New Year, New Goals! #2020

Happy New Year Loves! I'm sorry that it has been a while since I've last blogged on here about the release of my first NEW book, "All That Glitters Ain't Gold"! I'm so excited that I birthed that baby last year, had a successful book signing and altogether have sold and given away over 100 books! God is so faithful! And I'm currently working on book #2 which I will be discussing my journey with mental illness and been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I will keep you all updated about that release as well! Right now it is tentatively should be released in 2021 but we will see! :) Keep me in your prayers!

So, last year during the beginning of the year I blogged about breaking bad habits and one of the bad habits that I mentioned was my food addiction. I talked about how I was going to exercise and eat healthier. Honestly, I wasn't that consistent in doing that, but it was my goal. With that goal in mind, I was able to get a workout partner and lose almost 20lbs from my highest weight ever from back in 2015 which was 224 lbs on the doctor scale. This year, I put in place a strategy that will help me to lose more weight and to be more consistent with diet and exercise and I included GOD in my plans. I'm currently doing a 30-day weight loss bible study plan, in which I am really renewing my mind about food and having boundaries when it comes to overindulging. I really have been transforming my thinking and getting educated about my hormonal imbalance PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Now, due to educating myself about it, I found that I was doing it all wrong. I was eating wrong and working out wrong which made it a struggle to lose weight, but now I have a plan and it is currently in place. I will keep you posted on my PCOS, weight loss journey and share what worked and didn't work on another blog post. The difference between this year and last year's goals is that I got educated and now I have a plan that so far WORKS for me! So, let me ask you this, what are your goals for 2020? Do you have a plan? Did you write the vision and make it plain? If not, it's time to make it happen!

I want to encourage you with a recap of 2019 of me writing my vision down on a poster board in November 2018 and how it all manifested in 2019. I was so shocked! I meditated on Matthew 6:33, Psalm 37:4 and James 4:2-3.

Vision board 2019

In 2019, I was believing to get into health and fitness in which I did and almost lost 20lbs from my heaviest weight ever. My curls started to pop because I used AS I AM curl products and my hair grew. I grew in confidence and definitely had a glow up. I found true happiness in Christ. I understood the power I carried like a woman. I traveled to Los Angeles and Orlando, Florida with my favorite cousins, in which Walt Disney World was on my vision board and I went. I received an unexpected lump some of money. I was able to see a dermatologist to help me get ageless skin. I tried something new as far as dating after an 8 year hiatus. I bought a passport. And I published my very first book "All That Glitters Ain't Gold" in which you can purchase on Amazon by clicking on this link here https://www.amazon.com/All-That-Glitters-Aint-Gold/dp/1794446982/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=all+that+glitters+aint+gold&qid=1579241291&sr=8-1

And everything I put on my vision board it manifested. GLORY BE TO GOD!

Pics of my manifestation from 2019

These are just the highlights of my 2019 but for 2020 I'm coming with a vengeance. I'm expecting more and GREATER! 2019 manifestations increased my faith. I can't wait to see what's in store for this year, but I'm resting in the unknown and putting full trust and faith in CHRIST!

So I want to encourage you to speak and write what you want to manifest in 2020 and keep God first and let him manifest that thang! lol Trust Him with your whole life and plans. He never fails.

My Story:Living with a Mental Illness

Hello lovelies!! Am I the only one that didn't find out that May is mental health awareness month until towards the end?! When I saw it posted on a girl page, I immediately thought I have to blog my story and tell my readers that I've battled living with a mental illness. Since I found out maybe a couple of weeks ago about it being mental health awareness month, I was so full of different emotions, for this is still a sensitive area for me. Disclaimer: I am not an expert, I do not have all the answers concerning mental illness; I always advise doing your own research. However, I will share my experiences and what it was like living with a mental illness and being a Christian. Any negative comments will be deleted. There is someone out there looking for a story of hope and your remarks can make a person feel rejected and want to be isolated. I'm an aspiring mental health advocate and my hope is to bring people to Jesus. Few facts from National Alliance on Mental

"Why I Chose to Get My Associates Degree Instead of my Bachelors this Year?"

Graduation Day Saturday, May 6, 2017 Hello loves! I'm so excited to announce that I graduated from Schoolcraft College with my Associates Degree in Communications with a 3.81 average!!!!! :) God is so faithful!!! It was nothing but God that pulled me through! I am so ever grateful for the love and support from family and friends that came through for me by their encouragement, prayers, and financially, as a gift for graduation...it means a ton to me (kisses and hugs to all of you). Before and after I graduated, I got asked a lot by people, family and friends, "what's next"? But before I get into that, I want to answer the question that's in the title of this blog-post! I know some may have wondered, that are my Facebook friends like, "Didn't she used to go to Wayne State? What happened?" Well, yes I did go to Wayne State University in Detroit, Mi and a lot happened. After having two nervous break downs within 8 months apar

7 years since my last hospitalization in psychiatric care

Hey Loves, In the month of July, I shared on my Social Media my experiences with Bipolar and Dating, Mental Health and Education, and Mental Health and Ministry. I did Instastory posts on Instagram @sheree.p.braswell sharing my journey because I am not ready to blog or do a Youtube video fully about it but prayerfully one day I will. But I did want to write a blogpost about how it's been 7 years since my last hospitalization in psychiatric care! I've had four hospitalizations and ever since my last one in 2014, I realized that something was truly wrong with me that I had no control over. That I did have a mental illness and I needed to take care of my mental health. I've learned taking care of your mental health should be a priority just like your physical health should be and that it is just as important. I had to learn there is no shame in having a mental illness and I had to unlearn the myths and let go of the stigma around it. I had my ideas about mental illne

7 years of being Single and What I’ve Learned....

Photo cred: Hill Media Group Hey lovelies! Happy New Year! So much has happened since I’ve last blogged on here. I received a grant from Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority to advance my mental health advocacy, did a mental health first aid training for adults at my church, volunteered at Children’s Hospital with the hematology and oncology department, got accepted to Madonna University for my bachelors. Now i am currently working on a self esteem short book for young women. These past 7 months have been a time of pruning, getting closer to the Lord and strategizing. There were definitely some up and down moments but I’m so glad i made it!! Now that i updated you, the Lord really laid on my heart to blog before Valentine’s Day things I’ve learned in my 7 year time of being single. By the way I love how 7 is for completion! Woohoo ! So here it go: Timing is everything . I learned that at times I wanted a relationship so badly but God was showing me things about m

Be Thankful!

Ephesians 5:20 And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. NLT. Today, may be the day where you spend time with your close relatives, chowing down on some delicious holiday cooking, and plus more! However, have you sat down and spoke to the Lord letting him know all the things you are thankful for--- at all times? The spirit of Thanksgiving should never come from in due season or in certain circumstances but should be given at all times. Let your "thanks and giving" not be seasonal but at all times! For it says in his Word, Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT (Sad but true at times) Sadly, around the holiday season some give thanks to God on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter and then it's back to them being rooted in their own selfish motives, ambitions and dreams. For some, it may be a time where they sit and mourn
