CourageousMi...Reset...Reborn...New Life!

-
What began as one of the most painful experiences I could have endured, became the beginning of the best thing that could have ever happened at this time.  So now CourageousMi has been RESET -  REBORN - it has New Life!

On the way to helping others find their "Courageous Me", I was forced  to take another look at me.  But this time I must look into the window of my own soul... through the lens, the filter, the eyes of my Father.  "That experience" well, it was good for me that I was afflicted, but I knew my discernment was off.  And just as I had to deal with the vertigo in my body, I finally had to deal with the vertigo of my own soul...

So now, be courageous and take this journey with me...yes I have been there and yes it was painful ...and still I can say: Only be strong and very courageous...


COURAGE : mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty

Do you know your WHY?

This is not just a catchphrase for the next, “Tens Steps to a Better You!” conference!  Knowing your "Why" is Critical !   Why are you doing what you do?  Why are you working at “that job” ? And please don’t say for money! Why are you an entrepreneur?   Why do you spend so much time at the gym?  Why did you choose to serve in ministry? What is your Why?  Is your Why or your actions stuck behind the dreadful:  “I should”,  "they are expecting me to”,  “If I don’t do it then who will?”    How about this one, “It brings me satisfaction”!   Well, that sounds like a good reason, doesn’t it?  No, it is not!   Because when the satisfaction runs out; when it becomes too much trouble to maintain or you realize it was a temporary placebo... you will give it up!  Now you have lost the one thing in life you will NEVER get back. TIME! Time is the most precious commodity you have. Don’t was...

An Open Letter to My Mother - Revised 2-21

Mom, it has been 15 years since you passed on to glory, and this year it feels like yesterday.  I still reach for the phone to call you about a new restaurant, a new outfit, and your new great-granddaughters. This world is so different now.  Of the many things I miss,  your counsel is at the top.  There is so much rage in the hearts of people. As a nurse, you worked for over 30 years in the mental health profession.  I remember you often said, if the government did not address mental health in America we be looking at a total breakdown of society.  Mom, we have mass killings in movie theaters, nightclubs, and even elementary schools.  The first question asked, “Was it a hate crime?” Well it wasn't love! This world is so different now.  There is this thing the young women are always talking about: Haters/Hating.  I don't understand it; I didn't grow up seeing this.  I remember Aunt Martha, Mrs.Snow, Mrs. Ivey, and your friend of o...

Wounded Woman Warriors

My favorite action movie of all time is ‘Rambo 1 st Blood’ .   Rambo was some kind of warrior!  One that they had never encountered before.   What I remembered the most, this warrior was in the fight of his life, not because he decided he had an enemy, but they decided “he” was their enemy! He became wounded so many times during this fight, yet he could only stop long enough to stitch up his own wounds.   Far from being healed,  he knew he had to find a safe place to stitched himself up long enough to fight another day! Women, once a month we have a experience be it moderate or severe how to physically and emotionally “endure”, “manage” or "ignore" PAIN. It is just how we are created. "Wounded Women Warriors” , I must say there is a time we must come in from the battle.  Not just to stitch up your wounds, but it is time to really heal.     Why is this so critical?  Because many of us are in active ministries, vocations or leading...
