It is finally Fall. While I enjoy parts of this season, likes sweaters, fire pits, and boots. I don't like the fact that it gets dark so early. That being said, What do you change in your routine when it gets dark earlier? How will you use this change of routine as a benefit to you?

If you are at home more when it's dark early will you read more? Will you gain some other kinds of healthy habits? I know it easy to start baking and cooking up heavy foods when it's cool but don't lose everything you worked on over the summer. Think about your fall/winter routines now so you won't be blindsided.

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

This morning I encourage you to focus on your life plan. Do you have a will, life insurance, and a burial plan? September is national life insurance month. Make sure you have some. It is selfish for you to say I'm not leaving nothing to these people.

The bible tells us that a good man leaves an inheritance for 3 generations after him. So, seriously you are not going to make sure your people can bury you and pay bills for at least one year after your passing. Your kids can walk up to my daddy's not here but here's my tuition in full window.
Friends we have got to do better in making sure the next generation is better prepared them we were.

Wow, it has been a crazy week. Sorry I missed a few days of posting. Sometimes we can get overwhelmed by to chaos of life. Friends take the time to take care of you. I know you are chuckling right now asking, are you taking care of yourself? LOL

I am in the process of moving some things around to eliminate that burning at both ends and the middle feeling. Massage/reflexology appointment being made. What are you doing to help yourself relaxed? What are you reading that renews your mind? What activities are you doing that will keep your body moving? It has been proven that the endorphins released during exercise bring renewal.

Do what renews your mind, body, and spirit.

There are so many people hurting in today's society. Problems seem to have no easy resolution. I believe there are so many people with the same lament as below. Lord, please hear me, acknowledge that I am in pain. Acknowledge that you are still there. Acknowledge that I am not alone, even though I feel like it.

Today I just want to remind you that God has not forgotten you. Yes, you might feel alone, but that is an illusion from the enemy. You have been heard and your situation is being worked out. It might not come in the time frame or package that you want, but the answer is coming. I am praying for each and every one of you that are experiencing trying times. Your situation will not last forever, this season will pass. I pray for nothing but God's favor to shine upon you and give you and of those that are going through hard times clear direction. Love you know I love you to life.

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Sometimes in our transitional spaces, we still see the old us while others are beginning to see the new us. I encourage you to let go of the old you and embrace your new you. Yes, it is scary to let go of what you have always known but I promise you the woman that you are evolving into is a much better woman. Focus on your goals and don't let anything stop you. What does living your best life look like? Write it down. Take pictures and add them to it. Focus on what your good life looks like so you can stop focusing on the past. Baby, whatever IT is, is gone and you will not change it now. I know it is easier said than done but shake the dust off of your feet and keep pushing. Love you to life.

Isaiah 26:3-4 says, People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don’t quit.
Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.

Where is your mind today? Is it set on things above or on things of this earth? There are so many variables in our lives that can get us off track, depending on ourselves when we need to be totally dependent on God. Before you say it, yes I know being totally dependent on God is hard because we don't get say so and we are not in control but how has that been working so far? Me being in control of me is not always the best answer. I would venture to say it is the same for you. Sometimes I want to quit. Sometimes I want to throw in the towel. However, if I can stay focused on God he gives us the ability to keep focused and pushing forward. 

Life is hard but it's hard without him. Put your trust in your father. Lean back and relax your daddy has god you. He's a sure thing.

Transformation can be very difficult and even more complicated when we are not sure exactly where our behaviors are coming from. Our friends over at Calm the Chaos created this handy dandy infographic to help you identify where your issue stems from. Once you know the root of the matter it is much easier to work through the issue. I will not say that it will be easy or quick but everything has a resolution if you are willing to put in the work.

Ladies, if you have not checked your calendar August is almost over. WHAT? Yes, I know it just started yesterday and now we are almost in Septemeber. With the days flying by like they are what are you doing to make sure that you have your business in order? Do you have your retirement planning done? Do you know what the rest of 2019 looks like for you? Have you sought God for direction for what the rest of 2019 is supposed to look like?

