Whenever I see someone announce their engagement and marriage, I congratulate them by telling them how beautiful marriage is. I don’t say it out of sarcasm. I mean it. Life is such a beautiful journey even with the winding roads. Marriage is no exception.

Be sure to do something a little special for your loved one today. #nationalspousesday

You ever see someone with something and wanted it

You ever see someone with something and wanted it so bad?

Yeah me neither. Ok ok...truth....maybe a few times in my life. But I don’t know if you grew up in the church like me, but I know that what’s for me is for me. And I’m learning that it’s for me in the season I’m meant to have it and not a season sooner.

So I compliment you today on #nationalcomplimentday for living in TODAY of your season and making it. You’re doing the best you can and sometimes that’s just good enough.

"🤎” In celebration of # let’s take time to honor THE youngest inaugural poet @amandascgorman who left us all speechless.

Today, we honor children (and grandchildren) that bring joy to our lives. And I know I’m not the only one who loves her children past the moon.

We were all a child once and in it we should remember that our lives have purpose.

For the person with depression, your life has purpose. For the battered woman, your life has purpose. For the father longing to see his child(ren), your life has purpose. For everyone, your life has purpose.

We must snuff out little moments in time that help reveal our reason for existing. No reason is too small.

When I realized that, the game changed.

Now go live in your purpose because you deserve so much more than living average. 😘

So truth is....

When we went vegan, it wasn’t because we didn’t like meat. Go figure!!

We were both just unhealthy and headed down the path that most people are. We were pre-diabetic, definitely more than just obese, and headed toward being pre-hypertensive.

The #1 @netflix documentary that pushed us over.....drum roll......was “Game Changers”.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

Tell me in the comments:

DO YOU EVER THINK YOU COULD BE A VEGAN? Why or why not?

It’s can’t just be me. Tell me if you can relate.

This past weekend I got away with my husband for a stay at @marriotthotels . It was for my business but y’all....it felt so good.
⁣
We both realized that we needed the time alone, away, together.
⁣
Don’t get me wrong! Of course we love our children but parenting definitely can takeover if you’re not consciously staying on top of it.
⁣
Your alone time doesn’t need to be far. Hell, it doesn’t need to be away. If you have someone you trust to keep your kids for a weekend, let them every now and then.
⁣
Make your relationship a priority. Take time to make sure you’re both on the same path. Just because the relationship starts that way doesn’t mean someone hasn’t had changes in thought.
⁣
Your relationship will thank you.
⁣
Are you making time for your relationship to thrive? If so, drop it in the comments so we can help others. 😘
⁣
Let’s be better together.

Worry about nothing and pray about everything.
⁣
Now whilst I love trap music and might curse a bit, I know exactly who provides EVERYTHING for me.
⁣
{Sorry if God talk offends you. Ok maybe not. But we love the Lord and Jesus in this space}
⁣
Sometimes it’s easy to become “of the world” and stop talking to Him. Don’t! And I say that because I’m guilty.
⁣
Life, for me, goes most smoothly when I talk to Him frequently. It’s helped me worry less, pray more, and have more faith.
⁣
As we start the week, be encouraged that there’s no battle or situation you can’t handle.
⁣
Save this prayer and recite as needed.
⁣
Dear Lord,
Help me to stay faithful and encouraged as I journey throughout the week. Help me see your grace and love in everything I do. Help me feel your presence in every second of each day. And help me to make decisions that make you proud.
⁣
Amen
⁣
Save to refer back to this week.

Feel like you always need to be in control?
⁣
It wasn’t until recently that I realized a lot of my strife around motherhood was the fact that I didn’t feel in control. How was it so that my children didn’t respond like I thought they should? They weren’t meeting my expectations.
⁣
But did I have too high expectations? Yes. Did I feel like my controlling way is damaging to my children? Yes.
⁣
I’m learning to take days as they happen. I’ve started being realistic with the fact that my children are growing beings not expected to act like adults.
⁣
My job is to teach them and constantly being triggered by their youth is damaging behavior. I don’t always get it right, but I’m constantly working on it. Surely I’m not alone in it.
⁣
What’s the best parenting advice you’ve received? Or what’s the worst? 👀

Want to know a secret?
⁣
One of the unique things about me is that I consider myself an empath. I didn’t know the term existed until last year when listening to a video on-line. Then I had an ah-ha moment.
⁣
Here are a few things that make me an empath:
⁣
1. I have strong intuition. I’m learning to trust my gut because it’s usually spot op about people and things. Learning to follow it has led to a more peaceful life.
⁣
2. I get overwhelmed with crowds. So I’m definitely not the person controlling the room. I want to be noticed as little as possible and usually after being in a large crowd, I retreat to being alone. But I’ve learned I’m not an introvert.
⁣
3. People tell me everything and I do mean everything (even strangers). I’m a walking diary for people. 😳It’s true. I’m also an excellent listener.
⁣
There’s so many more but I won’t bore you with the details. 😉At least not today.
⁣
What’s something unique about you?
