Purposeful Planting: How to Till Your Soil
There are specific seasons for everything in our lives. There is a season for life, a season for death. A season for great blessings, a season for loss.

I have also learned that I have to be careful with whatever God gives me. I've learned that in order for blessings to blossom, I have to till my soil with purpose and here is how to do ...

Breakups: 5 Signs You Should End Your Courtship
In my last journal, Bible With Bae: Keeping God At The Center of Courtship, I shared some practical ways that my long-distance boyfriend and I kept God in our relationship.

Anyway, here are a few lessons that I have personally ... View the Post
Black Women and Mental Illness
When you hear the word "Black Woman" what do you think of? Maybe strong, magical, smart, nurturer, etc. Growing up in a black family, you never really spoke about your business. The quote I often heard was "What happens in this house stays in this house!" That quote stayed with me even into my adulthood. Now, I understand that my aunts and grandmothers really meant well when they said those words. They didn't want people sticking their noses in something they had no business being in. Or ...
