The lack isn’t always in what’s available, it’s in what we’ve convinced ourselves we can have. What if the next level doesn’t require more, but requires us to release the limits we placed on ourselves? Make room for what’s already trying to reach you.

This week, I stepped outside my comfort zone to attend a nonprofit networking event where I made valuable connections, created my first Fourthwall product (launching soon!), and celebrated a 5-star Google review for my nurse consulting business. Being part of this community has ignited something in me! I’m so grateful, and so proud to call myself a Purpose Pusher! 🙏🏽😀 Go Bucs! 🏴‍☠️

Today I had a nice long talk with someone very special. They literally were the definition of “we listen we don’t judge” 😂😂 when I tell you sometimes all you need is a listening ear, with genuine advice, & someone that exudes concern you will feel so much lighter. We had no idea we would have a long talk, but it was so therapeutic to my heart. Don’t bottle up everything because eventually you’ll explode. Release what you’ve been carrying, holding onto, what you’ve buried in your core.

If I’m honest, the storm in this season feels more like a downpour. My girls have been sick, my car is out of commission, and while I’m holding on, I’ve definitely prayed, “God, okay… can this pass already?” 😅🙏🏾 Tony Gaskins said, “You don’t have to sprint through every storm!” Whew. I needed that reminder. I’m learning to take this season one day at a time to care for my girls, receive help, rest when I can, and bring my honest feelings to God. I can trust Him and still be tired. I can be grateful and still want relief. Today, embracing the storm looks like giving myself grace while I walk through it. One prayer. One breath. One next step. God is with me here, too. 🤎 What would giving yourself grace look like today?

You can’t keep stumbling over what God already brought you through. What’s behind you taught you, and what’s beneath you built you, but neither is where you’re meant to stay. Take the lesson, leave the weight, and keep climbing. 🧗 And listen… I’m talking to MYSELF because I’ve been a little WEAK lately and tempted to peek in that rearview mirror. 😮‍💨 But I’ve read about Lot’s wife, and baby, I do NOT have pillar-of-salt aspirations! 🧂😭 If you’ve been tempted to revisit something God brought you out of, you’re not alone. We can do this! Eyes forward!! What’s ahead has too much potential to keep romanticizing what’s behind us. Somebody please post “DON’T DO IT, SIS!!!” in the comments! I need some STRENGTH! 😬 😂 💪🏾
