My daughters and I

Lord, I thank you for allowing me to live to see this day!! Oh, what a glorious day it is!! For the last 23 years of my life I have been a single parent or single mother, but thank you, Lord, today I can officially declare that I am just Single! While I will be forever their mother, I no longer have to mother them. I am so glad to see both my children come to this stage in their journey of life where they no longer need to parent them and I am so glad to take on my new role as a partner in their destiny!! It has definitely been a long rugged road that I somehow managed to have it look envious, but so far from it. My children and I have been through a lot, but we have managed to keep it together and come out more refined every time. Even though we have not had a lot of support we learned to lean on each other and embrace our flaws! So to my two beautiful, talented, smart, brave, and strong young ladies, hats off to your future and mine...big things are about to happen! I can feel it...God will see us through, He always has! Thank you, Jesus!

Finding Balance: 5 Tips to Reduce Stress

In today's fast-paced world, achieving a work-life balance is a challenge many face. Juggling work, family, and personal time can often lead to stress, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and burnout. To help navigate these challenges, I've compiled five practical tips that have personally helped me reduce stress and find balance in my daily life. 1. Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated might seem simple, but its impact on stress levels is significant. I remember a particularly hectic week at work where deadlines were looming, and I was running on caffeine and adrenaline. It wasn't until I started feeling dizzy and unfocused that I realized I had barely drank any water. Once I made a conscious effort to hydrate regularly, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my energy levels and overall mood. Tip: Keep a water bottle at your desk and set reminders to drink water throughout the day. 2. Be Kind to Yourself We are often our harshest critics, which can exacerbate stress. During a partic...

5 Quotes For Maintaining Your Motivation

Title Image - Whatever you do - do it with all your heart Finding confidence and courage to get up and go after what you say you want can be daunting at times, but if you want to experience the benefits of success, you have to put in the work. With 2017 quickly approaching the half-way mark, there is no better time to get inspired and fired up! Assessing the mid-way point now will help to determine who you are becoming, what you've done so far, and what extra efforts you need to put in. It's time to stir the simmering pot of goals so that nothing gets stuck. That said, here are my top five life changing quotes to help motivate you and keep you moving forward. 1.  Quit talking and start doing Walt Disney We all know people, maybe you are one of them, who talk endlessly about their big dreams and audacious ideas but never put a plan in place to accomplish them much less get started. If you are one of those people, Walter (Waltz) Disney would suggest you shut up and...

Happiness is a Myth

What if I told you everything you thought you knew about happiness is wrong? The truth is happiness is a myth and an illusion that is  overrated.   It is like chasing after a butterfly. The more you pursue it, the more it eludes you, and the moment you catch it is the moment it begins to die.  So, from whence came the word happy? According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the first record of the word was around 1350,   from Middle English, "a form of the English language spoken after the Norman conquest (1066) until the late 15th century," which is a derivative of the Old Norse "happ," meaning "luck" or "chance."  It combined "the word hap, meaning "a person's luck or lot," and the suffix –y, meaning "characterized by," to   form diminutive nouns and adjectives denoting a state, condition, or quality.  Then, in essence, when someone says, "I want to be happy," they are really saying that they want someone e...
