When I finally made the decision to want more, I knew I had to change my position. I started praying about my dating life more purposefully. I began distancing myself from certain individuals that I knew wasn’t on the same page as me. Whew, let me tell yall, that was no easy task. I had developed friendships in the midst of my dating life that I thought were important to me. So denying myself and keeping my thoughts together deemed a bigger challenge than I thought. This is important to recognize. A lot of times we develop these situationships or these comfortable relationships in the midst of our relations. Peep what I said folks. We develop MORE than what was ever supposed to be. Whether you feel like it’s his or her fault, or that someone led you on, we have to take accountability for ourselves. I had to take accountability for my part in why I wasn’t getting more from the guys I entertained. I had to change the way I thought of love, relationships, male companions, and re-evaluate what was important to me going forward.
Over the course of a year life has changed for many of us – if not all. Many have had a loss of income, loss of childcare, loss of a loved one, and loss of ourselves. We are trying to hold something together but we have no clue what it is that we are holding […]
We made it!!!! We have made it through 2019 and now entering a new decade. I can’t even begin to list all of changes I’ve gone through over the last 10 years. My Spiritual Journey is not coming to an end. It’s an everlasting, growing relationship that I will continue to cultivate by giving my […]
Whew! I’m trying to write this while my 5 month old screams at the top of her lungs. If any of my female readers are in need of some encouragement – go follow @hertrueworth on IG. It’s my new find and it’s pure gold. I’ll be using a few of their posts on here as […]
I’m stuck y’all. The one thing that is on my mind is also the one thing God has told me not to write about at this time. So….I’m stuck. Therefore, I’ll keep this short and simple. I’m asking God to come through for me in a big way this week. There’s a job that I […]
Lately I’ve been battling with the feeling of me not doing enough. I’m not doing enough to bring in money financially. I’m not doing enough to grow my blog. I’m not doing enough to monetize the blog. I’m not doing enough blah blah blah. It’s like…despite all of my efforts, it’s never enough. With the […]
At 29 years of age I have acquired 3 things: a fiancé, a baby, and debt lol. I was speaking to my cousin a few days ago and I told her that although I am in a complete state of the unknown, I was at peace because I felt like I’m right where I need […]
“You won’t settle.” Period. These were the words spoken to me by my fiancé when I embarked on this journey. He knew how unhappy I had been with how things were going. He also knew that I was wanting a change in a MAJOR way after having our daughter. So when he told me this […]
Yo, where are my Life Is Such accountability partners? Y’all are slacking! Lol no but really, I had to check myself just now. I did what any good journaler (yes, this is a total made up word) would do – I went back and re-read a few posts. And in those posts a reminder smacked […]
I woke up this morning in pain. I woke up yesterday in pain. Between a stomach bug/acid reflux and a terrible migraine in these past couple of days, I am exhausted. I was under so much stress a couple of weeks ago that my milk supply (I breastfeed) dropped dramatically. To be real, I didn’t […]
