Categorization
Posted on December 12, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
When we categorize/stereotype others, it’s so easy to take the humanity out of a human. We see them as less than ourselves instead of equality. All of us have the same basic desires to love and be loved. Yet, something happens to deter us, and we let our emotions, feelings, and others’ opinions drive us instead of our truth. We become the opposite of ourselves instead of a true reflection of our Creator. As the saying goes, we look for love in all the wrong places.
But the same basic desire remains because we are wired that way.
Seek to understand more and categorize less. Seek to remember who you are more. The one thing we have is time. The one thing we often misuse is time. Spend time reflecting on the purpose of humanity. Spend time observing people. Spend time getting to know others before you put a label on them. Behind the person is a story. Often, there is an experience or two (or more) that drives them to do what they do. When we unveil the story, we get a glimpse of their light.Â
Imprisonment in labels, thoughts/perceptions is real.
The challenge/opportunity is to see beyond worldly categorization. When we see people as they are, we realize we have much more in common than differences. Refuse to follow tradition for the sake of it. We break the cycle of pain (e.g., stereotypes, dominion of people, etc) by changing the thoughts that created it.
Make this lifetime great because you still can!

Diabetes Health: Transcending the Holidays
Posted on December 8, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
When we think about the causative factors of diabetes and prediabetes, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and diabetes complications, much of them surround food, physical activity, sleep, and stress. Without adequate amounts of each, the body can break down easily and become more susceptible to diabetes complications such as infections (e.g., COVID-19, flu, pneumonia) as well as high or low blood sugar.
Like others, PWD often rush during the holidays, planning events, cooking, cleaning, preparing for guests, and buying gifts. Often, our health takes a back seat. The key is believing you have what it takes to transcend the holiday experiences, including putting your health at the top of your list.

Remember Who You Are Series #19: Look Beyond the Image.
Posted on December 8, 2023 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
Have you ever silenced your voice because of someone’s title or the perceived image of an organization? The image of someone or something does not negate the truth. Sometimes, people hide their pain behind their titles, places, positions, and accolades. We must see beyond images and accept the truth. When you embody and express the necessary courage to shine your light on darkness, we hold people accountable for their pain. At the same time, we can encourage them to acknowledge and safely address their unhealed wounds.
Check my Remember Who You Are Series #19: Look Beyond the Image on Create A Generational Love Cycle. I share my thoughts on moving beyond the image and acknowledging and accepting the truth.
