3 things you can do right now to kick off 2018 on a high note!


2018 isn’t approaching anymore, it’s here! Now what? I know you all have written out your goals for the year and I’m excited for all of you and prayerful that you reach each one of them! The main ingredient with goal success is preparation. Whether it’s mental prep or some type of physical preparation we have to be in a place conducive to hitting our goals and making the stride! Here are 3 things you can do right now to kick off 2018 on a high note:

  1. Meditate. Take some time to just sit and be quiet. Pick out your favorite scripture and just think on it and what God is saying to you through His Word. Let this scripture saturate you for a few minutes and declutter your mind.
  2. Reflect. Reflect in 2017. What went well? What didn’t go so well? Commit to not repeating mistakes and moving forward with more of what went well and successful. Reflect on God’s goodness and mercy to you throughout 2017 and take that reflection into the new year!
  3. Clean. I don’t have to tell you this but starting the year off with a clean house, clean office space and clean living area will do wonders for productivity! It just feels good!!

It’s a new year with new beginnings!! Signing off for 2017 but I’ll be back in 2018 with some fun content to foster some  fun discussions! 

Here’s to a successful, productive, creative and amazing new year! 

Repeat after me: In 2018, I can and I will!

Your Storm is Connected to Your Assignment

Some years ago, my cousin had a t-shirt custom made for me that said ‘On Assignment’ in rhinestones (yes, I wore it with rhinestones) across the front. If I’m honest, I wondered why she purchased that particular t-shirt for me, I mean, what assignment was I on? Every time I wore the t-shirt, I would get stopped and people wanted to know what the assignment was. I would reply with my ‘churchy’ answer and say, “I’m on assignment with what God has commissioned me to do!”, still having no idea of what that was. Don’t get me wrong, I had bits and pieces of it, but I didn’t know the full extent of my assignment. As the years went by, the Lord began to speak to me more and more and began to make clear to me more aspects of what He called me to do. As I pondered on what I saw in the spirit, a myriad of emotions began to form from excitement, fear, doubt, and the list goes on. Then it started. What you ask? The storm. As the rain fell, winds blew, and floods came to beat up on me, the magnitude...

Do the Work in 2024!

Happy New Year Girrrl!  I pray that the first 3 days in 2024 have been fruitful!  As women, God has called you to do the work in 2024. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges and projects that we encounter on a daily basis, but we must remember that God is always with us and has equipped us to handle whatever comes our way. In 1 Chronicles 28:20, King David reminds us of this truth: "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished." This verse applies not only to the building of the temple, but to any work that God has called us to do. We must be strong and courageous, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. To truly do the work that God has called us to do, we must first seek His will for our lives. This can be done through prayer, reading the Bible, and seeking wise counsel from...

Thottin' & Boppin'

I recently heard this term from my younger/older cousin. I call him that because he’s younger chronologically but very mature in many ways. When he said thottin’ & boppin’ you know I had to ask! The term THOT (which I loath) means ‘that ho over there’. The term boppin’ here suggest to be proud of what you’re doing almost as if to have no shame about it. I laughed at this as he explained to me what it was because honestly it just sounds funny. After giving it some thought, it is my message to my Christian sisters!  Stop thottin’ & boppin’ in the church! Thottin’ and boppin’ brings consequences and unnecessary stress. What do I mean? We all go through seasons of disobedience and as the old folks used to say, obedience is better than sacrifice. Maybe you’ve found yourself here: dating a man in the church, sleeping with him and still coming to sing on the choir on Sunday, and dare I say still got the nerve to take communion! Girrrl Stop! This should not be! You can’t b...
