Forgiveness is one of the most important lessons any human being will ever learn in their lifetime, and simultaneously one of the hardest things any human being will ever have to do. As many times as I have heard why is it is so important to forgive many have failed to mention that forgiveness is actually an art. An art that requires finesse. Forgiveness is tricky because it is somewhat of an illusion. For example, if I were to ask you what is the first step in forgiving someone who has done you wrong your answer might be: “After an apology.” However, what if I told you that the first pla ..read more

Life can sometimes  be a sucker punch right to the gut. The kind that knocks the wind right out of you and leaves you gasping for air on the verge of tears.

Everyone wants super smooth perfect legs, but lets be honest, sometimes it’s not that easy to achieve. Strawberry skin is when tiny little dots appear on the skin that resemble the tiny seeds on a strawberry. We all hate them, and we all want to get rid of them, so I am here to show you how! Lets Start With The Main Causes: Sometimes the little black dots are actually Enlarged Pores. Enlarged pores are caused by an excess of oil in the pores. Too much oil can not only clog your pores but also trap in bacteria and dead skin. The darkening of these enlarged pores happen when pores and air ..read more

This is one of those things that everyone deals with but no one ever really talks about. There is not one person on this earth that has not dealt with rejection in one form or another. So why is such a prevalent issue, and the main cause to so many other issues, just being swept under the rug or accepted as a normal part of life? Because rejection is like a parasite; its main goal is to live inside of you and thrive on your detriment while it uses everything you have in you to fuel its life cycle. Everything that has ever been created was created with a purpose, or a reason for being here, it ..read more

Now comes the hard part; dealing with those feelings of rejection. Everyone has their own personal experiences, and deal with those experiences differently, but it is important to keep in mind that what ever feelings those experiences may bring, although they are very real, are also fleeting and subject to change, and the only person that is truly in control of your feelings is you. For me dealing with rejection was coming to terms with the fact that I was so full of negativity, self pity, unhealthy emotions and bad habits and I knew I could not continue to nurture those things if I wanted to ..read more

It’s funny how you don’t have to wonder what people think of you anymore these days, unwanted opinions are given out freely unsparingly. Yes, many have never mastered the art of staying in their own lane, but yet have 3 P.H.D.s in sticking their noses were it does not belong. There are so many that feel as though they can live your own life better than you can and I’m sure they all know them well; the one who are so quick to say: “I think you should;” “If you ask me;” “Well, if it was me I would;” No matter how sure you are of yourself, or what you are doing, those opinions can be jolting and ..read more

I love how so many Christians forget to tell you that this walk of faith is sometimes less like a walk and more like the Hardrock 100-mile Endurance Run. Don’t get me wrong, I love God with all my heart and soul, but recently I went through a period where I found that my faith was really being tested. The thing is that my faith means everything to me and I feel like I am nothing without it. It’s what gives me purpose, hope and is basically my reason to live. So I am sure you can imagine how the fact that I found myself struggling with my faith was something that shook me. I felt as if I was fi ..read more

I’ve been there. That feeling of not wanting to exist. To lose the will to even take another breath and the only thing you want to do is “check out.” I’m so glad I didn’t check out. The thing is no, one is privalidge enough to escape from how hard life can get at times. Life actually favors no one. Deep down inside I was crying for help. For someone to see me. So often people feel as if they are alone and that no one understands or even cares about what they are going through. Some may even feel as if they are not worthy enough of a chance at living. They could not be more wrong. You have purp ..read more
