When you hear the word UNCONDITIONAL, what is the first thought that enters your mind? What does unconditional mean to you? No, really take a moment and think! I promise its deserving of your time and effort at this moment.
I know the very thought of this word should exhibit power and command endurance. Endurance that will not easily allow you to give up when life does not show up in the way we want it to. This word illustrates promise and assurance. A promise that diffuses our minds' discrimination. This type of love is not for the weak at heart but for those who embody a despite everything attitude.

On the beautiful day of Tuesday, August 23, 2017, I had the honor and privilege to take my two beautiful daughters to their first day of school. My oldest daughter entering the eighth grade and my middle daughter entering the fifth grade. The morning started off great, with Damaria waking me up before I could wake her up, with so much excitement she asked if it is time to get dressed. I raise up from my bed with a smile and tell her yes. I go to wake Saniya and tell her it's time to get ready for school. I watch as they move through their daily morning routine and I realize this is the start of something new, the beginning of something different. My daughters are growing up and another chapter of their life is about to begin. They are about to face new challenges and gain new knowledge.
Has anyone every told you that everything bad that shows up in your life's journey isn't at the fault of someone else? Do you know the power you possess within your being? Well if you are not feeling this way about yourself let's talk about how you allowed yourself to not think highly of yourself as you ought to. It's called self-sabotage. Self-sabotage? How is it possible to cause such attacks on myself and all the goals I strive to attain. There is no way I would do such a thing to myself you say. In this case it's a lot easier done that said. Most will not admit the issues that continuous show up in their lives is cause due to avoided problems or quieted fears covered up by mind-easing excuses that give you permission to stay exactly where you are. Hoping that you are the only one disappointing yourself and buying time to talk yourself out of doing what you are suppose doing with this beautiful journey we call life.
I will never forget the phone call I received back in February 2009. It was late in the evening around 11:00 - 11:30pm. The girls were sleeping and I was dozing off to sleep myself. It was a long work day that day and my bed was the best thing smoking. I looked at the phone, it was my mother. With much hesitation I answered, not wanting to disturb my dozing, but it was no surprise she was calling at this hour. She did it all the time. I never realized that moment would change my life forever!
