Day 14 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude and today I am grateful for peace. Peace that surpasses all understanding. As someone who strives to handle unexpected changes smoothly, peace doesn’t always come easy for me. I literally go through the stages of grief trying to process the loss of “what was." Like when COVID hit, my job was in jeopardy, and the volleyball seasons were cancelled and postponed. Shock of working from home and having no practice or games appeared. Denial about the severity of the situation surfaced. Anger that plans were cancelled arose. Bargaining that if “outside opened back up” I would always say yes to opportunities popped up. Extreme sadness for the loss of senior seasons, isolation, deaths, unemployment rates, travel bans, random weather (Buffalo often experiences all four seasons in one day) starters to take its toll. The list goes on and on. But it didn’t last long. I entered the stage of acceptance with an “it is what it is” mentality and just started taking it one day at time. Which really helped me stay calm. Appreciating each day. Honestly, only God could provide that level of peace amongst chaos. Cuz as we all know, 2020s been........ a year..... to say the least. So again I am so grateful for peace. And truly aiming to maintain or surpass that level of peace in all areas of my life for the rest of my life!!! So the questions for today are what do you do to be at peace? And What are you grateful for today? Let me know!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #mentalhealthadvocate #athleticlifecoach #athletemindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CHmF37WgEQq/?igshid=1d3cusywzn0ka

Day 12 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude. Today I am grateful for every door that was slammed shut in my face. (Might as well go ahead and be grateful for future closed doors lol) Because looking back, I now realize those rooms weren’t for me. I didn’t always have that mentality. I used to wallow in my woes. Got stuck in my sorrows. Obsessed over thoughts of not being good enough, smart enough, strong enough. Etc...If I didn’t have those doors closed, I’m not sure how I would have gotten to the level of confidence and perseverance I’m at now and growing to increase. I wouldn’t be where I am today. Today, you can’t tell me nothing! If I really want it, like gotta have, can’t live without it, I go and get it regardless of whoever and whatever stands in my way. My bounce back game is much quicker and stronger and getting better daily. Yes, sometimes I stumble a lil bit, but I keep aiming for my goals. That’s the definition of resilience and persistence. That’s an athletes mindset. Mindset of a winner! The only failure is not trying! And we don’t fail over here! PERIOD! Now, I don’t even have to knock on some doors. Dome doors are already opened to welcome me. And if they aren’t I’m fully prepared to kick down the door to show I deserve whatever opportunity it is I’m going after. And if that doesn’t work then I go find an open window.. That’s what I work on with my clients. Chasing dreams by any means! What are you grateful for today? Let me know! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifecoachinghappiness #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #athletemindsetcoach #mentalhealthadvocate #winnersmindset #failureisnotanoption #athletemindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CHg_UexALTd/?igshid=l2q8ccw0mh7b

Day 6 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude and I am grateful for the allies in my life and across the world. Today I had the pleasure of co-facilitating a cultural awareness group, hearing from people about what they would want in their agency regarding having a space to share, learn, and grow with and from each other’s experience. This is tough work. Trying to encourage people to look outside their own world view and engage in conversation about another persons perspective without judgement and intention for persuasion is not a walk in the park. But having a co facilitator, who speaks the same language (as far as thinking with a trauma informed care perspective), recognizes that RACISM is real, validates my and other peoples emotions regarding racial disparities and injustices, acknowledges her privilege and leverages it to educate others, speaks out against what’s wrong, challenges her colleagues to be more open minded, owns her mistakes... that’s the definition of an ally. And and I’m proud to have her and other allies in my life. What are you grateful for today? . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifecoachinghappiness #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #mentalhealthadvocate #gratefullifestyle #gratefulliving #ally #allyship https://www.instagram.com/p/CHRBvM5AKBN/?igshid=jzbm51obgrqw

Day 3 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude. Today I am grateful for my right to vote. With Americas history and CURRENT methods of voter suppression and other tactics used to disenfranchise black voters, I understand what a privilege it is to submit my ballot. It’s not just for me, but for my parents, grandparents, great grandma and my ancestors who fought for me to be able to do this. And it’s not just for those who came before me, but for those who are coming after me, my niece, my little cousins, my future children...I vote because my life, their lives, and our lives depend on it. I vote because I have the right to. I vote because my voice deserves to be heard. What are you grateful for today? . . . . . . . . . . . . #voteforchange #ivotedearly #soulstothepolls #soulstothepolls2020 #votewisely #votingismysuperpower #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #gratefullifestyle #gratefulliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIpnyPgB_4/?igshid=pwn4timdcdq7

Happy November! I pray that you and your families are well! I am walking into this month with a refreshed spirit and grateful heart. 2020 has truly taught me to be more appreciative. So over the next 21 days I am continuing to embrace an attitude of gratitude. Today, Day 1, I am grateful for my journey. Walking towards and in my purpose and helping my clients do the same. It isn’t easy, no one said it would be. But the lessons being learned along the way provide evidence that we are strong, resilient, and fully capable to handle anything that comes our way. These lessons are truly priceless!

