Have you ever heard of the saying “As you think, so shall you be”? Well, the world-renowned Wayne Dyer lives by this saying. By the end of this transformative article, one should be inspired to live by it as well. Many reach a point in their lives where they begin to desire different than the same ole same ole or become frustrated with the trajectory of one’s life not shifting directions. Most people do not realize reality has absolutely zero to do with what they are experiencing, but ALL to do with the thoughts they allow to accompany their mind tell them they are experiencing.

Becoming a woman of strength was my way of hiding the battle wounds that I’ve encountered over the years. Being told for so long that you’ll never succeed at anything can cause fear of not being accepted. I’ve received painful words and witnessed harsh incidents by those I believed would never tarnish my feelings. They say, “Sticks and Stones may break your bones, and words will never hurt you.” Well, that old meme is a big fib. I’ve managed to coat most of my feelings through the years by sheltering myself and never expressing the pain I felt inside. God places us all on assignment in life, and with that blueprint, it can sometimes be very painful. I’ve submitted to mines after losing my parents and my 27-year-old son, all…

As I walked in the snow, looking off into the distance. Hearing the cars swiftly roar down the road. I noticed no one looking but in one direction. I said to myself at that moment, “I will not let this happen to me again.” Why did I answer that call from that person? Why did I decide to move? Let me set a stage for you. I left my family because of a guy, and I was in a city with no job, no family, or friends. Even though I am not in that situation, I still worry about things that “may” happen. It had me asking myself, what did I do? I would often break down over this worry because I felt like I was the only person experiencing…

When you have a call on your life, the enemy will try and do all he can to stop it. The bible says, “That the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy.” I could have allowed him to destroy me, killing my vision and faith by stealing my authority, but I chose to fight. I was a fighter as a younger girl, engaging in physical altercations with many individuals. As I became older and wiser, I learned to do my fighting in prayer. I have been through many obstacles in my life, and the enemy has tried to prevent me from speaking by placing fear over me. I was afraid to share my truth by using my voice to speak on live broadcasts, Via social media. The funny part is,…

The fall of 2019 is when I started my journey as a public health professional. To be completely honest, I wasn’t quite sure how to define it nor approach it with the interests I had in mind. I had limited myself to what public health truly is. As I continued my MPH at Eastern Virginia Medical School, it wasn’t long before I could finally explain what public health means to me. • Public health to me is recognition.• Public health to me is healing. Public health to me is growth.• Public health to me is making a difference in a world that is ever-evolving.• Public health is ME. Many may dismiss the thought that their daily routines are a part of public health. Waking up, brushing your teeth, showering, going…

My drive to find a better way in life was the goal, and I have successfully landed on it as of today. I was married for sixteen years and then got divorced. I lost everything in my possession, including my house and cars, along with everything else that made my life complete. I move to Atlanta, Georgia, with my brother because I had nothing and nowhere to stay. It was the most challenging time in my life and a predicament that I never experienced since an upper-middle-class family raised me. I was never without, so this situation was lying heavy on me. Since I chose to make an unhealthy decision in my life, and these were the circumstances, my choices were zero. While living in Atlanta, my moments alone were…

Have you ever wondered if you were ever going to receive what you have been asking for? Have you ever wondered when you were going to receive it? Have you ever wondered if you were asking for those things in the proper manner? Well, let’s talk about it. Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” You asked for it, right? No worries! God is all-seeing and all-knowing; surely, he knows what you are wondering. He can turn that wondering into manifestations. Most of us have experienced this, and there are countless testimonies to prove that you, too, are next to receive what you have been asking for if you would believe and have faith.…

As the only girl, Kimberly Griffin did what any daughter would do when it pertained to her parents getting older and needing her assistance; she stepped up to the plate. At the time her parents resided in New York, and she had since relocated to Virginia some years earlier. It was a struggle for her early on, but she found her footing when we met in February 2011. The relationship moved pretty fast, and before you knew it, we were living and building a life together because we both were at an age where the games were far behind, so we respected what was needed from each other. Like any relationship, we had our ups and downs, but we stood firm and made sure we took care of our necessities…
