Spreading “Positivi-T”

Click below to read my latest blogs, and how I try to turn negatives into positives. It’s a challenge to be positive all of the time, but with a little inspiration along the way, you can certainly make the choice to be in a positive mood.

Give Yourself Grace

December 2023 Blog

Not only should we extend grace to others, but we should give ourselves grace. Wow…this one is a challenge for a lot of us. I know it’s been a challenge for me. We can be so hard on ourselves and forget that we are only human, and we can’t do everything or be everything to everyone. Instead, we should give ourselves grace to know that we are worthy of God’s love.

No. Is a Sentence

November 2023 Blog

2020 started my “year to no”. Not only “no”, but “no.” The period makes all the difference to me. It’s the end of the sentence. No, the end. There’s literally nothing else I need to say. No, I’m not available. No, I can’t take on that project. No, I’m not cooking today. Whatever my “no” meant, the period on the end made my point, “No.”

Silent Strength

October 2023 Blog

Never assume that quiet is weak and loud is strong. Proverbs 13:3 reads “Those who guard their lips preserves their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.” Learning how to control our tongues and not always speak so quickly is a humbled trait. We don’t always need to say what comes to our minds. Instead of being so quick to respond,

Your Weakness

September 2023 Blog

We should be aware of our weaknesses but not afraid of them. Being aware of your weaknesses allows us to know what we need to work on, or who to surround ourselves with who may be stronger in the areas that we are weak. It’s how we should learn to collaborate. Being weak is nothing to be ashamed of, if anything it shows us our humility and keeps us humbled.

Live In Expectation

August 2023 Blog

Life in general can be challenging, however we must find a way to take those challenging moments and find the lessons in them. We should live in expectation that no matter what comes our way, good or bad, all will be okay because we are living our lives in expectation of nothing but greatness.

Start Today

July 2023 Blog

Start today. Put yourself at the top of your “to do” list. You are worthy of achieving all that you desire to achieve. Give yourself grace in knowing that, it’s okay if you don’t have all the resources. It’s okay if you’re uncomfortable and scared. Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to realize your worth.

Be Original

June 2023 Blog

We should never compare ourselves to others. When you compare yourself to someone else, your uniqueness is slowly diminishing. You’re allowing your light to dim and eventually get burned out. Don’t do that to yourself. Love who you are, the original you. There is only one you and you should be the very best you that you can be.

Are You called?

Are You called?

May 2023 Blog

God gave you a specific calling. Are you using it? Are you walking in it? Are you blessing others with your gift? Or, are you simply doing what you think you should be doing, or what you see someone else doing? If so, how is that working out for you? Are you truly blessing others, or is what you doing for your benefit?

Bye Negativity

April 2023 Blog

Let’s ctrl + alt + delete negativity from our lives. That may look different for each of us. Maybe we decide to not be around negative people in our daily lives because it is too much to handle mentally. Maybe we prepare our minds by praying and asking for guidance before having a conversation with a negative person.

My Process, Your Process

March 2023 Blog

I’ve been told I have a strong personality and as mentioned before that I’m “bossy”. I used to apologize for that, but recently in life I’ve learned that I will no longer apologize for who I am. I’m not bossy, I just know what needs to get done. I have strong leadership qualities and I embrace that.

February 2023 Blog

If you put out positive content it will attract those seeking positivity. If you put out negative content it will attract those seeking negativity. It’s like a wildfire that catches everything on fire that’s in its path. This can be a productive fire or destructive fire…that is up to you.

Leave the past in the past

January 2023 Blog

I often tell myself, if I’m uncomfortable, that means I’m growing. We have to be willing to grow, and with growth sometimes comes discomfort. But again...this is a good thing. Allowing our past to dictate our future only hurts our chances of being successful.
