Sit In Your Truth

What’s up truth community! Happy first Monday of May! If you are not aware, May is Mental Health awareness month. Every year, the goal for various organizations is to fight the stigma, provide support and educate / advocate for people with mental illness as well as their families. With that being said, my goal is to contribute to all of the above. I am not a doctor, nor do I ever portray myself to be. However, you do not have to be a doctor, have a mental illness or know someone with a mental illness to be[...]

How many of you feel like you are a blessed mess right now? I’m blessed to be alive, have my family with me during quarantine and the opportunity work from home during this pandemic. However, it’s like no matter how happy I am the enemy attempts to make it a point to remind me that I’ve failed in an effort to take my joy, creativity, peace etc. We as humans are far too critical of ourselves. It’s like we have a recording in our mind that replays everything we did wrong. We also have insecurities that[...]

  First quarter is supposed to be an exciting time of the year! I was extremely pumped and ready to take on new challenges and receive new blessings. However, January 2020 has been filled with more than enough depression triggering events. Our world is on fire, the corona virus is killing a mass number of humans daily, my favorite sportsman and 8 others died triadically in an accident and our government sent thousands of troops on deployment; amongst a lot of other things! My spirit has been filled with[...]

I am in a phase in my life where I am being tested in my relationship, friendships, and career. Things are not bad but I am a firm believer in continuous improvement; thus, I have been working on how I show up differently in all of these areas. I have always found comfort in growing through learning opportunities because I believe worldly tests make me stronger spiritually. What I have come to realize is that I will not necessarily prompt or inflict all learning opportunities onto myself. There will be situa[...]

Truth of, Tauneisha Williams My name is Tauneisha Lashe' Williams. I'm here to share my story. A very long time ago I was taken from my mother due to her drug habit. I was raised by a God fearing Pastor Ms. Pamela Latimer. I'm not going to make this long… My only wish is to help someone that needs a listening ear. My younger years were the hardest. I went thru juvenile, prison, being shot, addicted to drugs, issues with cps because of my drug habit, amongst other things… I've been from sleeping in park[...]

Truth of, Raquel White “Be wise as serpents, but innocent as doves.” My truth about co-parenting... I took my focus off of how to “fix” the other party and placing blame became a thing of the past. I transferred that energy into becoming the very best mom and parent partner I could be. I make it a point to sacrifice and compensate so that my son receives the most out of his young life and avoids exposure to things that could hinder him. I realized I couldn’t protect him from everything a[...]

Truth of, Mukoma Simpanya I sat in my apartment deliberating on what truth I wanted to share and after about 2 hours it hit me the truth that is still a constant struggle for me even today and one many immigrants share. The truth I sit in and want to give voice to is one of identity. I was born in Zambia, Africa and grew up in Australia. I learned about both cultures and embraced both so when I’m asked “What are you?” and “Where are you from?” I’m often faced with the task of delivering a[...]

When was the last time you reconnected with yourself? Are you currently living life as your true self? Or are you living life how the people around you want you to live it? I get it; hiding behind the artificial shadow of yourself is an easy task. We get up, put on our face and get through the day best as we know how. But have you ever realized that faking the funk requires more energy than just being yourself? Being an unauthentic version of our self leaves us exhausted and disconnected. It really takes cou[...]
