Sometimes loss has a way of teaching us what life rushes past too fast to show.
It reminds us to slow down, to breathe deeply, to notice the small, beautiful things—like the scent of a rose or the warmth of the sun on your face. 🌹☀️
Take care of yourself. Rest when you need. Love while you can. And don’t forget to pause… even just for a moment… to truly be here. 💫

Watching our son graduate 🎓 is more than a proud moment — it’s a reminder of the legacy we build with love, sacrifice, and intention.
Grateful for the generations that paved the way 🙏🏽, and even more grateful to witness the next one rise 🌟. This is what legacy looks like. 💙✨

A night to remember with my sister friends, soaking in the brilliance of Purpose on Broadway! 🎭✨ Laughter and soul-stirring performances — this play truly lived up to its name.
really did the d@$n thing with this one. If you haven’t seen it, put it on the list!

Did you know that bamboo takes up to 5 years just to break through the soil? 🌱
For years, nothing is visible. But beneath the surface, it’s developing strong roots—preparing for explosive growth.
Once it breaks through, it can grow over 90 feet in just a few weeks. 🎋
Faith works the same way. ✝️
God may be building something in you right now that no one else can see—not even you. Don’t lose hope in the waiting. Just because you don’t see progress doesn’t mean there isn’t growth. ⏳
Trust the process. Stay rooted in faith. Your season of breakthrough is coming. 🌿✨

More doesn’t always mean better. 🆗
You can make 50 posts, receive 20 awards, or attend 10 speaking engagements — and still not create true impact.
It’s not about how much you do — it’s about how well you do it and how you feel once it’s done.
Focus on meaningful actions, not just many actions.

Yesterday was rough. But today, I’m grateful for water, clear skin and a 3 day weekend. 🤗
Nothing and no one can prepare you for the impact of grief. It rears its head at any moment and can completely take you out.
But each day I grieve, I also learn new ways to heal and care for myself.
And for that, I’m grateful. ☺️
You should definitely audit your time like you audit your checkbook. Now I know money may feel like a very different currency for you, but time is just as crucial. Why? Because we cannot replenish it. Once it’s gone, it is gone! Want to know how to do it? It’s very simple. All you need is paper and pen if you want to keep an old-fashioned time log. Or you can resort to one of the many apps that can help you track the tasks that you’re doing within a given time period.
The most important thing is to pick a period of time and ensure consistency in tracking that period of time for 3 to 5 days at least. Then look at the patterns. You’d be surprised at what you discover!
Always feeling like you’re running out of time? What about feeling like you’re always under the gun? All of these are the symptoms of time scarcity. Often these symptoms are a direct result of your own relationship with time. If you spend more time chasing time, then you’ll always deal with time scarcity. But if you spend your time truly measuring the moments, then you might just have this thing figured out.

Take care of your inner voice because she is telling your story.
Caring for your inner voice requires that you surround yourself with the people, the ideas, and the voices that feed your spirit. Ever wonder why you can be around some thing or situation and feel uneasy? It’s because it’s in direct conflict with your inner spirit, which feeds your inner voice. And the more you force yourself to be in that space, the more you realize that you will acquiesce to that and ultimately become that. So don’t waste your time with people or in spaces that don’t support the voice that you want speaking back to you.
You may not be surprised to hear that, globally, women spend more time as unpaid domestic and care workers than men.
The issue isn’t about women who have the choice. It’s about women who don’t have the choice and end up being caught up in a cycle of poverty, inequality, and productivity that is not attached to any form of compensation or reward. Can you imagine how time is valued in a situation where you don’t have the choice to take care of the people around you? That is why each moment you get, you should do your best to maximize the value of your time.
Your chronotype may be the reason you’re not getting up at the time you want.
Ever wonder why some people get up so early and why others wake up so late? It doesn’t mean that one group is better than the other. It just means that one group has a certain chronotype that responds to a certain cycle of the sun. Listen to learn more about which chronotype you are so that you have a better understanding of why you wake up and go to sleep when you do.
Did you know your culture can impact your time relationship?
Where you are from, how you were raised, and your physical environment all have an impact on how you engage with time. Do you have a linear or nonlinear concept of time? That depends. I was born in a culture that has a nonlinear conception but raise in a culture with a linear conception. It made for some very interesting time experiences. Listen to learn more about how culture impacts your time management.
