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...

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'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...
