Speak On It!


I now know what I must do. I've got to stop looking at everything that is wrong with me and speaking on it. I have learned that the more I say those things, the more they show up in my life.

No wonder I haven't been able to lose weight or get healthy this year, I'm too busy speaking negativity over my life: Look at my stomach - I can't stand it!

No wonder I don't have the energy or willpower to get up and move or eat right, I am a self-fulfilling prophecy: Oh my God, I'm so tired, I can barely move.

Instead of trying a new diet, watching another weight loss show, or picking up another you-can-do-it-book, I am going to study the Word, believe the Word, and speak the Word over this temple. It has worked for me in every other area of my life...what have I got to lose? Um...weight, negative thoughts, emotional baggage!

Ladies, whatever the most challenging part of your alignment is—whether it be mind, body, or spirit, or a mixture of them—it's time to speak over yourself and encourage yourself. Speak your promotion, your health, your increase, your next level! 

MIND: Dr. Daniel Amen coined the acronym, ANT, automatic negative thoughts. These are the thoughts that come to mind without us doing anything. We usually never discuss them with anyone, AND we don't do anything to try to stop them. This week, pay special attention to the ANTs. When they occur, STOP everything you are doing, and speak over yourself. Turn the negatives into positives.

BODY: Speak wellness into your temple. When you feel your blood pressure rise, speak peace. When you reach for another piece of bread, speak satiation. When you feel tired, speak energy and vitality over yourself. When you don't feel like working out, get up and move anyway. 

SPIRIT: When you feel down this week, encourage yourself. Spend time with Him, praising Him, thanking Him, telling Him all about your successes and how He has been a part of each one. Then, ask Him to deal with your misalignment. Ask Him to show you what to do, and then say it aloud! 

“Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit—you choose,” (Proverbs 18:21 The Message)

Buried Alive (The REAL Reason for L.A.M.B.S.)

As a child, I was molested by my babysitter and by a family member. As a teenager, boys from my neighborhood raped me. The first time I was molested, I thought the child in me died. I lost my innocence, sense of wonder, trust, optimism, stability, happiness, and other things that I didn’t discover until I got older. As a woman, I have repeatedly relived every painful moment and result of the abuse, and I have realized that the little girl in me didn’t die...she was buried alive. When I thought about my life and burst into tears, the little girl was mourning. When I had trouble trusting people and forming relationships, the little girl was resisting. When I insisted on controlling everything around me, the little girl needed structure and security. When I functioned in chaos while everyone around me was falling apart, the little girl was making sense of it all, so that she could go on living. For years, I struggled with the dichotomy of self. There was the strong and confident wom...

Shining Star

There are times in your life when you retreat to a dark place that no one knows about. It is the place you go to when what you are facing is too difficult or too painful to face in the light. There is nothing wrong with going to this place on rare occasion, as I believe that we all retreat to a place of darkness sometimes. The problem begins when you stay in that place and take up residence there. Be cautious in the darkness. You will take missteps, run into things, fall, lose your bearings, become frustrated, and you may even sink deeper into the darkness. However, you must realize that if you just focus on the light, everything will become clear. The key remembrance in the dark place is that you are naturally a child of light. Do not be fooled into thinking that once you visit the darkness that there is no turning back. Light is only a thought or a prayer away. A simple way to think about this is to reflect on night and day. They exist at the same...

DYM: The Wonder Years

I wonder how much different things would be Dear younger me Our minds have the ability to dream about the future and remember the past.  I’d bet that most of us spend our time thinking about what we could have or should have done differently. We spend countless hours, days, and years replaying events and wondering what would have happened if we made a different choice. We ask ourselves questions like: What if I’d fought harder? What if I’d gone to school when I had the chance? What if I’d asked for more money when I took the job? What if I’d stayed instead of leaving? What if I’d left when it happened the first time? What if I’d chosen a different profession? What if I’d chosen a different mate? What if . . . and the list goes on. We spend the precious time that we have now running through scenarios that could have, maybe, possibly changed our current situation. We play the blame game. We cry. We get angry. We. Waste. Time.  I believe the only rea...
