Finding yourself again


Have you ever got so wrapped up in life that you no longer know what it is you loved doing with your life before becoming career oriented, before having kids, and before getting married?  Do you remember the last time you did something for yourself that was literally for yourself?  I don’t. As a matter of fact, I have never really done something for just me. I spent my whole life serving others but in things that doing like dancing, singing, braiding hair, and planning events for my friends! All things I loved doing but yet now I am struggling with trying to do something for myself and I honestly don’t know where to start.  Somebody asked me the question, “what do you like to do?” and I told them all the things that I liked to do but then she re asked me and said, “what do you like to do for yourself?” and I just stood there like, “myself?” I have gone all these years serving others and never really served myself. So now I have decided that I’m going to look for some things to try out! If I like it and our budget is fit for it, then I will continue it but if I don’t like it, I will continue to look for something until I find something that I like. So, I have chosen three things that I will try out. My first will be tap dancing! The Syncopated Ladies inspired me!!! I figured I love to dance and the way they were moving is how I see myself in my head sometimes!! So, I figured why not try!!! Second is Bikram Yoga (hot yoga)!!! I love how relaxing yoga is but thought it would be interesting to try out a hot yoga class after checking out the classroom in Life Time fitness!!! Thirdly, I am going to try adding more moves to my roller-skating skills!!!! I love watching people do fancy foot work and I’m always like I wish I could do that!!! So enough wishing for me and more trying!!!!!! Of course, all of this could add up, so I will be doing them one at a time!!!! I will make sure to update yawl on what I’m doing!!!! So, I dare you to step out of your I wish box and go TRY!! Trying can’t hurt you but seating wishing you would of is not something you want to live with!!!! I want to leave this earth knowing I tried everything that my heart was set on!!!! Our lives as woman may be complicated and busy but that doesn’t mean lose sight on the things that also make you happy!!!!Share in the comments section if you’re going to try something new for the month of April!!!! Enjoy the videos below!!! Once again, it’s a joy sharing my life with you all!! Share, comment, and subscribe!!!!

Following the Dreams Within You

Image
So many of us have dreams. We have all these goals we feel like we need to reach or accomplish in order to live the life that we think is best for us!  So, what happens when that dream doesn't actually happen? Why do we become content with the situations that were in and then use that as an excuse for why we never accomplished our dreams? What happens when you do accomplish that dream and then realize it wasn't for you? What would have happened if we followed the dreams that God placed within us? Wouldn't that be a win win. Wouldn’t it be ideal that He did all of the work for us because I mean after all He is God? That would be pretty cool I suppose, but not nearly as fulfilling as playing a part in that dream that He had put within us. I am in no way, shape or form a pastor and nor am I trying to preach to you, but I'm only sharing what I have experienced from not listening to God and just doing everything my way. So, some of you know I braid hair ...

anx·i·e·ty aNGˈzīədē/ a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome….. I’ve pretty much had this issue my whole life! One that I can honestly say I’m not of ashamed of. I use to go back and forth between the whole concept of, “if you believe hard enough He(God) will fix the problem” and “well if you say you have anxiety or depression than your speaking it into existence”. Here’s the thing though…… no one can really move forward or overcome a obstacle like this if they’re not allowed to be human and actually feel and really try to work through with what they struggle with and why. I do believe that God can heal but He doesn’t always. I don’t believe that He wants to just fix everything for us so that we can live this happy fairy tale fantasy for the rest of our lives. Depression seems to have a strong hold in my family. I’m not ashamed to say that I go through seasons of it. I’m also pretty sure anxiety runs...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo sorry about neglecting you all for the past month!!!! I have had a lot of frustrating things happen to me in the past month! Sometimes when you think you can trust people and work as a team with people, you realize that even those people that seemed trustworthy can fail you. Everyone that knows me knows my heart is so passionate about youth, but sometimes everyone on your team isn't and that can make establishing a healthy relationship very hard. Once again I have learned that you can't trust everyone but this time I walk away without anger but with grace, pride and gratefulness. I have learned the kind of parent I want to be in my own kids lives and I have learned so much from the kids that God had given us temporarily. I have learned that my husband and I can overcome anything together and I have learned how to cook for more than 12 people and cheaply!!! I have learned to show grace through difficult times and have continue...
