The truth is..

Bullying anyone is a terrible act to carry out. There is nothing amusing about making anyone feel bad or uncomfortable about who they are, how they look, what they wear and so on. Stop bully people and stop bullying children! People are not born bullies, they become so by whatever is influencing them in their environment. Let’s all put a stop to this epidemic. Our children are dying daily and adults are not excluded! Use your voice and every non violent means necessary to speak out and call out bullying! We all have to do it together! I SAY ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING AND BULLIES! Let’s all speak up!

Walls! Walls!! Walls. We all build them and we all have them. Break those walls hindering your progress and start moving forward from that failed relationship, the promotion they skipped you over for and you are feeling stuck in a position, you not wanting to show your vulnerability. Stop. Take a deep breath and take it one day at a time. You can do this! Break those walls! Stop the limitation. Grow. Thrive. Just be.

The beauty and pain of leadership. Are you a great leader or a horrible dictator. Do you emulate Christ like behavior or all about self? Are you empathetic, warm, loving and kind?

Shoutout to my Angel! My heart and everything. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mother. We all miss your divine and amazing presence Mom. Shoutout to all the parents out there doing what needs to be done. You are seen and appreciated. I pray our children continue to thrive and make us proud. Never ever stop pouring positivity into them and encouraging them as humanly possible.

Just some pointers to live by daily. Hope this helps you navigate life with less difficulty. Just take one step at a time. Practice being at peace with yourself and then extend to others. You only share/give what you can when you understand what you are giving/sharing and the impact of doing so. For example, if I love myself and treat myself well/right and it makes me happy and feel good, then loving others and treating them well/right should come naturally without frustration… think about it.

Sleep in power my friend. We met 36 years ago. Other than my siblings, my circle is small with friends that I grew up with. Tunde aka Shakin was definitely part of my life that I cherish and hold dearly.

I miss you dear, gone in the physical but will never be forgotten!

To everyone who’s loved ones gained their wings and are still in disbelief, grieving and mourning their departure, hang in there and make them proud of you. Our loved ones would only want the best for us and wish us well. So live for them while living for yourself! Rest in power to those who the lord called home.

Stop talking negatively about people. Stop spreading lies! Be positive and stay positive! Destroying people’s image is an ugly look on you. Stop it!

I will be a bit transparent with you today and start by saying.. One thing that has kept me sane over the years is that I love myself most times than not but there are times when I wake up and I am flooded with feelings of doubt, feelings of inadequacy, feelings of I can’t. But then I remember who I am and the things that I have gone through and how I have persevered over the years and then there’s a switch.

The truth is we all go through this and there is no easy way to tell anyone to get over it, you just have to find it within yourself to do so….

On this episode of the truth is, we will be talking about my happy places and what gives me peace. I hope it will encourage someone or two to find their own and build on it.

Happiness is possible and being happy is doable. It’s a conscious effort to knowing what happiness means to you and making sure you stick to it and not allow anything or anyone destroy it, no matter what life throws at you.

I like to reflect on how happy young children are when they don’t know how unkind the world can be until maybe adulthood. Even with being an adult in a wicked world, you can still find, create, escape into that childlike era of pure undiluted happiness and peace.

So let me share some of my happy places and where peace reigns unhindered…

For me being in the presence of the Lord, not necessarily in a congregational setting, just that personal space and having a conversation, through singing, dancing and prayer because I believe in a higher being, the most powerful force, my creator, my lord, my one and only, the only one who judges me with mercy.

-Anywhere peace dwells and I’m comfortable.

-Any place I can be myself.

-Any place laughter and great humor is the main course.

-Anywhere positivity reigns.

-Any place I’m seen and heard even when I don’t utter a single word or wear something fancy.

-Any place I can breathe easy, let my hair down, and just be.

You need to seek peace and be at peace within yourself because no one can give you that especially if they don’t have it to give. Maybe when you identify what peace is to you then you can give others peace.

This are my truths.

What gives you peace and where are your happy places?
