Free Yourself of the Limitations
We often move through life entrapped by emotions, mindsets and epectations imposed by others, and it can be a painful experience. Today, I want to share with you a small snippet from my upcoming release, Let’s D.I.P.

The Ex Insecurities
Hey babe, I saw my ex at the mall today, and he told me to tell you hello. How do you think this spouse responded? What would your response have been? Well, let me share what my husband would probably do – he’d give me the side-eye, and then ask, “Which one?”! In the earlierContinue reading “The Ex Insecurities”
I’m Tired of the Hustle, I’m Ready to Flow!
Do you remember the movie, “Hustle & Flow” that hit the screen in 2005?

Are You Afraid of Success?
Happy Tuesday, family! I’m having one of those “reality moments” in my life where I’ve recognized that I was making excuses for not executing God’s plan for my life.

Most share that the issus iis fear, pride, denial or finances, and each of those could certainly play a role but is there something deeper? ToContinue reading “Counseling and People of Color”
Don’t Be So Quick to Judge
If you met me on the street looking like this, what would be your first thought? She’s crazy, she needs help? Something’s wrong? We generally come up with an opinion that’s negative when we engage with someone who “appears” differently, okay, maybe not you – but most do. As an African-American woman who is educated,Continue reading “Don’t Be So Quick to Judge”
I Can Cope
What do you consider being the first step to coping? In my opinion, it’s mindfulness. Mindfulness is defined as, “the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something; a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feeling, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used asContinue reading “I Can Cope”
I’m Ready To Push
When was the last time you pushed yourself beyond your comfort zone? We do it physically some times, emotionally some times but spiritually, we seem to take it as it comes without exerting that extra push to excel. Today, the Holy Spirit is saying PUSH into the next level of greatness that’s awaiting you. https://www.blogtalkradio.com/empowermentplace/2020/07/22/im-ready-to-push
