Afternoon, NOTE takers! I purposely didn't put a title for this post, but rather a punctuation mark, because it represents how I currently feel. I have been VERY busy with school, my full-time job, running my own business, maintaining/updating my website, and booking speaking engagements along the way, that I've forgotten I'm only one person … Continue reading !

Beyond the flames (Life outside the furnace, Part I)
When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, were thrown into the fiery furnace, they never allowed fear to settle in. One, because of their faith in God. Two, because they knew what was beyond the flames. Before we discuss life outside the furnace, let's talk about why so many people are in it. We can either walk … Continue reading Beyond the flames (Life outside the furnace, Part I)
Happiness is a choice!
Are you happy? Sad? Negative or positive? Everybody is responsible for their own decisions, and I'm sick of people allowing others to influence theirs. The moment we give someone control over our emotions, essentially, we are saying, "Do as you please.......I give you all power"! Why would you want someone to control or determine how … Continue reading Happiness is a choice!
Glitter but no gold
I titled this post after the name of my first book, "Glitter but no gold: How I turned my wounds into wisdom", because perception is everything, but our false reality is not! Have you ever logged onto your social media account, only to see people hashtag, #goals? Completely unaware of what's behind the images they … Continue reading Glitter but no gold
2 Timothy 1:7 (No fear)
What makes us afraid? Why do we fear people, places or things? Most important, what is the point in having fear? By having it, we gain nothing, but can lose everything, sometimes even ourselves. Fear can take on many forms, but irregardless of where it stems from, it can paralyze and inhibit you from doing … Continue reading 2 Timothy 1:7 (No fear)
You deserve this (reaping the harvest)
Employee of the year.....check! New truck.....check! Promotion.....check! Published Author.....check! Business owner.....check!

Do you believe?
"Oh ye of little faith"? Does your disbelief in whether or not you can obtain success or be anything you want to, holds you back from executing your ideas? Do you personally feel as though you're not capable or has someone planted the seed and told you so? A lot of times, people are reluctant … Continue reading Do you believe?
Miles Away
You want it.....you can smell....you can even taste it, yet it's so far away. Success requires hard work, yet some people don't want to do what it takes to get it, because the distance is a little farther than they'd like to go. You see, some people just aren't willing to go the extra mile, … Continue reading Miles Away
The opportunities are limitless…How many do you want?

I already wear a thousands hats, and I've decided to add another one to my collection: Grant Writer! Writing is a gift that I've been blessed with, and I love what … Continue reading The opportunities are limitless…How many do you want?
Hold on, it gets better!
“Don't give up when dark times come. The more storms you face in life, the stronger you'll be. Hold on. Your greater is coming.” ― Germany Kent I talk about God a lot (get over it), and I converse with Him daily! Almost to the point, I have to preface and say, "I know we … Continue reading Hold on, it gets better!
