Say Yes! (For Women Only)

To my sisters...
JUST SAY YES!
You are Worthy! You are Beautiful Enough, Smart Enough and Are Enough!
Stand facing yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are worthy to be loved, respected and appreciated. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how truly wonderful and special you are, so that every negative voice or opinion of others would be drowned out with the sound of your own voice speaking loudly words of life, words that excite you and ignite you to become better

I know many women that sell themselves short, in fact I was one of them. I suffered from rejection, dejection, constantly looking for approval from colleagues, professional  and personal counterparts in my life and I fought to be noticed by so many people that really did not like me, appreciated me or celebrated my gifts. I learned  the hard lessons, some of them more than once, repeating the same mistakes...looking for love in all the wrong places from all those people that did not how to love me or choose to want to love me. I'm not talking about romantic love but more about how relationships have shaped and impacted me for the worst and the better.

I used to allow everyone to speak into my life who was not qualified to do so.  I allowed their opinions to shape my very thoughts. I allowed their opinions to break me, so much so it pushed me into solitude and ultimate depression. Truth is, their words and opinions controlled me. I hurt when someone disapproved of me, or who  never really got to know me and subsequently form their own assertions concerning me. I felt often times misunderstood and wondered why, people would not take the chance to delve deeper to discover my own uniqueness and the REAL person that I am. I was set up and betrayed by many human relationships, used for what it is that I can do and or what it was that I had at the time and when I was depleted, they left me, limping and wounded...they were not true members.

Learning the lessons above were extremely hard; I am certain every one at some point must take an introspective look at their lives and ask themselves, is this good for me? Is this what I want for my life and in my life? Is this person that I need to be around? Hence, after your consultation,  make a decision to let them or those things Go and Say Yes to You!  In a world where we focus on everything and everybody and lose contact with ourselves, it is time to Say Yes to the best thing that has ever happened to you...YOU!

Yes, I know it seems a little bit selfish but in a world filled with users, abusers, manipulators and those who are only in it for the ride. It is time to take the secret pill and decide, I want Me. I Say Yes, to loving me better, appreciating who I am, my strengths, my weakness, my good qualities and my bad. Tell yourself, I'll Say Yes to walking away from someone or anything that does not serve me well.

Sisters, there are lot of women who choose to say No, and stay where they are only tolerated and not appreciated. They choose to not follow their dreams,  nor choose the right way of escape from perhaps a bad relationship, they choose not to discover the women that they are, because they are caught up with other people's opinions and make it a point to please everyone else but themselves. I know that it may seem like that is normal because you have been living this way for so long. But sister girl, it's time to Rise Up and find the strength to Say Yes to living a better life, for you, for your future.

Go ahead, chase your dreams, love yourself and be Better...
You deserve the Best Things in Life...agree with me and SAY YES!

Shattered but Seen: Finding Light Through the Cracks of Family Pain

  There are moments in life when everything feels like it’s unraveling at once. When grief doesn’t knock— …it kicks down the door. Lately, I’ve been living in one of those moments. Watching my sister slip into another relapse, my mother bound by the weight of severe depression, while my father, siblings, and even the grandchildren carry the silent burdens of what feels like a collapsing family. Everyone is hurting. Everyone is surviving. Barely. And the pain? It’s loud, but we’ve all learned to whisper about it. Help! My family is falling apart. The Reality Behind Closed Doors People see us smiling in public and assume we’re okay. But they don’t see the family truth behind locked doors. They don’t see how trauma ripples through generations like a virus. And we’ve all been infected. No one talks about the shame of watching a loved one relapse again. Or the helplessness of seeing your once-strong mother not be able to get out of bed. Or how numb the rest of us become just ...

Living with the End in Mind

Three weeks ago, I preached my very first eulogy—stepping in for my dad, who had to be rushed to the hospital. The message I shared came from his sermon notes, “Death Is Only a Shadow.” One verse that stood out to me during that message was from 1 Samuel 20:3 , where David said to Jonathan: “But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” If I’m honest, 2025 has felt like a year marked by loss. Death has been moving through families and communities, hitting hard and often. I’ve attended more funerals this year than I can count. I’ve seen more “In Memory Of” posts and RIP tributes than I ever wanted to. I’ve cried tears of sorrow for loved ones and friends who are no longer here—people I can’t call, laugh with, or hug on this side of heaven. I’ve also carried the weight of others’ grief, feeling the sting of their pain. One thing is certain: we will all walk that road when our time comes. The real question is—are we living with the end...

An Open Letter to My Only Son...

Shared this post on my Facebook page and thought I'd just share with readers on my blog. Mother's Day has a way of causing people to reflect on life as we know it, the best thing about that day was to sit down and penned these words to my son. An Open Letter to My Son To My Only Son... I thought deep and hard about writing this letter on Mother's Day when it is a day where we celebrate all that is good about mothers.Truth is, son Mothers are not perfect, although we often pretend we are. Having you 18 years ago, I was not prepared for it at all. You came into this world without even a wince or cry, you stayed silent until I took you home and then you discovered your lungs, you let loosed on me and everything in your path, enormous shrilling sounds of a baby wanting attention. Dear Son... I learned as I went along, trying to figure out how a young mother at 21 could navigate her path with a baby in tow. I prayed for you long before you burst onto the s...
