Have you ever been in a depressed state? Are you there now? In either case, I pray that today’s post helps shed some light in this dark place. I hope I didn’t offend you by saying “this dark place,” because that’s exactly what it is my sister. Depression is a place of despair, hopelessness, deep sadness, and heaviness. But it can be demolished, if you have the right tools to fight it! Listen. When you find yourself in a state of depression, you can overcome [...]
Have you ever had to face a task that you felt was so BIG that you felt overwhelmed just thinking about it? Are you there now? If so, I totally know what that feels like.

I also need to mention here that gossip can destroy the best of friends, ruin your reputation, and stain your character. It’s true! It’s like a cancer that spreads rapidly and hurts people [...]

If you opened this post or clicked onto this blog link, then you know that you need to stop grumbling. LOL!

So let’s jump right into how to stop it…shall we?
