We pedal through life day in & day out. We aim to make to the next moment, the next day, the next job assignment, the next level of achievement of achievement, etc. Where is the pause and reflect during those times? Is it even there?
Life is measured in time…but what happens when the time has run out?
What legacy/memories will you leave behind?
Lead a life attached to happiness, truth, and love no matter what form of opposition or hate may come your way.
The chances/opportunities that you are given are solely given to you, what are you doing with them?
Are you fearful of what could come? Are you waiting for the “right” and/or “perfect” time? If you are, please know that there is no such thing as an ideal time. THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW!
Live your life at the maximum level and you’ll never have fear of your own potential or what you perceive to be failure.
No one is going to chase you and hand you your dream. You must be willing to fight and make sacrifices. Make the changes that you need to get to the place that you want to be.
The next time that you fall down or get pushed down, what are you going to do?
Cry? Hide? Push back? Get up and fight with all of your might!
So what if you fly then come crashing down?! YOU FLEW!!!
“I’d rather put in the work and fail…”
“I’d rather reach for the stars and not hit them than to not aim at all.”
Psalms 37:4
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Why worry? If you have faith in God (or in yourself and works or the universe) then you know that you can and do anything that you put your all into.
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
If you are doing what you are passionate about and leading a life that is aimed at blessing others, you are living with your heart and mind. Bless others with the light that shines through you.
Be a public health advocate; heal yourself and take steps towards healing and bettering your community. Be a blessing to the world. Live a long, lovely, lively life.
Be blessed and be at peace.

If you wish to overcome your situation, moved beyond obstacles, and change your life, you must be able to acknowledge your circumstances and be willing to make the changes necessary to reach to the next level. You know who you are, now what will you do with that knowledge?
James 1:2-4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:12 “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
Be blessed and be at peace.

Emotion Shifting-Part 1
Do you ever feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and the rest of your day just doesn’t go right?
If you change your thought process in that first moment of anger, anxiety, or pure frustration, everything else will change too.
Take responsibility for your feelings, your life, and all of your actions.
If you change your thought process in that first moment of anger, anxiety, or pure frustration, everything else will change too.

Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
You’re human, not perfection… but you can create changes that shape your life and help you to become a better person.
One small change can make a world of a difference. Try it out and tell me what happens.

Overcoming the Storms in Your Life
What if you had the chance to step away from the depths of your despair?
What if you could overcome your darkest hour?
What if you could eliminate the very thing that plagues you?
What if God showed you that it could be done?…Would you do it?
Often we find ourselves questioning “What if?”
Our lives and our blessing are not built on what ifs and what abouts
We are not meant to live lives that are impacted and defiled by evil people and negative thoughts.
We are meant to lead blessed and abundantly lives that in-turn bless other people.
Ephesians 4:18 “They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.”
Why would you block your own blessings by consistently living in fear, pain, confusion and mediocrity?
Why you keep thinking that you already know the answer to your issue, when you have living a cycle of sadness, anger, and doubt?
You keep praying asking God to give you a sign and yet when that very sign is completely bright in neon lights flashing right in front of your face you ignore it.
Although the storms in your life may bring the thunder and rain, know that you will overcome them because you’ve already proven that you can.
2Timothy 2:23-24
“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.”
Stop arguing with those who taunt, bring negativity, and hurt you! You are only allowing it and hurting yourself. You know that you deserve better than that. So stop!!
Remember when you allowed someone to dim your light?
Remember when you let your significant other tell you that your dreams were too big?
Remember when you got that degree and how you kept getting denied a job?
Remember when that person showed you who they were and you made excuses for them?
Remember when you lost every material thing that you owned?
Remember when you lost that person that you loved so dearly, to death?
Remember when you spent your last dime so that your child could eat?
Everything that has plagued you have risen above it!
God has blessed you over and over again!
Do you see the signs now?
Do you see how your circumstances or a situation clouded everything?
God helps you through every situation. Why are you denying that you can break away from the very thing that is hurting you?
1 Peter 5:7
“Cast all of your anxiety on him because he cares for you”
Don’t you see? Everything that He has done for you before, in some way He will do it again if only you have faith and do what He calls you to do.
As I keep saying, please making excuses. You are not helping anyone by doing that, and you are stifling your life, your blessings, and the growth of your family.
Change your mindset so that you can change your life.
Be blessed and be at peace.

