 When the moment you're in or your current situation does not bring good feelings, look up. 

You have to choose to look up instead of looking at what's happening in front of and around you. It is definitely a choice you have to make and the sooner you make it, the sooner you are on your way to recovering your joy, your peace and the strength to love the people in front of you. (What about loving myself you ask? You did that when you successfully made the choice to turn to God's open arms!)

There are many, but one way I do this is with music that glorifies God by specifically calling out what Jesus has done for me. I stay there as long as I need to - focusing my attention on Jesus and off of whatever is bothering me. At times, this leads to quality time in the Father's presence, where I can talk to Him freely, tell Him how I feel honestly and He takes the heaviness from me - Hallelujah! He takes my heaviness and gives me my smile back, gives me peace, comfort and the feeling that I can go on being a light and glorifying Him with my thoughts, my words and my actions!


Here are some songs that help me and, maybe, can help you too.

Maaaaaaan, it has been a while! I haven't blogged since 2017 - 4 years ago. To jump right into it, I feel like I have my voice back. Not that anyone took it away, but circumstances helped my voice to get softer and softer. Circumstances also helped me to spend quality time with my Father in heaven, creating a better sense of who He has made me to be. As a result, my voice is back, with the intention - or purpose - of representing Him in everything I do. So what'sup!?! The virtuous journey continues...
Oh...and Happy International Women's Day 🥰

My Laila is the sweetest ever. Hands down. She's sweet even when it comes to sports - and I can't have that, lol! I've been trying to get Lai to see that on the field/court it's ok for her to get aggressive! This year, something clicked - not all the way, but the beast is waking up.

My father in law bought me the Smart Rope and my heart was so happy because I really wanted one. I jump in the winter as an alternative to running and it keeps my endurance on point for when the weather is right and I can get back on the road. I'm truly late with this post but...here it is!

My goodness! In my last post I talked about juggling things and some things falling. One thing that falls, and I do NOT like when I drop it, are my workouts 😔 
A day or two before this pic was taken, I was motivated by a fellow runner to get a run in. It felt SO good to get back on the road. It always does after a brief hiatus. I had a lot of other priorities to attend to, which is crazy because, this is a priority to me!

Forgive me for the delay in posts - a TON has been happening. As much as I strive to be (and in doing so appear to be 😉), I am not a super woman and that means some balls fall when I'm juggling ten at a once 😄

This is November 8, 2016 - Election Day. This is a day that most of us will remember, forever. I've made it a point to take these little people with me any time I vote.
