Some people are just not going to like you. No matter what you say or do, some people just won’t ever like you. And that’s not on you. That’s something to do with them. It’s who they are. Either they like you or they don’t. Never try to convince somebody of your worth. If a […]

Never Allow Another To Take These From You
Your hopes, your dreams and your goodness. Don’t let anyone take these from you. No matter what. I think these should be included as a part of our inalienable rights. Our hopes, our dreams and our goodness are things that belong to us and no one else. Others can support, others can love you, but […]
You Just Watch Me
I’ve not had a lot of people who have told me that I can’t do something. I was raised by two strong women who instilled in me that with hard word, determination and walking with God, I could do anything. I’ve always believed that. It has helped me so much. There are so many people […]
He Will Give You Rest
Are you struggling? Do you feel a tightness in your chest because you are so worried about something?

Distance Yourself From Some People
About twice a year I take a look at all my relationships. Both my personal relationships and my business/professional ones. I want to make sure that all my relationships are healthy and good for me.

The Older I Get

Integrity Is Everything
I’ve heard it said that integrity shines brightest upon those acts that are not witnessed by others. In other words, it’s standing firm on honor, moral principles and honesty if there are a lot of people watching you or if there’s no one watching you. You do the right thing even if no one is […]
Don’t Quit, Don’t Give Up
I’ve received several emails today. Mostly, they concerned how hard it is to keep going sometimes, that the struggles seem to be overwhelming with very little happiness thrown in. Several people asked for prayers because they are dealing with depression, some asked for prayers to strengthen their relationships. And some just wanted to say hello […]
