The Power of Faith


It's been several days since I've been on here so I wanted to write something. I'm extremely tired right now but I wanted to make sure I write something before my schedule gets hectic again. I want to talk about keeping the faith and always believing no matter what challenges we are faced with.

I recently started a new gig on another feature a few days ago. This time I received a bump up in position and in pay. It's crazy because the week before that I had finished my last job with no idea what I was going to do next. A few of my friends were extremely worried and concerned for me and what I was going to do. I was not worried because I was at peace with myself and knew that I had done everything I can and whatever happens, happens. I even had to stay away from some of my friends because their constant worrying and pressure was bringing my positive energy down. Then less than a week later, out of nowhere, I get calls for several really great job offers to start immediately.

Criticizing Others Without Looking at Yourself?


Today was definitely an interesting day at work. One of my co-workers (let’s call her Nancy) decided to go to our supervisor (who works on a different floor by the way) and report a fellow co-worker (let’s call her Emily) because she’s coming to work sick. Now coming from any other person, this would have been a gesture of sincere concern. However, knowing Nancy's complete dislike for Emily, I know there were deeper, shadier reasons behind her gesture of "concern". Needless to say,

Failing to Success

For the longest I've wanted to run my own business. Working for other people in an industry that's so insecure and unsteady is so frightening and eye-opening, especially when you see other people struggling to make ends meet. What an economy we live in.

This is why I've decided to really put all of my ideas into action and take that step forward towards my business goals. I've been putting it off for so long and for no good reason. All because of fear of failure. The thing is, you can't succeed in anything if you are afraid to take a risk. Life and success is all about risk. Many of those successful people you read about in books and see on TV all took risks and failed many times, but they kept getting back up and trying again. That is why they are so successful today...they allowed themselves to fail many times and eventually turned those failures into success.

Faithfulness and Understanding the Law of Attraction

I feel amazing right now. I feel so peaceful and light as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Glory be to God!

I think I might've already mentioned this in a previous post but for the past 10 months or so I've been having feelings of depression, anxiety and extreme loneliness. I don't really know why. It was affecting me in such a big way that I've even distanced myself from a lot of my family and friends. I just stopped caring about myself, everybody else and life in general. I had no motivation to do anything but stay home in my bed. It was really bad! The worst part is, I didn't even realize I was clinically depressed until about a month ago when I somehow landed on a website about depression and realized I had all

Saving my Health: Groupon to Fitness

In keeping with my new found inspiration, I decided to go to the gym yesterday for the first time in about 2 years! (I can't believe I let it get that long). I had purchased a LivingSocial groupon deal for 20 group fitness classes for $20. I think that's a steal considering I live in NYC and one group fitness class alone usually runs about $20 or more. I just love knowing that I saved lots of money on something. A shoe could cost $150, for example, but if I know I saved $200 from its original price, then I go out of my way to try to come up with money to buy it. Smh, I'm a hopeless sucker when it comes to shopping deals.

The Power of the Mind

Hey everyone. I know it's been a long time since I've been on here. I've had so much going on in my life that I let myself get distracted and consumed by all the negative that is around me. So the other day I came across this amazing quote that really inspired me to get back on track to a positive mindset and peaceful person. I've heard something similar in the past but for some reason, it never really sunk in until today.