What am I doing tonight for Halloween? Nothing🙅🏾‍♀️No taking kids trick or treating. No passing out candy. No volunteering. Just listening to my records and dancing in my living room (while doing laundry) lol I know it might sound lame and selfish but oh well🤷🏾‍♀️ I promise you I am perfectly fine with spending my Saturday night in the house. I’ll just call it my self care Saturday 😅Seriously though, movement is good for your mental health. So I hope you all bust a move at point tonight and stay safe. (COVID is still kind of still a thing). . . . . . . . . . #besafeoutthere #halloween2020 #selfcaresaturdays #selfcaresaturday #movingformentalhealth #danceformentalhealth #selfcareday #selfcareroutine #selfcarecoach https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBwsMeAL4Q/?igshid=1bb8toc1veo9j

How I started Day 3 of leadership training vs how I ended it 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I really am enjoying this training. It’s exhausting... in a good way. Lol Intrapersonal and Interpersonal work in leadership is essential, but also not for the faint of heart. You have to dig deep, but I’m grateful for this opportunity to develop skills and connect with other leaders of color. One thing I’ve practiced throughout my journey is giving myself grace as I’m learning and growing. It’s so easy to get caught up on mistakes, past mishaps, negative feedback, and comparison to others experiences. But I work hard to move past the discomfort of making mistakes quickly to learn whatever lesson needs to be learned and use it to do better next time. To me that is a quality of leadership. The ability to mess up, move on, and do better. A commitment to growth. And then passing on what I’ve learned to others. What about you? What’s something you’ve learned or practice on your growth journey? 👀👀👀 . . . . . . . . . . #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalwellbeing #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #lifecoach #purposecoach #leadership #leadershipmindset #mistakesarelessons #learnfromyourmistakes #growandlearn #growanddevelop #socialworker #counselor #motivationalquotes #inspiration #motivation #inspirationalquotes #positivevibes #positivity https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5qeW6gmIQ/?igshid=17vhb3owse90k

Good Morning! I hope you all woke up ready to seize the day! Mondays seem to get a bad rep for being the worst day since it cuts off the weekend lol but it’s really all perspective. I’ve decided to be positive about Monday and set my intentions on having a great day, prepping for the week ahead, getting back into my workout routine, drinking more water, engaging in this leadership training, and being productive. Let me know.. what have you set your intentions on today or this week? . . . . . . . #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalwellbeing #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #lifecoach #socialworker #counselor #haveagreatweek #begreat #motivationmonday #mondaymotivation #motivationalquotes #inspiration #monday #motivation #inspirationalquotes #positivevibes #positivity #positivequotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CGz2azNAwhX/?igshid=mtrc4x3yymmh

How do you know an apple tree is an apple tree? It grows apples Duh! It bears the fruit that it was made to share. But what if the apple tree produced no apples? It will no longer serve the purpose of its creation. Sure there may be some benefits but what good is being an apple tree if you don’t have apples. So what about you? Are you bearing fruit? Or are you an apple tree with out apples? Are you walking in the fullness of your purpose or are you settling for the alternative benefits? These are things I help my clients sift through. Me personally... I try to harvest, bear, and share the spiritual fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control daily! What are you bearing and sharing? 👀👀👀 #purposecoach #lifecoach #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalhealth #healthiswealth #mentalhealthadvocate #bearfruit #socialworker #counselor #inspiration #motivation #inspirationalquotes #selfreflection https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtJ4SDgoSK/?igshid=1nsd2bzy65av1

Changes happen. New seasons happen. It’s an inevitable part of life that we sometimes have no control over. How you think about what’s going on and who walks with you through these changes is really up to you. I am grateful to have had people in my corner throughout the changes and different seasons of my life. I am also grateful for learned lessons from people who are no longer in my life. But I am extremely grateful to be the person to help others navigate through changes and different seasons. I love being the person I always knew I needed, to process things, cry through things, laugh through things, and handle everything life dishes out. Do you have someone like that in your life, to just talk it out, walk it out, and help you through tough times? If the answer is yes, let me know who that person is and why they are important to you 👀👀. If the answer is no, well then it sounds like you need to chat with me. You don’t have to go through seasons alone! So stop and let someone journey with you. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalwellbeing #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #endthestigma #lifecoach #socialworker #counselor #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnkEdgnrOW/?igshid=uy5ov0h7ypvj

Today, as I checked in on myself, I identified what felt like an old familiar feeling that I thought I was over a long time ago.... FEAR.. it just crept up ...Fear of failure...fear of rejection...fear of loneliness...fear of what others are thinking or saying about me... but most of all, fear of success...it really didn’t last long but I had to acknowledge what I was feeling. So I did a breathing exercise, wrote out exactly how I felt, reframed these thoughts, and wondered to my bookshelf to find “Soothe Your Nerves: The Black Woman’s Guide to Understanding and Overcoming Anxiety, Panic and Fear” by Dr. Angela Neal-Barnet (cuz my nerves needed a little soothing). So far, I appreciate the art of story telling mixed with psychological information on issues that most people can relate to like stress, trauma, depression social anxiety, and unhealthy coping behaviors..etc..and I’m only on chapter Two lol. Annnnnnywho...... Have you you checked in with yourself today?. Tell me how you’re feeling and how you’re managing your emotions. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthday #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalwellbeing #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #itsoktonotbeok #endthestigma #lifecoach #socialeworker #counselor #selfcare #wellnesswednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CGWEnR3gTG8/?igshid=6qtst8lxwd4q
