Forgiveness Is Hard

This post will be short and sweet. There are some things that have to be said, discussed, thought about, talked over, etc.. I think you get the point. Then there are others--You say them and let the chips fall where they may. This post is the latter. My air died at our home yesterday. We couldn't call the landlord, because we ARE the landlords. As the temperature rose today, reaching well over into the 90s here in the south, so did the inside temp in our home. Boy, I'd not realized how important an AC can be in the Deep South in the summertime..but it got me to thinking🤔...

A lot of times we go through life not admiring or appreciating the people in our lives like we should. God forbid.. what would happen if one day, like my AC, they're no longer available? Will you be miserable (like I was today) or will you live your life regretting that you never apologized, made amends, reached out, loved on, or celebrated them as you should have?

I'm happy to report that our AC has been repaired and working! Though it cost, it was the most rewarding purchase this year! I'm wondering if that will be the same for you? Though it will cost something for you to make amends or reach out.. it will also be the most rewarding and humbling move you can make towards your future. Forgiveness is not for the other person, it's for you! #BeFree #BeGreat #Pursue

how I began healing from past traumas

Hey friend. Over the years many sexual assault and pedophile allegations have been exposed in the entertainment and political arenas, I had to pause to tell my own story; to validate my own injustices, and to stand in my own truth. The very first time I can remember being violated was at the age of 12 when my mother’s boyfriend felt that it was ok to touch me inappropriately. I was raped again at the age of 14 when I was passed out drunk and woke up screaming, “STOP!!!" The next time was statutory rape.. Years later, I was date raped by a person that I thought loved me. the guy knew I was underaged and lied to me about his age.. Years after, I thought I'd met the love of my life. He was trustworthy, consistent, attentive, and protective.... a little too protective at times. I was so broken and wanting of love that I attributed his stalking behaviors as him loving me and wanting to be every where I was...ALL THE TIME! Yeah... I was un...

A Crown of Life

Today began like any other day, I dreaded getting out the bed (I'm not into early morning routines), but I had to go to work! No, I don't clock in at a normal nine to five, but more like an extended shift, day end and day out, being a mom. After dropping my son off at basketball workouts, I was determined to make it to water aerobics ON TIME! In the middle of water aerobics, the pool was bombarded with some life guard trainees and a loud, I mean, very loud instructor! Well, let me just tell you, my once pleasant workout began taking an alternate route as I carefully began studying the actions of the drill sergeant, I mean, instructor. He highlighted every mishap of the trainees and they moved at every command like soldiers marching in battle. It didn't take me long to realize that he was well respected. Just then, he made a profound statement: "If you do not finish this task, it will never be because you do not have the ability, it will simply be becaus...

Are you Happy?

As I was riding down the highway this song began playing on the radio. Now, I've heard this song SEVERAL times and am quite a fan of the artist, but this time was different. This ride came after I'd spent several days with my sick mother who, progressively appeared to get worse each day I was home visiting. After asking her SEVERAL times, "Mom, how are you feeling today?" and her replying, "I'm doing OKAY, I'll be alright", did I realize that this scenario was all too familiar and a replica of how we respond to emotional health. So, without further ado, I present the REALIST LYRICS EVER! "Cry yourself to sleep Shout and raise your hands It won't change a thing child until you understand If you're tired of being the same If you're tired of things not changing It's time for you to get out the way" Often, we go through life facing all kinds of mishaps and adversities that lead us to crying ourselves to ...
