TruthTellingTuesdays: The Struggle is Real

Happy Tuesday Ribsters!

Sending beautifully positive vibes from NYC on this cloudy day. Thank God for a new day, week, month- all things new. 

My thoughts on today are ones of encouragement. As an advocate for self-love and the uplifting of women, I just want to be transparent with all of you. We all go through hardships in life; whether it be relational, financial, mental or all of the above. What crossed my mind today is to share, to testify.

The struggle is real because I am a mother and wife who does not always have all the answers. My children at times get away with murder because being a wife takes a LOT of work. As women, we tend to lose ourselves in all of these processes or roles so to speak the struggle is real BUT, it does not last forever!

I know there are not enough minutes in the day to even take a deep breath. That is no excuse for the lack of self-care. Meditating and affirming positivity into your lives and into those that you can do just that; set aside five minutes with a side of consistency(I, too. am working on this). 

Although the Struggle is Real,

we are not our struggle

we can overcome our struggles

we are not alone in our struggle

and sometimes we are put in a place to struggle to grow

So commit to growing today. 

I promise you are not the only person going through something.

Some Texans died at the hands of a terrorist who has yet to been called out as one. Demetria Obilor was body shamed on Twitter, Rihanna-  accused of cultural appropriation; Number 45 is still the POTUS,

You can get through the struggle.
