In my ability to build an amazing future for myself and others.
In God.
In a good cup of coffee.
In the bible.
In a good chick flick.
In a good laugh to rescue a trying day.
In chair dancing.
In daydreaming.
In giving.
In loving.
In laughing.
In living.
In telling a joke so bad even aspirins walk away shaking their heads.
In a nice bowl of chili.
In non crime scene brownies.
In family.
In friends.
In you.
In me.
What do you believe in, beloveds?

Note: Keep on believing. It’s good to remember GOOD things. So often, we tend to focus on what we have lost, what we could lose, what may never come to pass.
I say we use 2025 filling up the other half of the glass! Let’s go!
I have been watching football for more than 30 years.
I have been astonished to witness several players quit on their team. During the game. After a loss. After the ball was not thrown to them enough.
How sad. Folk have forgotten what teamwork means. Society has forgotten what integrity and supporting one another means.
Folk have been supposedly ” quiet quitting” their jobs. This apparently means folk are giving little to no effort.
Phooey on that! If you don’t care for things going on with your job, TALK to someone. Work it out. If you can’t, find another and give your all.
If you don’t get the ball thrown your way, so what?! Block. Run the route. Your route running STILL affects the outcome of the play!
Don’t pick up your toys and run if you were not chosen to lead the way. Enjoy the camaraderie of the team. Make memories.
In 2025, let’s all choose to get in there and be a light.
Okay, mini rant over…lol.
I have wanted to quit many a day. Life just seemed too damnedably hard. I learned how to push through the hard. I leaned into the hard. I strengthened faith muscles fighting against the hard.
There’s more to this life than we know. Don’t quit. Hang in there a little while longer.
Have you ever considered the reason you have been placed on the sideline, was to help someone standing there? Perhaps it was meant to give you the rest you would never give yourself.
Rest. Then, get about being about it. There just ain’t no quit in us!
Stop wasting time trying to convince your haters, your doubters, and the world that you can. They don’t/won’t believe in you.
You CAN.
You WILL.
Keep moving FORWARD.
Keep looking UP.
Keeping standing ten toes down.
Keep standing on FAITH.
Keep the faith.
You can’t prove a negative. Stop trying.
Do your best. BE your best. The rest WILL come out in the wash.
2025 has sooooooooooooooo much in store for you. Scoop out as many moments as you can. Squeeze every ounce of love, joy, peace, and laughter from these moments. Embrace every second from these moments.
Be encouraged. Now, get out there and LIVE.

Note: What do you dream of? I DARE you to try and make it happen. Ready. Set. Let’s go!!
The greatest lesson I have learned from the πͺ tornado is that: God has my back. I am loved. I am NOT alone. I do NOT have to fear the future. I do NOT have to fear MY future. I CAN. I WILL.
What have you and are you learning from your storm? These times are not here to break you. They are but footstools for your dreams to climb upon in order for you to reach higher and stretch f
