Battle of the Minds......💭💭

Today or should I say this week has been very challenging for me...Most challenges or problems that are faced usually involves another person..Sadly I must say that my challenge only involves me ,myself,and I.
???????
Yes this may pose a question mark for some but if you have ever battled with feelings of inadequacy or doubt,then you know exactly what I mean.
Today I found myself surprisingly doubting and second guessing myself and my abilities.As a new chapter  in a personal piece of my life may possibly be having some changes ,that are actually for the better, that old devil used my mind to cause me to have conflict with myself..
I began to tell myself that I wasn't good enough or that I won't be a good fit for that particular situation. Immediately all of my issues,past pain,and flaws that were meant to break me and cause me to fail were reintroduced into my thoughts and I can  honestly say that for a brief moment I began to live that hurt and pain all over again...
I found it shockingly amazing how that old devil tried to enter my mind and how I almost allowed him to have victory....
Sometimes our biggest battles are with SELF.....This is so true...
Even when you don't have anyone to cheer you on or encourage you, if you can turn on that I can and I will mindset and also do your part to work at what you can ,then you will succeed.
I wrote this blog today as therapy,healing and release for myself but as always, I hope to have encouraged someone else.
Be blessed....

Stay woke....

I'm sure most of you have heard the phrase "stay woke.." In my experience it has referenced people being aware of their culture,their history,their surroundings and or things that are occurring around them that may or not be right..
My spirit was opened up to receiving this in a totally different way,and I would love to share and elaborate on that.
My question is Are you woke?
Are you woke to knowing and recognizing your purpose? Are you woke to your inner being of being aware and recognizing those things that are hindering you from being your best?
Some of us have so much potential but because we are not "woke" we don't recognize it..We continue to go through life in the same circle..making the same mistakes and allowing ourselves to hinder our growth..Instead of learning and growing from any pain,disappoinment,hardships,and or failures,we allow ourselves to become a victim to it mentally. I myself went through this period where mentally I held all my pain in....I experienced a period of anxiety and depression...I'm grateful for God's deliverance from that stronghold at that time..From that period and on,I felt
as if I was finally "woke" ,aware, and able to embrace my flaws...
"Stay Woke"

Strong , Independent, & Resilient 

 

 

 

Strength....there's more to it than just the physical...Anyone can train hard to acquire physical strength...But mental strength is another strength within itself.. Having a strong mind isn't something I can say is taught in school, but I can say that it is taught by life. ...

Life has a fond way of knocking you down and making you pick up the pieces . It will make you have no option but to put on  your big boy pants  or big girl panties and just.....DEAL.

Two choices....either you deal or you get dealt with....your choice. Neither of the two will be easy. Why?

 

Well let's see.... If you deal, then you have to prepare yourself both mentally and physically for the challenges of life. I agree they are not all easy lessons, but I can say that the growth during this process is challenging yet amazing. As you go through the valleys and over mountains, the back window mirror view of that time of your life shows your compelling effort of beating your odds and overcoming adversary.

On the other hand, if you choose to not deal....then you will never  get to see your resilience. Not only will you not see your resilience in hind site, but you will never amount to the best you. You won't have the opportunity to be at your best potential. You won't have the opportunity to look back over your life challenges and see how you were able to overcome them..

I am grateful and happy to say that I have been blessed with the spirit and backbone to have a mindset to want and to overcome and achieve greatness.  I am who I am because of the challenges.

I am happy to say, I Am Me, iMe™!!!!

God made me Beauty-full

The title of this post is inspired by a book I read as a young girl by Terri McFadden.
It's a book aimed a young African American girls about self esteem. I read it as a youth with other teen girls , and I have since shared it with my own daughter. It's a great read.
I love the title of her book because it can be applied to so many people .
I recently experienced an acquaintance of mine feel very embarrassed about a mental condition she was fighting.....Depression.....
She eventually opened up to me about it and me being me ,I prayed over her,for her,and tried being there for her in whatever way I could. Had she not opened up to me, I honestly could not say I could see any depression signs when I was with her....
With this being said....It goes to show and prove that you never know how your actions may effect someone because you never know what someone is going through....
I agree that God made us all Beautiful....and will continue to uplift,empower,and motivate people to be the best version of themselves in spite of any circumstances.....

iMe Melanated & Educated Part 1

 Being educated and aware is a beautiful thing. However, unfortunately, in such an ignorant and demeaning world, it is not an expected quality  of everyone.  Chauvinism goes so many ways. It's not just a male/ female thing. It goes so many ways. It occurs in many job atmospheres. It occurs in many races. Sadly, it's real.

    I choose to elaborate on my experiences with chauvinism. The first issue is that I am a young African American woman. The second issue is that I am educated. The third issue is that I am confident. The fourth issue is that I am opinionated.
   SOOO
 Being a young , educated, opinionated, African American woman sums up to INTIMIDATION for some.
WHY? Don't ask me, I am the receiver of the issue, not the giver?

I feel it is important to educate yourself . You have been given the opportunity to receive education, to better yourself, to be better, so why not make the best of that opportunity???
Now I do feel that there is a big difference between being educated and being a smarty....you know that arrogant,cocky,SOB...yes I said it and yes there's a difference.


To be continued on part 2...

Remain Humble.....

             Remaining humble is easily said than done. It takes a lot of self discipline and prayer. I honestly don't think I could do it without prayer. One of the hardest things for me to do in life is being strong for others even when I feel like I want to break. My family is my weakness. Racism has been around awhile and sadly it still lives. It saddens me how people can pass this disgusting trait down to their kids.
     It's very real and unfortunately my daughter has dealt with this during her middle school years.She is a very beautiful ,intelligent,and confident dark skin young lady. I can and will elaborate on this more in a future blog, but I needed to touch basis on this just a little to have a point of reference for today's blog. My point is that as I grow and learn more, it's easier for me to overlook negativity and ignorance, but it's harder for me to see my children having to learn to deal with it. As a child, my dad told me that there will always be ignorant people...I understood what he was saying, but I have a better understanding now. I have also had to tell my kids this. 

     We all have an option as to how we respond to ignorance . I will admit, that I have responded and was one of those persons who responded in a not so loving way. However, as you grow, you learn that there is a better way to respond. I am instilling this better way into my kids at a young age because sadly they have faced ignorance at a young age.Sadly I have been on the receiving end of hateful words as an adult,and I'm happy to say that I've grown into a more mature person to be able to handle those situations in a mature way.
    Although some of life's experiences and challenges weren't so fun during the time, I now can see and understand the purpose of them. I thank God for keeping me during those hard times. I am grateful for those challenges bringing me into a more humble person. ~iMe~

A Deeper Look Into iMe

                 

       My life's experiences are what inspired my saying iMe. At one point in my life I was emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually drained from all my life's experiences and from what I saw as failures , flaws, and mistakes. I had to pick myself up and remind myself that I am beautiful in spite of what I have been through. I did a lot of praying and soul searching to find my inner peace. I am grateful for the woman I have become and I can now teach my daughter to be that same strong and beautiful young lady and also teach my son to be confident in himself in spite of what life throws at us. All of my apparel has a strong meaning behind it, and I am happy to be able to share them with others. I hope to remind others of their uniqueness and beauty that they have within themselves .
