I am back. So much has gone on in these last 7 years…where do I begin!
I am DIVORCED! I finally got up enough courage to say “BOY BYE!” You can read that on my other blog “Nurses speak out loud” and the blog post “Catching Flights”.
I became a published author. https://a.co/d/8vZCVuV If you know of some one who is going through a divorce or just starting over, recommend my book of devotionals.
I am still a NURSE! Covid came and I am burnt out and returning to writing is what calmed and soothed my soul.
I am a Nana x 2 to amazing and wonderful girls.
I am healing! I am on a journey of self love, self awareness, self accountability, SELF EVERYTHING!
I just updated some of my GOALS for my blog. It will be a challenge, but it will be one that I know will have success written all over it. I have failed at a few of the goals that I wanted to reach because I have not written anything in a while. So in the mean time, here are some updates.
In April, I had a blogiversary! Congrats to me! One year of doing this periodically!
WOW, we are 4 days into 2016, and it has been steady so far. I worked on New Year’s Eve and celebrated with my group of coworkers. It was so quick.
The new year brings about a new beginning, new opportunities, and a wonderful time to have what your heart desires.
It is the time to begin the business that you have dreamed and envisioned for a while!
It is time to create the life that you have wanted!
It is time to EXCEED their expectations!
This year, I am not creating resolutions, I am creating and focusing on GOALS! A few of those goals, I posted in http://aflawedruby2015.com/2015/12/28/put-a-stamp-on-it/.
I have blogging goals and lifestyle goals that I plan to achieve.
I claim this is going to be a GREAT YEAR for all of us! I want to thank all who shared, reblogged, followed, and read in 2015.
I am looking to be even better with my blog, my followers, sharing, and engaging with each and everyone of you all. Thanks to all my new followers in 2016.
John 3:16- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Those grunts can be heard around the world! When they are on the tennis courts, they are a force to be reckoned with, together and separate. The Williams’ sisters have dominated the world of tennis since they were teenagers, nearly 20 years. They have definitely placed their stamp on it.
Who are the little black girls with beads and braids? I remember watching them on television and thinking, black girls in tennis? They have their hair in braids, they are the same color as I am.
Venus Ebony Starr Williams has been ranked No. 1 on three occasions. She became the first black American woman to be ranked No. 1 in February 2002. She has gone on to win several major titles individually and while playing in mixed doubles and doubles with her sister Serena. Venus has not been as dominate as her sister, but, she has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with. They have faced each other on numerous occasions and has created one of the best rivalries in tennis. Venus has missed several tournaments because for health reasons but she has come back to defeat some ranked opponents. Venus has also been a spokesperson for the equality of women salaries in professional tennis.
Serena Jameka Williams is the younger sister of Venus. She is the greatest female tennis player of all times. Serena’s accolades and achievements go on and on. She is 3rd on the all time Grand Slam list with 21 and is chasing Steffi Graf. Last year, she faced a heartbreaking defeat as she was chasing history in the U. S. Open. Serena is the second highest paid female athlete in 2015. She was named Sportsperson of the Year for 2015 by Sports Illustrated.

The songs are not in any particular order except for #1. That song holds a very sentimental place in my heart. I love Sade! I hope you enjoy and maybe you can think of some other songs that should be on the list. There are some more artists that I can think of,too.
As she stood there, trying to decide if she should keep going or turn around, she realized everything that she wanted was in front of her. Most of her life, she was crippled by FEAR! FEAR was her comfort zone. She could not go any further. She knew it was an uncertain future, but, it had to be better than her past. How would she know if she didn’t move? How would she know that her life would be remarkably different if she didn’t take the first step?
So many times in our lives, we are paralyzed by FEAR. FEAR of the unknown. We lose so much because we are afraid to take those steps.
2 Timothy 1:7–“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.
We have got to stop letting FEAR consume us and let FAITH move us.
