Who Follows Rachel Hollis? Hey Friends, I do. I am not writing these words as marriage nuptials, but I am saying that I do follow Rachel Hollis.

I didn’t know that I was going through a period of mourning when their marriage died on social media this past summer of 2020. As a black woman I should have been more involved in the Black lives Matter movement or more outwardly saddened by George Floyd’s death but instead I went into a…

I was watching a show with my girls the other night. It was a karate show based on the classic Karate Kid movie from the 80’s. A group of yogi women walked into a dojo space with their mats in hand. They looked around the space and saw that it needed work. They started to…
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Matthew 5:11 Friends, today I am sitting in another moment of deep despair. Despair lingers around when there is no hope in sight. Despair stays around when you can’t see…

My thoughts that continue with this study is that faith is a gift that grows belief and with belief comes hope and with hope, love.

Welcome to Throwback Thursdays. Found this one hiding in the archives. It is actually apart of a devotional book that I wrote called the Live Life Project.

Speak Boldly in Faith!! As I was studying, reading, and researching about cognitive instruction during a psychology class the following thought came to me, so I wrote it down. . . “They will refer to your belief in God as nonsense. They will call it myth and mystery used to explain the unexplainable. …
Motivation for Monday is so that we can help each other get through hard times. When the enemy comes in like a flood we have to know how to fight back! These are somethings that I say to myself when I’m having one of those days. You know, the days when you feel…

So, How did I get “Wonderfully Lost?” I guess I wasn’t paying attention. I took a wrong turn somewhere. But I want you to know that I am content that nothing can separate me from the love of the Lord. Therefore, nothing can separate you from the love of the Lord. Paul writes: …
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Matthew 5:11 I had to write this down because I think the attack wants me to remain quiet, but I will speak out on this today . . . Someone said…
