Facebook Memory: December 5, 2022
You ARE a blessing!
Yes…YOU are someone’s gift.♥️
Enjoy your day!

You Are The Blessing
Praises Going Up
The saying goes, “When praises go up, blessings come down.” Yessss!
I know you felt that because I sure did. Listen, I’m sending up praises as I write, not only for myself, but for everyone connected to me, including YOU. Yes, praises are going up for you!♥️
Keep those praises going! You never know who you are blessing.

My Story Continues
Here are two more Facebook memories I wanted to share before this day ended. They are my annual reminders that where I am today is not where I am meant to stay. As long as I am breathing, there will always be more to my story.
Facebook Memory: December 4, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m in tears, y’all. This was three years ago during one of my lowest moments, and a few days before my car accident. Whew! It was posts like this that kept me going. When I couldn’t see my way, I would always find words of encouragement through social media. I’m so grateful I made it through those tough times. I’m here. I’m still standing. What was meant to break me, didn’t work.💃🏽
Facebook Memory: December 4, 2020
Blessed.
Humbled.
Grateful.
I entered 2020 without any expectations. I was tired of expecting things to happen only to be disappointed at the end of the year. This year I decided to allow God to lead. What I discovered is when He leads, AMAZING things happen!
I’m so grateful to be a contributing author in the Finally Free anthology. I’m so thankful for my Finally Free family. I have always believed in divine connections. I know God has placed me where I am at this specific moment in time, with this group of authors, for a specific purpose. For His purpose. He’s so intentional, y’all! It didn’t happen two or three years ago when I thought I was ready. It happened now, in the midst of a pandemic! HOW AWESOME!! He just amazes me! Y’all, I’m so thankful I allowed God to lead.
What a difference a year makes. My brother had just passed away in October 2019, and I was in a funk. I was disappointed, heartbroken, and felt hopeless. I really didn’t want to see or hear anything about expecting great things in the new year. Then, 2020 came and flipped everyone’s life upside down. By the time I was asked to do the anthology, I was just happy to feel normal again. Y’all, God is so good. He knew exactly what I needed to keep me going.
As I mentioned in my previous post, life never really happens as we envision it to; however, it always happens according to God’s plan and in our favor. This year I am without my mom. To be honest, everything feels like déjà vu. However, unlike four years ago, I am going into 2024 expecting great things to happen.
That’s all for now. Wishing you a good night.♥️

Trust God’s Plan
Nothing ever seems to happen the way we envisioned. However, it always happens according to God’s plan. And…His plan is always best. Always!
Today, I encourage you to trust God’s plan. No matter what things look like, what you are sick and tired of going through, or how long it takes, trust God’s plan. He sees things that you don’t. He knows what lies ahead. His process is to make sure you are equipped to handle whatever comes next. Be patient and continue following His lead. I promise you everything will work out in your favor. Trust Him.
On another note, about my daughter’s reaction to the news about her single.
Y’all, she had no clue. She was not expecting it to reach 100,000 so soon. She knew she was close (I told her when it was around 99K views—last week!). She told me she needed time to process the fact that people are actually streaming her music. And of course she’s not going to share it and I respect her decision. However, as a proud mom, I think it’s pretty cool! Just imagine your voice reaching so many people (even though some are probably repeats, but still). Yeah…that’s pretty cool.
Y’all, we are all connected some way or another. How cool is that!
Love you!♥️

SCREAMING Congratulations JustOneKi!!!🌟
Okay…I’m about to be SOOOO EXTRA in a few hours. When I tell you my Facebook memories are ALWAYS on point and on time! Listen, I cannot make this stuff up!!!
So here’s my memory from two years ago. Afterwards, I’ll tell you why it is so significant.
Facebook Memory: December 4, 2021
For those who don’t have TikTok.🤪
Exciting things are happening!! Y’all know I don’t do videos, but I’m soooo proud of Ki. Most of the time we only see the finish product. Rarely do we see what happens behind the scenes. This has been years in the making. She’s been singing since she was a toddler. So her debut single is a pretty big deal. Yep.. it’s BIG!

Tell Me
I’m so proud of you, KiSondrea!!🥰
Well…
As I said, my Facebook memories are ALWAYS on time!!! My daughter doesn’t know it yet, but one of her singles, BODY, just hit 100K views on YouTube!!! She never checks it but I do from time to time, especially since she has been so close, and yesterday she was soooo close. Today she has 100K+ views. I am SO PROUD of her!!!! Can’t wait until she wakes up so I can SCREAM!!!🗣️
CONGRATULATIONS KI!!!🎉🪩🎉🌟🎉
Here’s her song, BODY. It was produced by her boyfriend who is now her fiancé. What a year! I’ll let y’all know how she reacts. She rarely posts anything on social media. She has a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations, master’s in Journalism, and works for a marketing firm, but rarely promotes her work. I don’t get it, but she does and I respect that. However, TODAY…we’re going to celebrate her accomplishment and I am going to celebrate her with the world (my little set of friends and followers–laughing). That’s my baby and I am so proud of her.
Wishing you a wonderful day!!
Be Blessed♥️

Visualization
I almost forgot about my second post for today. Went searching for inspiration and found the excerpt below in my journal entry. Thought it went perfectly with the past two posts.
Journal Entry: December 3, 2019.
Just watched a TEDx talk by Ashanti Johnson, “The Power of Visualization.” You have to see your vision before you start living in it. First, clarify what you want. Then, clarify the energy you place around it. No negative energy. Finally, see yourself there. See yourself in that space.
Honestly, I do not remember this specific TEDx talk. I guess this is my cue to rewatch it.
Enjoy your day!♥️
