I Am Uniquely Qualified

Wow!  This article was published in Metro Proponent January of this year.   5 Months later it's all coming into fruition-- every single thing I stated in this article.   Speak life and love into everything you do! There's power in words. Big changes are upon the horizon.  2014 has a lot in store for us.  I am speaking it and believing this into existence.  I hope and pray you do the same.   For me personally, I am ready to take a big leap of faith in hopes to finally walk into my purpose.  I don't want to chase money, beg for promotions, work holidays and continually sacrifice my peace and happiness for what other people think I should do.  When you really think about it, are you happy with where you are in your life?  If yes—that’s amazing!  If no, what’s holding you back? These are the questions I've asked myself every single day this year.  Some days it brought tears to my eyes because my answer ...

What a wonderful journey; 10 years in media. I started in radio as an intern while in college and now I'm leaving as a weather forecaster/reporter for a television station.  Who would've thought?! I am grateful for everything I've learned and every person I've met.  Some of it was super easy and fun, while other aspects to this business broke me down to my knees and left me in tears.  This business is not as glamorous and easy as some think.  As I look back at this journey I realize how uncertain life can truly be. At first, I took the radio jobs because I thought it was super cool to get paid for partying.  Then God entered my heart and it became difficult to joke and party when I knew I was supposed to be leading by example.  I walked into this business as a young, wild, sassy, party girl.  I am walking out as a classy, yet edgy, talented, woman.  I got a chance to grow up in this business and thank goodness I finally did! I a...

It’s stirring up inside, I can feel the discomfort.   It’s scary.   I know change is coming.   How do you prepare for it? When times get unbearable and you’re on the brink of major life changes, I found comfort in a few different areas and I want to share them with you.   First and foremost, dive into a life of prayer.   One way to do this is by waking up to prayer meditations.   At first I didn’t know what medication was, I didn’t understand how to do it.   Then I realized medication is solely focusing on one thing.   For example, when you worry about your bills, this means every thought typically wraps around money.   So medication is the same thing but you focus your thoughts on one positive thing.   When you wake up, open your bible and just read one verse.   Think about what the verse means.   What did God want you to take away from this verse?   What did this mean for lives back then and how can you apply the ...

Feeling warm sand between your toes at the beach Seeing a baby light up with a giant grin Getting a handwritten note in the mail Listening to your favorite music Warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies A magnificent sunrise or sunset Cuddling Good chocolate Holding hands Laughing until you nearly wet your pants Inside jokes Spending time with people you adore A cloudless sky Your favorite flower Getting a call or email from someone you love out of the blue Watching your favorite childhood TV show Singing loudly in the car Hugging your babies, no matter how old they are Stargazing at night Lying in bed listening to the rain Finding money you didn't know was in your pocket An icy glass of lemonade (or beer) on a hot summer day Getting a great parking space Sleeping in Fresh bed sheets Putting on clothes straight from the dryer A breathtaking view -- water, mountain, cityscape, forest, whatever A picnic Plump summer tomatoes Bodysurfing A fireworks...

  Through my personal trials and tribulations I have learned one thing- You need stored up ammunition to shoot down your enemy. When 2012 began I was slowly coming down from a natural high set by the year prior. 2011 was probably one of the best years of my life. I met and fell in love with a wonderful man. I felt feelings I never knew existed. I tasted true love and felt butterflies in my stomach you only hear about in love stories. It's fair to say the beginning of 2012 was somewhat of a twilight zone. The "Coming to Reality" part was difficult and I tackled my first set of road blocks empty handed. I was knocked down repeatedly, until I found myself in the bed with overwhelming feelings of hopelessness.   I prayed… Lord knows, I prayed.   During this time I learned when the devil tries to take you down you need bible ammunition to stop him in his tracks. I needed scripture versus as my weapons. You store up ammunition by spending time with God.   Somet...

We fail at wearing our problems on our sleeves at times.   We all face hardships, but there are only few who can smile through the storm.   I‘ve always admired people like this.   I sometimes wish I could have the strength to smile through adversity as they do.   Truth is I can and so can you. I guess the reason why I feel it’s impossible to do what others do so easily is because I’m viewing it through two different lenses.   When I see them happy and joyful in the face of an obstacle, I see it as strength.   When I have the opportunity to smile through my problems I look at it as being fake.   There’s a part of me that says, “Why smile? Your life is upside down”.   Rather than focus on negative situations in your life, choose to only see the positive.   Focusing on the bad parts of your life can eventually lead to depression.   Do not claim negative circumstances.   Make the choice to be happy.    We can al...
