To those of you who have been feeling lost or disconnected lately, I want to remind you that there is NOTHING you can do to diminish the love God has for you.

Never be ashamed to go TO Him because He died for YOU. And no matter how many people may ‘hate’ you, His love is everlasting and unchanging.

Also, God is not caught up on HOW you refer to Him as long as you reverence Him. He’s not moved by whether or not you refer to Him as ‘Father,’ ‘Mother,’ ‘Friend’ or ‘Homie.’ Or even ‘he’ or ‘she’. Truth is God is a combination of masculine and feminine energy that can’t be fully defined. He/She simply… IS.

As a believer, you DO NOT have to adapt to language that doesn’t align with you. Your relationship is your relationship and God isn’t this mystical being that’s hard to reach.

He’s there, sticking closer than a brother. You may even feel like you’ve ‘left’ Him. I can assure you that’s NOT possible. Because wherever you ARE, HE is. GO TO HIM and share your heart. Then sit still as you listen to His. [That’s the part we often miss.]💙🙏🏾

P.S. I was listening to this song today and it ministered to me in such a way that I hope it does the same for you. See Comments⤵️

Chile… the good thing is that I caught myself. Doesn’t that count for anything?🙄🤣

This Tyler Perry movie got my emotions all over the place. Whew! Grief can hit in any moment and this one caught me off guard.👀

Let’s disrupt this trend that got folks thinking marriage isn’t the flex that it is. Nah what ya’ll be seeing is what happens when you marry the WRONG person which is why it’s important to take your time. My recommendation is to ONLY marry for love. Everything else will fall into place… when it’s the RIGHT person AND your PURPOSE is aligned.💯

This time of the year is tough on many people and my heart truly goes out because I’ve been there. The good news is that it DOES get better… with time. BUT what matters most is what YOU do with that time.

I too have experienced A LOT of pain in my life and if I’m honest, some aches within our soul may never go away. But does that mean we can’t still move forward, while living and leading a life we can be proud of?

Absolutely not. Grief comes for all of us in various forms and as the holidays approach, you may be wondering:

• How do I face familiar traditions when life feels so different now?

• What do I say when people ask questions?

• Will I ever be happy or able to genuinely smile again?

I created AFTER LOSS: A Guided Emotional Healing Experience to help you begin answering those questions in an effort to gain clarity, psychological insight and the necessary tools to help you develop a ‘NEW’ normal.

Together, we’ll name what you’re grieving, recognize how it shows up in your emotions and body as well as build a personal plan for reminders, family gatherings, boundaries and support.

Death, divorce, estrangement, friendships that end and lost dreams ALL deserve room in this conversation.

🌱Join me on October 21, 2026, from 7:30–9 PM ET, live on Zoom. Your $47 registration includes a customized 24-page reflection workbook that you can return to anytime.

This space is exclusively for individuals who are tired of suffering in silence and are serious about getting to the root of their pain so that 2027 can be a year of freedom, joy and ultimately acceptance.

With political corruption, social injustice and senseless killings weighing on so many of us, this melody helps regulate my nervous system and hold on to hope. Take a breath, give it a listen, and remember that God is still with us.🤍⤵️

Can we normalize not trying to look cute while working out? It’s way too much pressure. My focus is on not passing out, counting out loud and breathing properly. To add cuteness to that is simply to much at THIS stage of my life.

So this is me at 42 years old after walking outside with my Zaddy for 30 minutes and then completing multiple 3 sets of 12 strength training exercises. The only energy I have now is to take a shower and give boo a massage.

I woke up to the sweetest message from Shon Lawrence that literally had me in tears. It was totally unexpected while also being 1000% appreciated.

What you see with us is real. We don’t try to be anything other than who we are. Some can rock with it, others can’t and that’s their business.

Know that you are worthy of being chosen, loved properly and prioritized in someone’s life. Don’t settle because trust me this view is so much better.💯💋♥️
