Making Changes
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it” -Mary Engelbreit We all know someone who we can compare to stagnant water, they choose to go nowhere and they stink (figuratively speaking). Change is something that I strongly believe should be recurring. There’s a word I like to use when I am speaking about changes and that is comfort. If you do not strive for a change then you are comfortable right? Many times people settle for what’s in front of them and they choose to go nowhere. Picture yourself running on a treadmill, theoretically and imaginatively speaking you are…

Forgiveness
It truly is a blessing when your cognitive level is high enough whereas inspiration to write can derive from almost anywhere. During a very intellectually charged conversation I had with a friend, he asked me, How many times can someone make a mistake before you stop forgiving them? Have you ever heard the proverb, different strokes for different folks? Well, here are my thoughts on forgiveness. To forgive sounds easier said than done. Oftentimes I have heard that when you forgive someone it is not for them but for yourself. While this may be true, it may not be enough for you to even begin to think to forgive someone…

Knowing the different types of friendships/relationships as well as how they affect us matters. And so I will share some insights on that allowing us to start a conversation. Let me start by mentioning that there are…

Why I decided to love me by Nancy Fleuridor
When my blogging friend @faithnturtles and I decided to write a blog on self- love my mind began to wonder. I started to think about the era when I was very insecure and the times I did not delight in my features like my legs, arms, shoulders and other aspects of my body. I grew up hearing questions like “Why are you so skinny?” a dozen hour in the day. If I had a dollar for every person that mentioned those words to me, I would be a millionaire. Eventually, the Lord freed me from caring about what people thought of me and their outlook of who I was. I…
