Overcoming Judgment Against You

Overcoming Judgment Against You

From birth until the end of the human existence, there will always be someone judging you. These people can be your family, friends, supporters, coworkers, significant others, and everyone in between.


The people that judge us are out on a mission, but what that mission is isn’t for us to understand or break apart. 


Although judgment can be painful when on the receiving end, how you move beyond it is so much more important.


People can see things and choose to make their own opinions about you without trying to understand the actual meaning of what they see…and that’s perfectly fine.


Your job in all of this is to remember that you are more than what you seem to be to others. You must remember that you are made in God’s image; you are uniquely made and full of beauty and love. 


If someone makes you out to be someone that you aren’t, you just need to remain true to yourself.


Like many say ‘let your haters be your motivators’… you can take that pain or disappointment that you feel and use it for something greater. Allow that pain to give you power and a better vision of who you really are. You matter and all that you bring to the world is wonderful and perfect, just as it is.


No matter how loud the roar of negativity from others’ false judgment is, treat it as though it is even louder applause for the amazing person that you are becoming and/or have become.


The universe is in you, the higher power that you believe in (God, in my case) is within you…do you know what that means? No judgment formed based on evil/negativity can be housed within you-unless you let it. You encompass power, strength, love, inner beauty, and so much more.


Romans 8:28 
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” You have favor in and on your life: God has granted you so many beautiful things, there is nothing that any negativity can do to you if you believe in the power surrounding you and the positivity in your corner.  Every thing can and will work in your favor if you keep pushing forward and learn from what others’ negativity is presenting to you.


Proverbs 14:7-8
“Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips. The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” If you allow a person to house your power and your happiness because of what they say and/or feel about your or anything in life, then they win. It is up to you to challenge that negativity in your mind and walk away from the person releases that negativity into your environment. 


I encourage you to take a moment to look deeper into who you are and who you are called to be. Remember that there will continue to be evil-doers that seem to seep into your world. You must have strength inside of yourself to oversee it all and not allow it to shake your life.


You overcome this judgment by knowing who you are. You overcome this judgment by remembering that the words from others can be merely a reflection of their own insecurities/issues. You overcome this judgment by becoming even better than what you already are.


If judgement comes your way, simply say this in your mind: Judge me if you must, but know that your thoughts/opinions will not deter my path toward greatness, successes, prosperity, or abundance. I have favor in every aspect of my life and you cannot dim my light.


Let the negativity be blown away by your growth and understanding of who you are called to be.

Hepatitis A: This foodborne illness is a liver infection caused by the Hep A virus. Food and/or water can contain the virus via the presence of human waste. The illness can last between a few weeks and several months. There is a vaccine to prevent this, but there are thousands that are still affected by Hep A annually in the U.S. Some people get Hep A when doing out of the country traveling. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine, yellow skin/eyes, tiredness, and fever. Hepatitis A is highly contagious and it can be spread even if symptoms are not physically present. Wash your hands thoroughly and often. There are two doses required to prevent Hep A. Pay attention to what your body is telling you and get the help that you need when you need it-sooner than later.


Be blessed and be at peace.

Overcoming Abuse

Overcoming Abuse

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH
©KayLaN.Allen


This is one that truly hits home for me, as I endured physical and mental abuse in my past. I saw this blog as an opportunity to be completely open and vulnerable with you. I know that you may be experiencing this now, or may be moving beyond that pain and I am going to give you some insight, love, and support during this time.


Feeling pain from physical abuse, mental/emotional abuse, or verbal abuse can hurt and plague your life with stress, anxiety, depression, and countless triggers. I know your pain and I know your feelings, and I want to help you get through it and help you take back your life.


If you are still in an abusive relationship/friendship or in a seemingly abuse work relationship, you need to take inventory on your life. 


