Men you are the most misunderstood, underappreciated, and often overlooked creatures of all on the planet. Why? You do what you can for who you can, and your actions are seen as something you are supposed to do. Who said it’s a requirement that you must take care of others? Men go out of their way to provide, profess, and protect and it’s seen as the way it’s supposed to be because you are a man. Is it not an individual’s job to provide for themselves? Men work hard, build, and establish a kingdom and you’re told you need someone inside it other than yourself to make it a home. They say you need someone to share your hard work with. Since when can’t men make their kingdom a home? Since when is it not a thing for them to take their time and find a wife when they feel ready to do so? Men father children and is present in their lives, support and there to guide them but it’s seen as they ought too because women been doing it for years. Ladies, you get recognition all the time. Although some see it as men are fronting and it’s not genuine.
The point is what men do is followed by a watered-down excuse not highlighting, praising, or recognizing the honest and pureness of a man. Men have the whole world placed upon their shoulders as soon as they walk out the door in the mornings. They are met with stressors from every direction until they walk back in the door of their home.
What they need more of is love, support, respect and well everything women require and ask for but don’t give. Requiring someone to give you the world but you not being able to give it back in return is preposterous. Society has placed a very high standard on our men and quite frankly its impossible for men to keep up with the ever-changing demands of the world he is surrounded by. Raise up your men. Support your men. Recognize your men. Love your men. Respect your men.
Men are showing you who they are but if its not recognized or appreciated as such they change it up. They change it up because they are doing what they can with what they have and it’s not good enough for you. When they change then the negative talk really becomes amplified. Who’s to blame? Who’s in fault for making a difficult situation more difficult?
Men keep living your life the best way you know how, following God, serving others, and taking care of your responsibilities. Don’t spend valuable time worried about the negative talk circulating about what you do and don’t do. As long as you can sleep peacefully at night knowing you’ve done all you can, don’t stress about the rest. As a woman who understands, I salute you!

I try hard to stay clear of using the words 👉🏽never and always👈🏽. Why? 🤷🏽♀️ It’s hard to say what you will never do until you find yourself in that position and intense pressure is placed upon you.
Always is over selling because I don’t believe anything is always as it seems or is as constant as it’s claimed to be.
The next time you’re having a conversation with someone catch yourself when you’re on the verge of saying never and always. Situations change from one person to the next. And you maybe the one in a position you didn’t think you’d ever be in or find yourself having to make a choice or decision you didn’t think you would have to make.
Be open to any and everything if it serves a clear purpose in your life. And don’t judge others for the choices and decisions they make. You don’t know the struggle until you become a part of the struggle.
In 1865 the last enslaved people found out they were free. Thank you, Barack Obama, for making Juneteenth a National Holiday. Well deserved. This day means so many things for so many people. Slavery was in no way a kind act, it was just the opposite, cruel and unjust. However, we must pick up the pieces, mend them together, praise our ancestors, keep their legacy alive and march on in the freedom they paved for us through the adversaries they endured and had to face for so many years. Let’s put aside the hate. Put aside the malice. Put aside the anger that brews in the inside when thoughts of the past threaten to creep in and overcome us. Let’s make our ancestors proud by celebrating all we have overcome and a victory that is not yet won but is better and sweeter than before. Happy Juneteenth.

Worrying about what others think of you, what you do and how you choose to live your life has nothing to do with you. If you know who you are, walking in your purpose and living life for you it won’t matter what others say about you. You become unbothered by them.
The trouble is when you allow others opinions of you, for you and over your life to control you. If this is you, do you know what this means? It means you are unsure of who you are, don’t know your purpose and living your life to please people.
When you live your life for other people you never (which is a very strong word) please them. There will always be something with them. Something more they want from you, more they want you to do to benefit them. Don’t you know if you live your life for others you’ll be on a constant rollercoaster? One minute you’re up and the next minute you’re down. How about choosing your happiness over theirs because chances are you won’t be able to make them happy no matter what you do.
Trying to live up to others expectations will stress you out! It’s depressing. If you find yourself in a constant battle with depression, anxiety, worrying, restless nights, isolation, energy depleted, attitude is on 1000, your mood is all cross the place, you notice people run the other way when they see you coming, perhaps people in your own household are tiptoeing around you and afraid to approach you or have a conversation because they don’t know how you will react. Perhaps you wonder why people ghost you and don’t want to be bothered. Even they get tired of showing up and implementing change to deal with you and your sour patches. The signs are there for you to stop being a poisoner to people and what they want. There is a reason and a solution to the madness.
