Reminders from God’s Calendar

Monday night before bed, I reviewed my monthly goals. Goals are easier to chew when you take a bite each day. Say no to overindulgence, my friends. I said to myself, “When I wake up, I’m going to do this, this and this.” Gratefully, the sun rose and I had another chance to strive towards […]

Dreams and Nightmares

As little kids, we are always encouraged to dream. In fact, to DREAM BIG. Before we are old enough to think for ourselves, we are asked the famous childhood question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Most children answer this question based off of occupations they’ve seen glorified — teacher, firefighter, […]

The Spirit Virus

What ever happened to soul food? I’m not talking about the collard greens, the cornbread, the yams, or the dressing.

Our attitudes being as tasteless […]

Flower Gardens in My Heart

As I reflect on the month of February, it’s been a great one. The month started with intense workouts in the training facility I consistently go to.

Today in my daily meditation, I was reminded of times when I made really bad decisions, led with my emotions or simply just didn’t get it right. It […]

Time 

We act like we have time. Well, we do. Just not to waste. Some historians say time is an illusion, and it really doesn’t exist. I haven’t completed any detailed research to affirm or disagree. I’m simply stating a point of view. The intended point is what are we spending our time on? Is it […]

It’s a Lifestyle

I use to make excuses for my lack of discipline in the gym. I would always say “I do not have time.” or “It does not make a significant difference.”, or “I am already fine.” haha (Don’t judge me). I would tell myself walking to class is my work out or all the ripping and […]
