I didn't learn accountability until later on in life. Right before Jax was born, we did a spiritual fast at our church and were assigned accountability partners. Someone we could check in with and make sure we were doing what we were supposed to do to reach our goal and if we weren't they would get us back on track. In this episode I discuss me slacking on my goals. This is me holding myself accountable. Who or what (if anything) do you use for your accountability? Or are you just out here living life all willy nilly?

We will always suffer loss, we just have to be sure to have a backdrop to bouncing back. We need a constant reminder to get back to healing.
Love can be an amazing ride or a horrible crash. It's up to you what you take away from it.
"Heavy is the head that wears the crown". King Henry IV
Then why not relinquish the crown? Why carry around heavy burdens and responsibilities that will give you anxiety?
For status?
For money?
There were a few break ups going on in my life over the last few months and Anxiety was one of them.
Sugar in My Grits was a metaphor for what brought me joy.
More + Love
More + Understanding
More + Gratitude
Find your joy in this world and don't be afraid to go get MORE!!
Being a mother is a privilege not everyone gets or wants.
Choose wisely because you aren't the only one that has to live with the decision.
We all have assignments. All of us have a specific gift, a purpose. Play the role God has given you.
Humbly. Authentically. Even if the foundation shakes beneath you.
Some conversations bring about more questions that answers.
What will your Obituary say?
Will it just be a collage of pictures and seemingly important dates?
Or will you have left an impact on people? A legacy.
A refreshing take on mourning people that aren't dead. Amanda talks about understanding the signs of depression and recognizing when God is sending someone to save you. Don't lay there too long or you may very well be mistaken for dead.
Get up girl!!
Get up bro!!
