Grace 4 Her

Happy New Year World! Listen, I know you already have your new year's resolutions, vision boards, and goals written down, and you're ready to beast mode 2023. But I want to remind you to give yourself grace and go at your own pace because an empire built on a faulty foundation, will not sustain the storms of life. 

Hello World! It's been a minute and I know it appears as if I left or good, but I haven't. I just went on a much-needed break I didn't know I needed until it happened, lol. Anyway, I wanted to come back before 2022 ended to remind you all to celebrate your wins and not compare yourself to other people's year-in-review. If you're here to listen to this episode, then you made it and you still have purpose and work to do!

Happy 40th Birthday to me!!! Today is my last day in my thirties and I'm sharing a few reflections with you. 

This summer, I've been learning how to mourn what was. To reflect on who I thought I would be, what I thought my career would look like, and all the expectations that haven't happened yet. Throughout the process, I've gain some insights and I'm sharing them with you in this episode. 

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but my kids owe me nothing and yours don't owe you either. I know you probably have a few choice words for me right now, but hear me out first then send me your feedback.

Summer has come and gone, but fun was had! Enjoyed my family as we explored and created memories in a new place. Now, it's time to get back into the swing of things, and signup for all the Fall activities!

There's a reel going around asking, "Why should I choose between this or that, when I can do both?" Well, I'm asking, "Is the ability to do both mean it's beneficial to do both?" No judgment, just asking for myself. 

We all have the power to influence. It's how we choose to use that influence that matters. Sometimes, I fail to realize the influence I have, and think I'm not making a difference. So, then I become stagnate, but I was reminded that just being me has the power to make impact, and I want to do the same for you.

Sometimes, I find myself focusing more on what I don't have over what I do have, which has caused me to overlook my blessings. But recently, I've realized I had something I thought I was in lack of, all because it came another way. Today, I want to encourage you to take inventory of what you have, and you'll find you're not missing anything at all.

Reflection is always a good thing to do because it helps bring things into perspective. Recently, I have made the decision to change my focus, so I can truly be content in my current season and appreciate the blessings I already have.
