Let me begin with a story about a former client of mine, Lisa. Lisa was like many of us, living a life that appeared successful on the outside. So, she had this good job, a loving family, and a supportive church community. But deep inside, she felt a sense of emptiness and restlessness. She knew […]

5 Symptoms Of A Woman Who Doesn’t Know Her Assignment
When you’re sick, you usually have symptoms telling you that something is wrong. So, you can go to the doctor or at least go to the drugstore for some medicine. But there are times when you may be sick, and you don’t even know it – your symptoms are silent and invisible. The same thing […]
It’s Not Time To Quit
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians (NKJV) I remember the time I was busy running my non-profit Changing the Buzz, Inc. while also running my business. I was faced with a particular challenge in my business. At one […]
You Are Divinely Positioned For This Season
Not too long ago, I listened as a young woman described how she lived with a spirit of fear. She was afraid to drive on the expressway. She feared walking into parking decks alone. She was afraid for her husband and children from the time they left home until they returned every day. She explained […]
Giving Up Control
If you ever looked up Type A personality in the dictionary, you would probably find my name – I love making lists; every meeting must have an agenda; I plan everything down to the last detail; there’s a place for everything; I am always on time, early actually. And, I love being in control. […]

Mark 5:25-26 states, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.” Saying that this woman was […]
How do You Handle Disappointment?
A while ago, a company presented me with an opportunity that looked perfect for some of the things I wanted to do. I prayed, believed God said yes, and signed the contract. My first clue that something wasn’t right should have been when the company missed the deadline for the completion of the project. But, […]
When Distractions Get In Your Way
One of my favorite events during the summer Olympics is the distance runners in the track and field events. The shorter-distance runners tend to get the most attention (think Usain Bolt) but, in my opinion, the long-distance runners have a much more challenging job. Sprinters, like Usain Bolt, can easily see the finish line before […]
How Will You Respond?
Have you ever said: Perhaps you’ve never asked any of these, but many of us have gone through a difficult time and have had our own questions. We may not have received the answers we wanted when we wanted them. But what we have learned is that we are not in control – God is. […]
