Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to the “grind.” Are you putting in that work? That work for your relationship, career, dreams whatever it is that is important to you, just know that you must put in that work. Understand that things don’t work unless you do. In life, oftentimes we have the tendency to think things happen overnight. No, things that matter take time. You must put in that sweat equity. Will it be uncomfortable? Yes! Will it hurt? Yes! You must trust the due process. That’s ...

Today’s dose of "Vitamin D" is dedicated to the power of discernment. In life, we have distractions all around us. However, it is up to us to listen to the voice within. Some like to call it instinct, others like to call it gut, some even may like to call it God. Whichever name you choose, just know it exists inside each and every one of us. However, not everyone recognizes it. Why is that? Well, it’s because we are not one with ourselves. We haven’t taken the time to sit down with ourselves, to...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to finding the real you. Finding out what makes you tick. Knowing what matters in your life and what doesn’t. Tapping into your true potential and aligning yourself with the path to your purpose. Oftentimes in figuring out who we are, is realizing who we’re not. There is no right or wrong way to do this.

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to keep on, keepin’ on. In life, there are moments when you may feel that your back is up against the wall. Moments where you may feel like life has tried every last nerve in your body, that you realize the only way out is to keep pressing forward. See, the moment we decide to wallow in our discomfort, we become stagnant. We become stuck. We lose our ability to move, especially when it seems that we are on our last leg. No one promised that life was going...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to being exactly who you are. Who is that? Well, that’s not for me to answer. I will say that it’s the person you are when you feel the most free. Who you are when you’re not trying to belong. In today’s society, trying to be someone and/or something seems like the innate thing to do. Often times we give up on who we are, just so that we can be accepted. Why is that? I’d rather have someone dislike me for who I am, rather than like me for who I’m not. It’...

Today’s dose of “Vitamin D” is dedicated to releasing the demons that you hold inside. Let go of the unnecessary weight you are carrying and be unapologetically you. Often times we hold so much regret, sadness, fear, etc because of the mere thought of what someone else may think and I say to hell with that. Let’s face it, we all have a “dark side.” However, it’s only dark because we have yet to allow the light to expose who we truly are. Expose your truth. Not so much to appease other people, bu...
