Do You Have A Plan Of Action?

I woke up this morning feeling so refreshed. I thought about all that I wanted to accomplish this year personally, with my browngirls, family and friends. I thought about what I needed to do to accomplish these goals. I will list my 2016 goals I a separate post.

However, I would like to ask you the following questions:

1. Have you thought about the goals you would like to accomplish this year?

2. What are some of those goal?

3. What steps are you going to take to accomplish those goals? Did you create an implement a roadmap for this year to assist you?

4. Are your actions today helping you get where you want to go in the future?

No matter how old or young you are, you have a choice to have a plan, mission and Vision for your life. If you want your life to be different in 2016 you must take the time to develop and implement a plan.

Help! My Parents Drive Me Crazy

A few years ago, I created a Facebook group for children of Black and Brown parents called “Help! My Parents Drive Me Crazy.” The purpose of this group is to provide a safe, supportive space where adolescents aged 14 and up can connect, share experiences, and discover strategies for navigating adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and beyond. People from all walks of adolescence and young adulthood are welcome to join, creating a community where we can learn, grow, and support one another . This is a positive, uplifting space — no bashing is allowed.

You will find understanding, encouragement, and connection as you navigate the journey of being yourself.

Happy 10th Birthday Nyasia

It was a cold February day. I recall being at work and talking to my friend/coworker "Medina". I told her that my menstrual cycle was late and I needed to go to Duane Reade during lunch. That day I took a total of four pregnancy test. I needed to make sure because of a previous experience I had with her sister Tereya. When I was pregnant with Tereya, I also took three test. The results were not accurate. One was positive, two were negative and finally a positive blood test. There is no need for me to elaborate, we all know how the story ended. Lol! September 8th, is a very special day. God blessed me with my second daughter one decade ago today. I remember that night as if it were yesterday. If it were up to the ER physician, Nyasia would have been born in the elevator or the sidewalk. My Ob/Gyn was performing a c-section and he barely made it in time to deliver my baby. Dr. Kuno handed me this little tiny baby with the big beautiful eyes. She was born at 12:56am...

Week 1: Before I Was Mom, I Was His

Remembering Your Identity Beyond Roles Scripture: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1 Reflection: Before motherhood, before the sleepless nights, before the endless tasks and responsibilities, you were known. You were loved. You were God’s. Motherhood is sacred and life-changing, but it can also quietly blur our sense of self.

God calls you first and foremost by your name, not your role. You are His beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made. This week, we begin by remembering that identity. The part of you that exists beyond caregiving, beyond tasks, beyond roles. Wellness Insight: Wellness begins with presence and awareness. When you recognize that your worth is not ti...
