Serving: Keep Going

The mind is so powerful it’s almost scary! Our thoughts are the co-creators in the trajectory of our lives. That is why it is very important to be clear of the thoughts that you’re thinking and be VERY clear on what it is you want for YOUR life. It’s imperative, as it is biblical (“As a man thinketh, so is he” Proverbs 23:7, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18).

The law of energy states that, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred. This is also true mentally. When we’re not clear on what it is we want out of life, our energy is subconsciously shifted to what we don’t want, creating a life we do not want for ourselves. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way. The only thing that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary is the will to keep going. Life will give you every reason possible to give up. However, when you’re clear mentally and connected spiritually, peace is present. Peace is needed to navigate the sometimes treacherous ebbs and flows of this thing we call life. Our true peace can only come from the “Prince of Peace”, Jesus Christ. Resting and knowing that he will not play you! He has us all!

Stay the course, focus on the one who can steer you in the right direction (God), BE CLEAR, and keep going. Be well and be blessed, folks!

Serving: How to Create Easy Outfits on the Go

Have you ever needed something to wear in a pinch and ransacked your closet and came up with nothing? In today’s post I’m giving you my tips on how to create easy outfits on the go.

1. Stick to the basics: First identity the basis that work for you and your frame. Basics are a great pair of jeans, a great dress, neutral colored top, great pair of shoes, etc. It’s any item in your wardrobe that can be paired with anything! When creating an easy outfit at least one of your items in your look has to be a great basic. For example, a nice blouse with your favorite pair of jeans and a cute shoe is an effortless look.

2. Focus on Fit: Make sure you have items in your wardrobe that fit the body that you have, currently. You guys know that I’m a huge advocate of purging anything in your closet that does not fit the body that you currently have, items that you have not worn in at least a year, or items that you don’t absolutely love. You should be purging and assessing your wardrobe regularly.

3. Consider one piece items: Once piece items, such a dresses and jumpsuits are great pieces that take the difficulty out of getting dress. When you’re pressed for time and need a great outfit, have a go-to dress that you know fits you great and that’s in a color that compliments you perfectly!

4. Create outfits ahead of time: one of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to play in my closet. When I’m board I spend time creating outfits for different occasions. I encourage you all to do the same. By doing this you alleviate the need to create an outfit, especially if you’re on the go. Make sure it’s one that you know that fits you properly and one that you absolutely love!

Serving: Thank You for Being a Friend...

Have you ever had a friend that you love so much, do anything for them but in a weird way, your friendship seems off? Stuck, even? Have you ever had a friend(s), where nothing meets their approval? Whether they say it or not, they have a strong spirit of correction on them and they’re always sitting in a place of judgement. Have you ever had a friend(s) who tends to try and “fix” everyone based on their standards? Their intentions are sometimes good however, the execution of the “helpfulness” and the excessive amount of it, can be annoying? If this

sounds familiar. I’m right there with you.

The last two months of my life have been a time of great introspection. This time has caused me to re-evaluate myself in every aspect of my life. Questioning my own intentions, my goals/wants/desires, and definitely the people I call and consider friends. It has been a scary process to say the least. Scary because, I’ve learned that some of the relationships that I’m in if they don’t change they can not go into the next season of my life. Which is a hard pill to swallow.

I believe that in our close friendships, we sometimes allow ourselves to be okay with things that we’re really not. Whether it’s due to loyalty, time, or to avoid having those difficult conversations, we settle for things that in my opinion inhibits the evolution of the friendship. Which in retrospect, makes for an inauthentic friendship. A true friendship should be a safe space to discuss anything, a space to be your complete self without judgement. Friendships should serve as a support system, not something to be proven. Being able to be your complete self without feeling judged constantly, is what makes friendships so sacred. Consider the changes that need to be made in your respective relationships. There is always room for improvement.

Protect your space, protect your energy. Find a circle that is right for you. The real you!
