You are NOT in control!

We are NOT in control of everything that LIFE presents to us!  However, we CAN control how we act &/or react to those situations that are placed in our paths. We can either choose to get upset, sulk, & stay in that funk, or we can choose to use that same energy we spend on worrying & being upset, & give it over to God to handle.

I was presented with an issue this week that would have had me stressed out the entire week... once upon a time. It seemed that everything I tried & every corner that I turned, presented a dead end for me. What I had to remember once again... was that I was NOT in control!! 

I was struggling to figure it out on my own but once I came to my senses & decided to give it to God, that's when everything started falling in place.šŸ¤·šŸ¾ God was just waiting for me to stop being a 'control freak' so that He could work it out for me.šŸ¤¦šŸ¾šŸ˜#LessonLearned

Thank you for the reminder that my Response is responsibility. WWJD? What would JESUS DošŸ˜Š? Give control to OUR FATHER.

The Struggle IS REAL!!

ā€œMy struggle IS real & itā€™s been an emotional roller coaster at times.ā€ When I was hosting, ā€˜The Beat Goes Onā€™ radio show from 2014-2018, I would often reference, ā€˜The Struggle being REALā€™ in reference to my weight and physical health. What I didnā€™t realize at the time was that those challenges didnā€™t deal with my physical health , like I thought .  Instead, I finally had an epiphany & realized that the ā€˜ Struggle ā€™ 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, Iā€™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 ā€˜put downsā€™, & the ugly criticisms that oftentimes ran amu...

UV Safety

  July is UV safety awareness month. Itā€™s also one of the hottest summer months when people spend lots of time outside in the beautiful sunny weather. This is the season when weā€™re enjoying the water & amusement parks, outside music festivals & lots of other summertime  outdoorsy  activities. With that said, itā€™s vitally important for us to stay hydrated and to protect our skin from the UV rays of the sun. My skin is  SUPER   sensitive, and I canā€™t use  just anything  on my skin. Iā€™m what you would refer to as being,  chemically  sensitive . Several years ago,  when I was uninformed about protecting myself from the sunā€™s rays,  I used a popular name brand product from a well-known company thatā€™s been around for years. The product promised to not only protect my skin from sun exposure but also repel insects as well. I figured since it was a bright, clear & crisp October day where the sun was peeking through but not beamin...

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 youā€™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 YOUā€¦ not because of your outward beauty but because of the beauty that you feel resonating from within.  OH! You donā€™t remember the last time?? Is it because those are not things that youā€™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, ā€œI am so FATā€¦ā€; ā€œIā€™m unhealthyā€œ; ā€œI am not worthyā€; ā€œIā€™m so slowā€; ā€œI am not as smart asā€¦ā€; ā€œIā€™m certainly not qualified toā€¦ā€; ...
