I AM ENOUGH!

Many times in life we look for the approval of others by measuring our worth by their accolades, comments or bravados but their comes a time we have to tell ourselves...I AM ENOUGH!







     Recently, Whitney Elizabeth Houston was put to rest on Saturday, February 18th, 2012. Her homecoming ceremony was an impactful wake up call to the world. So many celebrities spoke of the Whitney the media did not know at all. The media glamorized her downfalls, flaws and mistakes to build a story for propaganda. Whitney Houston was beautiful, talented, smart, savvy, and sassy but still at the end of the day she questioned her worth. She still wondered was her gift,her God given talent good enough for the world. Million of women today have the same question run through their head.."Am I good enough?" Inspite of our accomplishments, successes, victories and overcoming moments many women still have a overwhelming insecurity of who they are inside. A woman's insecurity can mess with her self esteem, self worth, and self love which could cause her to lose faith in her ability to make a change in the world. So often we let society, the media, friends, and family dictate our worthiness. I believe Whitney Houston truly never tapped into her full potential or greatness because she did not realize her music changed lives. I have been guilty of feeling inadequate about my God given talented comparing myself to other people and wondering was I good enough to make it. However, I began to realize I was fearfully and wonderfully made by God and He never made a piece of junk. God's artwork is intricate and detailed where abstract pieces are added for embellishment. God is the greatest Picasso who divinely created every woman as a Mona Lisa. Ms. Houston was a beautiful Mona Lisa who had her own unique attributes that added to the body of Christ. It is true she died before her prime and still had so much life to live but her death was a reality check to love yourself. In her song "The Greatest Love Of All" it says "learning to love yourself is greatest love of all" and this statement is profound. It is important you learn to love yourself, embrace your flaws, your mistakes and realize that no matter what other people say about you, you are more than enough. God created us to add to His kingdom; many members of one body. We all have differrent skills and abilities but we are all important to the Body of Christ.

So the next time you wonder are you enough be reminded that God created you for a purpose and when you belong to him then your talent, skills and abilities are enough. So tell yourself, "I AM ENOUGH"!

Valentine's Day For The Single Sassy Sista....

I am a true romantic for love and I love any movie that shows the beauty of love in its most intimate stages. However,  sometimes it can be challenging when holidays like Valentine's Day only focus on couples for this symbol of love. I believe this holiday is to be enjoyed by single people as well. I am a very happily single woman embracing life, enjoying the moment and loving life to the fullest. I am focused on loving myself, creating a life for me and my daughter, and most of all experiencing what life has to offer me. Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays because it gives me a chance to celebrate myself, spoil myself and love every aspect about who I am created to be. I also love this holiday because I always buy my daughter a Valentine's Day gift. I have been doing this for her and her deceased sister since they were babies. I use to hate Valentine's Day and wanted that special man to buy me flowers or take me out to dinner. However, I decided that I have to learn how to love myself first. Valentine's Day is not another sad love song for me but it is a day where I give back to myself 100%. Valentine's Day does not have to be the worst holiday for the single sassy sista. We can spend this Valentine's Day enjoying some great time with our self and spending money on what we want to do for us. It is not the end of the world if you are single on Valentine's Day. It is important to reflect, embrace and enjoy where you are at in your life. It should be pure joy to be a single sassy sista who wants to take her world to a whole new level. We have to understand that having a man does not define our happiness but when we do get a man he increases our happiness. So many women operate in a needy or desparate mode which causes them to  feel like they cannot be happy without having a man in their life. However, if you do not love yourself then that man will not be able to love you. It can be challenging to be the only person in your circle single but your turn will come for love. Until then enjoy your Valentine's Day...

I challenge all single sassy sistas like myself to have fun, enjoy life and not focus on the negative aspects of being single on Valentine's Day. When you are content and happy with yourself then that gorgeous, handsome specimen of a man will notice the spark or twinkle in your eye. He will be so curious to want to know what makes you smile and strut with confidence the way you do. He may ask you "What makes you smile the way you do with the twinkle in your eye?" and you respond by saying, "Life, I am simply living my life to the fullest and enjoying every moment". Then my single sassy sistas he will want to take you out on a date and get to know you alot more.There is always something special about a woman who is confident about being happily single. She finds peace and joy in knowing her steps are strategically ordered by God. She has no desire to curse love but embrace it....Single Sassy Sista enjoy your Valentine's Day because you might not be single next year.
