Who stole your voice?

I don’t know about you but for too long my voice and confidence may have been stolen, and even when I came out with my book, I knew my truth would bring me negativity because I didn’t hold back, my book is my truth and it’s very raw. I wanted and needed to heal so I can make room for the new year and a newness to the second part of my life. Will you be joining me?

What does dreaming big mean to you?

For me it has been a process of overcoming shame, to forgive, to stand in my truth so that I can move forward. Dreaming big means so many different things to different people. For me I’ve been wanting to learn more about the truth about my faith walk and who God really is.

Letting go of our past does not mean we need to ignore it. Removing false labels doesn’t mean we pretend that the pain of what was said and done never happened. It is the reality of what happened or is happening to us now. It’s helped shaped who we are today, positively and negatively.

1. Standing in Your Truth

I spoke a bit about this in a previous podcast called Truth or Lie?

Here is the reality, since I came out with my book “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” I have had to stand in my truth after exposing my truth. Some members of my family aren’t too happy about it but I don’t need them to be, I need to just be really honest with myself and continue on my healing journey.

Forgiveness can be difficult. It takes super powers to forgive sometimes. See, in our day to day people will do or say things that will piss us off or offend us.

Week one in the series:

The first topic we will talk about in this series is: Overcoming Shame

I had to face lots of my shame so I can write my book “Hit Me with Your Best Shot, How I Overcame a Hard-Hitting Life”

I have lived with shame most of my life. It started when my step-father started molesting me at the age of 6 and my mother didn’t believe me. I always felt so embarrassed, unloved and unworthy because of it. It took me many years to realize that I had nothing to be ashamed of.

New Year but Same Stronghold?

How are you doing this year so far? Is it looking a lot like last year?

This year should not reflect your last year. It’s time to step out of the box and believe for more increase, more growth, more spiritual Growth, more vision, more ideas, more boldness, more creativity, more love, less fear.

Although life has been hard God has shown me He Is Real. Read my life story in my new book Hit Me With Your Best Shot! How I Overcame a Hard Hitting Life.

I have just a few examples of why I know God is real!

Do you want to change?

I was thinking about my journey in life when I was writing my first book, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, and I also think a lot about my current weight loss, financial and educations goals and I ask myself, do I really want to change? That’s a loaded question because once I answer it means I need to decide why and how. I go through stages in life with change.

I was listening to an amazing speaker called John Maxwell, if you don’t know who he is, you must look him up. Has many great books, one I love called Failing Forward.

He mentioned in one of his talks that there are three different types of people;

Are you the type of person that doesn’t know what they want to do?

Are you the type of person that knows what you want to do, but doesn’t do anything about it

Or do you do exactly what you like to do?
