Just a little love goes a long way. This is a fact that I realized long ago. Just doing small acts of kindness to bring a smile to someone else’s face is all it takes. When I make others feel good, it makes me feel good. If everyone lived by this, I often wonder whereContinue reading “Just a Little Love”

What a great weekend!!!! I went from spending four consecutive days in bed because of being in complete pain, to bouncing back and having an amazing second half of the week. Once I began to bounce back, I spent time with my Sweet Potato, did work for church, accomplished goals, celebrated friends, reconciled, made connections,Continue reading “Bouncing Back”

This weather keeps changing. Like the weather, we too, must continue to change, but for better. Reflecting as I often do, I realized three things. 1. I needed to change some things. 2. I am proud of my change thus far. 3. I still have more changes to make. My changes haven’t happened like theContinue reading “The Change In ME”

It’s ironic how people never realize what Domestic Violence can do to an individual, and ultimately, a family. I’m referring to any form of Domestic Violence. Wether it be physical, mental, emotional, sexual, or financial. Any type of abuse can be devastating, period. The lies, hate, and manipulation that is involved, completely destroys relationships, andContinue reading “The Trails 👣 of a Narcissist”

I’m Driving 20mph, and horns are blaring at me because I’m moving at a snails pace.  When the rain is added to the mix…nope! NOT GONNA WORK.   The way God’s people run out in traffic…at night…in the dark…eyes closed…onContinue reading “Thankful Through Disappointments”

Happy Saturday Yaaaalllll I’m so happy to be amongst the living.  So thankful to be moving about with purpose and feeling a bit better. Even on this rainy Saturday,  I take nothing for granted.   Just a week ago, things were so different.   Just a few days ago, the perspective was different.  By the grace ofContinue reading “A NEW DAY”

When realizing the fullness of God’s love, you will naturally want to love everyone around you. What I have realized is thatContinue reading “Self-Love”

Happy Thursday Yaaaalllll This is the first bit of sunlight I’ve seen since Saturday. Life has literally been kicking my butt. Nonetheless, I haven’t stopped praying, believing, or pushing. Most importantly, I haven’t stopped loving me! God tells us, that no matter how difficult life gets, He will never leave or forsake us. I believeContinue reading “Forever Changed”

After five years, I am RECOVERING STILL. STILL, pushing. STILL, moving. STILL, praying. I am STILL finding my reasons to live. It was five years ago that I threw in the towel, and God threw it back. He wasn’t ready for me then. Today, as I struggle to NOT throw in the towel again, He’sContinue reading “RECOVERING, Still”
