Build Trust

Trust is the foundation of every strong relationship. "Trust is the glue that binds hearts together in a mosaic of love."



"Trust isn’t built overnight, but with every small act of honesty and integrity, we lay another brick in the wall of love."

Cultivate Gratitude
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. "In every moment of gratitude, we find more love."



"Gratitude is the seed that, when planted in the heart, blossoms into love and joy."

Let today be about forgiveness

The Power of Forgiveness

Forgiveness heals wounds and paves the way for new beginnings. "Holding onto anger only traps us. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves."



"When we forgive, we release ourselves from the chains of the past, making room for a future filled with love."

Today let’s focus on Nurturing Self-Love

Self-love isn’t selfish; it’s essential. "When we learn to love ourselves, we unlock the door to loving others deeply."



"Self-love isn’t the destination, but the journey that guides us towards profound connections with others."

For those that have decided to take this journey with me. Thank you!

Here’s a few things that I talk about in the book that may help you along the way!

Embrace Vulnerability

Vulnerability is the first step towards genuine connection. "In love, as in life, our courage to be vulnerable is what makes us truly human."



“True love demands us to strip away the layers and show up raw and real. It’s in our brokenness that we find beauty."

Be ok with being broken…it can be fixed!

Focus Friday:

Had to take a day off just to gather my thoughts; I have a lot going on. Seems as though my professional life is thriving but my personal life is having a few challenges.

I’ve had 4 people in the last 2 weeks ask me about when “THE BOOK” would be done.

To be honest I stopped writing completely between the restaurant, my dads health and my moms well being it just hasn’t been my main focus. Writing is my therapy, I need it like we need water. It allows me to get everything off my chest. It’s my stress reliever. Because I haven’t done it in so long, my shoulders feel like bricks and my head is constantly pounding from migraines and I’m just mentally exhausted.

My dad is a Soldier, this man has been through hell and high water, he’s a fighter. Years ago on one of our many outings together he told me when the time comes for him to pass away what he wanted to happen. I recently shared that with my mother and sister right before we had to have POA paperwork drawn just in case he passes away.

My mom and sister are struggling with the decisions he made; I am not. My father is strong minded and never said anything he didn’t mean. I guess because I’ve already known what he wanted that when he repeated it; I was already prepared.

My dad told me to not let him suffer and I will not.

My constant questions to him are:

Are you Cold?
Are you comfortable?
Are you in pain?

I love my father more than anything and want him here forever but I have to take my wants away to respect his wishes. In my eyes God is in control and I trust him with my entire heart.

I will say that this is the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in my life, watching my parents get old. Watching my mother in more pain than my father because she can’t handle seeing him in his current state. Holding back my own feelings in order to allow her and my sister to have theirs. I guess it’s the assignment God has giving me and I’m ok with it.

Just asking for prayers for my family, my father, my mother, my siblings.

Truth Tuesday

Today is November 30, 2020. My writing coach suggested after we talked today that I send a text to my girlfriends because I woke up feeling like I was not okay. She suggested that I simply text, I need you to support me! Nothing more and nothing less. She asked me if I knew what female elephants do when another female elephant needs support. I told her no, she explained that they create a barrier around her and not allow anything or anyone to get to her. They allow her the time and space she needs to regroup. When she explained it to me, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard, it sounded magical.

She went further by sending me a text that explained it even further. The text read, Scientists tell us this: They normally take this formation in only two cases - under attack by predators like lions, or during the birth of a new elephant.

This is what we do, girls. When our sisters are vulnerable, when they are giving birth to new life, new ideas, new ministries, new spaces, when they are under attack, when they need their people to surround them so they can create, deliver, heal, recover...we get in formation. We close ranks and literally have each others' backs. You want to mess with our sis? Come through us first.

This is what I needed at that moment, my girls surrounding me not letting anything or anyone get to me. I needed reassurance that they had me, but I never sent the text. This is what I do. I have moments when I’m extremely fragile but instead of asking for help, support, encouragement I tend to go into either a mode of silence and retreat to my bedroom, which is my safe place or the extreme opposite of go-mode. Go mode is non stop, gotta get s**t done mode. No sleep, fast pace movement, all the checks marked on my to do list which ultimately leads into extreme exhaustion. There’s no middle ground for me. Very two different ends of the spectrum which both cause emotional distress. I haven’t quite figured out how to balance it all.

I’m working on it!

I’m working on myself!

Today is October 30, 2022, 1 year and 11 months after the above writing submission I still haven’t sent the text to my girlfriends and I still haven’t completed this book. I’ve been in a state of depression for weeks and I’m not ok but for some reason sending a text out is the hardest thing to do. I’m the one who receives the text messages, I’m the one who provides comfort, support, encouragement and solutions to my close friends and family members.

I feel like I’m drowning and the people who are around me are just watching and waiting for me to take my last breath.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails”. (I Cor. 13: 4-8a)

Why isn’t this the prerequisite for falling in love? Why do we stay in relationships that don’t represent what God has outlined as Love?

Love has definitely failed me or maybe I was never in a loving situation. Whatever the case may be; I know that I am capable and I know that I am deserving and so are you.

Some would automatically think that with all I have going on and all that I’ve accomplished; should be enough! But not when the feeling you have about yourself is that you are not enough. Situations and relationships have caused me deep insecurities and I started to pinpoint the reasons almost 10 years ago. 10 years ago I started writing this book; it first started off as a fictional piece that had similarities to my life. The title changed so many times but as I got deeper and deeper into writing all these suppressed feelings came to the surface and poured out of me as I wrote. While writing tears would stream down my face but when I was finished; I felt so much better. Writing became my therapy, it began to heal wounds that I just placed a patch over.

I’m no longer covering my wounds to protect the people that caused them. It’s their burden to carry not mine. I’m taking my life back today. My prayer is that this book provides many of you with the courage to stand up, to speak and seek your truth.