It is so easy to just start making plans and filling our calendars without seeking real direction and knowing what the real goal is. We all want to be financially secure but what does that look like and what are you and I willing to do to make that happen? Never be so caught up in wealth and success that you get unbalanced. Having things without peace is not worth it. Nobody wants to be poor but peace and clear direction are more important than millions. Seek peace and direction and once you obtain them walk therein. I am seeing people young and old all around me leaving this life and many of them are doing so without being fulfilled in their lives. This doesn't have to be your or my story. When you know better you do better.

Yesterday I had a video shoot for a fairly major organization so I decided to get my face beat (put on make up). It is not something I do often but it's a fun change up. My husband smiled when he saw me and said it looked but that I was just fine without it. Later, I post a picture on Facebook. I got lots of comments from I didn't recognize you to cute. All that to say this.
I can see how some people can loose themselves behind social media. If I was looking for :friends" ,validation,  a stroke to my bruised ego I could have received it. If I was not stable in who I am I would be looking to do things that would get me those kinds of comments everyday. Needless to say I will stick to my lipstick,  mascara, eye color look and keep it pushing.
I appreciate the love but I was to stay focused on the important stuff. Make sure you are beautiful on the inside and the rest will take care of itself.

I saw this posted today and knew that I needed to remind you to live. So, I ask you, Are you living or just existing? If you are just existing then it is time for you to get moving. You don't have time to allow life to pass you by. You should be living every day to the most.

Good morning,

The scripture that is laying on my heart this morning is, 

Isaiah 54:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.
This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.

No matter what we are going through today God is just reminding us that it will not succeed. The devil might form the weapons because the ones he used yesterday didn't work but they too will not succeed. Don't get distracted by the arrows whizzing by your head. Stay focused on your peace. Peace in your mind, body, and spirit. Resist the urge to chase down the people with your name in their mouth. Truth always wins out.

Four questions, from the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace,  to ask yourself as you continue your transformation.

Are you creating more value than you are taking?
In life, you are going to assume one of two positions. Either you will seek to create value for others or you will position yourself to extract value for yourself. Good leaders inspire people to move beyond being value consumers (simply seeking “What’s In It For Me”) to value contributors.

Are you leaving a positive wake?
A boat going through water leaves a wake behind it. Our lives, too, leave a ripple as we cruise through various environments. That wake will either be positive or negative. We all have that person in our lives that we try to avoid. The one who sees a dark lining in every bright cloud; that person who saps our energy with their negativity. But we also have those individuals who brighten our day with their smiles and words of encouragement.

What problem are you solving?
The world is filled with problem identifiers. They are the complainers who cast aspersion and blame for something gone wrong rather than taking responsibility for resolving it. But, the best way to create value and the fastest way to make a positive wake is to find the biggest problem you can find and apply your passion and strengths to solve it.

What part are you willing to own?
Ownership empowers people to take responsibility for creating value. Healthy people want autonomy and an opportunity to grow in self-mastery.

Today I want to remind you to be thankful for life, health, and strength. Too often we take things for granted and they could be sucked away so quickly.

There was a death in our family last week fairly unexpected. While you might not be 100% all the tune you don't expect to die. Some of you will say that's pretty a matter of fact and you are right. We fear death because it is the ultimate in change and things that are not within our complete control. Instead of being fearful be ready. Have you affairs in order. Make plans with the mortuary of your choice to pick out everything you want. Make sure there is a policy to cover it. Write out your obituary so what is said is true and reflects your life completely and not just the pieces your loved one were a part of. There was life pre-children.

Don't put it off. Yes, it is uncomfortable but it is necessary. The most loving thing you can do for your family is to make them not have to think about a thing. Have everything planned.

