Chapter 33: “The Year of Trials” - ✅
Chapter 34: “Dare. Advance. Motivate. Newness. (DAMN)”- Loading… 🍻

Took a bit of time to think this through.
PARDON THE LATE POST!

To close Chapter 33 of my life is nothing short of amazing, yet still bitter sweet!

Bitter in the sense that I did not accomplish everything on my bucket list- for good reason; ADVANCED HEART FAILURE.

With 6 months of Chapter 33 spent identifying why I was drowning in fluid (55 pounds of it- thank the Lawd I’m a good swimmer and young! 😂😂) and beginning the healing process, having progress in life’s other areas halted, coupled with the uncertainty of what lies ahead in this adventure, it is easy to say that this is a bitter sweet ending.

SWEET in the sense that I AM STILL HERE!
Still inspiring.
Still motivating.
Still improving.
Still learning.
Still sharing my light!

Through each trial of chapter 33, I was able to see God move (I wanted to get closer to the Lawd this chapter but not by playing DING D**G DITCH with death ☠️ 😂😅)!

I saw my friends and family step up, saw the help of strangers in my time of need, and was showered with prayers and support! I cannot thank you enough!

(Link in bio if you would like to support 🔗🖤)

Also, I was able to accomplish so many things from book writing, training content creation, improve my video and photography skills ( - UPDATES COMING SOON), laugh, experience more of life, and learn to view life with a more beautiful lens!

Thank you all for your continued support and birthday love 🎉 🍻

This year will be one hell of an adventure!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
TOPIC- "BE A CHAMPION!"
QUESTION- ARE YOU SOMEONE'S CHAMPION?!

CHANGE! The one word that causes people's hearts to race, stomachs to turn, and knees to quiver! Many people do not like change! People operate off patterns, and change impacts the rhythm! It can bring a level of uncertainty, but by changing your scope, change can bring many new opportunities! But what if you are the person implementing the change- the change agent? What if you are being brought into a new space or position? Times like this call for a CHAMPION!

A champion isn't always someone who wins. They are the person who helps others to win by offering their support. From being an advocate for new elements in the workplace, helping someone get acclimated to new positions, enhancing processes by offering their support versus it being requested, to something as small as being the first to respond to a group email to break the ice and stir up conversations (shout out to the heavy penguins!), a champion is critical when change is on the horizon! Their added human capital could be the missing link needed to implement change or make a transition easier!

So, who are your champions? If you are trying to implement change, have you considered getting a champion on board? Are you a CHAMPION?!?

THE CHARGE- Take time to assess the change around you and see if there are opportunities to be a CHAMPION!
