A Word Wednesday: The Blame Game

“Now who to blame, you to blame, me to blame?”
It’s one thing to take accountability for your actions but the weight of blame can be something serious. Take accountability for your role in situations and your life’s experiences and wipe the slate clean. Don’t let the weight of shame or guilt weigh you down forever. We all make mistakes. But acknowledging your shortcomings and being able to move forward are necessary in order to let go & grow.

Are situations bothering us because we’ve been blaming someone else for our actions and not taking accountability OR because we’ve been blaming ourselves and not moving forward?

Give yourself the same grace you give others and forgive yourself for all the things you’ve been blaming yourself for and haven’t gotten over.
And remember to love yourself, because YOU deserve to be loved!💋

A Word Wednesday: Forgiveness

“Today I decided to forgive you. Not because you apologized or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves peace.” – Unknown

Forgiveness is for YOU and not anyone else. Without forgiveness, the weight of hurt, pain, shame, grudges, and so much more can weigh you down and impact your behavior. We must forgive others and even ourselves in order to release this weight and thus, move forward.

I’m actively working to let go and forgive myself. It’s a process and I know it may be easier said than done but it can be done and MUST be done so you can continue on your journey without anything holding you back. Remember, you are not alone nor are you the only one dealing with something. But at what point are you able to release and move forward? Reflect on forgiveness today.
And remember to always love yourself because YOU deserve to be loved!💋

Monday Motivation

The story of your life is not yet complete, the rest is still unwritten and therefore, the best is yet to come.

It’s a new year and that means there are plenty of opportunities for new blessings and experiences. And anything is possible with God.

You may have been through some hardships and trials, but these situations are not your end all be all. You may be defeated but DON’T give up. Be defeated for a fleeting moment, not forever. Because if you give up now, you’ll never open your mind to see your better days.

Have faith & keep pressing on. 💋

A Word Wednesday: 2021 Focus

Happy New Year! 2021 is here and with the new year, what’s your focus?

Personally, I like to write down goals for the year – call them my New Years Resolutions if you will. 2020 opened my eyes and readjusted my focus.

This year, I am no longer living in the past BUT taking the lessons of my past in order to grow and move forward.

I hope you all are writing down goals, plans & visions for you to execute this year – writing it down helps hold yourself accountable. May this year be filled with blessings & opportunities for you. And remember to always love yourself because you deserve to be loved. 💋