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

What is your love language? In our crazy busy world, it is easy to ignore speaking our families love languages. It is also important that you keep your in mind as you determine how matriculated through relationship ebbs and flows.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: In the age of technology, we can often overlook the simple pleasure of receiving a postcard. Why not pick up or design a few postcards you can keep on hand at home or the office? Write a short note of encouragement and commit to sending a postcard a day to different individuals for 30 days. Be careful though; you just may get addicted to the joy of brightening someone's day!

ACTS OF SERVICE: Studies have shown that clutter increases stress. If a friend or family member has been too busy to straighten up or get things in order, offer to help them organize. Choose a day you can tackle the kitchen drawers, child's playroom, garage, car, or other space. Set a time, and show up ready to help. After you are done, celebrate your accomplishment together!

GIFTS: Do you have some gently used items around the house that you don't use anymore? Look around and notice who might those items bless if you were to gift them. Whether it's a pair of old sunglasses, a lamp that someone has commented on, or cell phone sitting in a drawer, paying it forward can be fun and rewarding—it's a win-win!

QUALITY TIME: If you have a little extra money, watch the airline specials. When you see a stellar deal on tickets to an obscure location, research fun activities in the area. If you find a famous "dive" restaurant, community festival or celebration, or historic attraction, see if you can put together a quick, inexpensive day trip with a friend.

PHYSICAL TOUCH: We often underestimate the value of sitting in close proximity to those we love. Whether you are in a restaurant or watching TV on the couch, be mindful that you are not routinely separating yourself physically. Depending on the relationship, be aware of comfort levels, but be generous with your presence.

This morning as I was scrolling I saw the picture below and it really spoke the truth I needed to hear and you probably do too. We are emotional beings. It's what helps to distinguish us from some of the other creatures on the earth but we can not all our emotions to rule us. When we are ruled by our emotions we become unstable because our emotions can change with our circumstances, hormones, and moods.

Emotionally mature people are not moved by every wind that blows. They take their time to analyze and determine the best course of action even when it doesn't benefit them. I'll be honest I'm not totally there yet but it's a goal that I'm working toward.

We have to move past our hurts and pains to get to a place of stability and maturity. I'm not saying it's easy but it is necessary if we want transformation in our lives.

Hallelujah! Blessed man, blessed woman, who fear GOD, Who cherish and relish his commandments, Their children robust on the earth, And the homes of the upright—how blessed! Their houses brim with wealth And a generosity that never runs dry. Sunrise breaks through the darkness for good people— God’s grace and mercy and justice! The good person is generous and lends lavishly; No shuffling or stumbling around for this one, But a sterling and solid and lasting reputation. Unfazed by rumor and gossip, Heart ready, trusting in GOD, Spirit firm, unperturbed, Ever blessed, relaxed among enemies, They lavish gifts on the poor— A generosity that goes on, and on, and on. An honored life! A beautiful life! Someone wicked takes one look and rages, Blusters away but ends up speechless. There’s nothing to the dreams of the wicked. Nothing. Psalm 112 MSG

Then the angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, “Get up, and eat, for the journey is too long for you [without adequate sustenance].”So he got up and ate and drank, and with the strength of that food, he traveled forty days and nights to Horeb (Sinai), the mountain of God. I Kings 19:7-8

Too often in our walk with Christ, we can be spiritually minded that we neglect our natural bodies. I can't find any scripture that lines up with this thinking.

Here in I Kings, Elijah is encouraged to eat and rest for strength so that he could gain strength for the next phase of his journey. It is imperative that care for both our bodies and our spirits. If you have been neglecting to take care of your body time to get a check-up. Don't hesitate. Thinking will get you in trouble. Just move. You have work to do and it can't be fulfilled if you are not whole in your body.

When transforming your life it is important to have models and guides in your life.  Both help in different ways. Models show us the example of how to attain our goals and reach for things we didn't know existed, while guides walk alongside us and help us get through the weeds to reach our goal. Again, both are necessary because my eyes have to be open to the possibilities of more as I'm being helped through the ebbs and flows of life. 

Find those people that you are supposed to be connected to and shed dead weight. It's time to make some moves.