Abusive Personal Relationships
Intimate: Although a person may say that they did not mean it or it will not happen again, remember that it should not have happened at all. Don’t let them take you out of character or make you change your view of yourself. Remember that you are made in God’s image and you can be anything that you want to be in life; don’t let anyone’s thoughts/behaviors hold you hostage. If someone says that no one else will want you, remember that there are billions of other people in the world and if you were only meant to be with one person you would have been assigned them/physically connected to them at birth. You are handsome/You are beautiful and there are many others who would feel lucky to have someone like you to love because of all that you have to offer (internally) and your wonderful spirit.


People that hurt us with no remorse, do not need to be in our lives. Fight back in whatever way you can to leave; analyze your situation and be prepared to leave safely. Call the police and report it. If you have a friend/family member you can trust have them help you move out. I promise, no matter how much your partner may pull you away from your family/friends someone still cares and loves you. 


A person should not speak negatively to you: yelling at you, cursing at you, calling you out of your name, etc. If your significant other is showing you signs of a high temper, uncontrollable anger/behavior, pay attention and know that you cannot change someone who does not see a problem with what they are doing. Even if they say that it is not their normal behavior and they do not know where it came from, know that their words are more than likely not the truth. Anger doesn’t come out of nowhere, nor does abuse. Being under the influence is not an excuse, either. Pay attention and believe what you are shown.


Be mindful of patterns.


Never forget: You did not make them do it.


There are foundations, organizations, shelters, etc. to support you if you need it. If you need help finding one, let me know and I will assist you in every way humanly possible. I care and I want to help you.


Friends
Yes, friends can abuse you. If they make fun of you “jokingly”, use you, only call when they need something, take and never give, etc. they do not need to be in your life. People will only do what they are allowed to do. If your “friend” is only there for selfish reasons, show them the nearest exit. Stand up for yourself and demand what you deserve or leave if it is not within your friendship. Be kind and still pay attention; do not be blinded by history or false sense of friendship.


Work
If your superiors/coworkers are using you for their benefit and do not support you, encourage you, offer you room for growth, etc. you may not belong there. You have to realize that you have special gifts and talents that you can offer the team/business and those gifts have a significant value. 


Do not let others misuse you, abuse you, cause you pain, break your spirit, degrade you, attack you, etc.  If either person in a relationship is not wanting to be in the relationship anymore, step away. If problems only get bigger and voices only get louder, it is time to go.


Brokenness can be re-shaped. You must be able to look within yourself and see your value and your worth (yes, the two are different). You have something special about yourself that cannot be taken away from you and that is what you must focus on when overcoming these abusive relationships. 


You need to do something with your time that is productive. Get back in school, get a hobby, do volunteer work; do all of these things for yourself. You can heal inside, but it will take time. Yoga, meditation, silent retreats, sound psychological counseling, prayer, support groups, etc. can all be amazingly beneficial things for you to do. You have to do what works for you, and you do not need someone to do these things with you.


The most important thing for you to do after you have gotten away from your abusive past is to not look back. You left for a reason and you faced something that you should have never had to deal with. I know that there may be a lingering feeling trying to remember a piece of good/some happy memories, but I promise you it is not worth revisiting the pain.


You have a strength inside of yourself that you must tap into, and believe me you can do it.


The Universe nor God want you to endure abuse of any sort, so it is time to heal as best as you can. 


Psalms 147:3
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” You are hurting or you are still hurting, but know that there is a healing unlike any other coming your way. Seek help and pray about your situation. There is a better life/person for you. This wound needs more than a band-aid, this is definitely a surgery type of situation, so do what it takes to overcome and get stronger. God can heal you in a way that no other can; whatever higher power you connect to is with you and cares about you. You can look inside of yourself, gain wisdom/knowledge via teachings, meditation, and yoga to re-train your brain. Whatever way works for you, you need to do it starting right now.


Isaiah 40:29-31
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”  You will heal, with time and faith. It will take effort, simply waiting and believing will not get you out of your situation; you have to muster up the strength and reach inside of yourself to overcome abuse. Once you find that peace and your happiness, never let anyone take it away.


