I messed around and caught another cold. I practically moved into the fan and slept too close to it the other night. Smh.
I have just enough energy to remind you that you are loved and NOT alone.
Be good to you, okay?

This has been quite the year. I have been saying that for the past year and a half. 🥰🤣
Fear has been a constant threat and battle. I can’t even say why.
I have been holding my own. I think. For the most part…
I can say, beloveds, that dealing with fear, with honesty, head on has brought me closer to family and friends.
I am holding myself accountable to ME. To be good to ME. To put into MY life so I can have enough to fill others with.
I am finding it’s not fear that holds me back but what I think may or may not happen. The thing is not the scary thing. The scary thing is/was the “what if”.
Knowing that, beloveds, I started asking myself the dreaded “what if”…
What if I can’t?
What if I don’t?
What if He says no?
What if the answer is not now?
What if nobody comes?
I went through a million “what ifs” and began to smile. I realized I WOULD be okay. No matter what. Some kind of way.
That knowledge has brought me so much joy.
I don’t enjoy being scared half to death. I have been enjoying my responses. I wop fear upside the head!
I stopped by to encourage someone. You got this. Don’t be discouraged if fear keeps stopping by.
These trials are nothing more than that. They are NOT an indictment of you or your character. You are strong. You are able. You are capable.
Have an amazing rest of your day. I love me some you.

I have been thanking God for the hard.
I am grateful.
I am finding my voice.
I am learning tenacity.
I am seeking perseverance.
I am challenging myself to stay focused and positive.
Hard is bringing out my strength.
Hard is revealing my weaknesses.
Hard is introducing me to parts of me I had no idea existed.
I am learning not to resent hard. Yes, I get tired of 🧗♂️ climbing this hard all blasted day. Still, I climb on.
I just stopped by to encourage someone to keep pushing through the hard.
Be encouraged.

I came across this. I second this motion.
We ought love one another.
I do.
Be encouraged, beloveds.
Keep shining a light. Keep being a light. For any and all offended by her words, or by mine, I pray for you the most.
I find it terribly sad to see so many folks reveling in and championing the suffering of all who do not look as they do or believe as they do.
I plan on loving as many people as I can. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Life is what we make it.
Have a fantastic rest of your day.

Note: I keep asking God what I can do to make a difference. He says just keep loving folk. I do. I will. Will you do the same? We each CAN make an impact. For the good. Or, t1o do harm. Doing nothing can do as much damage as doing nothing…*sigh*. Life is much too short for the foolishness many are engaged in.

I love me some me. All of me. It took 50
years to get here.
I have been fighting with the broke part of me. That part of me makes the entirety of me feel worthless. I know I am more than what I have. It just doesn’t feel that way just now.
I used to fight with the overweighted parts of me. I don’t anymore. I do work on not comforting.
I used to not like the loud parts of me. Now, I enjoy being loud. The older I grow, the quieter my loudness becomes. That will make sense to some.
It feels good to love me.
I just stopped by to let folks know how wonderful they are.
You are not an accident. You are a masterpiece that is still being formed. Love you some you.

I’m ready to launch both of my youtube channels. I’m excited. I’m doing them for the right reasons.
I have been praying and praying and meditating and talking to myself about why I want to do my channels.
I plan on one motivational channel and one nfl sports channel. I love encouraging people and I love the NFL.
I cannot tell you how much joy and peace I found when I finally admitted to myself that I have always secreted wanted to talk about all things in their favor on a youtube channel. I just didn’t dream that I could do so because, for one, there are not that many women who are doing this. There are also not many people of color.
I decided to throw my hat in the ring and. be one of them. I cannot tell you how much fun I have making. corny, ridiculous motivation.
I just stopped by to encourage you to do your own ridiculous, outrageous and completely scary dreams. What do you have to lose? Let’s find out together.

Life being hard?
Put some joy on it.
Life not being fair?
Put some praise on it.
Life being life?
Put a little bit extra on it.
being about that life,

For all the nobody’s out there, you are somebody to me.
All my life, beloveds, because of breathing in a black body, I have been labeled a nobody, by many in the world.
Lazy.
Not chosen.
Unwelcome.
I am none of those things. I am worthy. I am worth it. I am worthwhile. So are you.
I just stopped by to tell somebody that you are somebody. To me, to God, to The Universe, and to many others who would love you if you let them in.
You are loved. You are not alone. Be encouraged.

The ONLY thing lacking in you…
resolve. Resolve to keep fighting.
The ONLY thing lacking in you…
perseverance. Persevere, beloveds!
The ONLY thing lacking in you…
tenacity. Be tenacious in all things dream related.
The ONLY thing lacking in you…
belief in YOU. Believe in YOU, beloveds. God/Life would NOT have entrusted you with these dreams if you were not well able to bring them into the light of day.
EVERYTHING we see, beloveds, was produced from the heart of someone. The computer you write on, the phone you play with, the clothes you wear, the refrigerator you eat out of, the very roof over your head, came from the heart of someone.
Someone created the plans. Someone made the tools. Someone built the thing.
What is the difference between them folk and YOU? Their belief in themselves. They got about being about it, until they brought their dreams into the light of day. You and I can, we must, do the same!
Let’s go!!!!!

Note: We lack NOTHING we need to complete our tasks. The ONLY time I get into discouragement and despair is when I focus on my bank account or the awful job market. The instant I focus on my goals and do SOMETHING, the instant fear/doubt/discouragement has to take three seats.
You lack NOTHING, beloveds. Keep getting after it. Keep standing, ten toes down, on FAITH!
