The Gift of Being Hidden in Plain Sight

Image
  In a world where we often seek validation from those around us, there’s a unique beauty in being hidden in plain sight. Picture a young woman who embodies kindness, strength, and potential. She pours her heart into her passions, supports her friends, and navigates life with grace. Yet, despite her vibrant spirit, she often feels unnoticed and overlooked by those around her. As she observes others receiving attention and admiration, she wonders if something is wrong with her. “Why am I not being seen?” she questions. “Is there something about me that makes me unworthy of love and appreciation?”  Within her heart, she holds onto a glimmer of hope, believing that her time will come. During moments of reflection, she turns to scripture for guidance. A verse that resonates is Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV): “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” This reminder encourages her to trust in God’

My Little Mustard Seed

Image
  Life’s storms often arrive unexpectedly, shaking our world and leaving us uncertain about what’s next. But I’ve come to realize that not every storm is meant to devastate us. Some storms come to bring the rain we need to plant new dreams and nurture growth we never saw coming. One evening, I was watching the news and saw a storm brewing in the gulf. The sky was an ominous slate-gray, heavy with thick, churning clouds that promised more than just a passing shower. Instead of feeling anxious, I saw an opportunity. I went to my garden patch, broke up the ground, and turned over the soil, knowing that the storm—along with its rain—was on its way. I scattered my mustard seeds across the freshly tilled earth, trusting that the rain would nourish the soil, even if some seeds were washed away.  That night, the storm came, and the rain poured down. By morning, my mustard greens were already sprouting through the soil. What could have been seen as a threat became a major break through the very

LOVE

Image
In a world where dreams are often overshadowed by skepticism, Adore was determined to create something extraordinary. As a passionate teacher, she envisioned launching her own fragrance line, a collection that embodied elegance and empowerment. She dreamed of a scent named "LOVE," blending floral notes of jasmine with hints of citrus and vanilla—intoxicating and uplifting. When Adore excitedly shared her vision, a colleague laughed and mocked her, saying, “You think you can pull that off? The fragrance market is too saturated!” Feeling deflated, Adore thought, “I’ll show them!” Instead of giving in to doubt, she turned to her supportive friends and family, who reminded her that every great dream faces naysayers. Fueled by their encouragement, Adore dedicated herself to creating and perfecting "LOVE." Adore spent countless evenings experimenting with fragrance notes in her tiny kitchen. She mixed floral jasmine with zesty citrus and creamy vanilla, taking notes on ea

Kamala Harris Owned The Debate

Image
Kamala Harris’s performance on the debate stage was powerful. With a firm handshake signaling confidence and authority, she set the tone for an unforgettable show. It was clear from the start she was there to make a statement. Harris dominated the debate, with commanding presence, sharp arguments, and articulate responses. She tackled critical issues like healthcare, Roe v. Wade, fracking, and economic reform with clarity and confidence, showcasing her deep understanding and clear vision for the future. If this were a comedy special, the audience would be rolling and asking for an encore! Trump went off the rails, referencing Springfield, Ohio, with, ‘They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there!’ Harris, probably thinking ‘Seriously?’ She laughed off the outrageous claims, calling him ‘extreme,’ and, like only a polished prosecutor could, reminded him that 81 million people had already given him the boot. She left him "sh

Rise Up, Shine On

Image
To all my dreamers and believers,  I’m done with all the noise and doubt! I’m on that God-given grind, pushing past every obstacle that tried to hold me down, pull me back, and throw me off track. I remember when it felt like I was shackled by fear and surrounded by a cloud of doubt, but soon realized it was just deception trying to keep me from my destiny.  Now see me - - empowered, enlightened, and driven by purpose! I’ll keep moving forward and keep believing because God has amazing plans for me.  I’m a miracle in motion! I hold on to the promise God made to me, ‘It’s going to be alright’? I’m standing on that truth, pressing on, and staying in prayer. I’ve come too far to turn back now. God didn’t bring me this far just to leave me. I’ll stay the course, stay faithful, and watch Him work it out. I’ll keep walking in my purpose because with God on my side, I’m truly unstoppable.  So, are you ready to chill your doubts and let your purpose shine bright? დ A touch of love from, Sunshi
