$$$ Walk In YOUR Worth $$$

There’s a lesson I’ve been introduced to for quite a while, but yesterday forced me to learn the lesson a different way. And I’m sure we’ve all heard variations of the same thing, but don’t decrease your value because someone can’t afford you. All too often we dumb ourselves down because someone can’t handle our

Time To Cut IT!!!

There’s a dress that I wear pretty often, but the tag in the back is extremely irritating that sometimes it causes a great deal of discomfort. I hesitated taking the tag out because I didn’t want to remove it and end up snagging the dress or ruining it altogether. So, I finally took the chance

FearLESS

Yesterday I overlooked something that had the potential to have a devastating ripple effect if it wasn’t taken care of right away. Truthfully, I became overwhelmed and allowed fear to set in a little because I knew what the outcome could have been (and should have been). I eventually got over myself, prayed and tackled

Thrive and Shine

I didn’t watch much of the Olympics and truthfully followed everything online. Of course there were captivating wins and heart-tugging stories, but the one story that stuck out to me the most was the incredible outcome of the Men’s 10,000M race. Mo Farah from Great Britain tripped early on in the race and collided with

Wipe It ALL Away

We were cleaning out the refrigerator over the weekend and afterwards, I still smelled a weird smell. I didn’t see any open containers, spoiled food, or damaged packages. I checked every shelf and every drawer, but still couldn’t find the culprit. It wasn’t until I started moving stuff that I saw it…a spot. Something must

Make YOURSELF the Motivation

Last week I notified my students on my part time job that the middle of September will be my last day with them. Since we got off to a rocky start, I didn’t expect the reaction nor the response. Especially from one student in particular. He has REALLY been getting under my skin lately and

Finished Isn’t Done

Yesterday Joi and I took a moment to recap her day as usual, and she shared with me that she received a good grade on her test. But after a moment of contemplation, she said that her grade could have been better if she took little more time. See, just because she was finished with

Throw It ALL Away

One of the chores of moving is packing and unpacking, because it seems as if more time is put into determining what to pack as opposed to packing period. Especially when we run across items that spark memories that put smiles on our faces. That’s the thing though; some things are meant to stay as

Worked Out for the Good

We returned from my Mom’s memorial service on a Thursday July 28th, we started moving the next day on Friday, school started on the following Monday, and we finished that Friday on August 5th! It didn’t feel good. Because I was physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially exhausted; as well as people mistreating me and

Time To Move!!!

It’s no secret that I lost my house due to foreclosure in 2013 after being unemployed for over 3 years, so the thought of having to move this time around numbed me; especially since it came on the heels of my Mom’s passing. Long story short, the owner of the house we were renting decided
