Wisdom Wednesday

Lately, I’ve been asking myself some honest questions:
What connects me to people?
Why are they connected to me?
And why do they want to be connected?

In this season, I’ve crossed paths with some genuinely good, whole-hearted people, and also some not-so-good, conniving, sneaky links. And truth be told, each group has taught me something valuable.

Those with good hearts taught me not to give so much of myself without reciprocity.
And the sneaky links? They taught me who I never want to be.

But here’s the wisdom God has shown me: I needed both, for a season.

Many people aren’t bold enough to be honest about how they feel. Often, their anger, envy, or passive behavior isn’t about you at all, it’s rooted in their own lack of self-worth.

So on this Wisdom Wednesday, here’s what God has been teaching me:
If they can’t be honest, you be honest, with yourself.
Stop engaging.
Stop inviting.
Stop trying to hang.
And let people be exactly who they are.

God started me on this path last year, and He continues to guide me as He moves me through purpose and into His will. He keeps reminding me: It may be hard, but it will be worth it.

Don’t try to rationalize it.
Let go. And don’t look back.

God has new relationships and partnerships waiting, ones He actually desires for you to experience.

Therapeutic Tuesday

You ever have days where you just want to stay in bed and shut everything off?

If you haven’t, I have.

As much as I love the work I do, there are days when I’m just not feeling it. I rest. I practice self-care. I minimize noise and chaos. I pay attention to my physical health and my mental health. And still, those feelings show up, even when life is going well.

That’s because we’re human.

Our mindset can shift from day to day, even moment to moment. One minute we’re optimistic, the next we feel drained. We move from abundance to scarcity thinking. From feeling like the world is against us to remembering that God has our back. Sometimes, a simple shift in perspective can dramatically impact our peace, for better or for worse.

This is where endurance comes in.

Endurance isn’t about pushing through or pretending everything is fine. It’s about acknowledging the moment without letting it define you. It’s giving yourself permission to feel without getting stuck there.

So on this Therapeutic Tuesday, don’t be afraid to own those feelings on the hard days. We are not machines, we’re human. Moments of low energy, heaviness, or disconnection don’t mean something is wrong with you.

The key is not staying there too long.

When this happens, check in:
• How’s your sleep?
• What have you been eating?
• Where have your thoughts been resting?

Most of the time, it’s something that can be addressed, as long as we don’t ignore it. Endurance grows when we respond to ourselves with awareness, compassion, and care.

You don’t have to be strong all the time.
You just have to keep going.

Motivation & Momentum Monday

If God said it’s time for you to move to your next level, are you ready?

I ask myself that question often. Am I ready? Set? Go?
And then sometimes… I feel the anxiety rise. The fear creeps in. The what ifs get loud.

But here’s what I’ve learned from people who are truly thriving: that feeling is normal.

Anytime God calls us to move, stretch, or step into something new, hesitation can show up. Pausing to make sure it’s God? That’s wisdom. Pondering timing and direction? That’s discernment. But in all our overthinking and moments of indecision, we still have to move.

We need both motivation and momentum. Motivation gets us started. Momentum keeps us going. Momentum is built when we choose action over fear and trust God step by step. It’s the energy that fuels growth, change, and transformation.

So on this Motivation & Momentum Monday:
Don’t let anyone stop you.
Don’t believe the negative voices, inside or outside.
Don’t quit just because no one is clapping.

Thrive anyway.
And remember, if no one else has you… God got you. 🙏🏽

Soul Reset Sunday

As we prepare for a new week and a new month, it’s important to pause and reset. January has come and gone, and the blessing is that God allowed us to see it. Today is Sunday, and many will attend church, whether online or in person. As we prepare our hearts for worship, for the first week of February, and for what’s ahead, let’s be intentional about resetting our mind, body, soul, and spirit.

In the work I do with youth, they have what’s called a reset plan, something they use when they feel triggered, overwhelmed, or dysregulated. And I truly believe we as adults need reset plans too. What do you do when you feel overstimulated, anxious, overwhelmed, or even depressed? How do you reset your soul when situations outside of your control occur?

There are many ways to do this. For me, my go-to will always be sitting by myself, with myself, no noise, just me and God. Others may reset through breathing exercises, walking, listening to music, talking to a trusted and non-judgmental friend, or through prayer. Whatever it is, as long as it’s healthy and effective, do it.

So on this Soul Reset Sunday, my prayer is that you truly reset, so you can hear what plans God has for you. Give yourself space to receive clarity, next steps, and direction for your life. And most importantly, be intentional. Block out distractions that interfere with your peace, your purpose, and your destiny.

Resetting your soul matters, because we can’t be our best selves without divine guidance.

Stillness & Strengthening Saturday

For many, today looks like cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, or still clocking in for work. For others, today is about self-care and choosing to be still. Whatever your Saturday holds, let’s be intentional about creating moments of stillness, pausing, breathing, giving thanks, and taking in the wins from the week.

