All of us have them.  Haters.  The people who secretly or not-so-secretly want to see you fail.  They pretend that they want you to be successful, but behind your back, they’re hoping you’ll fail.  Don’t worry about them. Quit worrying about the people who are trying to hold you back.  God knows how to move […]

Have you ever been friends with someone who you now label as a “taker”?  Or maybe you were in a relationship with someone who was a “taker” and never a “giver”?  Most of us have been there.  Either we were in a romantic relationship with someone who “was all about them” and always took from […]

I’ve had one of those days where I want to reach out to everyone I love and hug them.  I want to hug everyone tight and hold the hug for a while.  I want to just hug into them my love for them. But a lot of the people I love are spread far and […]

Do you wake up happy?  Or are you one of those that needs a wide berth before your first couple cups of coffee?  Did you know that one, small positive thought in the morning can change your entire day to a positive day?  And that one day can change your week which can change your […]

Relax.  Take a deep breath.  Now, exhale.  Take another deep breath.  Exhale.  Let the stress of the day leave your body as you exhale.  Let the stress go and release all your tension.  Shake it off if you need to. Tonight, let your stress go.  Take a step back and remember everything you’ve accomplished.  Remember […]

Did you mother ever say, “Talk less, listen more” or “You can’t just speak anything that comes into your head…THINK first!”  Mine did.  As younger people, we have all made incorrect assumptions, made hurtful judgments, hurt others and we’ve all spoken before thinking. Before you assume, learn the facts.  Before you judge, understand why.  Before […]

Where has respect gone?  It seems to be a distant concept–something people did “back in the day”.  Families don’t seem to have respect among themselves and the way I hear children talk to their parents, parents don’t seem to teach it either.  What’s happened?  Children and young people do not seem to respect each other […]

You’re not where you are by accident.  You’re here because you’ve prayed a lot.  You’re here because you’re a fighter.  You’re here because you don’t know the meaning of “quit”.  You’re here because you are strong. My grandmother used to look at me and ask, “You ain’t got no quit in you, do you, girl?” […]

Happy Weekend, My Friends!  I hope you have a blessed one.  No matter what your week was like, try to slow down and spend some time just being this weekend.  Don’t try to get too much done, don’t overextend yourself.  Relax and enjoy some peaceful, slow time this weekend.  Shut off all the noise from […]

To care.   That’s important.  Some would say that to care for others is our primary purpose for being here.  We are actually commanded by God to love one another.  And it’s not just halfway love or halfway like.  He commanded us to love one another as He loves us. A new commandment I give […]
