In a world more digitally connected than ever, loneliness is on the rise. Technology makes communication easy, but it cannot replace real, face-to-face connections. This post explores how to prioritize genuine relationships and embrace spontaneous moments that truly fill our lives.
This week, I released my new book and reflected on personal relationships, emphasizing self-worth. I’ve learned to prioritize those who genuinely value me over those who don’t. Understanding love languages is crucial for meaningful connections. It’s essential to release unsupportive relationships and trust God to bring the right people into your life.
The post discusses the importance of not just advising others on their dreams but actively supporting them in achieving those goals. It emphasizes the need for resources, mentorship, and emotional encouragement to help individuals navigate challenges. Collaboration over gatekeeping fosters success, highlighting community support’s vital role in overcoming obstacles.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were unwilling to compromise their beliefs to please Nebuchadnezzar. They were all on the same page in knowing what God required of them. They all knew the truth and […]
Well, it’s Valentine’s Day. We know every day is a day of love, but we do a little extra and feel the lovey-dovey emotions. Hahaha! Today, I wanted to pen an open letter to the future love of my life. I do not know where she is or what she is doing, but this is […]
One of the things I have been learning is to not allow myself to view those who God has placed in my life in this season through the lens of those who have hurt me in a previous season. It is easy to see people through the lens of hurt, trauma, etc. It is easy […]
As I reflect on the year 2022, I cannot help but be proud of myself for learning to never allow the absence of people to cause me to forfeit creating memorable moments, even if it was by myself. Moving from a different state to a new university as a transfer junior was challenging. I found […]
