Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings?
Abundance and blessings don’t only take the form of wealth. They come as knowledge, time, skills, influence, health, and even a kind word. Every single one of us has something to give. The question is, do we? Some people hoard their wealth, fearing it will run out. Others have wisdom but refuse to share it. […]
Pause, Rest and Resume
Take this as your reminder today to pause and rest. Burnout and exhaustion are real. However, the roles we play in life do not wait until our anxiety eases or the tiredness wears off. So it is up to us as individuals to take care of ourselves in the process. I’m a strong believer in […]
