"Doubt is a thief who steals your dreams from you..."

Remember that every time your thoughts try to bully you with "It's too hard, or it seems impossible, I can't do that..."  If you think you can, then that's all you need to know. Period.

I thought for sure by 36 I would have it all together, but God reminded me this morning that I do have it all together! I've gained all the experience I need to set out on this passionate-wild dream of mine that has finally come together. You see, to the average eye, I look to be all over the place... (Chuckle) Dreamers and doers take risks alone.


I'm thankful for my few sister-gems who see beyond what they hear from my mouth and for supporting me the way that they do. This morning's workout was not going to happen because my mind was telling me, "I'm too tired."  It wasn't until I imagined my gem-sistas working out viciously and then it happened. I rolled outta bed and put on my FIGHT!


Surround yourself with like-minded people, so that they can lift you up when you feel down.

Addressing My Mess...

I have a question for you... If "truth" sets you free, would you tell the truth? Even if it meant getting uncomfortable and putting important things on the line? 

I'm laughing because I recently told the brutal honest truth about how I felt about something and it was so raw I couldn't believe I did that, but it felt soo good! Ha! My deliverance was all over the place and so NOT structured! But that was the beauty of me addressing my mess because when God is in the midst-- it really is all good! The funny thing about me delivering my messy business is that everything worked out in MY FAVOR!

Some people call me a dream chaser,
but I call me a "free soul....". 
Sitting in a box gives me anxiety, which is why I often wander. 
I like to get lost. 
I like to piss people off... You have to know me to know why. Don't take it personal...
I like to work hard because I like results. 
I like imbalance--
I like imperfection--
I like when things don't make sense 
because it all allows me to freestyle on the runway. 

My runway......

A close friend of mine recently said to me....

“You can be great at it, if you play the game.” I thought about that for a second... And reflected over my lifeline and realized, I'm 34 years old and I ain't NEVER been a sell out, ever! Although, I've learned  many treasured lessons, I just don't have time for pettiness.
However, I do have time to make a difference in the world.... I try not to judge your foolishness, but I am human, so forgive me.


I'm not that type of girl who runs with the crowd. I run alone. I don't need to be accepted because I've already been accepted by God. I live for the purpose that he created me to live for and if that means standing alone, well I'll do just that! Do you know why? Because the times when I'm down, and ya'll chitter chatter about me, it is God, who lifts me up and helps me get back to my feet. He cares about me...

One thing I want you to understand is that the world will praise you when your up and talk bad about you when your down, BUT it is GOD who will see that you make it through... Live to please Him, not others....

“Yea though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, death, death... There once was a time when my thoughts abused my mind so wrong, I thought I was going to die. Life just wasn't what I expected. Every move began to terrify my soul, so I ran away---.” J. Rose

One of my biggest fears was being away from my children long enough for the world to have a greater influence, but I recognize the significance of our time together the first few years of their lives. With both my children in school this past year, I was extremely proud of their accomplishments. But even still-- That gave me only little ease when I excitingly went to help my husband with his office. I can bashfully admit this new adventure is scary for me because I don't ever want to stop being the happy-fun-supportive-hands-on-mom God appointed me to be for my children. 

The other night, I was so tired from traveling late, working long and rushing back and forth that I came home and plopped on my bed. My daughter gave me one of her relaxing little massages, while singing lullabies. Meanwhile my son laying next to me, turned off his kindle game after only playing 3 mins and took it upon himself to put on worship music. He sang along every song until his daddy came home late that night. As I type this little blog, tears are drowning my face because his relationship with God means the world to me! 7 years old... On this Independence Day I am celebrating my freedom from an abusive thought relationship! “I have the mind of Christ and do hold the thoughts of His heart.--”

“Everyday is an Opportunity to get Closer to your Goal.”

One thing I will not accept from my family is “sloppy work.” If your going to do something, your going to do it right, the first time. Time is way too precious to waste having to clean up messy work. As a matter of fact, while your mumbling, grumbling and playing because you don't wanna do the work, somebody else is passing you up. Yes, we all have our own race to run, but when 5..10 years go by, guess who's going to be reaping the reward of hard work?

I refuse to have an unsuccessful family. I spent all morning coaching my son through his chores. I actually had to stop what I was doing, to coach him through. I'll be honest, at first I was annoyed because I got stuff to do and he's 7 years old. He knows better than this foolishness... But when I thought about it, I had to laugh. He's a 7 year old boy who wants to jump and play ball. (Know your child.) My job as the parent is to be as patient as possible. (Parents are the leaders.) Yelling only escalates tears and frustration as well as discourages the result. (Kids do what we do.) My job as the leader is to show him the reward that hard work produces. (Be the example.) 

Parents, coaches, leaders... Although it's important to be firm, it's effective to be calm.

Ps: Happy Mother's Day Moms! Our job is a continuous work.
