Words Can Heal..

Hey my Lovely followers! I know, it's been a while. I've actually set up a mini blogIG, NekaTSpeaks on Instagram ( go follow if you haven't already)  But it hit me, I have to make time for this spot too. This is where I truly found my voice in the blogging world. 

Here's my truth:: after a lot of hurt, my motto became, " Your words mean nothing, I need action". If a guy said he liked me, whelp I needed him to show it. If a person said they have my back, ok show it.. Whew, thank God I've grown and matured. Although, thinking in this manner is warranted from time to time, sometimes a person's word is their bond and we have to believe it until they show you different.. And when they show you, then you can look for it to show thru their actions. 

I have this friend whom I talk to almost daily. At first it was simple talk, laughing at our kids, talking about relationship woes ( I mainly listened, I'm as single as 1 dollar bill 😂😂😂) and life plans. Then our conversations started to mature. I began to look at this person more than someone who needed an outlet ( because I didn't see it then but I needed an outlet too) but as someone who was growing. We were helping each other grow without physically knowing. 

This person later said to me, " You know your words bless me".. I'm like my words? They responded "YES".. I'm like give me an example..( u know we thrive off of examples lol) they simply said, " I find comfort in your words because they've healed me and given me strength". 

Maybe it's just me but I'm quick to say, " who me" and the response has ALWAYS been, " why not you". 

Today, I challenge you to speak life into someone else. We're all battle with something or another without having to share it with the world. Speak Peace into someone who's battling with inner turmoil. Speak Love into someone who has felt less than all of their life. Speak motivation into someone who wants to give up. 

There is more power in our words than we know. To my followers, I speak an abundance of Happiness, New Beginning,Financial Blessings, fulfillment on your jobs and Peace in your homes. Be someone's balance today. 

Be their safety. 

We have the power in our words..

My awesome followers, 

Let me began with a huge I'm sorry.. I feel like I haven't blogged in what seems forever. I've become quite "lazy" ( for lack of a better word) with actually blogging. I do quick posts on Instagram but it's not the same as taking out time to share what's truly on my heart.. Please forgive me, I'll do better!! 

Ok, now that we're all back cool and we sang 2 versions of Yes Jesus loves me... Lol.... Listen y'all!!! Let me share this with you. We never ever know or understand why God places certain people in our paths. Like we truly don't know. 

I've deemed myself the Social Media Cool Girl!! When my follows talk, I respond. When they tweet I tweet and when they hurt I hurt. One of my fave past times is to play Words With Friends. I've been on for a little over a year and I must say I've met some quite amazing souls there. Just recently, I befriended this cool cat in the Carolina's. Although, I do not think our paths will ever cross physically, just knowing that I've inspired someone  in a not so great situation to be better truly makes my heart smile. 

I get it, seriously I do. We all have moments where we don't want to be bothered. Don't tell me my hair look cute, do not tell me I smell good and do not ask for a sip of my beverage ( specifically SanpelleGrino).. But when we look past our moments, let's be mindful of our presence and the energy we're giving others. 

I promise, I've made it my business to become consistent with who I am. At the end of the day, it won't matter how many givebacks my organization host, how many books we publish( clears throat, plug for my book Stategically Being Mom currently available on Amazon), if I do not and did not carry God's Love, then I didn't not fully live out my entire purpose. 

The more people I encounter, the more relationships I build: it becomes quite evident that some are in need of an ear and someone to just listen. I never ever want to be in a position where as I had something and chose to hold on to it. 

The same way the doors opened, is the same way bigger and better will come if we let go of small things that someone else may need.

My challenge to each of you is::: Do not block your blessings.. Blessings come unexpectedly, in many shapes and sizes. And one of my most recent blessings; I'll forever be greatful... I'll forever thank God for second chances. I'll always remain peaceful and hopeful. I'm

A Conduit of LOVE...

Hidden Blessings..

I was absolutely tired this morning when I got off work. So tired that my entire body ached. I knew I couldn't go to bed right away because my mechanic was enroute to fix something small on my truck( which by the way, after I watched him

I could've done the job myself). He was done by 9:30, I was in bed by 10am. My heart was in Decatur at my church but my body was aching and I was restless, literally. 

When I got in at 6:50, I grabbed some clothes and I showered. The particular pants I grabbed, I'd been looking for them for weeks. Not for any reason in particular, they just happen to be my fave Victoria Secret Pink sweat pants. I finished my much needed bath and proceeded to dry off and dress. 

Out of habit, I always stick my hands in my pockets after getting dressed. As I stick my hand in my pockets, I felt a roll. I instantly pulled it out and to MY surprised, there was $45 rolled up in my pocket. I tried to remember where the money could've come from and I kept drawing a blank. All I know, I haven't wore these particular pants in about 3 or 4 weeks. 

Anyhoo, I'll take the $45 for the win! Once again, God has looked out for the girl. This last month or so has been nothing but extreme wins for me! My heart is full and I'm extremely excited for what 37 is bringing my way.. 

My Lovies, surprises/ blessings come in all shApes and forms. Never be so caught up in your own situation that you miss your good thing/ blessings. What's even crazier, sometimes our blessing/ good thing is right up under our nose.. Stop sniffing other gardens and appreciate yours! I'm ready and winning!! I got next!
