MISSION: THRIVE

Image
In life we much aim to thrive.....not just survive! I implore each and every one of you to thrive.  By definition thrive means  Thriving is much more than survival; thriving means growing and prospering in new and challenging environments. To thrive you need RESILIENCE, ROBUST STRENGTH AND RENEWAL One of the quotes I live by in my life is by the late but great Maya Angelou

Step back and BREATHE

GREETINGS I started two posts in 2018 that I never summoned the courage to finish, much less to post! I stepped away from writing...well this blog because I enrolled in graduate school and writing papers consumed me. As I approach the commencement of this Degree, I am at the point AGAIN, of searching for what it is that I want to do outside of my profession to reflect and recalibrate. I want to carve paths and open doors, I want to be a servant, I want to be adaptive.....I want to be a leader, a pioneer, a trailblazer.  I am a leader, a natural-born leader, who was privileged enough to be nominated and accepted into a rigorous leadership program. I must create a personal sanctuary for myself.  At this moment I feel the need to step back, in order to move forward.  STEPPING BACK April 28, 2018 To Be, Rather than to Seem all 2018 We live in a technological era where everyone is on social media and creating a perception of their lives. Social media has created the need to al...

TWENTY18

Image
I have started so many post but I cannot seem to find the right one to be the first for 2018.  2017 was an extremely great year so I know wholeheartedly that 2018 would be magnificent...majestic!!! It will be the year of breakthroughs and opened doors.  Weakness....Frailness....Brokenness will not occur. I feel pumped and amped up about what this year has in store for me. I literally feel it in my heart, in my veins... just bubbling over. Excited or even Fired Up would be an understatement of how I feel. I hope that whatever each and everyone of you hope for and your heart desires...manifest. Don't be deterred when obstacles and setbacks pop up. I always believe, a minor setback is the slingshot to a  major come up. Doors will be closed and walls will be build, but always step back, take a breath and analyze the situation. Decide whether you should walk away or break the damn wall down and kick that door in.  Upon researching the number 2018 I found  2018 is...

DREAMS I have learned that nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.  I know and have experienced the results of hard work, determination and dedication. However, I have not always put it into practice in order to achieve all of my dreams and aspirations.  I feel that I am really and truly blessed with my talents and features, that I don't necessarily always use or rather implement in my life. So I as the new year is upon me, I have decided to to put as much time, energy and resources into this blog. I am currently on a purpose seeking mission in life. And regardless of where I am mentality, physically, emotionally or even financially, the yearning to Blog remains the same. We live in a world where the only thing constant in life is change. But with all the changes in my life, the yearning to blog has remained constant. I sat and reread my earlier blogs and thought to myself, "wow girl, you really did that?" I honestly couldn't believe I wrote those previous posts....

Humility

Image
What is humility?  Humility is defined as a modest and low view of one's own importance. I have always had a misconception about humility and pride. I was always under the impression that  pride just dealt with being BOASTFUL. I always thought that throwing your accomplishments and possessions in people's face was being prideful. Little did I know that was wrong.  How often do you  take credit for God's grace?? " I woke up this morning so I can go to work  and work hard so that I can get a pay check and pay my bills. And buy all the things I need and want." BUT.....  In actuality God woke you up this morning. Allowed you to walk to the bathroom, have clothes to wear, food to eat for breakfast. Gas in the car, a working car at that. A safe drive to work. But how would you  even have a job much less the opportunity to get a paycheck, without GOD.  Too many times we take credit for the things we have and the things we have acco...

I'm back

Image
I've been so busy, it's almost a year since I've posted something. I was very enthused about starting the blog jumped in full fledge, but them the fire turned to smoke. I don't know when or where my desire to write dwindled. Probably wasn't the right time or me just being plain ole lazy. However, all that said and done I'm making it my duty to write and express myself as often and consistent as possible.  I think life happened. Last year I set out a lot of goals I wanted to achieve and the more I achieved them the more I became unaware of the things that truly made me happy, the things that truly matter. These past few days have been quiet eye opening to me. An EPIPHANY. Everything I have...Everything I am...Everything I will ever be is all because of God. And his grace and mercy in my life. I have not gained or garnered anything in this world by purely my own actions or doings. Rather, they have been bestowed to me by my GOD .   Here's to new beginnings. To...
