Empowering Women to Take Control: A Journey to Fulfillment

I am a true believer that you can’t heal in the same environment that got you sick, So many times you have fought the battle of you verses you instead of you for you. Yes there is a big difference in the two. I have come to believe that it doesn’t matter how many times you try to become the best version of yourself, there will always be people, places or things that try their best to keep you stuck.Triggers that arise that hinder your greatness. There is a small part of you that in turn sometimes feel like if you could just be better, if you just keep going, if you just step out on faith or just for once stayed focus on the thing you said you were going to do, then your world be just be so different.  The thing with this type of thinking is that it helps you think of all the possibilities your life could unfold into becoming, The problem is you believe in yourself to a certain extent. Not to much that it brings you out of the comfort zone that you are so use to living, or being aro...

I use to wonder why I couldn’t push through. I would literally start a project and when I was almost to the finish line. I would give up.  Have you ever been there before?  Well, that was me. I knew that in my heart, I deserved more. I desired more. I wanted to be the best possible version of myself for myself. I would read all the guru books, listen to all the audiobooks, watch all the YouTube videos that promised me I could be anything but only if I believed.  The saying is definitely true. You are what you think about. Just as you are what you eat. I had to stop the self sabotaging of my own belief system. I had to stop making excuses as to why I couldn’t achieve a thing. The hardest thing about becoming your best self is to never stop!  You have to show up for you mentally every single day, even on the days when you don’t want to. I had the inner belief that I wasn’t good enough or deserving of greatness because I allowed my fears of the unknown to hinder me from...

Meaning everything and everyone can give you at least an hour to enjoy You. You can p...

In life things get hard, it’s one of those things where you just want someone else to do it. The reality is, it’s your assignment and God has given it to you to fulfill. Let me tell you a little story. It took place over 5 years ago and at the time. My oldest son was 16 years of age. He had gotten hooked up with the wrong crowd. They had influenced him to be disobedient, staying out all times of the night, not coming home during curfew. There was even times when he would come home and be just a mess. Clothes dirty, looking like the world had taken him for a roller coaster of a ride. It had gotten to the point where he was stealing money from me just to hang out with this group of kids who were literally taking him down the wrong path. At first I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t endure this life. It was way too hard and I wasn’t ready for the assignment. There were nights that I couldn’t sleep thinking my child would be somewhere found in a ditch. There were even times when I was out looking ...

Doubt!!! Doubt is one of the most natural things that our mind creates without fail.

Listen I fell in love last week with Pita Chips! My husband took the family to Cava, we were out doing some shopping and of course the boys were hungry so we opted for Cava!  They have a very intriguing menu and because they had Vegan options I was able to get something delicious. So I got the Lentil Avocado Bowl! This bowl was so delicious, it has supergreens, roasted vegetables, hummus, avocado, Falafel. It just is so good and to top it off they added the pita chips!  I was in goodness heaven. The Pita Chips had me hooked. I just had to know how they made them. So I asked the young lady behind the counter and she said they are fried in Canola oil. My heart just sank, the disappointment I felt in that moment. Of all the oils I at least figured they would use olive oils, but because of inflation, the industry and the cheapest oil to get for consumer purposes would be canola.  I decided that I would make my very own Pita Chips, delicious and light! The ingredients are:...
