It’s A No

I learned something. Wanna hear it? I learned that if it ain’t a Hell Yes, then it’s a No. For years, I quoted Randy Jackson from American Idol. When he looked across the stage at something that he wasn’t feeling, he simply said, “It’s a no for me, dog.” I’m embodying that “no” more and more every day. And I have to tell you, I like what I have going on over here. I’m voting for me. And the reason... Read more

Many years ago, as a single woman, my sister shared some wisdom with me that I have to take into my marriage relationship, my ministry, and my business. She told me that a covenant is established to eradicate weakness. The word covenant has several connotations and applications, but for the purpose of this discussion, I want to look at it from the simple aspect of an agreement or pledge. The Bible tells us that “two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes... Read more

As I get back to the regular schedule of some things and a totally shifted routine of others, I have to take a moment and show some gratitude. I am grateful for the simplest joys in life- a sweet treat, a good laugh, a valuable lesson. I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy all these things over the last few days, and as I began to reflect, I smiled. Several of these moments happened under the breeze of the fan and... Read more

Andrae Crouch performs a classic gospel song called The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power. How true that is- more than you or I will ever comprehend. Before I knew it I quoted him in prayer this morning. I was calling on the Lord to soothe my doubts and calm my fears. This is yet another October where I find myself experiencing health challenges. The difference this time though is wisdom. In speaking to my sister and my Spiritual Mom... Read more

Go All Out: Evolve

Evolution doesn’t go backwards. So when God releases you into a thing- actually when you allow Him to bring you out to the front- things are no longer the same. When the curtain is pulled back and you are realeased into the next level of your true self, your world becomes brand new. My charge to you today: Don’t let anyone dull your shine. I don’t care if it’s your mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, dog or cat. Your... Read more

This little light of mine is burning brighter than ever today. As I look back over the blissful summer that I’ve had I can be nothing but grateful. God orchestrated things in such a way that I could not only be useful and impactful, He did it in such a way that I could be restored. Writing this I am simply in awe of the Master of the Universe. He is so mindful of me; He loves me not just... Read more

9-1-1 Emergency

I had to go there because of the date. Here in America the number 911 signifies a few things. As citizens we are familiar with the emergency service. Dial 911 and you can get ambulance, police or fire intervention. We can also never forget the fanatical individuals that wanted to bring our country to it’s knees on 9/11. Plotting the destruction of landmarks and murder of innocent citizens for media attention and recruitment is sick. Thirdly, we’re familiar with the... Read more

I watch very little news. So sometimes the weather catches me off guard. Recently I even drove right up to a crime scene not far from my mom’s house because I just am not tuned in to that. It’s just so overwhelmingly negative and imbalanced that I’ve chosen to opt out. And as a self-proclaimed media mogul, I make it a part of my personal mission to counter those stories. I always want to spread the gospel through real life... Read more

Reflections With My Sisters

The Holy Scriptures say that a 3-fold cord is not easily broken. Well, imagine multiplying that times 8 and building up to a 25-fold cord. That is what I experienced this past weekend with a group of women that I now call my sisters. I don’t fully know how to express here what happened over a 3-day agenda of meetings, but what I will say is Charleston, South Carolina will never be the same and neither will anyone that came...

Giants aren’t just from New York. They don’t just live up the beanstalk. In fact one of the greatest of all time, at least in my opinion, is right up the street in Beech Island, South Carolina and he’s been here all of his life. I’m talking about my Spiritual Father Hezekiah Pressley, Jr. He’s the founder and Bishop of New Beginning Ministries. I decided to do this piece because I honestly feel like I owe him my life.
