Welcome to #KLowInspires

People are always telling you to do what's best for you, but they judge & criticize you when you do. I stepped out on faith & moved to Maryland. Me, the girl who said she was a DSGG (down South Georgia girl) for life. I was tired of my job & I needed a new start. When I received not 1 but 2 job offers in D.C. & Virginia, I knew this was the fresh start I had been praying to God about. I did everything that was necessary to make this move as easy as possible. If you know me, you know I HATE MOVING. And moving to another state is a whole other type of headache. Well after a few months of living in Maryland I felt myself slipping back to my dark place. I had promised myself I wouldn't let anything or anybody take away the peace I had found within. While I loved the different events, the DMV offers & the different cultures blended in the area I was not at peace with myself. So, I started planning my escape route back to Georgia. Yes, I was only gone...

Birthday 31 started off fabulous because God allowed me to see a new day in my right mind with the activity of my limbs. I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to spend it with the people I love and the ones who love me back. My big sister and I celebrated it with our first cruise to the Bahamas. Neither of us had ever been to the Bahamas. We made some great new friendships on and off the ship. It's funny how the world is separated by 6 degrees.

I can never repay my sister for always being there and supporting me in all of my endeavors. She gives selflessly of her time and everything she does is done with love. I'm blessed to have met her back in 2006. I pray that I am half of a good sister t...

So, I had a conversation with a close friend of mine about how it hurts my feelings when I do things for others but they aren't there when I need them. Or how they do things that I feel go against our friendship. I made myself a promise from now on not to let the actions of others hurt my feelings. I'm going to be more in control of my feelings and how I let others actions affect me. A couple of days later my friend texted me saying she was tired of always doing for others but they were never available when she needed them. I totally understood where she was coming from. Sometimes we give so much of ourselves to others to the point when we need it, no one is there. It's tiring and draining. I sat down and analyzed this and it's just who we (my friend and I) are. Sometimes we give so much of ourselves to help those in need or those who can't help themselves even when we are in a place of needing help ourselves. In my time of meditation over this issue I decided...
