I don’t know where these scared tactics have come from but this isn’t it. I’m really not the type to play it safe with most things, like I’m quick to jump the gun when I see an opportunity, but lately I’ve been all timid when it comes to my plans and trying too hard to … Continue reading Faith Back Jumping

So lately I’ve been working on putting limits to certain things; you know like protecting my energy and keeping my thoughts positive and all that yada yada. The most important boundary I have come across lately is just making sure to be confident in who I am and strong in what I feel and believe … Continue reading Setting Boundaries
Last week I decided to take myself on a self proclaimed “soul cleanse” just to realign my focus and work on my spiritual health.

As I read through … Continue reading Mother, Not BFF

My track record with friends hasn’t been the best but it hasn’t been the worst either. Everybody I was cool with in grade school, although I still have … Continue reading Supportive Friends

She said she isn’t happy there and she’d rather use her time toward her passion and her own business. I told her to pray on it (the typical answer) but … Continue reading Testimony Tuesday: A Leap of Faith
Breathe. Sometimes I get worked up thinking about things. Like it’ll start with one little thought about how I need to do one thing and then 3 min later I’ve piled on extra things and now I’m near tears and my breathing has changed. Inhaling and exhaling at controlled rates becomes difficult. I look around … Continue reading Unravel

Then you hit 18 and/or go off to college; somewhere along … Continue reading PSA: Grown Friends
