So... I did a thing.

When I was a child, I said I would be the one to break the curses in my family.

I said this on more than one occasion.

I was young but I knew that what I was witnessing in those around me just wasn't what one would define as "healthy."

A few examples:

- Blood relatives having disagreements and not speaking to each other for months and sometimes years as a result.

- People not being able to accept criticism or being told "you're wrong" but can dish it out to others.

- Giving the silent treatment - for days and weeks at a time - when things don't go your way.

- Manipulation and guilt tripping people into doing what you want them to do because of what you've done for them in the past.

- Children not having a voice and being deemed "disrespectful" for "talking back" if they spoke up for themselves and expressed their feelings.

- Toxic marriages and divorces.

- Abandonment and alienation.

- Poor, and often lack of, communication.

And that's just scratching the surface.

I'd seen enough to know that when I got older I would do things differently and I would help others just like me do the same.

In 2021, I became a Board Certified Christian Counselor because I wanted to help people overcome their past and help guide them into their abundant futures.

I was excited and ready to hit the ground running and had my plan all mapped out...

Then life happened.

Life really be lifing sometimes, don't it? 😒

I allowed Satan to get in my ear and try to discourage me.

"Your life is so jacked up, how are you gonna try and help ANYBODY?!"

And for a while I believed that lie and stopped doing what was in my heart to do.

But it just kept tugging at me.
My wanting to help just wouldn't leave me alone.

And that's when I decided I would go for it anyway.

God placed it on my heart to do it.

Had to be for a reason.
He didn't say I had to be perfect to do it. 🤷🏾‍♀️
