Life Without Sugar
Life without sugar. It’s like no other. Finally, I’ve kicked the sugar habit. Today, Thanksgiving 2023 marks 64 days on the “No Sugar Challenge.” No sugar means no refined sugar. If you haven’t done it yet. Take the plunge. You will not regret it. Your sleep will be better. The elasticity and softness in your skin will look and feel phenomenal. You will have more clarity in your thinking. Improved bowel movements and a better mood. Believe it or not, you will have more energy without a crash-and-burn feeling that comes from drinking highly caffeinated drinks. Of course, there will be some hiccups. During the first 10 days, I won…
FOCUS: FAITH, FINANCE, & FITNESS
Can YOU believe it? Less than 3 months from 2024, I don’t know about you but I have not put a dent in my goals. Don’t be discouraged. If you are a believer, “with God ALL things are possible.” In the words of Dr. Bill Winston, “God’s plan is that our plans and provisions come by faith (belief) through the superior method in the spirit realm.” Yeah, this late in the game is going to require a miracle. A miracle is another word for supernatural. It goes against the natural order of things. Focus I read the story of the Shunammite woman. If you’re unfamiliar with the story read 2…
3 Ways To Reclaim Your Time
The buzzword has been financial independence for I don’t know how long. What we truly desire is the freedom to do what we want, when we want, and with whom we want. As for me, I desire to be a rich haute housewife living a leisure, luxury, lavish lifestyle with a full-time staff in 4 estates around the world in order to reclaim my time. It’s not as outlandish as it sounds. Well, how did a child of a domestic worker get the idea that it’s possible to be rich and live a leisure, luxury, lavish lifestyle with full-time staff at that? For one, I lived in a prestigious neighborhood…
Frame Your Future
FRAME YOUR FUTURE. I desire quantum progress in every area of my life in 2023. If you’ve been following me, you know my word for the year is ACCELERATION (formerly excellence). Since January, I’ve read multiple books and repeatedly listened to multiple teachings and sermons (Practice # 4 | Invest In Yourself). These authors and speakers are my imaginary advisors. I consult their media resources for advice. Another word that keeps catching my attention from these individuals, other than acceleration, is VISION. Accelerated growth and quantum leaping require a VISION (i.e. destination, target, or desire). A GPS requires a destination before it can create a route. Once you enter a…
GROWTH BY ASSOCIATION
Happy New Month! If you have been following me I’m back in the States. I’ve been to Chicago (IL), metro Atlanta (GA), Tuscaloosa (AL), and back to metro Atlanta (GA) among other travels. Yes, I’m currently in metro Atlanta. How long? I’m not sure so catch me here while you can. All of this transition has made me change my word for 2023. Initially, it was “EXCELLENCE.” After surveying my actions over the last 3 months (the first quarter of the year), I made an executive decision to change it to “ACCELERATION.” I’m committed to accelerated growth. Among other things, in the past 3 months, I’ve 🎓graduated from an entrepreneurship program,…
2022 Year In Review
2022 Year In Review. Happy New Year! I’ve been completing a lot of incomplete projects from 2022. As suggested by Success Principle 28 in Jack Canfield’s Book, The Success Principles, How To Get From Where You Are to Where You Want To Be, and also the co-author of Chicken Soup For The Soul. I bound the procrastination and unfocused spirit for 2023. Already I’ve completed and submitted my homework for my Saturday virtual class. Since the class started in October, I always took advantage of the time difference and turned the assignments in on the due date Gulf Standard Time. If you’ve been following me on YouTube (if you’re not,…
How Badly Do You Really Want It?
“A hero is someone born into a world where they do not fit in. They are then summoned on a call to an adventure they are reluctant to take. What is the adventure? A revolutionary transformation of self. The final goal is to find the elixir, the magic potion that is the answer to unlocking her. Then she comes home to this ordinary life transformed and shares her story of survival with others.” Chapter 1, Running Self-Transformation How Badly Do You Really Want It? I didn’t listen to one memoir this past week but two: Finding Me by Viola Davis & Will by Will Smith. Both audiobooks talk about transformation,…
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
Happy Birthday, Grandma! Today (August 25, Note: I published the article on another platform) is my deceased maternal grandmother’s birthday. Her name is Anna Robinson Chandler. Everyone called her “Muh” short for Madea. The only grandparent I met and actually know the name of. Muh was a hoot. She said the most darnest thing when she had her hooch that my eldest brother and first cousins use to sneak her against momma’s better judgment. I think they saw it as entertainment because she had no filter whatsoever. Once Muh told a cousin’s friend that her baby was ugly. Muh was fluent in cursing. “Mf if you don’t get your f#$&!*@…
I Wanna Be Rich
“I wanna be rich” by Calloway is ringing in my ears, “I want money, lots and lots of money.” When I was on Facebook I added “Decamillionaire in the Making” to my profile name. I was reminded by so many people my financial goals may not be realized working a regular 9 to 5 unless of course, I won the lottery like so many people desired. I read a lot of financial books and the most common thread repeated in these books are business ownership is the yellow brick road that leads to “lots and lots of money.” I remember a colleague once stating you will never get rich working…
3 Lessons From Climbing the Wli Waterfall
Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls is located in the Volta Region near the HoHoe municipality in Ghana and a stone’s throw away from the Togo border. The Wli Waterfalls is the highest waterfall in Ghana and West Africa. The five-hour commute to the area is an experience in itself. Unless you charter a private car or bus, tro-tros are the most common mode of transportation to and from the Wli village. With the aid of my bluetooth headphones and cellphone’s gospel playlist, I was able to focus on the beautiful mountainous views and not so much on the rocky transit. I was excited about the new adventure but I underestimated the arduousness…
