My intentions are set; my goals are bone deep, my focus is steadfast, my vision is crystal clear. I will not be shaken; I will slow down and rest, but I’ll never stop trying to live abundantly.
Today’s goal, set some boundaries of what you will no longer allowed to cloud your vision.
Write it down, have that hard conversation with a loved one, a coworker or with yourself. Make it clear, make it truthful and set it down in your heart!
Now celebrate.
As we come to the end of the first Month of 2023, I hope you are ready and focus to have the best year ever.
Rejection is a part of life, sometimes it’s unfair, and sometimes it’s because we are not prepared to step into that present situation. Most times, it’s because we are trying to fit into a space that’s not meant for us.
Always trust that sometimes rejection is pushing you towards something greater. Do not allow rejection to move you. Do not allow it to stop you from reaching higher. Do not allow it to harden your heart.
Continue to move with purpose, continue to reach into the depth and announce your presence. You will know where you are meant to be, you will feel the warmth and the peace that comes with being accepted.
Never push or stay where you know you don’t belong. Recognize rejection when it comes and learn to walk away. In doing so, you will save yourself years of being stuck in the wrong place.
You were meant for this life! Look at your heart, it has touched darkness but still welcomed the light. There’s a part of you that refuses to kneel, refuses to accept that this is all there is to life. You are hope and love and pure light. Follow your heart, it knows the way. The universe misses the way you used to smile. Come on back home to the truth and the beauty of who you were meant to be.
Lately, I’ve been focusing on embracing what’s before me. Letting the past rest and living with true purpose.
As you take a deep look at your life and your future, change what’s not working, keep what makes you happy. Live in the moment and let your joy be known.
I would love to hear from you! leave a comment below.
Finding inspiration in our everyday routine is important, because it keeps us from getting bored and stagnant. It also challenges us to see things differently. Inspiration can come from the simplest of things, we must be open and ready to be inspired.
Each day we have an opportunity to try something new, to do one thing different from the day before. it could be simple as going for a walk and being present in the moment.
Take nothing for granted, make each moment count.
I would love to hear how you stay present and inspired each day.
I want to encourage you today to hold on; to not give in to grief. It will rob you of your best days, but you will survive. There’s hope at the bending of the road, a shift in time that will forever connect the lineage of hearts and hands, of soul and spirit. What you’ve lost will never be forgotten and what you’ve gained will live in your heart until the end of time.
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” —Thomas Edison
It’s time you understand that there’s no need to hide your failures, there’s no need to be ashamed if you’ve started something that did not worked out. There’s power in accepting your truth, there’s liberation in understanding that this is YOUR life, and you can change course, you can start over, you can make something new as many times as it takes for you to be happy and fulfilled. I know you’ve heard this before, but let me tell you again, all the things that happened in your past DOES NOT define who you are or who you can become. So, start again and again and again until you’ve mastered the art of acceptance, starting over and success.
These 8 quotes on starting over that will help you look to the future with hope.
It’s ok to start over as many times as needed.
You are worthy of second chances.
Take time to understand your journey.
Learn from your mistakes and start something wonderful.
The lesson is in the moments between failure and success.
Your ideas are valid, never let them die.
Find a new path and write a new story.
Patience is the key, what is yours will always find you.
Be proud of your journey; learn from the unfavorable experiences, expand your heart and grow and rise and become the best version of yourself.

Some called it intuition, sixth sense, a hunch, a feeling, my grandmother calls it gut feelings, but no matter the name, I always listen to it and pays attention. That feeling that’s crawling between your soul and your bones, it’s always trying to warn you, to tell you something is not right. Often times we ignore it and ended up paying the consequences.
This poem speaks of the truth of not listening to your gut feelings.
Broken Link
These walls no longer
Hold me
This house without
Your warm smile
No longer feels like home
A broken link
A body without hands
And hearts
You were the epicenter
Of my world
A beautiful disaster
I saw coming
But couldn’t turn
Away from
{}
This poem along with many more can be found in my book Sackcloth & Silk.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” Desmond Tutu
I know it’s cliché, I know you’ve heard it over and over again. Don’t give up on love.
So hear me out for a second!
Someone you love and trusted has ripped your heart wide open and you are left with the brokenness, the betrayal, the hurt and the feeling that you will never love or trust anyone again.
For some, the betrayal is unthinkable, and you can’t even bring yourself to talk about it. For some, you are still carrying the resentment and anger in your heart. For some, you shut the world out and fall into a dark place. For some the pain is too great and you made a promise to never let your guard down.
No matter how wrong things have gone for you, I want to encourage you today not to give up on love. Whether it’s a friend, a spouse, a brother, a sister or a lover, you have to get up, forgive them and move on.
Stop going back and reliving the pain. Forgive the person that hurt you, then forgive yourself.
Don’t give up on love. Never give up on yourself. No matter how many times love has let you down.
I believe one day when you least expect it, love will find you, and someone will tell you that you are their greatest hope and their sweetest blessing.
It’s not impossible, you’re not too old, or too broken, stop telling yourself that you don’t deserve love, that no one will ever love you. Start changing your pattern of thinking, let it all go and open your heart to the future and all the possibilities that awaits you.
After all you are my greatest hope.
There are good things waiting for you! I hope you know that, I pray you believe that.
Follow your heart, it knows the way. The universe misses the way you used to smile. Come on back home to the truth and the beauty of who you were meant to be.
