When we make someone else responsible for how we respond, we’re out of control. Your supervisor, your family, your co-worker, your children’s mother/father, his/her family, the person in front of you in traffic, your ex, your landlord, or that stranger testing your character. When you allow growth you'll view them all the same. When you don't - it means one has more control over you than the other. How we think when we think we’re losing determines how long it will be before

Needs vs. Wants Yesterday was rough. My girls gave me hell. I had a migraine & found myself overwhelmed with all the things I had to do & all the things I wanted to do. I simply made a list of my wants & needs. I started crossing off what didn't add as much value to my life or wasn't in line with my goal. Even if I saw it as a "need" when I planned it. More movement leads to better sleep I finally got the opportunity to go for a late-night walk & bike ride. This allowed me to

I stepped into Lane Bryant & I had to go up another size. A size 28. Plus, I was tipping the scale at almost 400 lbs. I put all of the new shirts back & left. (No lie - I shed a few tears

Nipsey Hussle - An admirable, forward-thinking leader, investor & philanthropist. Nipsey had a very strategic plan. I appreciate how well he spoke his community's language & left a blueprint. As I reflect on my personal why's I often think of him & keep my painting in my creative workspace. I'm encouraged by the principles he preached but mostly inspired by his consistency & accomplishments. It's a reflection of how little time he wasted while he was here. Honoring his legacy

Just a quick reminder that it's still YOU vs. YOU 👉🏾Yesterday's old habits vs. The start of today's new habits. 👉🏾Yesterday's lack of preparation vs. The beginning of today's preparation. 👉🏾Yesterday's self-doubt vs. Today's new confidence. 👉🏾Yesterday's fear vs. Today's faith. All you have to do today is show up better than you did yesterday. And Repeat. Repeat. 🤜🏾🤛🏾 #simplifythejourney Place a ✅ if you plan to get in at least 20 mins of movement today. https://w

My oldest screamed all night for her dad. I remember crying like this for my dad at 6 yrs old. It was always cold and silent as I drifted off to sleep. I completely numbed myself. I tried my best to place myself in her shoes & comfort her. But it went on for hours and she almost had an asthma attack. I was so exhausted and short-tempered. I knew the aftereffects of her tears, lack of sleep & pain would carry into today. @_happyasamother I have major mom guilt today. I woke up

Set out your workout clothes before bed. Set the alarm. Tell someone who will hold you accountable that you're going to work out in the morning. It's hard not to follow through when you're intentional. Alot of us have good intentions. But we can also make a habit of measuring how far we'll go based on "intent" vs. action. It sounds like common sense, but so many judge others based on execution & judge themselves based on intention. Results don't show up because we "mean well"
