Deal With Yourself

Published August 14, 2019

The hardest thing for a man to do is deal with himself—introspectively confront his own emotional pain and trauma, so that he can stop unjustly inflicting it on others. In many vain attempts to find peace, he keeps evading the real problem—himself—perpetually blaming others for what he sees in the mirror.

Eventually he realizes that the problem is really him, but sadly he pushes away the people who can only help him. This use to be me until I dealt with me—but now I’m healed—now I’m free because peace is not a place, but a space within me. #CryLikeAMan

Never Forget Where Yah Has Brought You From

September 19, 2019

It’s deep how life comes full circle at times. I met this brother Sierra in 1991 when I was trying to get in shape. Little did I know that the Most High crossed our paths so that I could build my spiritual “muscles.” Sierra was not only a trainer at a national chain gym but a man of God—and later I discovered he was married to my good friend from high school, Youlanda. Sierra was a strong influence in my life and we became close friends.

Life is full of decisions, but life is not about decisions

I am so thankful I listened to wisdom instead of my emotions because another strong rain could have caused some potentially costly damage. Also, a flat-roof in Michigan is not ideal—it needs to be maintained annually. Praise Yah for my neighbor because another month of procrastinating could have cost our family💰!
