For some people Sunday is the day where they may choose to be lazy or relax as one would say. Sunday has become a day where I can’t be lazy because I have to go sit with God and thank him for all that he has done for me this week. Which is crazy because as the pastor said today “We (I) tend to have spiritual amnesia” where we forget all that God has done for us so much that all we do is complain Trust me I am guilty of this but today I was reminded. That not just on Sundays but Monday through Saturday we shall be thankful and show gratitude for all that he has done and complain less.

Reminded that God always, most definitely, and certainly shows up. May not be when we want it but he is always on time, I don’t need anymore proof because I can look back on my own track record in my life where God has brought my crazy tail self out of the most tragic situations. So today, Pastor Adams reminded us that we shouldn’t let the trails and circumstances we are currently in fog our minds and spirits to where we forget all the wonderful and marvelous things our God has done for us.

You see why I like Sundays, it’s the perfect reset day, the day to check your attitude and look back on all that he has done for you because the fact you made it to another Sunday to get that reset is a blessing in itself.

Happy First Sunday Tribe!

Hey Tribe, what makes you happy? It is a question that I tend to sometimes can’t truthfully or fully answer without hesitating. At one moment in my life I never knew what made me happy until I started to experience new things that made me feel all warm inside, you know that feeling when your high off of whatever activity your doing in the moment. No drugs or alcohol needed lol yeah that feeling.

For me it’s a couple of things for example when I workout consistently whether at the gym, in-home, or outdoors. My body feels so free and alive, I end my sessions with a burst of energy that makes me feel like I can defeat the world and everything it wants to throw at me for the day. Another is when I’m in full CEO mode at a content shoot whew child you would think I had a million budget that day, the rush that comes over me picking looks for the models, watching the glam team beat faces ( haha ) you see how I manifested that lol no team but we make it happen, and seeing models break free out of their shells because sometimes we recruit models with little to no experience. The energy that takes over in those spaces leaves me happy, feeling complete, and satisfied on the inside. That’s my happiness!

What’s yours ?

5 months of time, effort, and energy given to the wrong things can really alter you’re life in many ways. I have been sitting with the fact that sometimes I am the reason why I miss my callings, I’m the reason why I miss my marks nobody else but Mellanee. It’s okay to sit with yourself and say “hey self, you’re in your own way” that silent self-reflection will really open your eyes. It helps you evaluate what you have been spending your time on and time is something that we know we cannot get back.

No more wasted time tribe the LIFE clock does not stop ticking for anyone!

Transformation can be scary especially when you are comfortable in your current space or with your current self. We all go through a transformation in our lives and many times we experience more than one transformation within ourselves. Things you used to be interested in don’t excite you, different crowds aren’t fun to be around, and habits begin to break.

When transformation knocks at your door don’t hesitate to twist the knob, grab the door handle and let it in.

Did you know? Anne Lowe was a talented and prolific fashion designer, best known for creating Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic wedding dress. Despite her remarkable talent and high-profile clientele, Lowe was often overlooked and referred to simply as a “black designer” during her time. In fact, only one article in the Washington Post mentioned her by name, highlighting the unfortunate reality of racial bias in the fashion industry.

Despite the challenges she faced, Lowe’s talent shone through. She even had the opportunity to share her story on the Mike Douglas Show. Born in 1898 and passing away in 1981, Lowe’s journey was one of passion and dedication. Growing up surrounded by seamstresses – her grandmother and mother – she began sewing at a young age, making her own play dresses by eight and mastering pattern-making by ten.

12 months into the year we are closing out an adventure. What are you looking forward to for 2025? What are you leaving behind in 2024 and what habit will you be focusing on to break for first Qt? Take a second today to reflect on the last couple of months and situations that you encountered for 2024. Then BREATHE because you have made it to the end of this journey.

I made mistakes but I am worth it, sometimes we tend to let our past take control over our future and our current situations. You are more than your mistakes Tribe, get on your knees and ask God for your salvation and repent. No more holding on to dead weight RELEASE!

Thankful to be able to be able to provide for my family, able to make their hearts warm from a hearty meal, and thankful for all the blessings seen and unseen. Woke up with a thankful and grateful heart today cause it can be 100 times worse. I made it through, another year to be so appreciative. Good morning show gratitude today for all that you and your family has.

When the dust finally settles and you get to choose what’s next. I’m choosing to accept my wrongs, defend my rights, and improve myself. It truly hurts to walk away from something you have known for so long, your comfortable spot, your safety net, the one thing/place/or person you knew would always be there. You have to go through the feelings though, as much as you don’t want to and as much as you try to avoid it, there will be a day where it’s time to feel instead of flee. Fleeing from the fear of letting go, moving forward, acceptance, and acknowledgement. That’s where you have to wear your big girl undies ladies, and sit in your sh*t I like to say. I sit in my sh*t daily, gazing at the ceiling or on my phone and then my mind is wandering off. Having flashbacks and sudden emotions start to arise. I think to myself, you have really did it this time or its a burst of tears; tears of joy and tears of sorrow but I don’t resist I put myself right back in the moment. The moment where I may have made one of the biggest mistakes of my life or the moment where I have accomplished one of the goals I felt was never possible at some point in my life. Whatever it is for you, next time embrace it, feel it, and breathe again because its over now.

11 months into the year and its time I accept my solitude, and for a while I was afraid to admit I was scared of being alone and not having someone as in a partner or significant other and that’s just because since I was 11 I tried my hardest to get another person to love and accept me. Now at the age of 28, 2 kids, 2 failed relationships with my children’s father’s, and currently in my first full year of being SINGLE again and free I am noticing that as much as I tried to date this year and get to know new people its just not my time. God wants me to practice and embrace solitude with myself, being fully devoted to him, and improving my self-development. For months I have denied it, I have resisted, and I have tried my own ways which did not work. Today I am committing myself to fully embracing and practicing my solitude, what’s for me in due time will come without worry, discomfort, and confusion. Right now its my time to get to know myself more, fully become whole, strengthen my relationship with God, and focus on my well-being.
