Hey ladies (and gentlemen if you're reading) I feel so good typing this blog this week! I couldnt wait to get in a quiet place so I could transcribe it all out. This week as you read this; I want you to focus on creating an environment for hope to grow. The definition of hope is; a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. I am a church girl and I am going to sound like a preacher when I say this but how many of yall are living in expectation for God to

Whats up yall! I hope you are having a WONDERFUL week so far. Today is HUMP DAY so the week is almost over. I could not wait to get this blog out and hopefully you can see why. The other day I was at home doing home stuff lol ie: cleaning up, napping, whatever. And I was watching an interview on AMC. The interviewer was speaking with Matt Damon and he asked him did he have any influence on the reconnection of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck and this was his response "no I didn

I smile as I type this because it has been in my head for so long and I didnt share it but.... I think its time. Hello to the person reading this! I hope and pray that your life is full of joy and happiness and you have the most welcoming outlook for the future. You need to know and understand the world is in your hands; mold it to fit the purpose that God has for your life. WE (if you noticed its capitalized because I am including me *eyeroll) delay certain aspirations in li

Two more days and we will be in September. Only 3 more months to do whatever it is that you had planed for 2021; but no rush and no problem; believe me, if its meant to get done it will get done. I was having a conversation with my pastors wife (who is the BESTEST PERSON EVER) yesterday and we were talking about a few things and while she was talking it came to me; you aren’t the only one that has had that experience and then today I was speaking with one of my best friends

Whats up ?! Whats up?! Whats up?!? I said that in my Martin voice and if you don't know who Martin is well then baby you are seriously too young; go ahead and google the show please (inserts eyeroll) I took a week off from blogging to be a mom and deal with life which has been absolutely crazy an hectic; between kids starting a new school ( I officially have 2 middle schoolers) to Covid literally devastating the community I live in.... I had to just chill for a week BUT I AM

Pressure gets hot And with heat come mirages So you think it's cool over there Your thirst is real But water can't fill What comparison kills Those are lyrics from a song by singer Jonathan McReynolds called Comparison Kills. Yesterday was August 1st and while on social media I saw so many people and influencers talking about the first of the month and setting all of these goals which are PERFECT! There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it at all! BUT... you know there is alw

I have heard the saying "don't let them see you sweat" hundreds of times and I have followed that advice. Whenever something is wrong; I have walked around like it was all together and everything around me was crumbling because I didn't want "them" to see me sweating. BUT WHY NOT?!?! Listen.... if they see you sweating that's a good thing. It shows you didn't roll over; actually its making you work harder. So yep you will see me sweating and not only sweating but you will acc

Hey!!! Let me apologize; I have totally been slipping when it comes down to blogging because life has just been life but I promise I am going to do much better. I knew it was time to come back and talk to you all but I didn't know what about; if you know me I always say I neve want to waste your time so I patiently waited for what God wanted me to share with you all and I got it while watching the movie Twilight.... I am such a geek and nerd at times; I love watching Marvel m

Today; December 14th, 2020; the state of California and its 55 electoral votes made Joseph R Biden our 46ths president of the great United State of America. We all know it didnt come easily thought; it came with alot of opposition from the republican party but at the end of the day he won.... and I voted for him! I am excited President Trump is out of the office BUT I have to say i learned a few things during his presidency and these aren't all in chronological order. I learn

I often tell people that its hard for me to understand, accept, and live in dysfunction because what I have seen in my life are functional relationships, friendships, marriages, etc. That's my testimony; I am not sure what yours is but that's mine. Too many times in life people have only experience chaos so when stability comes into the room they back away because.... its different and hard to understand... its not the norm. We have to grasp the concept.... Stability is ok...

Alright! Alright! Alright! So today yall are going to get a real deal holy field Katie! The "E" in I'm DOPE stands for elevation and quite as kept; ya girl Katie has not be elevating her thinking. One of my really good friends legit called me out on it; in the best way she could and basically said "and I will not tolerate this at all". All I could say was ok... because she was absolutely correct! How can i tell others to elevate their way of thinking and I am ok with sitting

I have contemplated for days about making this blog post… I have prayed about it because it wont be received by everyone but PLEASE know these are my feelings and I am coming from a good place. Nobody and I mean absolutely NOBODY starts a life with someone either thinking or planning for it to end; but as we know…. Things happen in life and they happen daily and life has to keep on moving. I will admit; 2 ½ years ago my plan was to never be a single parent; I know people who

I honestly cannot believe I am sitting here telling you all that I did it. I wrote a book! I wrote a book; during a pandemic, while working from home and home schooling two kids. I always try to be as transparent as possible with everyone I am around and this pandemic emotionally became a bit much and affirmations helped me on a daily basis. I thought.... if it can help me sure enough it can help others. This is volume 1 of 3 volumes of affirmations we will be putting out for
