To God Be The Glory!!!

Hey!!! What's been happening? Your girl has been away for a minute, but it's all good! I needed to take a bit of a hiatus and reposition myself as Steve Harvey would say. I came off the blocks hard(those of you that run/ran track will know what I mean) and realized as I got halfway down the track, I should slow my pace or I would exhaust myself before the finish line. I say all that to say, I took a few weeks off to go to the well for replenishment. I feel stronger, encouraged, enlightened, wiser and ready to pick things up again. Amazing what a little introspection will do!

So what's next you ask? Well the main thing is to continue to let folk know about this amazing book I have published and that means hitting the road again. So Atlanta, Greensboro, other parts of NC and all up and down the east coast...here I come!

Before I go, I want to share what's been going on with me the last few weeks. When you read my blogs, you'll find most of them will have some reference to God. I am learning how good is He through a number of experiences: finances, relationships, new beginnings, letting go, opening up, cleaning out, acknowledging, stepping up, sitting back, on and on. I attended a workshop facilitated by Ahmad Daniels, a very active brother in the Charlotte, NC area where a group of brilliant minds discussed our role in bettering the lives of black boys/men. Ahmad and I have become very good friends and I respect and admire what he is doing on the forefront for our children and men. In this workshop, God revealed Himself to me in so many ways. My eldest child graduated from college a week ago. My youngest child learned how to ride her bike this week. My son and my relationship has reached a new level. I will be moving into my house in a month. I love to dance and have reached a point in my life where I don't mind dancing alone, as a matter of fact, I've learned I prefer it. I am realizing how beautiful I am. I am learning to love me. I am learning to accept people for who they are instead of wanting to change them. I am learning where people fit in my life and where they don't. For each of these experiences there is one emotion that is consistent...gratitude. I love God not for what She can do but for who He is.

Peace and blessings and please take care of yourself and one another.
Love,
M
