There are no two journeys that are the same. No matter how similar your circumstances are, no two paths are exactly alike. Influenced by life experiences, backgrounds and upbringings, and decisions made alone can cause your situation to be inherently different. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s, run your own race and forge your own path. You were given this life because you are uniquely you.

I have created a 365-Day Journal Prompt book to coincide with my recently published book Finding Your Truest You!
The prompts can begin as soon as you receive the book, or on a specific holiday or you can wait til January.
It will cover topics addressed in my book like Authenticity, Healing, Spirituality, and Self-Love.
There is no right or wrong way to use the journal. Write every day or when the spirit leads you.
May these reflections bring you closer to peace, to purpose, and most of all, to Finding Your Truest You!https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17LzSbZiwx/
Irrespective of the circumstances, I opt for joy. Life can be tough, and at times, the burden of our situation feels overwhelming. Yet, even when circumstances are beyond our control, I find solace in knowing Who is in control.
Joy does not mean the absence of difficulties, it is a decision. A decision to have faith, to keep a smile even in rough times, and to appreciate the little things.
Thus, today, regardless of what challenges I face, I remind myself: I will choose joy, because my heart is anchored in the One who sustains everything.
What’s one small thing you can do today to embrace joy, even in the midst of uncertainty?
I talk a lot about learning that my vulnerability is a super power over the past five years. One thing I still get hung up on is when/how to be vulnerable at work.
According to Culture Works HR, 60% of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.
Quora says that vulnerability is natural and should be embedded within any company’s culture. “It creates trust and promotes acceptance and empathy when giving and receiving feedback. It also helps with effective problem solving and decision making.”
According to Toner Buzz, 85% of companies that offer work-life balance programs report an increase in productivity, while 33% of employees with a good balance say they plan to stay longer in their current role.
The fear of making connections and being vulnerable can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, fear of rejection or abandonment, low self esteem, or a lack of trust in others. This is true whether in your personal or professional life.
So how can you change that?
-Focus on building self awareness;
-Practice active listening;
-Share your thoughts and feelings appropriately;
Do you have a difficult time being vulnerable? Try a few of these to help get you started.
False Evidence Appearing Real
Sometimes fear comes from things that are only conjured up in our mind. The debilitating feeling when you approach something unknown and cannot control the outcome. The paralyzing thoughts of an expectation that cannot be met. Luke 12:32 tells us to “Fear Not”. The Lord tells us 365 times in the Bible to not be afraid. One for every single day of the year!
A fear of heights is our lack of control of what happens when we are in high places. Our false evidence that says we are going to fall if we are up high.
A fear of spiders or snakes or other things similar is our lack of control of the unknown of that creature. Will we get bitten? Will we get sick and die afterwards.
A fear of being alone is our lack of control of whether or not other people will stay in our lives or if they will leave.
In many cases fear is caused by our lack of control of things. In those instances we have a choice…

Peel away the societal expectations and external influences to embrace your inner rockstar! You are in control of your destiny and allowing what everyone thinks to define you or place you into a box is not living up to your full potential. Whatever your full potential is, do not let it be stifled by other people’s inability to see the true you. You make things happen. You push your limits. You step out of your comfort zone. You encourage other women to do the same and that is what makes you that ‘Fire in Your Soul’ Rockstar!
