Everybody is talking about Rona and you KNOW I had to join the conversation. No, but really, I get it. This is some other worldly stuff we are dealing with and if we don’t have the right perspective, it can be damaging to our well-being. So if you are in need of some encouragement through this crisis, I pray this came at just the right time. I pray it uplifts, brings hope, and strength. ♥ SOCIAL 📱 Email questions/comments: [email protected] Instagram: @EmemJoyEmah Twitter: @EmemJoyEmah...

Summer is FINALLY here and with that comes warm sun shiny days, laying by the pool, vacationing and more. As for me, this summer has come with the T word... transition. I have been tempted to say to God: "this again?! Can we not?!" I have heavily disliked transition because it has revealed some fears I didn't know existed. But throughout every period of transition, I have learned how to maintain my peace and not let the worry, fear, and anxiety of a new season overwhelm me. So, If you find yours...

Secondly, I talk about the popular phrase “living my best life.” While it is harmless for some, for others not so much. I realized most people (myself included at times) tend to equate living their best lives with material stuff. Don’t get me wrong, while having nice things is…nice...It should NOT be the telltale sign of someone living their best life. Listen as I share m...
