November 2023 Running Thoughts & Reflections

✨ Running Thoughts ✨

These are just the unfiltered places my mind wanders. No outline, no agenda—just me capturing the thoughts/reflections as they come.

  • We should do one thing that’s scary each day. Ok, that’s a stretch I’m good with one thing a month…it can result in at least 12 new things 
  • Connections are key
  • Count it all joy; where God guides He provides (Isaiah 58:11)
  • Part of leadership is getting people to buy into the vision you have
  • Don’t let the environment/setting influence how you show up and the efforts you put forward. Whether positioned in a large corner office, a repurposed closet or cubicle. Focus on the fact that you’re in the building. Settings are temporary. Authenticity should not be.
    • A title is just a title. Don’t allow that title to limit your contributions. 
    • I’ve been in the nice office with a fancy title. I was miserable. Those walls were silent observers of the tears and frustration. After feeling as if I’ve been abused by the pursuit of leadership roles I said I was done with leadership roles. A friend said, “no; once a leader, always a leader. No matter your title, people will see your innate skills. 
  • Sisterhood is a powerful thing. 
  • “Get out and smell the roses”-Ms. Evelyn
  • “You could be sitting on generational wealth but you won’t jump off the porch”-My sister Alecia
  • How can I be afraid to tell man no for fear of his response, but I boldly tell God “no” or “get someone else”. 
  • What if being vulnerable is what’s needed in this moment in order to go higher.
  • Make the outfit work. You cute! You handsome! 
  • We are always waiting. Do it now. We always say “oh when xyz is in place…I’ll do it.” But what about the abcdef…..other variables that we don’t even know to account for…
  • You filter matters….what filter are you using to cover yourself and this situation?
  • We are living for others and not living for ourselves.
  • We are living based on a narrative someone else created who doesn’t know your true self

These are just the unfiltered places my mind wanders. No outline, no agenda—just me capturing the thoughts as they come.