I’m sure you heard the saying “there’s a time and place for everything.” I understand what that means now. I used to be in a hurry for things. I wanted it to happen when I wanted, how I wanted and at the exact time I wanted. It doesn’t work that way. All things in due timing. Especially if you are relying on God to provide, supply and release the blessings that has your name on it. For the longest time I knew I had a passion for writing. I also knew this little head of mine was flooding with dreams, goals, creative and game changing thoughts and ideas.
When a word or phrase would come to mind I would type it up, text it to myself, send it to myself on messenger or jot it down. I did this because I didn’t want to loose what seemed to be a brilliant thought. I wanted it to be somewhere when I was ready to use it. I knew eventually I would get around to putting it all together and share it one day. Well, recently I decided to pull it all out. Not because I had lots of information stored everywhere but because I have been doing some soul searching, learning who I am, establishing a closer relationship with the Lord and reflecting over my life. I realize that I have so many talents and gifts that are just floating around in my phone, on fb, on paper and on my computer. What purpose does that serve me or anyone else? Not one.
So When I decided to pull out my stored info I shocked myself at the things I read. It almost moved me to tears because the information I read was the advice I was giving other people but wasn’t following myself. What a revelation, right?! I was trying to save everyone else, help everyone else find happiness and become one with self and the Lord and all the while I’ve been unhappy chasing and wanting what didn’t chase or want me and controlling my situation. How many of you know that when you try to control a situation or the things in your life you end up empty? You can’t keep pouring into someone else’s cup if you don’t have anything left to pour into yours. God has a way of revealing everything you need at the right time you need it.
Can you believe after carefully putting the information together which consist of my thoughts, ideas, feelings, wisdom gained over the years, trails and errors, heartache, pain, sadness, lessons learned, and so much more I was able to to break it down, categorize and designate the knowledge I learned to its appropriate places to reveal it to others AND the end product is found in 4 books!! Yes, unheard of I know but what’s for you is for you. Take a look at what’s to come! Stay tuned for sneak peeks of each. Copies can be ordered in the following months. God didn’t lie when He said “if He is for you who can be against you.” He heard my prayers and He is delivering on His promises. This is truly my year and I want you to be encouraged and be still and KNOW that your season in just over the horizon. Don’t give up on the desires of your heart, your dreams, goals and the things you believe. Keep pushing and reaching for what’s in store for you.
Thank you for sticking around, reading my content and believing in me. Much love to each of you.
Focusing on the negative aspect of being alone is not a good thing. It brings sadness, sends you into a depressed state and it disturbs your peace. Why not see it as a time of reflection? Why not see it as a time to get your life in order so that you can welcome someone in your life? Why not see it as a time to draw closer to God so that He can give you the desires of your heart?
Use the “alone” time that you have been given to reflect on why you are alone. Use that time to set goals, set boundaries, work on you and accomplish those things you’ve been wanting to do for quite some time.
Being alone is not the end of the world. Being alone is actually a good thing. You deserve to be alone with your thoughts, your feelings and yourself. One way to view being alone is seeing it as the end of an era of your life and the beginning of another.
Focus on all the positives of being alone vs seeing it as boring, too quiet, no affection, no attention and no love. Having someone that is not benefiting your growth but hindering it is has served you no purpose. Growth is when you have someone willing to take the ride with you so that both of you can grow into something beautiful. Together. Until you have that, until that comes into your life embrace being “alone” because rediscovering who you are makes all the difference. This time is meant to prepare you for the moments you’re not alone anymore. Love is waiting but alone time is needed. Your light is just as bright when you are alone. Shine baby shine. You owe it to yourself.
The moment you start focusing on Jesus you’ll instantly see change. You’ll wonder why you didn’t realize He was what you needed all along.
We look to people to fulfill us. We look to them to be everything we are not so we can feel better about ourselves. This destroys you and it destroys the relationship you think you have with them. Why? It’s simple no one deserves to be used at the expense of your benefit. You don’t deserve goodness by robbing someone else of theirs. What you blindly do to cause harm, hurt, shame, sadness and suffering in others will be revealed. Ask yourself is it worth loosing your friendship, relationship or your salvation over?
When you know you are doing something you shouldn’t, continue indulging in habits that’s served you no purpose or act a way you aren’t proud of change it. Understand you can’t do it alone. You need the power of Jesus to help you break the strongholds of this world so that you are no longer operating out of a place of fear. Fear of facing the truth about yourself and recognizing that it’s not always others and what they do that cause you to react or think a certain way. It’s you. So I encourage you to look up to Jesus and let Him help you through your mess.
