Life Goes On

Be careful not to let your current situation stop you from pursuing your dreams. They say things always seem to get worse before they get better, and I can attest to that. Been through so much over my lifetime. Every time I was about to give up, God came through. He did it for me and I know He will do it for you.

Remember, this is only one small part of your story. As long as you are living, your story continues, and life goes on. God’s got you (and me too).

Just hold on! I promise you great things are coming.

Be Blessed!♥️

Friendly Reminder: Keep Going!

Here is a friendly reminder that you must keep going. Listen, you have come too far and been through too much to give up now. As my fav said a year ago, focus on one step at a time.

Facebook Memory: December 6, 2022

Gotta keep going!♥️

I don’t know about you but I can hear Mary Mary singing, “Can’t Give Up Now.”

Keep going!♥️

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!♥️

I got you covered.

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.♥️

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!!🥰

I be soooo extra when it comes to my babies!!🤪

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♥️

Hello Sunday

This memory is the perfect follow up to how Beyoncé’s film left me feeling last night. Y’all, I can’t even make this stuff up. Who knew my next memory and message (why do I hear DJ Khaled saying, “God did!”—hilarious) was going to be a reminder that I was created for greatness. Not in an egotistical way, but in a way where I have to stop playing small. It is absolutely imperative that I use every God given talent I have to fulfill my purpose—to fulfill His purpose. I keep telling y’all Year50 is different. It’s so different that sometimes it frightens me. I said I wanted the next 50+ years to be completely different and Voila! it is so.

Facebook Memory: December 3, 2022

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you were created for greatness. Nothing but greatness follows you. Remember, YOU ARE God’s child!♥️

God’s child. Divinely made. ONE of one.

Praying you have a wonderful day. Remember, YOU were created for greatness. Stop shying away from your calling.

Love you!♥️
