Happy New Year! God has placed it on our heart to be a blessing to others- in our time, giftings, resources, & more. We’re DIY- renovating 1 room/ 1 project at a time & giving away furniture (some not pictured). If you’re a single mom, young family, college student moving out for the 1st time, or work in social services & have a client who would benefit from a FREE glass coffee table, bookcase(s), office desk, or black tv stand - DM me or comment below. Live in the Cal State SB area 💋

God Conversations… don’t you just love when God gives you exactly what you need when you need it🥰

Took time away to worship, get in His Word, sit at His feet, & journal His instructions for 2026. Been meditating on Romas 12. This is what God breathed into my spirit tonight.

* “I’m rich”
…God reminded me of the power of prayer. The prayers that I whispered to God over the years - have come to fruition. Areas that I covered in prayer and laid at His feet time and time again- my son, career, the single moms who I covered in prayer, my husband, provision, favor, discernment, grace… He has answered. “Delight yourself in the Lord & He will grant you the desires of your heart.”

*”Stop focusing on the destination, it’s about the journey”
…Sometimes we seek instant gratification. We want what we want when we it. And we expect it to be wrapped in perfection without marks, without trials, and sometimes without pain. But the reality is that it is the PROCESS (the journey) that develops our character, matures our faith, and stretches us. It’s called CAPACITY-BUILDING. We are meant to be stretched, grow, expand… not stay the same! What capacity-building process are you thankful for? It’s a paradigm shift - “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” so don’t become distracted but focus on choosing to see what God is teaching you through the process.

*”I will not walk in fear but choose to walk in favor, strength, wisdom, & clarity because I am worthy as a child of the Most High God.”
…“For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, & of sound mind.” Choose to walk victoriously in faith, not fear.

Self-Affirmations:
- I am a LEGACY-BUILDER
- I am ENTRUSTED
- I am a CULTIVATOR
- I am a WORSHIPPER
- I am ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

Ok, back to my time away 😘.

What has God been sharing with you for 2026?

2025 has been one for the books with joys, successes, and difficult times. As the year comes to an end, I’m stepping away taking a hiatus from social media to focus on God’s word & goals for us, our marriage & ministry, family, career, and businesses.

We’ve lost important people in our life bringing the true meaning of life in full focus. This year, Kenrick Rodriguez & I celebrated getting married 💍 on 5/25/25 & joining families, Ken’s new job 🩺 & my promotion as Deputy Director, Isaiah’s Associate’s degree grad & transfer to LA Film School 🎓, my new Book 📕, paying off cars & 90% credit card 💳 debt (!!!), house renovations, our businesses, restoration of relationships, seasons ending for some relationships, & opportunities to volunteer & donate. Thank you for your love, prayers, encouragement, & supporting us, our family, & our businesses. Be safe, be present, intentional, and impactful.

Until next time… enjoy life, dance like no one’s watching, smile more, love unconditionally, laugh out loud, live life with purpose & I’ll see you in 2026. Love y’all ✌🏾💋😘
