#SowingSeason

Lately I've been thinking about how 2021 has blessed me. This is by no means a year in review, but I felt the need to shed some light on a few experiences. There were three instances last Friday that led me to write this blog post:

1. My sis Dar posted about celebrating her move into her brand new apartment

2. My super-coach Patrice, wrote about the power of words

3. My own experience after hosting a successful event and attaining a new client

I started therapy in February, because I was in a constant battle with myself. I had a constant tugging on my heart to serve women in a major way, but then had to face impostor syndrome that I had no clue what I was doing. Therapy was the support and empowerment that I needed. The woman I was in February is a complete 180º from the woman writing this post today, give or take a few pounds.

In 2018 I'd said I wanted to host women's events, with no clue as to how to achieve that goal. But the thought never left me. When I made my 2021 vision board, I strategically placed a section on it about developing the OYA brand. I wanted to use my voice to change the narrative on how we view ourselves, and also to collaborate with others to stir up conversations. To date, I have done just that.

I made a vision board breakdown in January on my YouTube channel, and I have either achieved or started to act on everything listed on my vision board. I've said this before and I'll say it again, the visions won't come true on their own, they will require effort and action. AND FAITH!

Let's get practical

1. Mind the words you speak - not only in everyday conversations, but also the ones you speak to yourself (even when they're just thoughts)

2. Put some action to it - you won't know what you're capable of until you set out to do the scary things that you desire. Too many of us make up excuses because we're unsure if we're ready, but then never do anything about it. Would you rather be scared or make the mistake and learn form it?

3. Exercise your faith - I hope I can make this make sense ... Some of us will never take the leap off the cliff to exercise our faith and trust that God will be the wind beneath our imaginary wings. It's like not using a muscle - it eventually degenerates and loses its strength. Faith, is a muscle; you have to put it to use.

Faith + Works = Results

"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?" James 2:14 KJV
