  • Learn to be Silent

    Just because you have something to say doesn’t negate the fact that you HAVE to say it. Things understood doesn’t need to be explained.

    If you haven’t already I encourage you to be silent the next time someone says something just to get a reaction out of you, does something that you don’t approve of or hurt you in anyway. Chances are they will know before they say it or shortly thereafter that they shouldn’t have said it what they said. They will hear it as soon as they speak it. If they follow up with tactics trying to get you to respond or ask you what you are thinking that means they know they messed up. Be silent. Let them wonder. Let them eat the words they just spoke into existence.

    Majority of the time silence makes others feel uncomfortable. You must learn that their uncomfortableness doesn’t have to affect you. Learning you can say something but choosing not to let it effect you just to prove a point, win up someone, be heard, have your feelings understood is when you hold the power and grow!

  • Wade In The Water

    Lets not forget our ancestors. Old negro spirituals helped them get through some of the hardest and most difficult times of their lives.

    “Wade in the Water was written before 1863, but was not officially published until 1901. Its’ Lyrics contain coded instructions to runaway slaves about how to avoid being re-captured. It suggests walking or “wading in the water” in order to hinder pursuing bloodhounds. The song is widely associated with the underground Railroad.”

    “The song also relates to the Bible. Its verses reflect the Israelites escape from Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus. The chorus refers to healing (John 5:4 NIV), “From time to time an angel of the Lord would come down and stir up the waters. The first one into the pool after each such disturbance would be cured of whatever disease they had.”

    “Wade in the Water” Produced and Performed by Cynthia Liggins Thomas.

  • What advice would “I” give someone starting a new relationship?? 👇🏾

    Learn the craft of being patient by taking things slow. Don’t be quick to get caught up in the ooh la laa stage, don’t be quick to post to social media, don’t be quick to flash the new boo in front of people, listen more than you speak, go beyond the fancy words and hear what they are truly saying, watch their actions. You don’t have to always point out the obviously, be silent. When they notice the silence they’ll figure out why. Silence wins over loudness any day.

    You’re 🫵🏽 welcome.

  • Respect

    RESPECT is regard to the feelings, wishes, rights or traditions of others.

    It doesn’t matter if you feel you aren’t disrespectful

    What matters is whether or not the other person feels you are.

    PLAN that helps with this ☝🏾

    1. Acknowledge their point is valid to them
    2. Apologize, it’s for them
    3. Remove thee from you
    4. Be true to you

    🤷🏽‍♀️WHY>>>>>when you “acknowledge” that’s saying you weren’t aware your truths would negatively impact them but you are sorry that it did.

    🟣You “apologize” to ask for forgiveness for offending them when that wasn’t your intent.

    🔵“Removing” someone out of your inner circle that constantly feels you being you is disrespectful towards them is necessary in protecting your peace.

    🟡“Being true to you”, well it speaks for itself. You’re choosing YOU🫵🏽!

    🟢 POINT>>>> we can’t continue going through life walking on egg shells because of others thin skin, emotional deficits, alter ego’s. If you have to consistently defend how you feel, your opinions and your truths, let go.

    🟠Having a simple conversation, making a statement or speaking your truth shouldn’t be a negative all the time. Life is too short people.

    ✔️Stop allowing people to make you be “perfect” when it’s simply “impossible”!

  • Finish The Fight

    1. Just because you’re going through stuff in the beginning it’s all about how you learn and correct those mistakes

    2. Recognize no matter how much you’ve messed up before, you can always start over today

    3. Learning what your triggers are will help you learn and not make the same mistakes
