TRANSITIONS

Last year on JAN the 19th my Dad Transitioned from this life. As a result of his transitioning, it forced a lot of our family dynamics to change. Today is the day that the Presidential transition takes place. The President-elect of the US will take over the administration from the incumbent president, signifying a transfer of power. Whenever this happens, there are always changes made by the President elect that we must adapt to. When we think about Transitional words or phrases, we know that they can be used to clarify the relationship between sentences. They often help one sentence move, or flow smoothly into another sentence. 

In reference to my examples of Transitions, they all have one thing in common…MOVEMENT.

When I did a search for the word ‘Transition’, it was defined as a Movement, Passage, or Change from One Position to Another. This made me reflect on different transitional moments in my life and how there were times when I had to move even when I did not want or choose to. Sometimes I was forced to move. However, I realized that with each move, it brought about different changes, challenges and sometimes even new opportunities that I would never have experienced had I not moved. I’ve learned over the years that without there being constant moments of transition in my life, I remain stagnant. Therefore, I’ve come to realize that no matter how challenging it may be & no matter how comfortable I am with where I am, without movement I don’t grow.

Life is truly full of so many changes. Places we live, work, friends and family passing on, friends and family moving in and out of our lives, néw national leaders, new church leaders, new neighbors, new health problems to name a few. As you mentioned, some in our control and some not. As our Father knows, to those who believe in Him and the inerrant word of God, we place our faith in Him that it will all work together for the good. Doesn’t mean it will be easy. No matter the political side of aisle you fall on, we are called to pray for our leaders in power. We don’t know what 2021 holds for our country. We didn’t know last year at this time that in 2 months we wud all go into quarantine. Thank God for your blessings and pray for those less fortunate than you.

Than you so much for this message!! Life is about “transitioning “ on up to that final transition. One of my favorite songs is “Everything Must Change...Nothing Stays the Same”. Lord I am so happy about some of those changes...those transitions!! I am a better person for it! Thanks Rolanda for keeping it real!!!!

The Struggle IS REAL!!

“My struggle IS real & it’s been an emotional roller coaster at times.” When I was hosting, ‘The Beat Goes On’ radio show from 2014-2018, I would often reference, ‘The Struggle being REAL’ in reference to my weight and physical health. What I didn’t realize at the time was that those challenges didn’t deal with my physical health , like I thought .  Instead, I finally had an epiphany & realized that the ‘ Struggle ’ I often spoke of, had more to do with my Mental Health than it did anything else! Conversations about Mental Health are not often referenced in a positive light, which is why many people have a hard time seeking the needed help to maintain a healthy mental balance in life . Along my journey, I’ve struggled with battles that would plague my mind about my health and well-being. I would accept, receive and believe all the negative & judgmental thoughts, the scrutiny, the demeaning words, the ‘put downs’, & the ugly criticisms that oftentimes ran amuck i

Who do YOU say, "I AM"?

When was the last time that you loved on yourself? When was the last time that you told yourself how  beautiful you are; the last time that you praised yourself for the talents that you’ve been blessed with; the last time that you acknowledged your creativity; the last time that you patted yourself on the back for something great that you did; the last time that you looked in the mirror and fell in love with YOU… not because of your outward beauty but because of the beauty that you feel resonating from within.  OH! You don’t remember the last time?? Is it because those are not things that you’re in the habit of saying to or about yourself? Are you instead, in the habit of acknowledging all of your faults, your mistakes, your shortcomings, your insecurities, the problems in your life? Do you tend to beat yourself down and say demeaning things like, “I am so FAT…”; “I’m unhealthy“; “I am not worthy”; “I’m so slow”; “I am not as smart as…”; “I’m certainly not qualified to…”; "I a

What doesn’t kill us makes us STRONGER!!

Like so many of us in life, we've experienced some type of adversity. It's not fun and we don't like it, but as we experience adversity, we're also experiencing growth. That might sound like an oxymoron but think about it. Think of a time where you fought and struggled so hard and thought that you would NEVER pull through. A time when you were in so much pain, (mentally & physically) that it was unbearable. It could have been a struggle in your health, your finances, your family, and even your faith.  Situations in life sometimes take us through a gamut of dramatic emotions and leave us feeling like we're at our lowest point. It's even difficult sometimes to see how we can pull ourselves out of certain circumstances. Oftentimes we feel like we're not going to make it. We might have gained some bumps and scrapes and battle scars in the process, but inevitably, we often pull through those tough times and on the other side of the adversity... we've emer
