My passion for writing has brought me places I never would have imagined, yet it showed me that there were endless possibilities I started writing as a child because no one would listen to me. I grew up in the era where children should be seen and not heard. I made the mistake one day of telling my aunt I felt some type of way. Let's just say I learned that I had no feelings. I started writing all my thoughts and feelings down. It gave me a release of sorts. I could say what I felt without the worry of hurting someone's feelings.
As a young adult, I went to a revival where I got a glimpse at how real God was. I was going through some real life situations at the time. 19, pregnant,and mad at the world! I had seen the gift of prophesy, seen people slain in the spirit. At this particular place in my life though, I could care less what was being said to me. The pastor that night said key things that no one on earth knew! Then he sealed the deal with "One day you will sell books and speak to thousands!" I was like " I can't even speak in front of five people let alone thousands!"
Well I'm here to tell you I have written a book, working on three more now. I have written for an up and coming magazine called Model Call Mag, and though I haven't spoken to thousands yet, The size is growing on my public speaking engagements!
It is so easy to worry about things we can not change. We are so wrapped up in what others may think about us or how we will be portrayed that we loose sight on the main thing that is of importance. Ourselves. If you planned on getting a new car this year and it doesn't fall through,don't get upset, just continue to save your money and keep it moving. We have to stop placing our wants in front of our needs!
As women we will have a "man" just for the sake of having one. Many will say my kids need their father in their life. True statement, but if you pay all the bills, show up to all the sporting events alone, then what is daddy really doing?
There is nothing wrong with investing in yourself for yourself. If you empower yourself to be better,no one can take your power!
