Seeing Growth Is Not An Option, It Is Necessary
Affirmations? Yeah, OK I do like the idea of affirmations and I do use them often, especially when I need to talk myself off of a ledge. In some cases, they are not enough…they are too soft and gentle. They can be too subtle and quiet. There are times I need to shout myself into submission. I need to know just how much I really mean that thang! If you are someone who wants more…

Use Me How’s It Growing? Using me is fine, just don’t make the mistake if abusing or misusing me. Life is full of ups and downs, but we must remember that the downs even have a high point.

Self talk…For Real You can either produce positive or negative self talk…periodttttt. That negative self talk will tear you down, make you feel less than human. Why would you want to sit around and talk sh*t to yourself? Honestly, when I am talking to myself in a negative tone, it feels like bullying.

Yes, I talk to myself! It is true! I do, even more so since the pandemic. One thing that I have learned in all this chatter is that the way that I talk to myself is actually the way I see myself.

I found myself looking out the window and realized that it’s been a while since I have written anything about myself and that is probably because I know that I have fallen short in a few areas, but I have become accustomed to being perfectly imperfect. This is one of the reasons why I speak on faults that I see in myself to get my point across and then try to keep it moving so…

The temporary feelings that we get when we do these things soon fade when reality sets in and we realize that we could not afford the things that we…

We would be living in a world full of silence if children didn’t believe that the sounds coming from their mouths made sense and that they could communicate with others by using these sounds to get their point across. What’s even more amazing is that these same children believed that they could communicate even further by learning to understand the sounds that come from other children and adults. I’m glad we all believed enough in…

Love I often seek to have known Love oh how I long to be loved by you Looking in all the wrong places Neither security nor satisfaction ever found Avoid I’ve often seemed leveled to the ground As I looked into the mirror Began to believe in the inner woman God destined me to become.

We’ve all had times that we had to ask the questions “Where did that come from?” and “How did we get to this point?” Some of the time it is because of when we automatically respond to things by using our natural reflexes.
