Hey y’all! So I went to an amazing conference over the weekend! It’s really more like a family reunion. Lol. I finally put some names to some faces and met some of the coaches from the mentorship program. I always feel the best way I learn is to implement what I learned and to share it with others.

So here’s my top 7 nuggets in no particular order:

1. God gives creative abundance. What I do with the creative abundance determines if I get financial abundance.
2. Sometimes you need to be in a room to get permission to be you and do what God called you to do.
3. Content is an exchange of goods and services and the compensation is the way to say thank you.
4. You are not who you are after you are encouraged, you are who you are at your natural state.
5. Money respects itself so much that it will not come to someone who will waste it.
6. Certain rooms will change your appetite and you get hungry for things that you didn’t even know you needed.
7. Greatness is mandatory.

Because I’m me, here’s a bonus nugget:

Those who are uniquely successful treat what others deem optional as mandatory!

I have so many pages of notes that I wouldn’t even try to share in one blog! The best conferences are those that make me examine what I am doing and lead me right back to Jesus.

What’s your favorite conference to attend?

In a world with a heightened awareness of seeking approval from others through social media likes, comments, and reshares I have to ensure I’m grounded in who God says I am.

We are in such a beautiful time with information easily at our disposal within seconds. However, on the flip side, we can consume 20 to 30 different images in less than a minute on social media telling us we should be more like this or that.

To be honest it isn’t normal to consume information so quickly because we can’t filter or process all the images we are seeing.

As the Information age continues to rise, I have to be willing to decrease my intake and fall on my knees and have an encounter with the one and true King.

Before I fill my eyes with any social media post, GIF, and y’all I love a good laugh, I have to fill my heart, mind, and soul with the word of God.

The only approval that weighs the heaviest in my life is my Heavenly Father. Once I’m approved by him, it becomes easier to tune out the noise of others.

I am writing this blog while I am on a plane in a holding pattern. While I don’t know all the instances a holding pattern is used, I’ll share with you my experience on a plane in this holding pattern.

We were descending into DFW airport and the captain came on the intercom and advised of bad weather. All flights in the air were halted from flying into the airport and for 10 mins we were circling in the area in a holding pattern in the air until we were cleared to land.

After I landed, I began to do a little research on a holding pattern. Based on my knowledge a holding pattern is a period of no progress or change and for a plane it is when you are awaiting permission to land.

I realized sometimes we may have holding patterns in our own lives. There may be areas where there’s no progress or we are stagnant in our growth. I think holding patterns usually start in our minds and thoughts and eventually lead to our hearts and become part of our actions.

Mind -> Heart -> Action

They can derive from a variety of things such as fear, unbelief, or a lack of direction or clarity. The best and hardest thing to do if you want to release yourself of the holding pattern is to become the person and do the thing that brings you growth.

Question of the day: What is stopping you from releasing yourself from a holding pattern?

Last week’s blog: Exposure

I am often asked why I travel so much. I can sum this answer up in one word, exposure.

Exposure breeds curiosity.

I was exposed to travel in high school, and after that, while I didn’t have the means to travel as often as I liked in college, I was finally able to pursue my love of travel after finishing school. The one thing about exposure is that once you are exposed to something you can never be unexposed to it. For me, I realized travel exposed me to so many different cultures, landscapes, lifestyles, cuisine experiences and much more. Through my exposure to traveling, I encountered various situations and learned resilience. So, if you see me on the plane just know traveling is just one of my hobbies that I was exposed to, and it captivated me.

What’s something you were exposed to which changed your life?

My friend Brittany mentioned this quote recently and I knew I wanted to share and talk about it on my blog.

“I don’t participate in other’s perception of me.”

This quote while simple was profound for me. I’ve learned everyone has opinions and perceptions of others – right, wrong, and or indifferent. And if we aren’t careful, we will find ourselves interacting to accommodate others t for a favorable perception.

Storytime: I was in a meeting recently and I had a question about the content discussed. I asked a clarifying question earlier in the discussion and was hesitant to ask another question. At that moment, I asked myself a question, Was I willing to sacrifice learning valuable information at the cost of someone’s perception of me? Heck no!

So y’all know, I asked the question anyway because I don’t participate in other’s perceptions of me.

While I do my best to consider others if deemed necessary, I recognize, I’m human and something I do may impact how they perceive me. For example, my tone may be too high or too low, and someone may perceive that my attitude is off or I’m doing too little or too much on my blog. Guess what? That’s okay, it’s their perception of me. I can love others and not participate in their perceptions of me at the same time! ✌🏽
