My Buddy
Do you remember singing "My buddy...my buddy...wherever I go...he goes..."?
I do. My favorite part of the tune was "my buddy and me".
Why?
Because the presence of my buddy gave me a sense of security and empowered me to push forward when things seemed dim and gloomy.
In life, everything does not always look good; but that does not mean that what you experience can not work together for your good. Unlike the My Buddy doll that we carried with us as children, there is a friend who sticks closer to us than a brother. His name is Jesus. Know that you always have a "buddy" with you.
This time your buddy has the power to assist you, so go after the big dreams knowing that you are moving as a member of the winning team. This is not the time to throw in the towel and quit. This is the time to seek direction and connect with those who will assist you in your effort to pursue the dreams that God has given to you.
Will you embrace the royal you by pursuing big dreams with your buddy today?

Float for Life
Have you ever been afraid to swim?
I was terrified of swimming.
Like most things that we fear intensely, there is typically some form of trauma attached to the fear. When I was a teenager, I went to Rouge Park swimming pool. Like everybody else present, I was having fun until someone got the bright idea to toss me into the deep end of the pool.
I could not swim!
I felt like I was drowning! Suddenly, someone pulled me out of the water. The guy that threw me into the water apologized stating that he thought I could swim. However, my ears hit the mute button with regards to his excuses for throwing me in the water. Immediately, I screamed at him until I got tired. I was so mad that I wanted to fight that guy, but one of my friends helped me to calm down.
From that day forward, I was terrified of swimming, but I loved to relax by water. I loved the water so much, that I would take my nieces, nephews and God-children to waterparks and watch them enjoy the water. Consistently, I said things like "Be careful. Don't go to far. Stay close to the edge of the pool etc". One day, my nephew desired to learn how to swim so that he could play with my other nephews that knew how to swim, but because of how I would yell whenever he moved away from me to a space that I could not personally get to him, he started to be afraid of the water, even when my sister - who was a great swimmer - would say to him "Just relax. I have you."
In that moment, I noticed that I was passing down my unhealed trauma to him. I realized that I needed to do something about this fear of swimming. Like a determined investigator, I researched places that offered swimming lessons and signed up for the lessons. During my first day of training, I told my instructor that I was terrified of swimming because I almost drowned. I also told him that I was there to learn because I wanted to help my nephew not be afraid of the water. One of the first things that the instructor said to me was that he was always with me and he would not let anything happen to me. The first task he gave me was to put my head under the water and hold my breath for as longs as I could hold it. With my feet securely on the pool floor, I did pretty decent with this task; however, when he was teaching me how to float backwards, I failed miserably!
Not being able to see where I was going, feel my feet on the pool floor etc triggered me to consistently attempt to catch myself. Each time I attempted to control where I floated to etc, I would began to sink. It wasn't until I completely surrendered to the act of floating and allowed the water to carry me while I looked up, that I actually floated from one end of the pool to the other without sinking.
The next time I took my nieces, nephews and God-children to the waterpark, I encouraged my nephew to allow my sister to teach him and I got in the water with him. He branched out and continued to practice until he eventually learned how to swim. We celebrated his accomplishment. I could not help but to notice that when I made up my mind to overcome fear, that also freed those I love from it. Somethings should not be passed down; but aggressively annihilated.
Today, I encourage you to fully trust God by floating in Him. Keep your head positioned in such a way that your eyes are constantly looking up. Learning how to float in God will cause a domino affect on your life and those attached to you. Embrace the royal you by floating today and see greater results in your life and those attached to you. It's time to float.

Everyone Can't Handle It
When we lose a loved one, sometimes our lives resemble these pots. The fiery damage (such as loss of income, family drama etc) caused by the loss of the loved one can cause us to internally "boil" to such an extent that if we fail to properly deal with our grief, it spills out on others and damages everything that it touches.
Although, we know that it is important to deal with our grief properly, sometimes, we are tempted to share the rawest of our emotions with everyone via social media or those we come in contact with. In the moment, the release may feel good, but when close friends unfollow you, family and friend relationships become strained it does not feel good. Ask me how I know.
In 2020, when my husband died from Covid-19 after five months of marriage, I was devastated! Sometimes, I took pictures of myself in the moment of a tearful moment and posted it online. At the time, I kept reciting in the mirror that I was getting up from this broken place. However, I wanted to show people that it is ok to cry because tears are a form of release.
Immediately following the posting of the picture, I received a few inbox messages from people stating things such as "Please don't post things like that because I come to your page to be uplifted and inspired". I also had people unfriend and unfollow me. I also received messages from others that stated that my authentic pictures let them know that it was ok for them to go through the grieving process without having to wear a mask.
I remember being shocked and appalled by these statements from those who were upset about my pictures. One day, I spoke to a group of my good friends about what I was experiencing. To my surprise, one of my sisters said to me "Sis, you really can't be mad at them for stating why they come to your page. Everyone can't handle the magnitude of what you are going through. For years, your page has always been about uplifting, sharing information, business etc. To be fair, you are always smiling on your photos and people never seen this side of you." Her words cut me like a knife going through a tough steak. With every "jagged" cut from the words that were shared, I saw things differently. As a result, I was able to give those who unfriended or unfollowed me grace.
I shared this to tell you that if you are dealing with grief following the loss of a loved one, you have a right to heal while writing but the venue of your healing may need to shift because everyone can not handle your brokenness. When Jesus went to pray that "this cup pass from me" he only took three people. He did not take all of his disciples. There are groups on Facebook filled with people who may be dealing with grief and they openly share where they are in that safe space. Join those groups and feel free to write your post there until you are ready to write your story. Healing through writing starts as small steps that lead to a glorious destination. You can do this. It's time to embrace the royal you.
If you are ready to write your story, I encourage you to attend the Clarity in the Pen conference in October. Visit bit.ly/CIPconference to register. Enter coupon code RCVCIP1 by 8/31/23 to save 20%. See you there!

