Transparency Tuesday: Family Dynamics
Happy Tuesday y'all! I found myself so sad last night as I laid in bed talking with my hubby. I shared with him a truth that I often gloss over as it relates to my relationship with my mother. I don't have a lot of expectations for people because I have been constantly let down by those whom I love the most. And while I am OK not being able to depend on those I love even for what seems like the simplest of things it still hurts when you can't. I never got to really experience

My pastor delivered a powerful word (per u

Misery loves company
I know that's hella cliche, but it doesn't make it any less true. People who are miserable want nothing more than to bring you into their hell. But just because they want to go to hell doesn't mean you have to join them. Respectfully, you can go to hell all by yourself. I took this one to tiktok first because I needed to express my sentiments out loud. This is a season of enforcing boundaries! If you are committed to living in a hell filled state, I will not being joining you
