Hey, y'all! It's a GATHERING, a time and space where you get to hang with your girls. It's a kickback with your closest friends and a time to chill and talk about all things life. Honey, The GATHERING is a podcast-- A place where sisters meet. Come on in!
Saying yes can often lead to self-neglect. You cannot give from an empty cup. I am joined by First Lady Lakisha Litzey, who is a pastor's wife, mom, business woman, beauty extraordinaire and my cousin. We chat about being in a season of No.
Fixers and givers will always be drained of energy if they work unto the glory of people. Time is precious and so are you. Be careful not to neglect self in your desire to be used.
So many life lessons are learned through play. We've come so far as a society and have definitely gained more materialistically.
Words whether written or heard carry feelings.
Weapons form, but they don't have to prosper. Choose truth over reality. This week I talk about magnifying triumph instead of focusing on trauma. The more you focus on good things, the better your life will seem. Choose YOUR View!
Parenting seems to be a hot topic. My daughter, Trinity Chism joins me this week. We talk about perspectives and parent-child relationships. Parenting a young adult is different and a major learning curve may happen once you hit that stage. It may take a little bending on both sides in order to get to a place of peace and understanding.
I love windows just as much as I love the morning. The two have so much in common. In a sense, they are both openings. Windows open up to the outside world and Mornings are the openings of the day. They both have the potential to refresh.
Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Take a break. You cannot pour from an empty cup.
If I have to choose between doing and getting, I am going to choose doing because things depreciate.
My mom has been gone for almost 19 years. When she needed me, I fought for her. I was her voice. Nothing's changed. Her GREATNESS is acknowledged.My special guest is my brother Sherman. I needed him to help me grapple with my feelings.
Do you know shame? Honey, Shame wants you to pay for things over and over again. Shame wants to extract all of the good from you. Shame wants you to stay in the dark. Don't stay there. Run to the light.
Don't be fooled by the smoke screen of disconnection. This year let's be intentional in our relationships and set out to repair bonds. We are better together.
Due to the happenings of this year, we might just have to break tradition. You get to choose how you want to remember or celebrate this holiday season.
I am joined by Kelli Harris Davis, renowned SAGE to discuss the longings that many of us have especially during the holidays. Feelings have a name and if we are ever going to heal, we have to acknowledge them.
No one wants to be hurt or offended. Sitting in unforgiveness can and will make you sour. We can choose to forgive. We can choose to be offended. I think it's better to choose grace, especially to yourself.
We all desire validation. Oftentimes we need approval and assurance to get to the next level in life. Validation can come from the unlikeliest of places. Walk in integrity and your identity will speak for you. You are good and worthy of the spaces you have worked diligently to be in.
The pandemic has us all sheltering in place. This distancing can be hard for many of us. We can ease the separation anxiety by drawing strength from memories. Join my sister, Button and I as we walk down memory lane. Allow precious loving memories to guide your thinking today and every other day that we cannot gather.
Somebody is waiting on your brilliance to shine. Be the light and a glimmer of hope. Magnify all that is good.
Happy Birthday, Momma! Thank you for creating a childhood that causes me to smile unconsciously.
It's my parents' anniversary. There are principles that we can adhere to in marriage, but we should not be bound to walking the walk of another couple.
Make time to take care of yourself.
Wants change and sometimes when you finally get the thing that you so desperately wanted, you realize that it wasn't what you really wanted. Count up the cost of your wants and appreciate what you already have.
There's so much practicality and wisdom in the book of Proverbs. My mother required that we read a chapter a day. For the first time in forever, I invited a gentleman, my brother Sherman to The Gathering. Get this wisdom!
Focusing on good things will change your mood and ultimately change your life.
Watch out for the masks of insecurity.
Our environments can be detrimental to our confidence. My daughter and I talk about people and things that rob us of our confidence.
Your dreams are closely connected to your calling. Tap into the genius that is in you. Cultivate your dreams.
Do what it takes to protect access to your mind. Guard your heart and mind.
Shedding the weight of not being able to emote...
If someone offends you, try not to spend time interpreting or analyzing the offense. Educate the offender and move on. You are good and in charge of how you feel!
Stuff happens. People aren't perfect and somethings we just can't control. Choose JOY!
Consider your intentions and actions. Are they selfish or selfless? What's your truth? What is the truth? Join me for a conversation with one of my favorite people.
Life is so much sweeter when you experience it with friends.
Make time for YOU. Sprinkle your day with a little self-care. Set aside moments for you to recharge.
Do you follow your child on social media? Do their posts frighten you? Should you censor your children?