So often, we focus on what didn’t work out, what we didn’t get, or where we feel we fell short. But if we’re honest, one of the greatest gifts is simply opening our eyes, being given another opportunity to see how we can move forward and grow from what we thought was a failure.

I believe when we begin to turn our losses into lessons, we strengthen our core values. Core values are our fundamental beliefs, the guiding principles that shape our behavior and decision-making. They help us make wiser choices, not just for a moment, but for our overall life.

So on this Stillness & Strengthening Saturday, no matter how your week went, good or bad, wins or losses, I pray you take a moment to love on yourself a little extra. Reflect. Reset. And please don’t give up on your dreams or your purpose.

Stillness doesn’t weaken us—it strengthens us.

Feel-Good Friday

We’re only in January, and if I’m being honest, it already feels like a lot has happened. And the truth is… it has.

I recently read a passage about Daniel, and it stayed with me. God didn’t elevate Daniel because he was loud. He elevated him because he was faithful in silence. Daniel didn’t clap back when the atmosphere became hostile. He didn’t panic when the rules changed. He stayed grounded.

And I believe that’s where God has me in this season.

There are moments when I want to respond. When I’m annoyed. When I feel misunderstood. When I want to defend myself. But I’ve learned that clapping back can cost blessings, and I’m not willing to miss what God has for me.

Daniel reminds me that when you know who you are, and more importantly, when you know who God is, you don’t have to fight every battle.

Here’s the part that truly humbled me:
God did just that, He promoted me to a job I didn’t even apply for.
I was told to apply, and I didn’t even have to interview. That was God, not striving, not forcing, not explaining, just obedience.

So on this Feel-Good Friday, let’s choose humility and gratitude.
Stay disciplined.
Stay prayed up.
Stay unbothered.

Because God still honors quiet obedience with LOUD favor.

Thrive Thursday

There’s a difference between making things happen and allowing God to move, for you, through you, and in you.

So many of us find ourselves in seasons of doubt because we haven’t accomplished what we thought we would by now, or we’re not where we imagined we’d be. When that happens, discouragement creeps in—and before we know it, we start taking matters into our own hands.

I’m not saying be passive.
What I am saying is this: when I’ve done what I believe is right, and the answer is still no or not yet, I refuse to force it.

What I’m noticing, deeply in my spirit and clearly in my life, is that God is elevating and pouring out blessings. They just don’t always look the way we expect. We often miss them because we’re waiting for something grand, loud, or publicly visible.

But since I let go of trying to control everything, I haven’t just found peace, I’ve found extra peace.

There are things I keep private on purpose, and there are things God keeps hidden for a season. That doesn’t mean He’s not moving. It means He’s working in ways that don’t need an audience.

So on this Thrive Thursday:
Keep going.
Stop chasing accolades.
Don’t post it if it’s just for ego.

Keep thriving, not for applause, but because it’s your God-given purpose. And when you walk in alignment, the people God has assigned to you, get to prosper too.

That’s real thriving.

Wellness Wednesday

Why is it that we’re so open to encouragement, but struggle deeply with criticism?

When a boss says, “There are errors on this report,” or someone asks, “Can I help you with this?” why do so many of us immediately feel like failures? Why does our mind jump to I’m not enough instead of this is feedback?

I remember before becoming a clinician, I worked as a secretary doing data entry. I typed quickly and was mostly error-free. On the few occasions I did make errors, my supervisor would let the team know. Mine were never major, she was simply doing her job and relaying information.

But she noticed something about me.

Even though she delivered the feedback appropriately, I tensed up. I didn’t like making mistakes. She saw the perfectionism in me. So what did she do? She started having random, light conversations with me before sharing feedback, so I’d feel more relaxed and less guarded.

Looking back, she wasn’t pressuring me or criticizing my character. She wasn’t saying I was bad or incapable. She was simply communicating information. I was the one internalizing it.

And that’s the truth for many of us.

When we internalize feedback, it’s often not about the person delivering the message, it’s about how we perceive it. But instead of checking in with ourselves, we blame others for how we feel.

So on this Wellness Wednesday, let’s remember who we are:
Perfectly imperfect individuals
People who will make mistakes, but are not defined by them
People who may fail, but can get back up
People whose worth is not tied to a moment or a situation

Our worth is rooted in who God already said we are, and who we are becoming. Worthy. Growing. Willing to do the work. Open to correction. And positioned for continual wisdom and favor.

Feedback doesn’t mean failure.
It means there’s room to grow, and that’s wellness too.

Tender Heart Tuesday

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of conversations about relationships and marriage in 2026. And I truly believe both are beautiful. Having someone to share life with can be a wonderful thing.

But I’ve also noticed how often the focus stays on the fleshly parts of it all, the ceremony, the excitement of new love, the idea of finally having someone, the fun moments, the romance.

And while those things are real, they’re not the whole picture.

