You, the beautiful flower...not the packet of seeds

Affirmation: Bloom Into Your Best Self

A flower does not think of competing against the flower next to it. It simply blooms!

Today, I make a list of all my abilities, accomplishments, and qualities. These are the gifts I will nourish so I can flourish and continue to grow stronger.

Age is not a limitation; it is filled with wisdom and life lessons that I can share with those who are sent across my path.

My physical, mental, and emotional scars-the weeds that once tried to choke me-are continuing to be removed until all I can see is the flourishing bouquet I have become.

I am ready. Let's do this!

Who isn't delighted by a gorgeous rose, a beautiful symbol of love, romance, and life itself?

It didn't start out that way, though.

Nature's storms pelt the little seed in a way that mirrors what we experience in life. However, turbulent moments are often where roots grow deepest and where the seed begins to take the shape of a beautiful flower-if, as the gardener, you nourish your seed (your life) properly.

In spite of the thorns-the trials of life-the transformation brings you from a tightly closed bud into a magnificent bloom.

When shopping for flowers, you look at the photographs on the seed packages. They do not show you what the seeds look like in their current state: dark, shriveled, and seemingly unable to showcase their true beauty and potential.

The package shows the magnificent end result.

Given the right nutrients and care, that seed will blossom into a vibrant and delightful creation.

Likewise, when you look in the mirror, never see yourself as inferior, unlovely, or defective-but as you truly are: a child of God's magnificence.

Allow the seed within you to blossom into the beautiful creation you were always meant to be...God's amazing daughter.

Let's rise together!

Project: Discover Your Gifts and Purpose

It's time to sit quietly with a pen and paper and reflect on all the things you do that truly light you up:

  • Music-singing, playing instruments, or creating.
  • Coaching and mentoring others.
  • Serving as a mediator when people seek your guidance in resolving disputes.
  • Helping those in need through acts of service and compassion.
  • Using financial skills to support others during challenging times.
  • Sewing, baking, creating, or other artistic talents.
  • Providing makeovers and helping others feel confident.
  • Offering medical assistance or caregiving from a place of compassion.
  • Using your athletic abilities to coach and train others.
  • Applying business knowledge to coach others in career development.

Most importantly, write down your positive and negative experiences-the moments that can guide others toward a more rewarding life and help them avoid the challenges you have already overcome.

Transformational stories are written in my books and shared in my signature speech:

"Triumphing Through Trials and Transitions: Keys to Recreating the Rest of Your Life!"
