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.  ❤️

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...
