BRUH…!
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
THATS A NO BRAINER!!!
IM GETTING EVERYTHING BACK THE 😈STOLE!!!
How DID I LOOSE EVERYTHING THO..?!!!
BRUH!
EVERYTHING???!
You lost more than some stuff…
BUT
You still have to keep going…
You have to believe you can recover…
God for bid..
THATS A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Especially since some possessions are irreplaceable…
Not all possessions are material…
Which makes it even harder to recover…
It is possible,
If you are willing to change…
Habits are learned,
So,
Learn something new.
Rebuild you….
TODAY
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Tomorrow is a calendar designation only.
When we awake and are aware of time, we have already stepped in today.
There is a reason it was recorded when said, “DO ALL YOU CAN DO TODAY”.
While it is yet TODAY…
Time is a delicate storm to navigate,
It can be squandered or captured. You can sieze the DAY or let it slip into memory.
Whatever encounters you today, the good the bad the beautiful and the ugly…
It is the choices you make throughout these 24 hrs. That makes the difference.
Lessons I have learned…
Once the day is done & you are blessed to lay your head down to lift it when the Sun or the alarm clock provokes you out of your sleep;
Know that, though it seems like the same routine realize that it’s all brand new.
Leave regret on the pillow wash off its residue step lively into your next moment…
Because these moments only come ONCE in a lifetime…
Please do well, Don’t be super critical of the misteps you take.
Let your words flow with the fragrance of HOPE Kindness & Love.
Guard your heart with all you have.
From your heart FLOWS the issues of LIFE…
Dont allow your issues to grow into problems…
Easier said than done, but that is why it’s called,
WORK…
The thing about adulting is that you have to handle what you are responsible for,
And WHO…
NEWSFLASH, the very 1st thing you are responsible for…
IS YOU…
WE LIVE, WE LOVE, WE GROW…
Adulting 101… God bless us all…🙏🏾
LOYALTY 🤔
What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
An attribute that is not given lightly.
It is EARNED…
It is carefully given, extended to those who have shown they can be trusted.
Entitled to my innermost thoughts…
It is not passed to those with flattering words, nor is it extend to those baring gifts.
LOYALTY is a proven sword that has proven its worth through every battle.
Loyalty has its scares & wounds, yet still through the fire, it is proven to be more valuable.
Loyalty is a value of the heart that treasures it above itself…

NEVER LOSE HOPE…
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Feeling hopeless and ready to give up on Life itself…
I received the most powerful & simplest encouragement that literally changed my entire outlook…
“As long as you are alive.., There is always Hope…” – Apostle M. Waller
I dont even think my pasture knew at the time how that simple statement changed everything for me.
SPIRITUAL PILLARS:
FAITH brings the initial belief
HOPE SEALS THAT BELIEF
LOVE IS THE GREATEST, for GOD IS LOVE
HOPE NEVER FAILS
HOPE NEVER DISAPPOINTS
HOPE NEVER QUITS…
Hope is not a wish…
Hope is not a faint breeze riding wishful thinking.
REAL HOPE is sure…
HOPE SAVED MY LIFE…
And here I stand today as tangible evidence of these simple wise words…
“AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE..,
There is always HOPE…”
WHAT A DAY
How do you celebrate holidays?
HOLIDAYS ARE FAMILY & FRIENDS TIME
Sit down for a moment is usually the thought after preparing for the day or the night of events.
The occasion makes it well worth it.
Spending time with family, friends, & FOOD!!!
Depending on the occasion, the menu is usually full of what everyone brought or bought.
Any occasion spending time with family members and friends makes time worth every second.
Smiles, laughter, & memories make it priceless.
With the reminder that not all of us are here to be seen or heard makes it even more precious.
The TIME we have together is unknown,
Therefore, there are some tears involved, from time to time.
Reminiscing about life…
Reflecting on lessons each of us has learned during the time apart helps fill the air with stories that help fill the air with emotions, which add value to every moment spent.
Recovering those lost to time refreshes their missing presence…
With a beautiful joy, we say hello with warm hugs,
Followed by Jabs to the ego as laughter spreads when your most embracing moments are shared by those closest to you.
The time is precious;
The reason to gather becomes bigger than the calendar date.
These moments remind us of the love we have anchored to us.
Family…
That’s what it really is about…
Whenever the pieces of your life come together in one place…
It’s the definition of a magic moment where…
Lost loved ones are resurrected with every recalled encounter…
We call to them when our thoughts run back to, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…?
Even writing this…
In our memories, our loved ones still exist…
Holiday…
What better occasion is there to see their smiles…
When we hear their voices…
When you reach the untouchable…
… Time has a sense of cruelty…
A double-edged sword…
Memories cords…
I think of these things as tears build in my eyes even know…
” DAMN I MISS YOU…”
My Family…
My friends…
These tears remind me…
I will see you again…
Until then, these occasions bring you back again…
I look up to the sky, knowing I will see you again…
CHERISH THE TIME YOU HAVE…
Every moment….
Every day….
As time ticks away…😥
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.
BACK IN MY SINGLE DAYS LOL
My roommate and I decided that RAMEN NOODLES would be a good substitute for Spegetti pasta….
….it wasn’t…
EPIC FAIL
Turned into an interesting tomato soup at the end…
Yes, it was as bad as it sounds…
I dont recommend it at ALL…
But desperate times call for desperate measures…
That was a little too desperate, though lol…
SELF WORTH

#3 YOUR VOICE DOES MATTER, but there is more value in an attentive ear, paired with an Understanding mind…
#4 PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING
5# NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU, “YOU CAN’T DO…”
#6 BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, NOT IN THE OPINIONS OF YOUR PEERS… They’re just as confused as you…
#7 FEAR GOD AND LIVE LIFE FEARLESSLY.
#8 YOU ARE LOVED, MORE THAN YOU KNOW.
#9 TRAVEL MORE!!!!!
#10 TRAVEL OFTEN!!!!
Hmmm…
Do you see yourself as a leader?
Interestingly, a leadership role hasnt been the #1 attraction.
I think a leader doesn’t look for the leadership spot.
I think it’s a natural gravitation towards the position.
It’s a need to fill the areas that are lacking in the things which are concerning.
Leadership comes from a genuine desire to serve.
A need to see equity and justice served correctly.
It is a determination to see “it” done.
An, “If you want it, done right,
DO IT YOURSELF” mentality.
Do I see myself in this light…?
We will see…