The truth of the matter is that yes you may currently be a victim, but you can become a survivor and a significant blessing with someone else, with new friends (or none at all) or by working elsewhere. You may feel weak right now but take it from a survivor-turned-warrior, you will find your strength.


Remember, you are not alone. I’ll listen to you, cry with you, pray with you, empower you, and help you in any way that I can.


Be blessed and be at peace.

STD’s the prevalence of is increasing with time. Please remember that your body is your own and you have the option to say no and that is good enough; if someone sees a problem with that they can leave and you can tell them you are no longer interested. According to the CDC: there were approximately 2.3 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea & syphilis last year (more than 200,000) than the previous year. Get tested regularly, even if you are not in a relationship. There is free help at most community health clinics. Do not be scared to seek help, if you need it. You can experience many horrible symptoms and beyond if you do not get medical help. Protect yourself and others by doing the right thing.

Overcoming Relationships of Every Sort

Overcoming Relationships of Every Sort

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH

©KayLaN.Allen


Throughout life, we meet and get to know people on many different levels.


The passing of time, change in vision of life, different goals, broken hearts, etc. can all be reasons that these relationship must come to an end.


Making the decision to overcome a relationship can be one of the most difficult things to do. However, this very decision can be one of the best things that you can do for yourself, your family, or your career.


Let’s look a little deeper at intimate relationships, friendships, and career relationships.


Intimate Relationships
When dating (typically at the beginning), many people experience feelings of joy, excitement, butterflies, love, lust, etc., but we must remember that those things don’t always last nor do they have to. 


Of course, you should work hard in your relationships and love the one you are with, but if things have gone sour and either of you are experiencing dysfunction or unhealthy behaviors it may be beyond time to cut ties.


You know what you deserve in a relationship and what you need; if your significant other is unwilling to work on those things, don’t you think that maybe you need to rethink the relationship? 


Don’t you think that maybe you should be with someone who is willing to put in the effort and build a strong, faithful, and loving relationship with you? 


Let me say this: you do not have to stay with someone who cheats on you or mistreats you. You need to get your head on straight and think through your relationship and make the decision to overcome any negativity within it; if that means you need to leave, so be it. 


Keep this at the forefront of your mind: staying in a relationship just for the kids will hurt you, your significant other, those God meant for you, and your children (as they will mimic and be susceptible to what you have shown them/allowed them to be a part of). Do the right thing.


Friendship
At various stages of our lives we meet people that we may find a connection with, someone that likes the same things, or someone that we simply have things in common with and they become friends that we hold close to our hearts. 


We do things together, talk regularly, and even buy each other gifts. Those relationships are not always meant to travel with you for life, in fact it can be more unhealthy than anything to allow people that do not have the same goals, those without an aim for growth, or someone without the same beliefs as you. 


Proverbs 18:24
“One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” A friend is a blessing, but sometimes you have to let them go so that you can grow and find your happiness. One of the greatest friends and the most dependable friend can be found in God.


Friendship is a beautiful thing, but sometimes those relationships are only for a season; you learn the lesson then it’s time to move forward. You must be willing to see through the memories, time spent, etc. and realize that growth and change are mandatory in life…even when it comes to friends. Overcome that relationship by realizing the value in it and remembering that your journey through life and your success do not require everyone that you encounter and/or befriend.


Career Relationships
A brand new job comes up and we get excited about it look forward to everything that we will do, etc. Over time, you may get bored, want more money, gain a degree, or get tired of the commute, etc. and that is perfectly fine.  There are many people that stick to one job or one career for their entire life and that is okay, but that does not have to be the case. 


If you are feeling stuck or unfulfilled and there is no room for growth, perhaps you need to overcome that career relationship.  You need a challenge, you need to feel that you are making a difference and that you are being appreciated; if that is not how you feel you need to be appreciative of what you have learned and the opportunity and redirect your life.


