Now that the Summer is officially over, I think this last recap post is quite fitting.  It’s definitely time to step into a new season.  Be sure to check out Summer Recap Parts 1 & 2

Goal Achievement

Midweek Motivation: Do One More Thing

So obviously there’s a theme going on this week.  Dreams Come True.  Leave a Legacy.  Do One More Thing. Apparently this is call to action week!  You won’t be able to browse this blog and stay sedentary in your life for too long, that’s for sure!   And you can be sure I’m

Legacy

What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind?

Letting Go

Summer Recap Part 2: Learning to Let Go

As I mentioned in Part 1, I have been learning a lot of lessons this Summer that have really shifted my way of thinking, which has effected my everyday actions.  It’s taken me all Summer to write about them because I went through a process of being initially aware of these principles to practicing them [...]

Song of the Week: “Sweeter” by Kim Burrell

The Earthquake Factor

I’m sure you’ve heard by now (if you didn’t experience it for yourself) that there was a 5.8 earthquake on Tuesday in Mineral, Virginia that was felt along the East Coast.  Its effects reached from North Carolina all the way up to Canada. When the earthquake hit,

Beyonce I Was Here

Song of the Week: “I Was Here” by Beyonce

This week’s song is special to me because it speaks my truth.  It’s kind of a follow up to last week’s song “Hear My Call” by Jill Scott.  I shared that song because I have definitely been where Jill Scott was in that song.  More times than I’d like to admit, I have cried out [...]

Jill Scott Album

Song of the Week: “Hear My Call” by Jill Scott

At first listen, this song is almost the total opposite of what I usually post here.  Normally I post upbeat, uplifting songs with the intention of igniting and sustaining a positive mindset in myself and my readers. Well the truth is, sometimes before you can be uplifted, you need to be
