I know that it has been quite some time since I have made a blog post. I apologize for my absence as I am working to find balance and improve my time management skills. Please pray for me; it is a process, ha-ha. During my time away, I have been focusing on ways to better take care of myself. I often found myself feeling overwhelmed and in need of a…
Dear Young Tyreka, Wow! Can you believe that you are finally an adult? You have waited for this moment since you were 16 years old. I can tell you that you enjoy the freedom that adulthood brings but could pass on the paying bills part (haha).

There is something about New York City that genuinely makes my heart smile. I love the Big Apple! Life can get crazy, and we can get caught up in the madness of it all, so this trip was a much-needed escape. The hustle and bustle that may turn some off are what draws me closer. My husband and I enjoy visiting, and it is now one of my favorite places…

Thanks to my husband and place of employment, this move has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I learned that taking a risk and diving into the unknown could change your life for the better. I have been here for almost…
Losing 30 pounds had me thinking that I was on my way to being snatched all summer. I believed that the weight would continue to “fall” off with ease. Who knew that weight loss would take such hard work and dedication? (haha)Eating healthy has been a challenge. Here’s the thing, I don’t eat a lot, but my food choices are poor. I am guilty of indulging the unhealthiest foods and…
This birthday has been very special to me. This past year has been a roller coaster of emotions but has been my best year yet. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my faith has become unwavering. My support system has both increased and strengthened. I am more fulfilled in life and learning to appreciate the present. This year, I decided to do something different. My birthday in on July…
Happiness and Self-love True and genuine happiness was difficult for me to obtain for several years. I told myself that I was happy. The smile that I learned to falsely plant on my face would make you think that I was. I knew that I lacked the self- love, evaluation, and awareness that I needed to truly be happy. I decided in 2018 that I was going to make an…
