I was a guest on the Highly Priced Podcast this week discussing mental health. Evelyn’s podcast is so genuine and she has a desire to encourage and motivate others to improve on themselves, their lives, and their futures. I was honored to be selected for this week’s episode and I am excited to be a…

Welcome to Growth
When people saw my posts stall out, I received messages asking if I was fine. This showed me that there are truly people out there that are listening. So I will say right now…this woman has NOT quit. I have not tired of giving. I have not slowed…I have been working on growth! I am…

The Waiting Room
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him— 1 Corinthians 2:9 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3 So much can happen…

Do you believe in miracles?
Some things just happen. There is no explanation…no logical reasoning. My journey networking with people in Nigeria has been quite miraculous. I know that it is hard to have faith when the deck is stacked against you. To feel that nothing can or will change. To assume that no one really and truly cares about…

Share This Everywhere!
Join me and share to all your socials! Let’s start a wave of prayer for Nigeria. 🇳🇬 For the country, for friends, for family…for the future!

The Inspiration
Where do you find inspiration? Is it in the world around you? In nature? In books or TV? Is it in the every day grind? The moment of reflection you find when the days seem to play on repeat? Do you find it in social media or the words that flow in conversations? Do you…

The Struggle
I have always been interested in psychology. Understanding the mind and how it works. Noticing behaviors and patterns. Identifying habits. Cause and effect. I have a natural gift for recognizing emotion. I am highly sensitive to feelings; even when someone tries to hide them. Because of my natural desire to help people and to understand…
-
The Communication
It’s a universal issue. A complication that can make or break even the very best of relationships. The smallest amount of disregard can cause an avalanche of assumption. Intentions become irrelevant in the aftermath. I’ve always been a voice of reason to friends around me. A confidant that cares. My gift of empathy gives me…
-
The Silence
There is something in the silence. The stillness, where your thoughts roam free. You close your eyes and hope to see…the value that it holds. The static, it fills up the space. Clocks lose time…their power erased. The busy world fades from its place…it ceases now to be. There’s something in the gravity. The pulling…
-
The Fire
Many things come to mind when one thinks of fire. It takes on so many meanings: literal, metaphorical, and spiritual. It can be alarming…dangerous…frightening…or it can be a symbol of strength… power…or even calm. It is the epitome of “extreme”….used to emphasize the most dramatic scenarios. However, there is more to a flame than ash…

The Misconception
I have learned a lot of things this year. While my knowledge continues to expand, there is one thing that has been a constant roadblock. Misconception. When people hear the story, their initial reaction tends to be the same. It does not matter if the person is American or Nigerian for that matter…the questions begin.…
-
The Surrender
There are no words to describe the events of this year. There are some things that happen that are impossible to explain. As humans, we are creatures of habit. We have established patterns and comfort zones. We see things from a lens of experience….an understanding only of what we have viewed…lessons we have learned…pain we…
-
The Renewal
There is a moment in a leap of faith where it all becomes overwhelming. Time speeds up and days fly by. The next thing you know you forget what month it is and how you arrived here at all. You start to tally all the moments that you’ve collected…try to make sense of how they…
-
The Unexpected
You are never really prepared for the unexpected. It comes like a storm on a sunny day. It blindsides you and makes you vulnerable. You can create a plan..you can research each detail..you can replay every angle in your mind..yet it finds you. I’ve learned a lot lately about the unexpected..how it can challenge your…

To be Noble
As today is Mother’s Day, I felt like addressing the women out there. Whether you are a mom or wife now or will be someday, every moment in your life is preparing you for all that is to come! A scripture from our church service really resonated with me and I wanted to share from…

The Moments
Funny thing..life. Yesterday, I was asked what I thought life was. I love deep questions like this because the answers can be varied and yet still be correct. Life is what you make it..right? So beautiful , that the question was not worded in the usual probing manner. It was not the ever popular..What is…

The Transformation
What is true transformation? Essentially, transformation is the shedding of the old and the taking on of a new form. The dictionary defines it as “a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance.” For those of you who know me, you will understand how close to my heart this subject lies. In the struggles…
-
The Connection
I’ve learned some valuable lessons about connections over the course of my life. I’ve always been in this space, watching and observing the people around me. I’ve always known I was different. I may have struggled with whether that was because I was special or if it was because I wasn’t enough. There is a…
-
The Movement
I received so much love for “The Call” that I felt moved to share more of this incredibly personal mission. If you’ve read my previous posts, then you know I don’t write anything without intention. What have you learned about me? Maybe, that I love hard? That I have a heart for justice? That I…

The Change
We have all dealt with changes in our lives. It can be a very emotionally challenging time because it requires processing and acceptance. Many are not willing to put forth the effort of adapting to the decisions that surround them. While there are some that easily run into the unknown with excitement, most are creatures…
-
The Call
I am going to take a moment to talk about a huge moment of my journey. While there is much more to the story…I will tell you what happened when I received His call. You never know what plan God has for you. You never know when the call will come. You have no idea…

What’s in a name?
At last you have found your heart. You have found a future and a purpose. I know how amazing that feels. The excitement is bubbling up and you feel the need to take action! Ride that wave! Let it fuel you. Push yourself to let your creative juices flow. The best time to pick a…

Letting Go
I thought I would take a break while many of you are brainstorming to say a few personal things about my journey. There are many who know only one or two sides of me. Those who really know me are few and far between. People have many layers and are careful which ones they expose.…
-
The Storm
So you’ve decided to jump! Welcome to the brainstorming phase! Depending on the person, this phase could be swift or could drag on for some time. Patience is imperative! When I speak of patience, I mean with yourself. Brainstorming is a process and the goal is personal. You just went through quite an emotional season…
-
The Hunger
I wanted to share the next step of what is experienced when you take a leap of faith. The hunger. People experience this in many ways. Some may find their hunger is for success and for some it may be money. Others may find their hunger in passion or even in fulfillment. For those who…

It’s All In Your Head
Ok..so I bet this heading surprised you a bit. If you are reading, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Let’s start with the most important step of beginning any new adventure. Where is your mind at? Having the right mindset is critical if you want to be successful. This step cannot be…

A New Beginning
I chose this title for my first post because we are all here for a similar goal. The roads that led us here may have been different. Some may have had a quick jog and others have hit obstacles and climbed mountains to reach this moment. Some of you may have tried many times and…
