Art Journaling: Creativity Without Limits

Art is an essential form of therapy that most of us simply can’t live without, at least that is the case for me! but busy schedules and expensive materials sometimes stand in the way of me getting to do some of the larger projects I’ve been wanting to do. While scouring the internet I came across the idea of Art Journaling as a fun and creative way to release those creative urges, while resisting the need for splurging on expensive art materials. Creating these types of journals can be both beautiful and empowering. They allow you to express true authenticity while exploring various, non-expensive (sometimes FREE) materials, and my favorite part, they can either take an hour or a few days to create. It’s your blank canvas to explore!! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get ...

Protect Your Genius

For those of you who struggle to comprehend the value & worth of your giftings, ponder this poem that I wrote just for you! https://youtube.com/shorts/Nal7ImBSJnU?feature=share "STOP giving your genius away for FREE! It cost you everything to get it, now protect it like you mean it. Nurture it, water it, and when it's time to release it, set your sales price according to the pain it cost you to birth it. And, if said person don't agree, keep moven' while shaken the dust right off your feet. You'll find that in time The right people will align And that God-given destiny will flourish RIGHT. ON. TIME." -Jae Teague #shetalkslife

Motivational Mondays: Confidence Under Pressure!

Everything about my background made it possible for me to suffer from low self-esteem and depression for most of my childhood and young adult life. It wasn't until I learned how to tear down the lies and triggers that kept me circling my potential, that I was finally able to step into my true identity and confidence in Christ. Here is a quick overview of how you can make this happen too! https://youtu.be/XydUbOtvuSI

Color Blind

This is the first week since I’ve taken the jump into full time mommy hood and entrepreneurship. I can’t describe the amount of freedom that flooded my overworked mind, and overfilled schedule, after leaving Corporate America after 10 years of my career. (I’ve checked my phone a few times in anticipation of missed calls and texts from coworkers requests. Only to find no such thing. Ahhh, what a feeling!) I realized being an “employee” was my nemesis. It kept me going just enough to provide a temporary relief to my creative abilities, while simultaneously holding me back from everything I was born to be. I don’t knock it, however. It also provided a good roadmap of what I like, what I don’t like, who I want to be as a boss, how I will treat future employees, so forth and so on. Now,...

Corners

At the end of every straight path in life there is a moment when things change. It’s that moment when you can either go left, right, or somewhere in between. Nonetheless, there is a bind, or corner that meets you head on, despite you anticipating it’s arrival or not. The scary part of the corner is not knowing what lies just ahead the bind. It’s tough wondering about the unknown, and yet, here we are, once again at corners edge. I heard someone quote once, that “life gets better with age.” I wonder if they learned to master the corners or if they learned to let go of expectations and just go along for the ride, corners and all? Hmm, I guess I’ll find out one day when age finds me years ahead. I’m sure by then I’ll be counting my blessings, and processing the corners. Was I brav...

My Melody of Life

Yesterday I turned 33 years old, and alike most birthdays, the week surrounding offered time & space for me to reflect on EVERYTHING. All that is. All that was. All that will be. This years reflection was much different than most, however. Usually I would comb through many failures before landing on a few accomplishments I was most proud of. I would hold on to those accomplishments for dear life before crashing back into a sea of my mistakes, mishaps, and mess ups. This past year I’ve grown. I can feeeelllll the growth. I’ve learned the recipe to a joyful me starts with appreciating ALL of me, at every level and stage I so happen to be in. With that being said, I’ve decided to celebrate the me of today. The me that hasn’t yet arrived at total freedom, but the me that’s grown en...

There’s Giants in the Land

I open my eyes to see giants before me. They growl with an intent to intimidate me. Some foam at the mouth with the greatest intention to do bodily harm. I'm shaken and am in fear immediately. Then, a noise behind me grabs my attention. I am quickly terrified at the thought of more giants being behind me, as I am already severely outnumbered. As I turn I can see I a host of an angelic presence standing bold, authoritatively, with the power of the sword at their fingertips. They are ready to fight on my behalf! They greatly outnumber the force in front of me and are more equipped by far. I quickly go from being fearful to being thankful! Lesson: you may be intimated, scared and vastly outnumbered by what's in front of you; BUT, standing just behind you waiting to fight for you, is alw...

Him

The day I lost Him was the day my emotional trauma moved in, or at least from what I can remember. My father loved me, but was caught up in a bad situation and wound up in prison from the time I was 3 till a few months before my 30th bday. I often times ached with pain and felt lonely, disappointed, empty, heart broken and down-right frustrated. I always felt like a piece of my identity was missing, bouts of depression and anxiety ensued. I missed him most when I got to high school. Seeing and hearing the stories of girls who I thought was really “lucky” to have their dads in their lives. They were definitely better than me I thought. I could also understand more at that point why he wasn’t there. That just angered me even more. I am writing today, not to give advise or to say s...
