In our society, success is often defined by certain accomplishments, milestones, or material possessions. We are bombarded with messages that tell us we need to be or do certain things to be successful. However, this pressure to succeed can often prevent us from being present with God and fully embracing His process for our purpose.
When I first started my writing and purpose journey in 2014, all God said was “Your books will bring healing to the nations”. That’s it! Every book/journal I have published since then has been under the assignment and obedience to release what He has shown, placed and did in me. Over the years I’ve imagined what that vision will look like: best selling author, speaking and traveling the world and because none of that has happened I’ve procrastinated at times on my assignment. I’ve grown weary in well doing. I’ve spent money on coaches to give me a strategy. I created and rebranded my websites 50-11 times. I’ve created and started coaching programs to teach people what I know/do. I’ve...
We often ask what happens to the Dream deferred, but what happens to the dream you didn’t dream? The one that you never wanted or asked for because your trauma had you in survival mode … Chasing happiness in others or things. Running from poverty and lack. Searching for freedom from drama.

This frustration is due to one not understanding it's meaning. We know, in general, purpose is "what a thing or person was designed or created to do" but the misconception is that it something that you discover. Well I'm here to tell you that you don't discover your purpose, you uncover it. Think about how we were taught in history class that Columbus discovered America .... but how can you discover something that already existed and for that matter already had inhabitants. But that's another story. Before I...
Hello June🤦🏽♀️ Yes it’s June 2022 already and I hate to admit it but I’m struggling. Last night I looked at those goals and implementation plans I made back in January and guess what I still haven’t been consistent. Not consistent in weekly blogs and podcasting for my business nor my weight loss journey 😭 Just when I was about to have a full blown Pity Party, Holy Spirit was like NOT TODAY, we ain’t got no more time to waste. I preach every day is a new beginning, yet I was about to slip into condemnation. The thing is we can allow condemnation to creep into our self-examination process when we spend too much time dwelling on what we...
