Your Tribe

I was counseling with a friend the other day. She was in a lot of pain from some situations in her family. She felt overwhelmed and helpless to make the situation better. As I listened to her and heard her pain, I felt that she needed an ear. She had just been waiting for someoneContinue reading “Your Tribe”

My Dealing to Healing story

This is my Dealing to Healing story. I hope as you read it that you feel inspired, that you know that there are no coincidences and God is real. In 2017, in Atlanta, Georgia, I felt a shift in my life. I kept telling my sister, I feel a shift. I don’t have the wordsContinue reading “My Dealing to Healing story”

People will suck the life out of you

True story! You can loose yourself trying to please others, living for others. Let me talk to the empaths, codependent folks, the people pleasers. Feeling that you want or need to make people happy is a curse and a blessing. Like a quote that someone sent me this morning, “Know your limits on how muchContinue reading “People will suck the life out of you”

Step by Step

When I look at this picture, it reminds me of so many things. It first reminds me of the song Whitney Houston did off The Preacher’s Wife’s album, called “Step by Step”. The lyrics say, “step by step, bit by bit, stone by stone.” But my favorite part says…”I know you’re hurting, and I knowContinue reading “Step by Step”

Traits of a narcissist

Drop a 💔 in the comments if you know a narcissist!I’ll go first 💔💔💔 I’ve known a few and I’m not using the term narcissist lightly. I’m talking about a real, live, true narcissist. There are many types but the ones I’ve known personally have the following traits: They do not respect boundaries and whenContinue reading “Traits of a narcissist”

Resentments are like seashells (8/31/2021)

Resentment is a word I really did not understand or try to understand until about 12 years ago. It was best explained to me that as we go through life, we all have resentments. If we are pretty healthy emotionally, we may have one here, one there and just like collecting seashells while we walkContinue reading “Resentments are like seashells (8/31/2021)”

Don’t judge people by the cover (8/30/2021)

Yesterday I posted a Sunday Sermon about not giving up, “Hold On”. I want to pick up on the part that I said “pray to God and ask him to help you, to send people to you that will love and support you. And they will come, accept those people.” I want to emphasize onContinue reading “Don’t judge people by the cover (8/30/2021)”

If they do it once, they’ll do it again (8/28/2021)

I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day. We were discussing when people manipulate you. The first time they do it does not mean it was a mistake or a one and done. No! That means they are testing you to see if they can get by with it. To seeContinue reading “If they do it once, they’ll do it again (8/28/2021)”

Healing yourself can be offensive

A friend recently sent this to me. I have read it several times. As I read it, I think about people in my past that took advantage of my lack of boundaries, my lack of self respect, of me walking on eggshells to keep from rocking the boat, saying “yes” while biting my tongue andContinue reading “Healing yourself can be offensive”

The importance of listening to intuition

I want to explain the importance of intuition, of listening to your gut. Not long ago, I prayed a prayer like I’ve never prayed. It was a prayer of surrender. And in this prayer I asked that God send messengers to tell me what I should do. I don’t profess to be a person toContinue reading “The importance of listening to intuition”