Through reading, listening to married couples, and praying for wisdom, I’ve learned that relationships and marriage require so much more. They require consistency. Wholeness. Healing. Commitment, even on the days you don’t feel like it.

Marriage isn’t just a ceremony. It’s a lifelong journey, one that can be deeply meaningful, but also deeply stretching.

So on this Tender Heart Tuesday, take a moment to search your heart:
Are you ready for love, peace, joy, and happiness?
Are you also ready for sadness, challenges, and sacrifice?
Are you ready for good days and hard days, fully committed to one person?

I can’t tell you if I’m there at this very moment. But what I do know is that marriage isn’t just about companionship, it’s about purpose and ministry. And if God says this is what He has for you, then my prayer is that when the time comes, you’ll be ready.

Sometimes desiring something doesn’t mean we’re prepared for it yet, and that’s okay. Tender hearts take time to grow.

Mental Health Monday

Caring for our mind, body, soul, and spirit matters, especially during the winter months.

We’re in a season where snow can come at any time. Many of us live in the Northeast, some don’t, but this past weekend, snow and ice hit across the nation, even in places that rarely experience it. And what we all know is this: many employers, CEOs, presidents, owners, managers, and directors still don’t take that into consideration.

Most of them won’t lose money if things slow down for a day or two. Yet many remain so focused on productivity, the economy, and replacement culture, forgetting that people are not machines. Many workplaces will replace us at the drop of a hat, yet expect us to risk our peace, safety, and mental health without hesitation.

So regardless of how they feel or what they have going on—take care of YOU.
Your mind.
Your body.
Your soul.
Your spirit.

I’ve learned over the years that many places see people as tools, valuable only for what they produce. And that truth should shift how we prioritize ourselves.

So on this Mental Health Monday:
• If you have to go out, take your time and get there when you get there.
• If you’re home, and hopefully dug out or paid someone to do it, I pray you’re resting and resetting for the week ahead.

Snow days and the pressure to be “ready” for work the next day can create anxiety, stress, and frustration. Hopefully one day leadership will truly understand the toll this takes on mental health.

Until then, remember this:
You can find another job,
But, You cannot find another you.

Stay safe.
Stay warm.
Take your time.
The job will be there when you return.

Spirit-Led Sunday

There’s something powerful about saying what you mean and meaning what you say, yet so many of us hold back. We hide behind fear, shame, or uncertainty. We convince ourselves that what we feel or want to say won’t be received well… or that rejection will hurt too much.

And here’s the truth:
Sometimes it won’t be taken to heart.
Sometimes rejection will happen.

But you will never know if you don’t speak what’s on your spirit.

I remember years ago when I met my husband. People would tell me he liked me, and I was tickled, he was one of the popular guys in school. But months went by before he reached out. When he finally did, I could hear the fear in his voice. Still, he decided to take the chance.

Though he’s no longer here on this earth, I’m so grateful he did. He was a great man, and had he stayed silent, that chapter of my life would never have existed.

My point is this: we miss out, on opportunities, friendships, and relationships, because we fear rejection. Instead of fearing rejection, we should pause and ask ourselves why we’re afraid to move… or whether we’re even meant to.

A clear sign you’re supposed to speak up, apply, or move toward something is purpose.
Does it align with where God is taking you?
Will it move you closer to God, or further away?

Once you have those answers, rejection loses its power.
You won’t move in fear, you’ll move in obedience and confidence.

Speak what’s on your spirit.
Trust God with the outcome.
That’s where freedom lives.

Sound & Non-Judgmental Saturday

I recently read an article about a middle-aged woman who died homeless in the cold. Like I often do, I went to the comments, and what I saw was debate, blame, and finger-pointing about what should have been done.

It made me think about my time housing homeless youth and how, at times, they would self-sabotage opportunities meant to help them. What most people don’t understand is that mental health, past trauma, and the trauma of living on the streets often get the best of people. That’s not an excuse, it’s reality. And unless you’ve lived it or worked closely with it, it’s hard to fully understand.

Some of the youth I tried to house told me they felt safer sleeping in abandoned buildings than in shelters. That alone should pause us. That alone should soften us.

I didn’t respond in the comments, but I noticed something important. While many people debated what should be done, one person simply shared how she helps and what she does. And I thought, that’s beautiful.

So on this Sound & Non-Judgmental Saturday, let’s be more aware.

We may not be able to bring someone into our homes. We may not have the finances or resources to help in big ways. But what we can do is withhold judgment. We don’t know people’s stories. We don’t know their “why.”

I truly believe this:
If you’re not going to help, move out of the way.
And if you don’t have anything kind or constructive to say, please be quiet.

But if you can help, by all means, do so.

I no longer house homeless individuals, but my heart is still full of resources. The clients I serve in mental health don’t just receive counseling, they receive support toward whole stability.

We all can help in some way.
And when we do, I believe it keeps us blessed and favored.
