Protect Your Knees: Bad Knees Ruin the Fun

Protect Your Knees: Bad Knees Ruin the Fun

Over the last few years, I’ve made it a point to be more active in my life. Turning 50 had a lot to do with that. I found myself on a journey of self-discovery when I turned 50, not knowing where to go or who to turn to. Age sent me spiraling in a way I hadn’t ever witnessed before—not because of the getting older aspect, but more of what to expect.

People are aging every day, but no one really knows

what the aging process will look like for them. Let’s

face it: aging is a process not too many people are

willing to talk about. We all would want to believe

that somehow it would skip us and no one would be

the wiser, as if we were able to walk around like

ageless vampires (if only, lol). The truth of the matter is it’s happening whether we like it or not.

Women Are Living Longer and Healthier

Moving Forward by Moving Backwards: Finding the Lesson in Life’s Interruptions

Have you ever been lost in the perfect reading moment? You’re cozied up with your favorite book, soft jazz playing in the background, the lighting just right, maybe even a delicious piece of chocolate nearby. Then suddenly—the doorbell rings, your dog barks, or a loud noise startles you. You jump, and when you look down, the pages are shuffled. Not only are you pulled out of your peaceful zone, but you can’t remember what page you were on.

This has happened to me countless times. The decision to go back through the chapters is not only frustrating but also disappointing—especially when you were just about to discover something new in the story.

Wrong or Right, You Win 🥇

Wrong or Right, You Win 🥇

Many people debate their thoughts every day, whether it be with themselves or with someone else. In most cases, one person or fact is right while the opposing argument is wrong, leaving the loser feeling indifferent. But what if there was no opposition and both parties were right?

One of the common arguments in a debate is to provide facts and prove one wrong. The issue here is that everyone has and is coming from a different point of view. Neuroscientists have proven that the brain is developed in such a way that everything a person experiences by the age of 5 will be carried out through their adult life. Hence, whatever life experiences—whether good or bad—we all have been affected by life interactions, shaping our ability or inability to understand other people’s opinions.

This is something I myself have come to realize as I started to understand and practice mindfulness. Once I started to pay attention to my own way of thinking, I was then able to connect the dots. The truth of the matter, when closely examined, is that most of the time it’s all one big misunderstanding.

This is why I believe, as it’s said in Matthew 7:3-5,when Jesus said to first take the plank out of your own eye before pointing at someone else’s. We all have areas we may not be able to see in ourselves. Rather than drive our beliefs home, it may be wise to take in what one is saying to ensure an opportunity to learn or change something in ourselves. This is one of the fastest ways to ensure success in anyone’s life.

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Finding Light in the Darkness: A Story of Resourcefulness and Grace 🍀

­Finding Light in the Darkness: A Story of Resourcefulness and Grace 🍀

There’s a beautiful truth about the human spirit—when faced with scarcity, we become masters of creativity.

I once heard a story about a 13-year-old boy who would wake before dawn to gather pieces of charcoal that fell from passing wagons. His family couldn’t afford to heat their home, so this young soul took it upon himself to provide warmth for those he loved. What courage. What determination.

This is how our minds work under pressure—we adapt, we innovate, we survive.

We’re all artists, really, painting our way through life with whatever brushes we’re given.

 Making 2026 Your Most Prosperous Year Yet

Now that the holiday season is almost over, here are some of the things we can do to ensure that 2026 is a prosperous year! It’s easy to fall into complacency as the holidays can leave us stuffed with fine treats and good wine, leaving you feeling tired and a bit overwhelmed—especially if you haven’t planned a game plan of action.

The Body-Mind Disconnect: Why We’ve Lost Touch 🌸

The Body-Mind Disconnect: Why We’ve Lost Touch 🌸

In today’s fast-paced world, something profound has shifted in how women relate to their bodies. We’ve become strangers to ourselves—rushing through days on autopilot, ignoring the subtle signals our bodies send, and living perpetually disconnected from our feminine essence.

This disconnection isn’t limited to single mothers or women facing economic hardship. Even women in stable, two-parent households find themselves caught in this same trap. The truth is, stress doesn’t discriminate. Whether you’re juggling careers, managing households, or simply trying to meet the endless demands placed on modern women, the result is the same: we’ve lost touch with our bodies’ wisdom.

The Cost of Disconnection 💔

Reclame your health – change what you conume 

Reclame your health – change what you conume 

When managing uterine fibroids, what you avoid eating can be just as important as what you include in your diet. Certain foods may contribute to inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and conditions that allow fibroids to thrive. Understanding these dietary triggers empowers you to make informed choices that support your body’s natural healing processes.

Midlife Cosmetic Shift: Reclaim Your Power 💪

Midlife Cosmetic Shift: Reclaim Your Power 💪

What you eat can change your life. This isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a truth that millions of Black women are discovering as they navigate one of the most challenging health issues of midlife: uterine fibroids.

The Silent Epidemic 🩺

Every day, millions of Black women are diagnosed with fibroids, often left feeling lost, empty, and unsure of where to turn. Uterine fibroids—benign tumors that grow in or on the uterus—affect up to 80% of women by age 50. Yet despite all our medical advances, Black women are disproportionately affected by this condition.

I know this struggle intimately. Just shy of my 40th birthday, I found myself in a cold, white hospital room, only to be told practically nothing and sent on my way. Frustrated and desperate for answers, I was forced to do my own research. After many late nights searching until the early morning hours, I started to realize: if I wanted change, I had to make the changes myself.

Check out Episode #255 to discover the life-changing things I implemented to see lasting results.

Why Are Black Women More Affected? 🤔

Breaking Free from Perfectionism: Embracing God’s Plan 🌟

Breaking Free from Perfectionism: Embracing God’s Plan 🌟

 

There is no doubt in my mind perfectionism is ranking at the top of the list—it saddens me when I think to myself there’s a person right now who will never get the chance to experience all of what God has to offer all because of that person’s inability to think positive about an outcome— It wasn’t until I found myself on my own journey of doing inner work over two decades ago that I was confronted with these adverse thoughts.

The Prison of Perfectionism 🔒

Perfectionism is a silent dream killer. It whispers lies with phrases like you don’t have what is takes or another lie like your not  good enough, A mindset like this has kept many people stuck, preventing them from stepping into the fullness of their purpose and experiencing the abundant life God has prepared for them.

When we’re trapped in perfectionism, we’re essentially telling God that His grace isn’t sufficient—that we need to be flawless before we can move forward. But that’s not how divine love works. Continue reading “Breaking Free from Perfectionism: Embracing God’s Plan 🌟”
