   I experienced hair loss, extreme weight loss, nerve issues, panic attacks, muscle pain, and other health concerns that were challenging to diagnose.   I spent months going back and forth from one specialist to another with no end or diagnosis in sight.   My quality of life was not good and I found myself in a depression. There were times that I would’ve wanted to quit had there not been something greater driving me.   Every single morning, I looked into the eyes of my precious little girl and I found a reason to keep fighting.    She, without knowing it, became my driving factor here on earth.   She is the reason I work so hard. I don’t think it strange that while life was throwing curve b...

Life Is Good!

Life is Good! Yesterday, I had the opportunity to observe a beautiful little girl lying down on a tire swing as it was swaying back and forth in the breeze.  She had her hands stretched out and was chill and relaxed as she screamed these three words: "Life Is Good!" When we heard those words, my friend and I chuckled because we knew in her world, everything was just right! Despite all the political wars, cold-hearted people, and challenges in life, she, so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the breeze while swinging, felt life was good! After seeing that little girl so free and fulfilled , I began to wonder how many of us can really say life is good and mean it.   I know I can! Are things perfect? No!  Are there things that could be better? Yes!  But at the end of the day we have been blessed with breath in our bodies and so many other things that some are not fortunate to have.  I've learned the importance of maintaining a positive att...
