Every day when I wake up, I do so with a sense of purpose. Challenges come my way. Negativity tries to hold me back. Remember, you’re stronger than you think, even if no one else tells you. I want you to know that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. This applies whether it’s something good or bad. Keep striving towards your goals, no matter what obstacles you face. Success is within your reach, and your journey will become your testimony. Hold your head high and walk confidently; even if you’re going through tough times, trust that God is protecting you. Stay positive, focus on your growth, and don’t let negativity weigh you down.
I’ve noticed many people are facing challenges, and I want to remind you that it’s okay; you will overcome what you’re experiencing. God granted you another day because He believes you have so much to offer the world. Embrace self-love and maintain a positive outlook during this time. Pray, keep your faith strong, and don’t let negativity bring you down. Remember, things will improve.
There have been numerous occasions when I felt on the brink of giving up, but I had to remind myself of my life’s purpose. It’s important to recognize that everyone faces challenges in life.

While I was finishing my second manuscript, a song played that reminded me of the possibility of achieving all dreams with a positive mindset and belief. It encouraged me to take life in stride and trust that everything will work out. Despite a week of rain, witnessing a beautiful rainbow emerge at the end of the storm reaffirmed this belief.
Life brings ups and downs in both personal and professional aspects, but seeing such a radiant symbol in the sky fills me with happiness, reassuring me that better days are ahead after every storm.
Seeing a rainbow can hold different symbolic meanings across various cultures and contexts:
Hope and Promise: In many cultures, a rainbow symbolizes hope, promise, and positivity after a period of difficulty or rain. It is often seen as a sign that better times are ahead.
Unity and Diversity: The rainbow’s multicolored spectrum can also symbolize diversity and unity, representing different elements coming together harmoniously.
Transformation and Change: Some interpret a rainbow as a symbol of transformation and change, suggesting that challenges or hardships may lead to new opportunities or growth.
Spirituality: In spiritual contexts, rainbows can be seen as bridges between the earthly and spiritual realms, connecting humanity with divine energies or blessings.
Joy and Beauty: Rainbows are inherently beautiful and awe-inspiring, often evoking feelings of joy, wonder, and appreciation for the natural world.
Ultimately, the meaning of seeing a rainbow can vary depending on personal beliefs, cultural interpretations, and the circumstances in which it appears. Many people view it as a positive and uplifting symbol regardless of its specific interpretation.
As we know the world is always evolving and lately the economy has been changing a lot. At times we can often complain or feel ungrateful about the events in life. Never let this get you down because you always have something to be grateful for.
No matter how challenging the situation may seem, there is always something to be grateful for. Whether it’s the love and support of family and friends, the opportunities for personal growth, or the simple pleasures of life, gratitude can be found in even the most trying times.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, embrace the changes with an open mind and a grateful heart. This mindset not only fosters inner peace and contentment but also empowers us to navigate life’s twists and turns with resilience and grace.

The first time I heard this song, I was in the car. I was thinking about the lyrics and how it spoke to me about loving myself. Over the years, I have learned that I have to love myself on a daily basis. I have to get to know my true self and accept myself for who I am. As I learn more about myself and my self worth, it becomes more beautiful to see the difference I make when I am positive.
I’m moving higher I’m going higher and higher Closer to my dreams Higher and higher
Everybody has a gift on Earth that has been giving to us. Getting there can sometimes take a lot of ups and down. But never give up on what you aspire to be. Keep pushing, think positive about it, and never give up.
As a Black Woman in a male dominated field it is easy to lose your focus. There have been times that I had to cry about my job or felt like quitting. My drive has kept me going because I love what I do. If I would have giving up, I would have never been able to pave a way for another woman to be able to set foot in the same role. Yes, I have paved a way at one of the companies that I have worked for. I was first woman to ever work in my area. I feel proud to represent other women no matter what your color is. We all are going to win in IT.
I remember wanting to quit pursuing me dreams in my field when I had to deal with the misogyny of what I love to do. It’s okay for the men to do what they want and still get paid even if it was nothing all day. I have had to work harder to prove that women belong in this area. I have fought the good fight. I remember being asked by one of the directors the following question: “Why do not women want to apply for roles in Information Technology?”. I responded because with the following with tears running down my eyes: “Women are not treated the same as men are and even if we work hard it still comes with misogyny because we can over perform in this field but not be promoted like the men.” I am not married and watched with my own eyes how they gave all the newly married men on my team promotions and raises. I took all that hate that had built up and created a wall at my house to remind myself that “I can do anything”.
God has giving me this gift and I want to continue to use my gift to do his will. Woman we are winning over hearts everyday and letting the workforce know daily how valuable we are. Life is never easy but you’re a winner in the end.
Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward in life. I am not perfect and yes I have made choices that I should have put more thoughts into it. Yes, God gives the freedom to make the choices we want freely. If it is not the right choice trust me God will let you know until you learn that lesson. Reflecting on my past and the lessons that I have learned.
Starting my career was not easy and I was not making enough in my field when I first started out. I would go to the career fairs at campus to look for an internship and felt that they had set the requirements so high for students at an HBCU and not the same requirements for a non HBCU student. I graduated with not much experience under my belt and felt the heat when it came looking for a job.
I would cry about not getting any offers after graduation and applying. I think God wanted to teach me lesson about it. I was in a stressful married at the time and trying to graduate. Yes, my married had failed because it was choice that I wanted and it was not the choice that God had for me. I can not change the past but I had learned from this situation that God had my back. I was going through a divorce and did not have anything to my name but God made a way for me to have a job. It was not the idea job but it paid the bills. I was so heartbroken by how I was done by this person who said that they loved me and made vows to me. All of it was a mirage and all I had left in the end was my pride. I had to start over my whole life. God took me out of a situation, tore me down, and rebuilt me as a new person. Thank you God for giving me a second chance to start over new and just focus on getting to where I wanted to be in my career.
Looking at yourself in the mirror can be challenging at times knowing what you have been through as a person. Especially all the challenges that are faced in getting to where you want to get there in your career. God has gifted each one of us talents to use.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Yes, I have a lot of talents that God has blessed me with and I have learned to use them all in his glory. First identifying all of your talents are the key. God has blessed me with the talent of patience, troubleshooting, love for technology, helper, etc to name a few. I learned my talent of computer and technology as a teenager. I loved being on the computer, fixing, and upgrading it. After I learned what my main gift to the world was I started to craft that talent and it landed me in the Information Technology field.
I remember there was a time in my life where I was unemployed for a long period of time and also during that time I was going through the whole divorce process. I had nothing but my pride after my divorce and no money. I tried my best to pray everyday and keep the faith. During that time I had learned about a secret talent that God had revealed to me was baking cakes. I started baking on the side to get another income while being on unemployment and trying to get back on my feet. One day I was at my last when I could not afford to pay my bills. I had packed up all of my stuff in my apartment because I was on the verge of being evicted. I remember I got a call at 8:00 am in the morning from a temp agency to start a job next week. I was so thankful that morning to have been granted a second chance in getting my career and life back on track. During this time of me being at lowest, I definitely knew God loved me. After having this lesson from God, I learned to give everything to him, trust him, and allow my life to be moved by him.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
