Father’s Day

Image
  Heavenly Fathers Day  My father came to America at the tender age of 20. He left Antigua and came to this country for a better life. He worked hard and became an entrepreneur. He and his brothers owed Goddard Auto Body shop in Philadelphia, PA.  However, he had bigger dreams and wanted to be a musician. He loved music! As a child I remember him writing songs and singing all the time. My greatest childhood memories are listening to music and singing with my dad. We would listen to    Prince, MJ, Whitney Houston, Anita Baker and Donnie Warwick. Then I became his Protégé.  I was going to be the next Whitney Huston or Anita Baker. In his eyes I was already a superstar. He always believed in me. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 58. It breaks my heart that he left this world and did not achieve his hearts desire which was to be a musician.  In honor of my father I am committed to    push harder to achieve my goals and to make my dreams a priority. I it owe it to myself and I owe it to t

Everything Begins With a Thought

  Did you know that everything in this world is created twice? First, it is created in the mind as a thought then it is created in the physical form.   Everything begins with a thought.  That is why we must maintain a clear and sound mind.  A mind that is at peace is free to create a life of wellness. We have the power to create an incredibly fulfilling life!  It all begins in the mind.   A clear and sound mind requires that we maintain positive thoughts. Many different tools can be used to create a mind of peace; prayer and meditation, studying the Bible, daily affirmations, positive healthy habits, a productive daily routine and the removal of negative people. Most importantly we must quiet the negative inner voice by redirecting our thoughts to focus on the positive.  Philippians 4:8 KJV Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good rep

What Type of Love Do You Deserve?

“  We accept the type of love that we feel we deserve.” Often times when we are mistreated we get upset and say, “Why would this person treat me this way?” or “Why does that person continuously cause me heartache and pain?”    When in fact we should be asking ourselves the following:   Why am I allowing this person to treat me this way? Why is this treatment acceptable to me?    It’s was a choice...it was your choice.  You have allowed this.    I know this will sting a little bit but it’s so necessary to grow. It’s all in love  ❤ It stung for me too and it was a tough pill to swallow. But I’m so grateful for the revelation.    Be gentle with yourself and take some time to process and reflect.   When you are emotionally ready ask yourself the following:  Why am  I  accepting  bad treatment from this person?    Why do I accept less?     Why do I feel that I that I deserve inferior treatment?     Why haven’t I formed boundaries with this person?    Do I have feelings of low self worth?

The Mountain

Image
Mountains are beautiful, massive and majestic towering structures.  They possess a beauty and prominence unlike anything else on earth.  The mountain is also a symbol of adversity, trials and tribulations. Both figuratively and literally, a mountain can be a safe haven or the biggest obstacle you will ever face.        Magnificent things happen on the mountain. We overcome obstacles, conquer fears, and win battles. We learn to press through, press on and find our inner strength on the mountain.  Safety and refuge are found on the mountain. Pushing past adversity and clawing your way up to the top makes you stronger. When you are weak, you are made strong on the mountain.    GOD is with us on the mountain. He draws us closer to Him. He lovingly leads and protects us along the journey. By His grace, we are given the strength and endurance to forge ahead and overcome all obstacles. We find inner peace on the mountain.  We shall find victory on the mountain.         Be well. Be blessed. 💕

Transparency Tuesday-Hollywood, Florida

Things are not always what they seem.... It would be easy to fake it and post happy vacation photos and tag #beachlife #bestlifeever.  I could easily portray a carefree life like I don’t have a care in the world but thats far from the truth and definitely not my reality. The truth is I hate being fake and portraying    false reality. I believe in transparency however I still believe in maintaining a certain level of privacy. I wrote this post because I felt compelled to share my truth.  My family and I have been dealing with a family crisis here in Hollywood, Fl. For years this place has been the epicenter of our crisis. It has been the source of    heart ache and pain. Someone near and dear to us had become lost and consumed by the streets of Hollywood. I hated this place. But the place is not the problem, it’s the spirit of mental illness and substance abuse.  We’ve been here multiple times but never for pleasure. When we come to Hollywood we’re busy searching the streets for our lov
