Continue reading →: Do Black Lives Really Matter?
I heard about another shooting and I was again hesitant to look up the details. I had good reason, but how could I avoid it. Alton Sterling’s picture was plastered everywhere. The video capturing his murder quickly going viral…the outrage escalating…the pain eminating through a people…silently and aloud: Do…

I hadn’t planned to write this…to share this…I hate that I’m now even aware of this at all, but this headline met my gaze any way: 4 Children Stabbed to Death in Memphis, Mother in Custody I saw the pictures taken…one showing the young lady allegedly responsible for the heinous…

I’ve written about the butterfly’s transition before and I thought I was pretty much done with that analogy, but then I considered the process I’ve experienced and the new territory I’ve been given. That old cocoon of who I used to be was dark and dreary. I couldn’t see my way and…

Just a bit of randomness…I’d already had this thought on my mind on the drive to church, but today’s sermon wrapped things up nicely in my mind and heart. Looking back…oh how grateful I am for my transformation! How beautiful I’ve become! I remember when I was in 9th grade,…

Continue reading →: Clearly a Time to Rest
I’ve been locked in a tug of war emotionally, spiritually, and physically for a few weeks now. However, until this moment I assumed that I wouldn’t need to revisit this place of uncertainty again. This restlessness has me tossing and turning while I’m wide awake. I tire of the things…

Just Receive!!! It’s something I’ve struggled with all my life. Whether it’s receiving a compliment, help, admiration, or even an invitation. I drafted the title of this post months if not more than a year ago in fact. I knew then God was teaching me to receive His love, attention,…

You have permission to be great!!! You are great! You have gifts and talents no one else has! You’re a rare find! True Humility is knowing your limitations and having an attitude of gratitude for the help provided. The opposite of that is being overly self-sufficient. I was addicted to…

This is the face of a victim: This is the face of another victim, her assailant: Amazing how he already had a mug shot or two floating in the system…… The first picture was once a mother of two young girls.Her body was found the other day only minutes from my…
Hey Lovelies and Gents,
I’m Nadia
Welcome to my cozy corner of relational sanity. Once upon a time, I started a blog, but I was bound by codependency and low self-worth, so though I penned encouragement for others, I never really took my own advice. Fast forward nearly a decade later, I’ve revisited and finally fully embraced those tidbits of wisdom the Lord led me to express so many years ago. That said, I’m glad to catch up with myself and to help you release whatever has you bound. A word of caution, though: I’m holy, but I cuss a lil’ bit, so occasionally, there may be some colorful language, so please eat the meat and spit out the bones. Ensure the Lord sent you here so we can learn and grow together. I guess that’s a long enough intro for now. Until Later.
