On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.

These are my confessions 27:58

3y ago27:58

27:58

Because you’re a Christian, you’re made to feel that your decisions are to be perfect. We were all born into sin, so it’s only natural that we make mistakes. Gods grace is sufficient and shouldn’t be taken for granted but please allow me to grow. I don’t think I’m better than you, I simply want more for myself and my children. I shouldn’t have to c…

How do you prepare for something you’re not ready for? Being a parent is one of the most rewarding tasks I’ve ever had but it also has its challenges. I learn new ways to parent everyday.

I call you Friend 31:37

3+ y ago31:37

31:37

The word Friend, is used so loosely. To be honest, many of us do not know what it means to be a friend, simply because we’ve never had one. Our friendships deserve to be watered so that they can grow just like our relationships. Communication is just as important like any other relationship. The time that you’ve known a person doesn’t determine the…

What does love look like 22:54

3+ y ago22:54

22:54

For so long, I’ve compared my situation to someone else’s. I’ve allowed social media, family & friends, even my enemies to determine what I wanted for myself. It’s not perfect but it’s still love to me. It’s never too late to change, to grow & to adapt. As a single woman, I’m still figuring this out one day at a time.…

Being Single is hard but settling is harder 32:18

3+ y ago32:18

32:18

I’ll never find the perfect man and I’m ok with that, but I refuse to settle. There are things that I desire in a man or in a relationship that I deserve. When you know better, you do better. Dating has gotten so much harder because nobody dates to marry, everyone wants to just see what happens. When you fail to plan or come to a mutual agreement o…

39:54

For many people, 2020 was not a good year and they want nothing more than to start the New Year off with as much peace and happiness as they can. For me and my household, 2020 has blessed us in so many ways. To be honest it just depends on the lenses in which you are looking from. Thank you for your continued support. It’s not how you start but how…

Let’s be honest, we all have had other plans for ourselves when we graduated high school. We had life planned out but what do you do when life happens? Becoming a mother before you’re ready & that career you picked just didn’t sit well with your spirit. It’s never too late to change the plan. There is still time, even on the other side of 40.

He adopted a role called being a father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a protector. Tom Wolfe.

We cannot turn on the news without being reminded that even though slavery ended, African Americans are still not being seen as equals.

Being single today is definitely hard but when I look back on the way I lose focus and how the depression sets in, I am stronger. Take a look from “what is this teaching me” and not “why is this happening to me”.
