Keep trying: My ALMOST brownie disaster.

Tada! Here I go, again. Another kitchen food crime…*sigh*.

I must say each attempt is more tasty than the last. The point is to keep TRYING, beloveds.

Can I tell you a secret? I didn’t want to do the day. I wanted to hide amongst the covers. I did NOT want to have to think about, much less be about being about it.

It’s this ‘in the meantime’ part of life that can be sooooooooooooooooooooo hard to get through.

The words “How are you?” is enough to work the last nerves. How in the fresh hell can you tell folk that life royally sucks due to trying to keep a roof over one’s head? No one wants to hear sad tidings more than once or twice.

Else, they may be reminded of THEIR sad. We can’t have that!

Beloveds, the reason why I share my kitchen disasters is to let you know it’s okay to struggle as you try.

It’s okay to get tired from the sheer effort it takes to get out of bed and try.

It’s okay to question God, your sanity, and everything else around you.

I stopped by to let you know that your hard IS important. Your needs ARE important. Though they may seem small to most, KNOW they are important still. As are you.

I promise I am going to get these brownies right. I think. Who in heaven knows.

I am having fun trying.

Enjoy your try, beloveds. Your mistakes are just mistakes.

Hang in there. I’m fixing to make a pot of coffee ☕ to go with my almost brownies. Who is up for a snack?

Note: Keep making yourself get out of bed. Keep forcing yourself to choose you. Keep kicking lazy in the rear end. We got this. I am keeping all lifted in prayer. For those who have secretly given up, I got you to. I love you. Be encouraged.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Morning!

Morning!

I hope you are having a fantastic morning. If not, beloveds, you can start over again.

Don’t spend your day focused on the hard. This is a whole new year! How great is that?!

Dive on into life today.

EVERY conversation is a gift.

My wombie called me. Woke me up. Yikes!

Initially, I wanted to bop her one. Or two. Or ten…

After discarding such thoughts(would have taken too much effort so early in the morning), I settled into a half asleep, moderately dumb, because of being half asleep, conversation about everything and nothing, all rolled into a ball of mishmash what on earth are we doing up so early talking about THIS/THAT?!

What a wonderful way to start the day. I enjoyed every ridiculous moment!

This made me ponder on how little folk seem to enjoy one another. The world has turned every relationship into a transaction. Don’t let this be your plight. Enjoy the people in your life. Take the time to get to know them better. Take the time to allow them to get to know you better. Take some time for one another.

Relationships are a gift. They are meant to be. We are the ones who turn relationships into transactions. Which means we can take the transactional nature out of those relationships!

People are a gift of God. What kind of gift that is is up to you!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! I fear I may have been the booby prize for some!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Take the time to enjoy someone today. Starting with you.

Are YOU okay?

Are YOU okay?

Wassamatta?

Did you need a hug today?

Cmere…

How was that?

Really. How are YOU? You spend so much time caring for others. Take some time for YOU. I mean it!

There are times when it feels as if we have been left out. We feel unneeded. We wonder if we are loved. We wonder why our efforts have not resulted in our deepest heart cry.

Hold on, beloveds. If you find yourself in a spot of bother just now…

You are loved. You are NOT alone.

Again, I ask:

Are YOU okay?

Don’t walk away because you’re scared.

Don’t walk away because you’re scared.

Don’t walk away.

Run towards your dreams.

Face your fears head on.

Don’t run away because you have been scarred.

Don’t be ashamed of your scars.

Continue to love and reach out.

Face this world head on.

Don’t shy away because you’re afraid to lose.

Don’t shy away.

You will lose more than you will win.

Face defeat head on.

Don’t walk away, beloveds. You have thangs to do.

Don’t run away. Rush headlong towards your abundant future.

Don’t shy away. Embrace these moments with as much gusto as you can muster!

You got this, beloveds!

Note: Anyone can trust on a full stomach…lol. Have FAITH, beloveds. Things WILL work out. They will. Step bravely into today. Embrace these moments. You are building a wonderful future. Your present, however, needs you to be present! Live NOW. Don’t wait until you have this or that. This or that may end up boring you to tears.🤣❤🙏🥰

Note: This is your time. It is. Do it afraid if you must. Just go. Start. The way will open before you. You don’t have to know how just yet. Just get going. The Universe will make sure you receive what you need. Trust. Trust your gifts. Trust those sent to help you.

Don’t worry about failing. You will mess up a million times before you get it right. Enjoy the mishaps. Learn from them.

Perfect the knowledge that you will never be perfect. We are about excellence. We are about growth. We are about faith. We are about integrity.

Magnificence takes time. Be one of those few who finds immense satisfaction in doing things right. We are in no hurry. We are about building. We are about lifting up.  I lift up with you. Let’s go! You can do it!

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

This ALWAYS brings a smile to my heart.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Love one another. None of us know what folk are going through. Get to know someone who doesn’t look or act like you.

Remember, beloveds, you are much more than your political beliefs, you are more than the groups you align with.

You are more than your job. You are more than your wallet. You are more than your efforts.

You are enough just being YOU. Yes, do. Yes, care. Yet, KNOW, of a certainty, you do NOT have to pay rent to The Universe. Meaning, you don’t have to give to be loved. You are loved already. You are seen already. You are heard already.

I am praying for us all today. I say extra prayers for those who have lost faith, never had faith or who have walked away from faith. Be encouraged.

In case no one has told you:

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

True that.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: You have greatness within you, beloveds. Get out there and BE great. Your light IS making a difference. You can be THE difference if you will but make yourself available. Be encouraged.

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.
