There will be times in our lives where we feel defeated. It might feel like we’re catching one bad break after another, and the negatives just won’t stop coming. In these moments, it might feel nearly impossible to keep holding onto hope and keep a positive attitude. At these times, though, staying positive is the most important thing you can …
As we enter a new year, many of us spend time reflecting on the past year. We think about all that we have endured, all that we had longed to do but didn’t, all we accomplished, the highs and the lows, and all the moments in between. As I did my own reflecting, my most defining moment of 2021 was …
Happy New Year, everyone! We made it a whole year, and I am so proud of each and every one of you. As we move forward into this new year, I want to take some time to reflect on the last one. 2021 was a very hard year—for a lot of people, not just me—but I’m looking at 2022 with …
Remember to stay present with this version of you. This is a reminder I am telling myself right now. Recently, I’ve been somewhat freaking out about becoming a mom. I’ve been so excited for so long but with my due date approaching in just over a month, I’m starting to feel all the fears and feelings. I’m starting to wonder …

A positive mindset is a powerful thing. Our thoughts shape our feelings, and our feelings influence our actions. Lately, I’ve been realizing how much my mindset plays into my attitude and my behaviors. I’ve also been working on changing my negative thoughts before they turn into negative attitudes or behaviors. For example, I know I’m someone who needs to feel …
In the face of loss I am rebuilding myself. Y’all, it’s been a while. Over a month since I last blogged. Over a month since I’ve really been engaged on social media for my speaking page. I needed this break. I still feel like I could take a longer break, but I think I am going to come back a …
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but you deserve to be happy. You deserve to wake up and feel good. You deserve to be passionate, energetic, excited about life. For a very long time, I didn’t believe I could be happy. I didn’t even know what happiness was. I’ve gone between manic and depressive episodes, and I …
If something is starting to feel more like a chore, it could be a sign for you to take a break. As many of you know, blogging hasn’t been easy for me and I think the word chore definitely describes how I feel about it currently. And I don’t want it to feel that way. So I’m doing what I …