Ecclesiastes 3: 1 & 5
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.” Knowing the value of any relationship (family included) is important, but it is equally important to recognize if someone/something is causing you to feel truly unhappy. If there is no way to mend it or the person is intentionally causing you emotional pain, you need to overcome that relationship.


It can hurt to leave people behind, but wouldn’t you rather forgive, try to mend, and overcome if it is necessary. You deserve to be happy within yourself; few things/people can give you that except God, looking into your soul, acknowledging what the Universe is blessing you with, and you.


Be blessed and be at peace.

There have been over 100 measles cases and 8 outbreaks of the measles in the U.S. this year(CDC). The majority of people with measles contract it because they are not vaccinated. Physical symptoms may appear in about 10-14 days after exposure, but people are contagious after 4 days with the virus. Fever is the early symptom of the measles, they can reach up to 105 F; this is accompanied by malaise, cough, and conjunctivitis. The rash spreads from the head-down (CDC). High risk people are infants, adults over 20, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. Airborne spread and droplets are the methods of transmission; it can remain in the air for two hours. There is no antiviral treatment, but medical care is necessary; hospitalization is hospital. As always, if you suspect an illness seek medical attention.

Overcoming Situations & Facing Others’ Negativity

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH
©KayLaN.Allen

Making a choice to overcome vs coping is entirely up to you, but remember you must be prepared to face the outcome.

Being stuck in a situation, or simply feeling stuck, is never a healthy place to be. It will fog your mind, cause confusion, and bring on levels of stress unlike any other. (Ask me how I know…)

So, you’ve made the choice to overcome…what can you do with the negativity that may come your way because of it?

Oh yes sir and yes ma’am, there will be those who are out to rain on your parade, and those who want to make you feel bad for your choice to claim your power…but you must be ready.

Choose, in your mind, to stand firm in your decisions. If you have made the choice to overcome, you can make the choice to find happiness in your new journey.

Those directly attached to you may not understand your choice and they may not know your new walk…but guess what…it isn’t for them to understand.


You see, others gain power only when you allow them to do so. You must stand up for yourself, and be aware of all that you are.

God has an amazing plan and purpose for your life…why else would you be here? Why else would you be reading this? 
The universe is molding this amazing life for you, and energy is being activated. Why else would you have chosen to overcome? Why else would you be diligently working toward achieving something better?

You are doing what it takes to create a navigation system for your life. If you choose to allow someone else’s evilness and negativity to creep in, guess where you’re headed…a dead end, and we know that road leads to nowhere.

You better be ready for whatever comes your way. Don’t be fearful, because you are never alone, and greatness is coming your way.


Ephesians 6:11
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Evil and negativity come in many forms, be prepared for what others may say or try to do. Remember who you are, turn the other cheek whenever possible, and do not be afraid of stepping on the toes of those who mean you no good.  Your courage is internal as is the plot of those do who evil things; you have the power and the ball is in your court. What you do and what you allow into your life is up to you. Overcome it, stand firm, and believe in yourself. God is with you every step of the way. The universe is connected to you, so do what is best for you and do not let go of your strength.

John 3:20 
“Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.” From me directly to you: You do whatever it takes to pour sugar on your circumstances and over others instead of dishing out revenge and violence. Your blessing is coming. Those who are evil see no problem in what they are doing, in fact they find a sense of responsibility/comfort in doing what they do. If you throw back what they give you that does not make the situation better, you are giving them your power and allowing them to put a shade over your light.

When someone decides to treat you like trash after you make that choice to do good things or choose a better path for your life, remember this…the problem is not you, it is buried deep inside of them. You cannot change them, so the best thing for you to do is be happy with your choice and keep choosing the be on the side of what is right and good.

Negativity is like that of the darkness, it remains still and it lingers until someone turns on the light. Be the light.

Be blessed and be at peace.

Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite, or an amoeba. It affects approximately 4000 people annually. It can lead to severe medical issues or death if not treated quickly.  The brain and spinal cord are severely affect. Person-to-person transmission is possible as is a spread through contaminated food, during birth, droplets, and via improper hand washing. As with many other diseases, those with a compromised immune system, younger/older, or are pregnant are at an increased risk of contracting the disease. Symptoms appear within 3-7 days after exposure; they include nausea, vomiting, confusion, and photophobia (CDC, 2017). You need to seek a physician for antibiotic treatment. Take good care of yourself and maintain healthy habits.

What Does It Mean To Overcome?

What Does It Mean To Overcome?

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH

©KayLaN.Allen


You climb your mountain and miss a step, but catch yourself.
You drive your car in the rain and slide a bit, but you get back on track immediately.
You face your scars and remember that you are a beautiful product of your life experiences.


Overcoming means to:
Move beyond, gain control, or defeat something. This definition can be different for each person and in every situation. The key is to understand what it means to you.


A person can talk to you for hours about overcoming and not truly understand what it means to you.


The real definition is inside of yourself.


Maybe overcoming means taking back your power.
Maybe overcoming means getting out of a bad relationship for yourself and your family.
Maybe overcoming means that you learn to clearly see how the universe is working in your favor.
Maybe overcoming means that you step out of your comfort zone and into the realm that you are supposed to be in.  
Maybe overcoming means getting control of the chaos in your life.
-Whatever it means to you, it is up to you to look deeper into what it would mean to make that change, overcome that battle, or climb that new hill.


Understanding what it means to overcome is how you can prepare to do it.


You find meaning and value in life and your journey by taking the time to truly look inside of yourself and allow change and evolution to occur.


Challenge yourself to take a moment and write down what is truly bothering you. This is the beginning of facing what is bringing problems to your life. 


Job 8:7
“…Though your beginning was small, your latter will be great.” You may not be where you dream of being, but it is surely coming- it has been promised to you. The universe is in full-creation mode and is bringing opportunities your way that you did not know existed. God has a blessing and vision for your life. 


Proverbs 2:12-15
“Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.”  Taking the time to do the work, writing it all down, facing the problem and understanding what it means to overcome your storm is the first step in developing a new area of wisdom.  This wisdom could be the key to your success or in finding true happiness within yourself. What would it mean to defeat the storm in your life?


Are you able to open the doors of promise and opportunity now? Do you still have some preparation to do? If you aren’t ready, that is okay for now…but you need to get ready. You need to stop just dealing with it and start preparing to change.


Now that you understand the basic meaning of overcoming, you are ready to learn to make it happen. Buckle up, it may be a bumpy ride.


Be blessed and be at peace.

Chickenpox can cause extreme problems for people of all ages.  The virus that it is linked to it, VZV, can spread via touching, breathing in particles, and possibly through droplets. Getting the vaccine is the best protection; you can still get chickenpox but the severity will be decreased, you will have fewer blisters and less of a fever. It is essential that you do your part to take care of yourself and your family. Calamine and colloidal oatmeal baths are a go-to to relieve itching, and acetaminophen over-the-counter may help reduce fever as well. Although there has been a decline in the number of people with a VZV virus over the past two decades, it is still affecting over 3 million people a year according to the CDC. Seek the care of a physician or any medical provider; there is affordable care available.

Overcoming the Storms in Your Life

Overcoming the Storms in Your Life

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH

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.

E-Evolution (Of Yourself & Your Life)

E-Evolution (Of Yourself & Your Life)

Posted on by KayLa's Positivity Corner by KayLa N. Allen, MPH
©KayLaN.Allen


Self-evolution starts with self- reflection.
Often, it is only right that you think about a
new and better you.

Close your eyes and no don’t make a wish…
I’m going to take you on a journey through your own mind.
It is time to completely let go of your painful/difficult past and visualize and manifest your destiny.
Now visualize in depth, in color, inside your mind your accomplishments,
greatest “failures”, and hopes left unattended.
What do you see? Smiles, tears, bruises? The common factor is you.

The next thing to do is allow yourself to rejoice in your accomplishments and
achievements and forgive yourself for your perceived failures or pain that lies in your
past.

