Last week I needed a personal recommendation. I posted on my local Nextdoor app and asked my neighbors and neighborhoods who they recommended. Surprisedly, it turned into a contest. Each person wanted to say who they recommended and why and the 50 something comments I received were full of praises and love. Until…. Until thatContinue reading “What World Do You Live In?”

Sticks & Stones Do Break Bones
Confession..the old me was real quick to react, respond, reply and let my emotions rule my mouth. Those who have known me for years, I see you laughing and shaking your head “yes”. News flash…I’m not that person now. I’m healing and I’m trying with all my strength to not let my feelings load myContinue reading “Sticks & Stones Do Break Bones”
Cherry Picking
Every job I’ve ever worked had the same rule. When I worked processing contracts for an international company, they said “Don’t Cherry Pick” the contacts. When I sold cars and bartended they said “Don’t Cherry Pick” the customers. Take each contract and each customer as they come. We tend to cherry-pick like we are inContinue reading “Cherry Picking”
Are You Tall?
How often have we made ourselves smaller around others just to conform? I know I have. Making ourselves less than or lowering our perspective does not bring out the best in us. It’s right up there with Don’t Settle as I blogged last week. I had a friend get a new car recently. She didn’tContinue reading “Are You Tall?”
Guard Your Heart
I grew up hearing that scripture. I’ve heard different interruptions on it including don’t defile the temple where God lives. This meant don’t drink alcohol, smoke, and in some cultures and religions, don’t eat meat or pork. While I respect everyone’s interpretation and beliefs, I interrupt it and apply it to my life differently. IContinue reading “Guard Your Heart”
Don’t Settle
I had someone trying to talk me into something the other day and they prefaced their sales pitch with “nothing is perfect”. My reply was, “perfection is in the eye of the beholder. What l think is perfect may be less than perfect for you.” Since that statement, I’ve been saying an affirmation daily thatContinue reading “Don’t Settle”
Change is Always in Challenge
I found this picture that describes my week. The word for this week is CHAlleNGE! But you cannot spell challenge without change. Challenges always bring changes. It doesn’t matter what it is, goals at work, fitness, learning a new skill, they all make you change and most of the time for the better. And that’sContinue reading “Change is Always in Challenge”
What Are We Representing?
I had someone who didn’t know me invite me to church. As she handed me a small postcard that promoted her church, I took her postcard but politely declined it and shared my Sunday morning ritual with her. Coffee in bed, phone on do not disturb while watching T.D. Jakes online for over 10 years.Continue reading “What Are We Representing?”
Bumping Your Head
Recently, I went to an old rock star concert from the 80s. Before she came on, I rushed to the front to be with the real rockers, the real fans of my era. As I stood in awe of the performer and I looked around at the people that surrounded me, I noticed I wasContinue reading “Bumping Your Head”
Sway Like a Palm so You Don’t Break Like an Oak
I had something happen unexpectedly the other day and I shared the incident with a friend. They asked, “Did that bother you?” My reply “No, I’m so deeply rooted where I am that nothing anyone does or anything that happens is going to sway me off my path.” I continued saying…It’s taken a long timeContinue reading “Sway Like a Palm so You Don’t Break Like an Oak”
