Welcome to #KLowInspires

"How are you doing? How are you feeling today?" When someone answers these questions with, I'm okay or I'm good or I'm fine, THEY ARE NOT AND I REPEAT THEY ARE NOT FINE, GOOD, OR OKAY.  Personally, I know I'm guilty of answering like this. I don't always want to discuss my feelings or talk about what is bothering me. I don't like feeling useless or helpless. I don't want others pity. It's a mental thing for me. Some people are just naturally private about their personal matters. As a good friend or person just let that other person know you are there for them whenever they need you. It's good to know you have someone in your corner when you feel alone or when you are going through something in life. Remember I LOVE YOU!!!

I WAS ALWAYS trusting people. I gave you my trust until you gave me a reason not to trust you. It did not always serve me right trusting people I didn't know so freely. But that was just who I was. Always wanting to see the good in others even when they showed me their bad side. Life after my diagnosis taught me to trust nothing and watch everyone. I hate that my diagnosis has changed me and made me feel this way but it's where I'm at now. I don't know how to get back to trusting others. Even when I think I trust someone that little voice in the back of my head starts saying things like "they are using you, they are lying don't believe that, they only want what they can get from you and then they'll be gone." I do want to get back to trusting others as of right now it's a slow process. Especially since I've been burned by people, I thought would never do me wrong. Never the less the show must go on. I'll keep praying and working on ...

In a world where reality TV and social media reigns, most don't know what's real and what's fake. We live behind memes, filters, and gifs so we don't have to face reality. And the reality is not backstabbing your friends or sleeping with your girl or homeboy better half. Nor is having a bunch of kids and not taking care of them. Put down your phone, cut off your tv and communicate with those around you. Get our villages and family structures back in the black communities. There are no blessings in drama. How much success will you have if you hurt your sisters and brothers to get to the top? It's not fun if you have no one to enjoy it with. Disconnect from what society tells you, you should have and be doing at this point in your life. God knew you from the end to the beginning. He's an awesome God and He makes no mistakes. So, merge back into your lane and let God guide your steering wheel to where it's supposed to go. Don't worry about those driving t...

People living with chronic illnesses battle a lot. Remembering to take their medicines every day, frequent doctor visits and lab work, tiredness and the fatigue that goes along with their illnesses and for some the constant pain they deal with. Until you know what it feels like to be in someone's body and deal with their pain don't try to overlook or shush them when they say they are not feeling well. Living with a chronic illness can also be mentally overwhelming. Being in constant pain can take a strain on a person physical, mental, and sometimes emotional health.   Ask questions. See what you can do to help or try and take their mind off what they are going through. You can't help everyone. It takes some people a while before they adjust to this new way of life.  For people living with chronic illnesses stay active. Staying active doesn't always mean working out. If you volunteer at a school or senior home that's being active. Shutting people out and stayi...

My sisters and brothers, we must get our health back under our control. I see too many in our black community overweight and suffering from too many health issues at an early age. No matter if it’s something you are genetically predisposed to or something you caused by bad habits in your life, we must get our health back in order. Too many people in our community are dying young due to strokes, heart attacks or drugs. I see too many that can barely walk down a long hallway or must use a walker or wheelchair for basic daily living activities. Work to get to a healthier you. Don’t let fear, stress, & worry get you hospitalized. Start by eating right, exercising a few hours a week, and getting a proper night’s rest. Doing a few laps around your local mall at a moderate pace is considered exercise. You don’t have to get a gym membership. Going to the park and walking around a track works also. Quit the excuses!!! Nothing worth having such as good health has come easy. Do th...

Life is hard. Sometimes you will receive an unexpected blow when you think all is well & right in your world. That doesn’t mean you quit, don’t give the devil the victory. You are an overcomer. On your hard days wake up and push through. Showing up is half the battle, and the more you do this, you will teach yourself that this problem isn’t as bad as you thought. You will get through it just keep the faith. Do whatever you have to do on the legal side of the law to keep your head floating above water. I promise you it will all work out in due season. Dance during the storm and show your problems you have somebody bigger that fights your battles for you. On my worst days, I write and get it all out of my head or I talk to someone I can trust. There are still days when I cry my way through it but I get through it. Find things that help you survive the pain. I didn’t quit & neither can you. Remember I love you!!!
