The Gift of Voice

Tomorrow is Christmas and I’ve decided that my true love is ME!

Today I gift myself with the gift of voice!

I will no longer be muted by my fears and insecurities.

I replace self-doubt with self – confidence.

When I hear, “Girl you can’t do this because you’re not them.” I’ll say, “I can and will do it because it is what I was created and graced to do.”

From this day forward, I acknowledge that my voice matters, my words break chains, and every word I don’t speak, hinders the growth of another.

Changing from the inside out

Ready for change? It all begins with you! Believe it or not, everything you need to become all that you desire to be is ALREADY WITHIN YOU!

There was a time when I didn’t have the confidence to post a photo of myself. Grief Recovery helped me understand why. I didn’t like my photos because I didn’t like myself. I didn’t like myself because I didn’t know myself. I knew what others wanted me to be but I had no idea who or what I was purposefully designed and created to be. As a result I suffered from a severe case of comparisonitis that kept me in hiding for the majority of my young and adult life.

I’ve done my work and now I stay facebook ready!

Enough about me, I am now trained and ready to help YOU! The process that brought me freedom is called Grief Recovery and it is readily available to you. Just say the word, and we’ll get to work.

You know YOU MATTER RIGHT? If you don’t, that’s ok, let’s work together to better understand your why. I’ll stand with you and believe it for you until you’re in a place where you can believe it for yourself!

Better is waiting for you! All you have to do is show up!

I believe in you and I’m already proud of you!

Happy Monday

Soccer Mom 101

Things I’ve learned about surviving as a Soccer mom.

1) Your goal is to be cool not cute! Step out in this heat with a full face if you want to, we’ll standby and watch it all melt or smear! The pro soccer mom’s may can do both but as a beginner, you’re goal is to not pass out as you introduce your body to this heat index of 100,000!

2) Long hair is not an option! Short wigs, ponytails, and messy buns only!! That stuff will either swell or stick!

3) You’ll need an umbrella and a 4 gallon jug of ICED water for YOU & YOUR BABY! You should barely be able to lift it, should have to hold it with both hands and lean back a bit in order to drink it (see demonstration in pic below). If there’s no lean, your jug is too small!

Not venting, just sharing with hopes of helping a future soccer mom out!

A Cup of Strength

I know, I know, you’re a tired hard working Momma! Daddy works a lot and the kids are bouncing off the walls. BUT Sometimes you just have to throw on your chucks and play ball!! A Momma’s got to do what she’s got to do! You’re stronger than you think! #ThePowerOfMom #You’veGotThis

That’s the power of a mom!  I had a long day, I have a million things to do, but he deserved those two hours of my time and that big smile on his face was totally worth it .. I can rest later!!! 

A Cup of Courage!

I’ve ALWAYS had a fear of public speaking! I consider myself a “Behind The Scenes” type chick! I mean, hey, SOMEONE has to do it. Most people want to be out front, not me, I’m like a minion I love to serve and I’m faithful to my villain! I’m REAL OK with letting whomever I serve be the main attraction, the star, while I work in the shadows making sure everything is in order so THEY shine!!!

This plan has kept me for years, I’m personal assistant to at least four different people. The people I serve love me and I’m happy to lighten their load. I was comfortable, content in my current state.

THEN, God placed it on our hearts to relocate to a new church in a new city!  My new Pastor saw something in me that I didn’t even see. HE ASKED ME TO GET UP IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND SPEAK!!!  I wanted to tell my pastor NO, but me being the minion that I am, I would NEVER let my leader down, if that’s what he needed from me, I had to figure out how to make it work!

So I read a few articles about public speaking, wrote out a few speeches, practiced and before I knew it, it was time to go on stage . My legs were trembling, my heart was racing, I honestly think I had a small anxiety attack, but I had to complete my mission. At that point I just said to myself, SELF, “you’ve prepared, you’ve practiced, YOU’VE GOT THIS!”  And I just did it!!! I got the mic and did my thing! When it was over, I exhaled and thought, oh my goodness, I did it! I didn’t freeze, I didn’t suck .. I’d faced my worst fear and I NAILED IT!

Today, I want you to know that sometimes you have to do it even when you’re afraid! Add this cup of courage to your life’s mix and DO IT! I promise when you face your fear you’ll be proud that you did! Remember, “You’ve Practiced, You’ve Prepared, YOU’VE GOT THIS!”

I dedicate this post to my Pastors. Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone towards greatness!

I DID IT!!!!!!!