Somethings have happened to you and some things have happened through you. No matter what has happened, choosing to function with a victim mentality hurts you and those connected to you.

"I need to write my story," Erica said to Jamie while they were watching TV.
"Girl, you have been saying this for 10 years now. When will you do it?" - Jamie asked.
Immediately, Erica gave Jamie a list of over 10 reasons why she can't write her story right now. Jamie responded by turning up the volume on the television and continuing to watch TV.
Are you operating like Erica by giving excuses for failing to take any steps towards writing your story despite feeling lead to do so?
Why are you procrastinating? What are you afraid of?
The longer it takes you to write your story, the longer those who need to heard the solutions that are in your story will not be able to receive them. The longer it takes you to write your story, the longer you will have to wait to receive over seven streams of income from one book.
Decide to take one step on your writing journey today by scheduling a free 15 minute consultation with Latresa Rice - your Certified Mindset Coach. I have written and published my story. Now it is your turn. Let me help you. Visit https://royalclarityview.as.me/

When you are struggling to believe again due to consistent disappointments, it is important to listen to or read devotionals that relate to what you are dealing with and connect with someone who believes in the spoken word and can pray you through your current struggle. Some friendships are more valuable than you can ever imagine. I thank God for real friends. Know that you are not alone. Someone loves you and they are rooting for you to come out of this. #royalclarityview #realfriends #biblestudytime https://www.instagram.com/p/CiK5YLmMqzZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Does it feel like every time you take two steps forward, you get knocked back five steps? Does it seem like everything that could go wrong did go wrong? I encourage you to laugh your way free from frustration. Laughter is good for the soul. Sometimes, the best gift that you can give yourself is laughter. Don’t focus on the negative, find the positive in each situation you encounter and find something to laugh about today. As you embrace the “royal” you, things will change. Are you ready to shift your thinking, grow, and prosper? I am. Let’s go! #royalclarityview #laughmore #laughmoreworryless https://www.instagram.com/p/ChsA_YRO1g3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I just can’t do it”, “I’ve never written a book before,” “Nobody close to me has published a book”, “Confronting my past is just too hard,” etc All of these statements cause you to procrastinate and potentially miss an opportunity that God has designed for you to be free, heal and much more. Today, I encourage you step into the unknown territory of writing. Your story will help others in ways you may never realize while simultaneously releasing you. We know that what the enemy has stolen must be returned to you 100 fold, but what if you are blocking God’s method of sending you the return? What if by procrastinating you are blocking yourself from experiencing inner peace? It’s time to get out of your own way and soar! What do you have to lose? Take the brave step today.

😃 Allergy Doctor (this past Tuesday): “Yayyy Ms. Rice! You are finished with your lowest dosage (1-100,000)! The next time you come, you will be going to the next level (1-10,000) with regards to your dosages. Now, I must tell you that you are probably going to need ice packs after these series of shots because the dosage is increasing. See you Thursday!” 😳 Me: “Ok”. She was happy, but I was not! I almost didn’t show up to the allergy clinic today. I had gotten used to receiving the smaller dosages due to the fact that I was starting to be able to deal with the burning feeling in my arms afterwards. Now, I have been informed that the next level will require more from me to actually break free. Maybe you are like me and you got used to living with the pain that you were experiencing and you are contemplating dodging enduring the next level of unpacking that pain as you travel along your healing journey to wholeness. I encourage you to be bold and very courageous. You can get through this! Although the next level presents its own set of difficulties, you have everything you need to overcome them. Go knowing that you are empowered to win this battle. #royalclarityview https://royalclarityview.as.me https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIpcJNJb0_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have you ever asked yourself “What am I doing all of this for?” I have. At the moment I asked myself this question, I felt like quitting. Quit working on my businesses. Quit working to improve my relationships with others. Quit working in ministry. Quit writing books and the story goes on and on. In order to come to the conclusion that “quitting” was not the solution to the problems that I was experiencing, I had to look at the total picture regarding why I was feeling overwhelmed. It wasn’t the business or ministry that was the problem, it was “me” failing to delegate when necessary or get help when needed. It wasn’t the books, it was “me” setting unrealistic deadlines to complete the books. The only person that you can change is “you”. Today, I encourage you to review the total picture before you make the decision to quit. Think about what impact quitting will have on you, those connected to you and those who you are called to serve. Think about how you can make small changes that will help you avoid quitting. Sometimes, quitting is not the solution, but an instant bandaid to the gaping problem that you must address in order to actually be effective (Examples of the problem that you must address include: lack of engagement in self-care or failure to kill perfectionism). #royalclarityview #renewedmindset #stopquitting #YouAreNecessary https://royalclarityview.as.me/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzSaanO9u1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
