What are you waiting for - Live your life now????


If you look around at the unhappy people that you know, do you see them enjoying their lives, NO!!! They are not enjoying their lives because they have chosen misery over happiness. They choose defeat over joy! They choose drama over being content. God has certainly given us free will, and we can choose to live our lives fully, partially, or not at all. One of the ways that I choose to live my life, is by looking straight ahead instead of over my shoulder at someone else's life with resentment for things I have not done or achieved. Whatever plans God has placed on your life is unique and created just for you. What you should not do is compare your life to anyone else, or feel hopeless because you are not doing the things that you want.

Most recently I made my way to my DREAM city- PARIS. I had been planning a trip to Paris for almost 5 years, but it was never the right time to leave. Finally the right time presented itself, and I was on the plane heading to my dream destination. It was the most amazing experience in my life, just visiting a country outside of my own, and being able to see sights that I have only read about.






Visiting Paris has been one of the best experiences that I have had in my life (thus far), and I was able to share it with my mom and fiancé. The moral of this story and the reason that I am writing today's blog is that I feel we often wait for validation from others before we do Anything, we look for the opinions of others to help us make decisions. You have to live your life for you! Don't wait for people, do what makes you happy. Don't live fearfully, fear will always stagnate you from growth, and this is one of the largest reasons people feel so extremely self defeated.

I am simply trying to convey this message to you- God designed you to be special. You are SPECIAL! You are more special than your feelings might allow you to feel. Today is your day to make your life count. Do something that makes you happy. Make a list of things that you want to do, and begin to actualize how you can achieve them.

My final message is- DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANYONE- YOU ARE UNIQUE and there is no one like you- no one can compare themselves to you and vice versa, because you are uniquely designed to be you.

Now go off and live your dreams- I will be doing the same-

Dr. L

Develop your vision

The last year has been AMAZING! In one year, I met my best friend in the world, got engaged to him, graduated with my doctorate, began working at my  private practice full time, began teaching at the graduate level, and am about to head to my dream destination, Paris! I truly could not ask for more. I remember not so long ago, I was in such a state of despair and anguish. I did not know if God was listening to me, and sometimes I thought that he heard me but did not care to answer. I could not have been more wrong in my thinking. Whenever I cried out to him, in those moments is when He heard me. Little did I know, He was preparing a path so amazing for my life!   I believe that everyone goes through a season in the  wilderness at one time or another. It is during this time, that you learn that life is not always going to be easy, it may even be extremely lonely, but God will never leave you. It's normal to feel lost at times, and during those experiences, it's p...

Break that generational curse

In every family, there exists certain strongholds. Of course some families ignore these strongholds, however, the nature in which they silently cause destruction is evident in familial behaviors, attitudes, and relationships. I always tell my clients that there is at least ONE chosen person in a family that can break the cycle of generational strongholds (curse) from manifesting. Whether the cycle is created by broken/ unhappy marriages, financial issues, negative attitudes, substance abuse, violent behaviors, anger, etc, these strongholds often get passed down through the family- however, they can be broken. It takes one person to realize that the stronghold exists and take extreme efforts not to PERPETUATE it in their life. Through prayer, reflection, counseling, you can make positive changes for yourself that will impact the next generation of your family. Remember it only takes ONE person to notice the cycle and make a change by breaking it. You...