H-Habit
©KayLaN.Allen
When you get to the end of a road and you have make the decision to make a new habit or break the old habit, what do you do? If you’re wise, you’ll do both.
Breaking Bad Habits
We all have things that we would like to change. The most important thing to remember is that you have to want to change. Next, you have to eliminate negative people and surroundings that may make you miss out on your blessings. Lastly, break the tie that bind you. No one is holding you back except you! We’ve been over this. You can’t stop eating that fattening food and work out. You can go back to school, you’re not too old and yes it is for you. You can stop smoking. You can stop drinking. Stop wasting money. Whatever is plaguing you, you can stop doing it! We all face temptations. We all have habits; break away from what you’re facing if it is not good for you.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Making New Habits
Now that you’ve eliminated those bats in your closet, it’s time to make new habits. The most important thing in this is to make a routine. Get up work out, eat a healthy breakfast, do yoga… go to school/ work, eat lunch, continue your day, have a healthy snack, go for a walk, go home have a light dinner…

Plan your day from beginning to end and be consistent.
You have the power to do whatever you want. You don’t have to be stuck in never-ending cycle.
Think and know what you need from your life.
If what you’re doing isn’t working, stop doing it. Revamp your life and your thoughts.
You can do it, I believe in you.
Be blessed and be at peace.

What is stopping you from achieving your goals?
What do you bring to the table in you life/career?
What makes you-you?
What are your God-given talents that cannot be bought/taught?
What have you experienced in your life that has helped you begin to shape your future?
-The answers to these questions are what can eliminate those moments of self-doubt
and self-questioning!!

Psalms 139: 13-14 “For you formed my inward parts; you
knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” God created you to do great things and no weapon, no man, no
force, and no spirit can stop you from achieving your ultimate goals…only you can
stop you.
1 Chronicles 16:11 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek His face always.” Even in those moments of doubt…even when you are feeling weak there is a strength that lives inside of you. God can give you that peace that you are looking for. The Universe is in tune with your needs and concerns. Doubt won’t last and won’t be welcome in your life if you work hard to push it away.

not welcome in your life.

Dracunculiasis- The guinea worm is a large parasite that affects human and can cause dracunculiasis by migrating through body and eventually emerging. Symptoms include joint pain, swelling, fever, a burning sensation, muscle pain, ulcers, nausea and vomiting (WHO). Relief can be found via emerging the area in water, which also causes a release of larvae into the water; drinking from this water begins a new cycle of infection in whoever consume the water. The infected person can remain ill for months. There is no drug to prevention or heal the disease, but it is rarely fatal. Treatment include cleansing wound, gentle extraction over time, and topical antibiotics. This disease is common in areas of Africa. Prevention includes case containment, safe drinking water, health education, and vector control (CDC). Always pay attention to how you treat your body, seek help when needed, and remember that it is better to be educated and prepared than to have to treat.

To become stronger than you are, make changes in your life, or grow into who you are called to be you must first take inventory; everything happened for a reason, it is time to look a bit deeper into those reasons, from the beginning/root of it all.

God is a god of miracles, provision, new mercies, of support,
love, compassion, favor and deliverance. No matter how tough your situation may
be, know that God will carry you through ANY storm. You need only to trust him. The universe is in tune with your needs.
Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not
be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will
uphold you with my righteous right hand”
For those who may not believe in God, know that all things
work if you put your energy into the proper place. Things that you speak out
into the universe come to fruition. Difficult times do not last. Time and
change are inevitable, along with many things like growth and death. We cannot
change the way that things happen after we make a decision, but we can change
our outlook.
See the value in time and patience.
Challenge yourself to seek guidance from those with wisdom.
Feel that you are able to overcome anything; grow not Annoyed or Aggravated,
because although you may not be Able to see the sun during your storm a rainbow
is soon to come and you will see the light again.

Amebiasis: A disease caused by a parasite (E. histolytica). It is most common in areas where there is poor sanitation and in tropical areas; it is also more common in homosexual men. Coming in contact with food or water that is contamination by human feces from someone with an infection from E. histolytica; people can also directly swallow the eggs from the parasite from via contaminated surfaces or fingers (CDC). Symptoms include: loose stool and abdominal pain/cramping; symptoms present themselves in about 2-4 weeks. Diagnosis can be difficult as the parasite can look very similar to others, but blood tests can be recommended by a physician. Although people do not always become sick because of the infection, treatment and medications/antibiotics are available; only about 10-20% of people infected with the parasite become sick (CDC). Practice good hygiene to prevent spreading the infection. If you feel like something is wrong or or if your body is sending you signals, please seek a physician or healthcare provider. Healthy living starts inside.
