  Hey loves,  I recently read the book, Break Up With What Broke You: How God Redeems and Rewrites Your Story. I am now climbing out of a season that felt like it was meant to break me. The battlefield of the mind is a real thing and keep me in prayer, it still is a very much a real thing. In this book, she shared about letting go of shame and breaking up with what broke you. I could relate to the author Christian Bevere so much. The book had me feeling so FREE that I still think about parts that I've read. It had me thinking how the enemy loves to silence God's people with shame when Christ died for our shame.  Social media is so wild to me because we have people who shame people all the time. Shame them for their past. Shame them for their mistakes and mishaps. Shame and expose people by using their posts and ridiculing them. People who have callings in God are afraid to step into their purpose and full potential because they feel defined by their past mistakes, failures, or

  Hey Loves, It's been a while since I've blogged and I want to share that a lot has transpired in over a year from dating to working in the mental health field. It has been filled with ups and downs. I've been heartbroken, lost,  confused, identity crisis and all but I declared over my life that I'm going from mourning to rejoicing and dancing and receiving my beauty for ashes/double portion for my former shame.  I have to constantly remind myself with my mental health diagnosis that there is no shame in having a mental illness, especially when you are reminded that people walked out of your life or made fun of you for having a diagnosis or said cruel things to you concerning it. I know because of that I felt rejected, abandoned and alone and check myself in these areas to really work on  affirming myself daily, reminding myself who I belong to and tell myself I am a Child of the Most High God.  And it just really sat in my spirit after praying with a friend and she re

It's been a while since I've blogged but I wanted to share something that was heavy on my heart, and that is being anxious about the new year! I know for me it hits home to me as early as my childhood. I would always get anxious about the upcoming new year. Coming from a big family on both sides, we dealt with cumulative deaths. So every year, I feared what the new year would bring, as far as, deaths and losses, whether it be family or friends. I noticed this anxiety was becoming a bit dangerous and unhealthy for me over the years. I haven't arrived yet. Matter of fact, I see a trend on TikTok that says, "Lord, is the new year gonna be a year of triumphs and successes, or a year of trial, tribulations, and lessons?" Even though I giggled about it when I saw the trend at first but then I realized like, "wow, I hope for the better in the new year and not for the trials etc. because 2021 to the beginn

     photo cred: healthyplace.com Hey Loves,     It's been a few months since I've blogged and so much has transpired. Time literally waits for no one and flies by so fast. But by the Grace of God, I am able to say that this year so far has been really good for me and I'm grateful. I want to share something on my heart and that is,  "I'm embarrassed of my loved one with mental illness." The reason why I'm blogging on this topic is because it relates to so many but they are afraid to admit that they are embarrassed of their loved one with mental illness. I want to let you know that you are not alone in how you feel or how you've felt. Because honestly, I've been there... Growing up, I had a close loved one with Bipolar Disorder and as a kid, I was embarrassed of that person. I didn't understand their behavior or mood swings. And at that time as a kid, I didn't even want to understand their behavior, I never wanted to be in their shoes. Until

  Graduated Saturday April 30, 2022 Hey Loves, It's been a moment since I've blogged but so much has happened since I've graduated that it's crazy! But in a good sense type of crazy..like crazy favor, blessings and faithfulness type of deal. God has been opening so many doors for me and literally has been blowing my mind. For those who keep up with my blog, knows that I went through one of the most darkest seasons of my life in 2021 and it carried over to the New Year where I thought I was going to have to drop the Winter Semester and finish my final semester at another time. I was adjusting to new medications for my mental health around January and February this year. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster but it was by the Grace of God that I was able to take on and finish my final semester at Eastern Michigan University with a 4.0 GPA and cumulatively in my undergrad curriculum a 3.47 GPA. I'm extremely thankful for my intercessors and support system who were th

  Recent Headshot of me  Hey Loves,     I was thinking of you tonight. I feel this so heavy on me and I wanted to make sure I didn't wait to write this blogpost for another day but to do it right now. I was chatting with God about a transition I am going to make but I wanted Him to be the head, center and end of it all. I want to make sure I come to God to fill every single void area of my life and make sure it's all Him.  During the middle of the prayer, He inspired me to write this post about constantly coming up empty. So here I am...     Have you found yourself knowingly or unknowingly putting your faith in other things rather than God? It can be your career, relationship/status, friendships, family, degrees, money in the bank account, and any other thing that makes you feel complete in some sense?! But for some of you, even though you may have some of these things, your heart still isn't content. You are constantly searching high and low as why you keep coming up empty

  Photo credit: VeryWell Mind Hey Loves, First, Happy NEW Year! lol It's been a while since I've blogged. The last time I blogged, I wrote about "If you love me, don't say the word "CRAZY"! I shared in that blogpost intimate experiences of me experiencing Bipolar Disorder with Psychosis (out of touch with reality). I am glad that it touched and informed those who read it but I felt I should wait and share those details in my bipolar memoir in the near future. So instead, I thought I would share more on why I checked myself in... In 2021, I went through many losses and changes. Even with making changes to my health, eating right and exercising felt great and was glad to get some things in order but there were a lot of stressors that caused my mental health to turn for the worst. I experienced anxiety to the extreme. With both conditions, Bipolar Disorder and PCOS, you can experience severe anxiety and depression. It was so hard to know which one was working ag
