Girrrl Check Yo' RAGADICITY!

It’s 4 days into the new year, are you getting settled in to 2018 yet? I hope so because it’s here!

I love the new year because it produces new and fresh perspectives on life, goals, and even dreams. So I thought I’d start with this message: Girrrl! Let’s decrease our “Ragadicity” levels in 2018! I hear you asking, what in the world is Ragadicity? I like to make up words from time to time and this time is no exception:

I sat in on a webinar recently and they had us evaluate various areas of our lives. So on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the most ragged, what’s your Ragadicity level in the following areas:

Physical/Fitness -

Personal Development -

Spiritual -

Career/Business -

Social -

Financial -

Once you jot this down, take a moment and reflect on that. The reality is for most people there will be some areas where you are stellar in and then some areas where your Ragadicity is high. We want to work on decreasing the levels that are high! For instance, a major focus for me this year is financial - Girrrl, I gotta get my money right! This impacts so many things and right now my Ragadicity level is on 12! What area is your Ragadicity level high? What’s your game plan to decrease it? If you don’t have one now is the time to create it.

Let’s take social for instance. Girrrl, last time you’ve been on a date the drama ‘This Is Us’ was premiering (9/2016)! If this is you, examine what steps you could take to change this and how this change could impact your life. So you might commit to going out with friends twice a month or you could commit to a volunteer project a few times a month. Either of these could place you in front of new people to connect in various ways.

This will take a little work and reflection but it will be well worth it. When you can see things in front of you it makes it real.

When It Becomes Real, You Can Deal!

So let’s decrease the Ragadicity levels in our lives in 2018!

Ok, moving on….

#iSmile – Are You Packed Yet?

It’s been said that people may not remember what you said to them but they will always remember how you made them feel. This is how I remember Brock Benbow as one who would make me smile. I’m one of those people who if I hear someone laughing, I don’t even have to know what they are laughing at, I’m probably gonna start laughing too! Same goes for when someone smiles: you smile, I smile. Brock had a smile that seemed to be etched on his face, it never moved. I imagine that even the undertakers will not be able to contour his face away from that smile.

God decided to call Brock, my Sunday School student, home on November 11, 2019 at the tender age of 24 years old. So young, so sudden. I’m finding it hard to grapple with this one and I even find myself at times questioning God. Why him God? Why this one? Why now? The questions fill my head but they topple over when I re-focus on the fact the God knows best. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to spend the majority of the last weeken…

Fall Back Until the Divorce is in Black!

Have you ever caught yourself saying this?
-He’s separated and up for grabs! -He’s emotionally checked out of the marriage years ago so he’s single -He’s separated, he doesn’t even live with her anymore -He’s separated so he’s available
Girrrl Stop! Let me say that again: Girrrl Stop!

Separated is still married and last time I checked, you can date a married man! Don’t be fooled and don’t be made a fool of. When you encounter separated men you never know what can come of that situation so it’s best to fall back until the divorce is in black!
If you date online, you will see that the sites do allow separated men to sign-up and in their profile it will say ‘Legally Separated’ but real talk, that still means ‘Legally Married’. Many men and women choose to date while they are separated because maybe they feel the relationship is really over and they want to move on, however this can be a recipe for disaster for the single person!
Here are a few reasons single women should steer clear of…

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 be fornicati…