If you don’t face yourself and face your crap/personal issues you cannot evolve. No exceptions.
Pray about what you want and be thankful for what God has given you. 


The next step
in this visualization is to bring to life all that you want in your life. You
need to see yourself accomplishing that next goal. You need to see yourself
graduating and getting that degree. You need to see yourself opening up your
checking account or your savings account and seeing those millions of dollars
sitting there.


You need to not only envision your life and everything that you
want in it but you need to feel how you would feel in those moments.


So let’s
say that you are opening up that account and you see those millions of dollars, you need to feel it right now -You open the account and you’re happy, you’re
excited, you’re proud of yourself.


If you live in your purpose and allow
yourself to evolve, empowering yourself along the way, nothing can stop you.

Have you spoken negatively about someone’s dream? Remember when you maybe said something to someone that may not have been kind? In those moments, all you did was push your blessing
further away.

Bless everyone around you. If you’re the smartest and most successful in your
group, you need a new group.


God is not going to bless your ugliness, laziness,
or character flaws that you are unwilling to change. 


You have every tool possible to change your life, your
integrity, your knowledge, your approaches to communication, your diligence and
everything in between.

It’s time to change your entire life.

Lose that weight, get that degree, EVOLVE!!! Faith without works is dead,
people.

Challenge yourself, push through, get certifications, do whatever it takes to
up your game!

Everything that you are/are not doing is affecting your present and the next decade.

What are you waiting for?

Need a push? Go to the Bible! Refer to that which you know about the universe, growth, cosmic awareness and personal development.

1 Corinthians 13:11
“When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason
like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” It is the time grow and do away with things of your past being. You can’t move forward if you are constantly looking back. 

Don’t you know better than to settle for mediocre?
Don’t you know better than to just sit on your butt waiting for something to
happen?
Don’t you know better than to speak ugly or negatively to or about people?
Do you deserve more than what you’ve received?
Do you believe that the universe or God’s love is never-ceasing and that you
can do ALL things through Jesus Christ?
If you do… what’s stopping you besides you? Nothing.

Change your life, save your life, better your health, handle
properly and cut out baggage, eliminate all negativity, love yourself better.

Often times we go through a worldly struggle, a difficult moment, financial
problems, etc. We question ourselves, the world, and God… saying: why me? How
am I going to get through this? I can’t make ends meet. Why do I have to choose
between food and bills? Which do I pick: job or school? Should the biological parent of my child continue to be in my life because of
the blood connection or a should I be with someone who truly loves me and my family?
So on and so forth. The list can go on and on.

Two things I want you to remember:

1. There is ALWAYS someone who has it far worse than you. Think of a homeless
adult, an orphaned teenager, someone with incurable cancer, etc. Now do you
feel any different?

2. You are your own worst enemy. You cause your fear and your worry… that’s
not of God. Where are you sending your energy? Negative begets negative. Evil
begets evil.
Every time that you allow your struggle to take over your mind, body, and soul
you are denying your own strength and abilities. 

Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in
Christ Jesus.
Lean not on your own understanding. Remember who you are.
Reach for the stars.
No problem is too big for God!
Put in your work and God will do the rest.
God is with you.

You
are beautiful inside and out. You are amazing.
Your opportunities are boundless. 


Be blessed and be at peace.

***Health Spotlight***
Babesiosis: A disease caused by a tick in the nymph stage that has been in contact with an Babesia spp. infected mouse for a blood meal. This disease is common in the U.S. in the Northeast and Midwestern regions during the warm months. Symptoms are uncommon but include: fatigue, fever, chills,  and hemolytic anemia (CDC). Those with compromised immune systems or are elderly are at a higher risk of getting the disease. Lab testing can be used to detect Babesia; this can include blood work followed by PCR and/or FISH testing. There are prescription medications to take to treat the disease. Do not take your health lightly; to have good health is a blessing unlike any other, so do what you can to live your best life. Get the help of a physician when you need it; it could make a world of a difference.
