What is Your Biggest Challenge Right Now?
What is Your Biggest Challenge Right Now?
Some time ago, I asked the ladies in my Let’s Talk Community what they were struggling with at the time. At the time, I was struggling with staying still before the Lord. Here’s what my Let’s Talkers shared with me: “Same challenge. Life is busy right now with a lot to do for ministry. And it seems I haven’t yet found the right balance.” “I’ve just come out of a long term relationship and its…

This World is Crazy...What Keeps You Sane, Grounded and Focused
This World is Crazy…What Keeps You Sane, Grounded and Focused
A few weeks ago, I asked the ladies in my Let’s Talk Community, what keeps them sane, grounded and focused.

Worship” “My family keeps me focused – knowing that I do what I do for them is a BIG motivator.” “Rest, Trusting God, Prayer,…

Traits of Great Leaders
Traits of Great Leaders
This one is for women who are in leadership positions or are aspiring to be in leadership positions. I never in my life dreamed I would lead other people. It was never an ambition, desire or a goal. In fact, I still prefer to be on a team or working behind the scenes. But I’ve always had to lead in my capacity as a commissioned officer in the US Navy. It taught me a lot about it means to be an…

What to Do When Your Boss Does NOT Like You
What to Do When Your Boss Does NOT Like You
If you’ve never worked for someone who dislikes or even hates you, congratulations. But really, I can’t offer you a sincere congratulations on that because chances are – unless you’ve had the same boss your entire working life – you have had a boss who couldn’t stand you. And since that’s the case and you believe you haven’t had one that hates you, we’ll need to talk another time about emotional…

It’s February 8, which means that Valentine’s day is right around the corner.

And this article is going to talk about a fictional character who is like so many of us – like YOU perhaps –…

How to Overcome Character Assassination at Work
How to Overcome Character Assassination at Work
I once had a conversation with a co-worker about perceived unfairness at work. He confirmed my perception and then told me “Well, the number one way to take out a threat is through character assassination”. Then it made perfect sense as to why two people in particular seemed bent on doing and saying things to put me at a disadvantage. It wasn’t the first time it had happened. In fact, several…

Why Your Spiritual Life is Dead Without Fervent Prayer
Happy New Year! If you struggled through 2015 and you want 2016 to be better, I’m going to share a personal secret to something that changed my own life before the end of 2015. If you want your 2016 to take off, the best way to make sure it does is to PRAY. And make sure that you consistently engage in FERVENT prayer.

Don't Be Mary Jane (Even Though You Probably Love Her)
Don’t Be Mary Jane (Even Though You Probably Love Her)
The holidays are among us and I can think of fewer things that are harder to come to terms with during this season other than believing you are all alone in this world and that no one cares about you. What made me realize this was watching the first few episodes of Being Mary Jane. Despite her flaws and poor choices, we can all agree that when it comes to having a great career and a wonderful…

4 Things Single Christian Women Desiring Marriage Should Pray About
4 Things Single Christian Women Desiring Marriage Should Pray About
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6 I saw the movie The War Room last month the weekend after it came out.

Young, Christian and Woman! (Dating, Loving God and Finding Your Way in Today’s World)
Young, Christian and Woman! (Dating, Loving God and Finding Your Way in Today’s World) by Selassie Ami Torkornoo
I entered into University very hopeful and nervous at the same time. I had a very shielded life. My parents were very protective of us especially the girls. They were the kind who would prefer our friends coming over to we going to visit. Thanks to my dad, for sometime I had an…