Vision will dictate your friends. #mylesmonroe

Friends make sure that as you are building your vision, you guard who you bring into your circle. Everyone is not your friend. Some people are there to talk you out of your vision. Others are there to steal the thoughts before you can get them birth completely. As we begin this new week take the time to see who is in your circle. Evaluate those around you. Remember Jesus only had 3 in his inner circle. Who is your inner circle? Do they build you or are you the one doing all of the work? Do they help to open doors for you as well as themselves or do they just jump through the doors you open? Check your circle.

Proverbs 10:17 The road to life is a disciplined life; ignore correction and you’re lost for good. 

As we move further in our week let's take the time to ask God for wisdom and to show us how to be disciplined in our lives. The scripture tells us to live a disciplined life. Which means we don't get sidetracked from our purpose by every sideshow hussle, and we don't get bent out of shape when improvements are brought to our attention. 

Yes, I know. Everyone does not know how to give constructive feedback. Take the true meaning and spirit of the conversation and make your adjustments. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Don't discount people because they don't come in the package you want. A child might give you the jewel that you need to finish your crown.

Let's talk about transitions this morning. One of the hardest transformational periods in our lives is that time when our bodies say one thing and our heads say another. Don't beat yourself up because you can't do the things now that you could a few years ago. Time and gravity bring about a change. Find the things that bring you joy now. Take some time in this season of your life to get to know you again. Don't be in despair about what was, get jubilant for what can be. You have the opportunity to reinvent yourself. Who do you want to be and what would you like to do? The world is your oyster, slurp it up.

Below is the biblegateway's scripture of the day. 

Ephesians 5: 25-26 MSG Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.

Wow, who wouldn't return this kind of love? LOL, the only thing that raised my brow was  the word wives. Let's just stick to one. I think some of the lessons from this passage are applicable to other relationships. 1. Love will make us whole. So if we can love others it will make them whole and it will heal the broken places in us. 2. Everything a husband does should be done to bring out the best in his wife. This means there would be no abuse mentally or physically. Beating will never bring out the best. 3. Ladies, we should be dresses with radiance and holiness. 4. If we understand how we are intertwined with others we understand that our love toward them not only blesses them but us as well. 

While this is talking to husbands, all of us can ratchet up our love quotient.

Transforming our situation starts with transforming our environment. Who are you allowing to pour into you? Who are you venting to and where are they taking your words?  Words are so power that they are what created this world. If they can create and call into existence things that were not into things that exist now we all must watch our words.

People will try to speak evil into your life if you allow them. Some are very unaware of the power of their words, while others are very calculative and planned with their torpedoing of your thought and ideas. Be careful what you take in because it will take root and be spoken from you as if it's you. Then you vent it to others and that noise pollution is passed on.

Be cautious of what is spoken into you, over you, and around you. They can change the trajectory of your life. #transformation

Have you taken the time to write down your goals? If they are not on paper they are just dreams. You deserve to not only have goals but to see them come to pass. Don't let time and excuses rob you of your destiny. 

Until tomorrow

Wednesday Word

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” - John 16:33

Peace is missing in so many of our minds.  Stress and anxiety are at an all-time high and people are seeking answers from everywhere but up.

Today, I encourage you to breathe, find someone to talk with, and practice a bit of self-care. As women, we believe it's selfish to get a massage because it seems luxurious but if you don't get that stress and tension out of your body it will eat you alive. At least go to the mall and the 20$ set in the chair massage. They really help on a tight budget.

My heart is heavy with the number of suicides and the attempt that are all around. Life can suck but not so bad that ending it is the only answer. Find an outlet for your pain and frustration. It is real but there are real answers. Love over fear.

Until tomorrow

Transformation Tuesday

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Change is a little word that makes so many of us uncomfortable but it does not have to. Think about change as a great opportunity to grow and learn new things. It is only when we go into change with fear that we become paralyzed. Embrace change as you transform into the beautiful creature God has called you to be.
Until tomorrow
