“Your People, Your Team”

We’ve all heard about celebrities having a TEAM of people. This group of folks basically care for that person and make sure that their every need is being met. 

Have you ever thought about the impact & importance of people & their role(s) in your life? As I was reflecting over my life, I realized that I too have several TEAMS of people in my life who all play a significant role. Truth be told, we all do in some form or fashion. For example, there’s my Health and wellness Team that’s composed of different people. 

I have my Cardiologist, who cares for my Heart Health. She’s also focused on my mental health and nutritional needs as well. I also work with a Personal Trainer whose focus is on my physical and nutritional health, with a bit of mental and spiritual care sprinkled in. The blessing for me is that they both work together to develop the best plan for my specific needs.

I have an Awesome group of friends & acquaintances that I’m involved with and we complete marathons, exercise, volunteer, travel, support one another, serve as accountability partners, and break bread together. They have been a very important part of my Team for quite some time now, even if they didn’t know it.  

I’ve also worked with a Nutritionist, a Wellness Nurse, and a Psychologist, who have helped keep me on track with my nutrition, overall wellness, and mental health needs. Even though it’s been 15 years since I experienced a Heart attack, I realize the importance of maintaining my Health and wellness TEAM. And even though I don’t require the assistance of every one of these people on a consistent basis, it’s good to know that if/when I do need them, they are just a phone call away. 

What I didn’t realize was how impactful it is to have a Team of folks who walk with me on this journey. I also didn’t realize that I would even need to maintain this type of support system over the years. However, it’s good to know that my TEAM is always there to support and pick me up when I might be unable to sustain on my own.

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
