Have y’all seen the movie The Woman King yet? If not, let me tell you, it’s a must-watch! One of the standout moments for me was a powerful quote delivered by the incredible Viola Davis: “We don’t act alone.”

This simple yet profound statement shows the essence of the film’s message about the value of community. The women in The Woman King are depicted as powerful forces of strength and resilience, but their true power emerges when they come together. Through their unity, they strategize, plan, and support one another, creating a unified team that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

In the movie, their collaborative efforts significantly reduce the number of casualties and lead them to victory in their battles. It’s a vivid illustration of how collective effort and mutual support can yield remarkable results.

Now, imagine how much better our world could be if we all embraced this mindset. What if we prioritized working together, leveraging each other’s strengths, and covering each other’s weaknesses? How much more could we achieve? The sense of solidarity and shared purpose seen in The Woman King is something we could all learn from and apply in our own lives.

So, next time you face a challenge, remember Viola Davis’s words: “We don’t act alone.” Let’s strive to build communities where we lift each other up, collaborate, and create a world where unity and cooperation lead us to greater heights.

I recently watched “The Best Man: The Final Chapters,” and while I’m not here to spoil the plot for those who haven’t seen it, I can’t help but share some of the valuable lessons the show imparted. One theme that resonated deeply with me was the significance of community and the unique ways in which friends show up for one another.

In one scene, the community of friends rallies around a friend in need, each contributing in their own distinct way. One friend brought food, another came with drinks, and a third arrived with a deck of cards. These gestures, though varied, were equally meaningful. Each friend supported their loved one in the way they knew best, demonstrating that showing up authentically is what truly matters.

This scene is a beautiful reminder of the power of community. It teaches us that the best way to support our friends is by being true to ourselves. Whether it’s providing a meal, offering a listening ear, or bringing a bit of fun, our unique contributions are valuable. The key is to always show up for your friends when they need you, in a way that feels genuine to you.

So, the next time a friend is in need, remember: it’s not about what you bring, but that you bring yourself, authentically and wholeheartedly. Your presence, in whatever form it takes, is what makes all the difference.

I could easily call this blog “The Keith Lee Effect”—but I won’t. If you aren’t sure who Keith Lee is, he’s a boxer, a lover of God, and a food connoisseur. He visits different restaurants in various cities, trying a variety of places—mom-and-pop shops, local recommendations, and stories submitted to help the community. He usually purchases his food to go, records himself trying the food on camera, and then gives it a rating. If the rating is great, within hours of him posting the review online, the restaurant experiences an increased demand that they often aren’t prepared for—this is the backside of a blessing!

Blessings can be messy!

Everyone prays for blessings, but are you prepared for the overflow? 

Do you have systems in place to handle increased demand? If you are praying for more money, do you have a plan for how you will steward it?

My new request when I pray for a blessing is for the wisdom to steward it well!

I expected to have power when I woke up on May 29th, but flipping the light switch confirmed it was still out. After heading to the gym, I came home to a thoughtful delivery from a friend—a smoothie and healthy chips for breakfast. #joymoments

The office day was pretty nice, filled with check-ins from family, friends, and coworkers. I finally got an update from Oncor, which stated:

“ONCOR is repairing storm damage and estimates power restoration between today and Friday, with harder-hit areas by Saturday. Seek alternative accommodations if without power. Check your meter base for damage and contact an electrician if needed. Thank you for your patience.”

Following their advice, I made arrangements to stay at my sister’s house for a few days. I’m grateful to have so many family members and friends offering their homes to me.
