Some random photos of things I made this weekend and random thoughts. ⁣ 1️⃣I made @almondbutterflycafe 's sour cream bundt cake but subbed flaxmeal for the eggs, coconut yogurt for the sour cream and a mixture of brown and coconut sugar instead of white sugar. Over the past few years I've insisted on making a lot of my own food (like fries). Tastes better, healthier oil and I know exactly what I'm eating. But sometimes it feels like I insist on making my life harder by cooking everything from scratch.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣Last night's #verzuz battle was one for the books! I'm hoping that Swizz and Timbaland plan a soca, afrobeat and reggae battle. Bring @machelmontano. Destra 🆚️ Alison Hinds. Beres Hammond?⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣So many ppl are breaking off their engagements and relationships during this time, and it reminds me that the best thing one can do is enjoy life at every stage and make peace with being by oneself. Being alone. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find someone or that you will be alone but if you are ok with your default setting, then you'll be more resilient if things don't pan out and you are empowered to leave if things go south. Relationships are so transient. Just because you finally get into one doesn't mean you have arrived and you can finally breathe easy. One day you're single and the next day you're engaged. One day you're engaged and the next day you're single. Don't be like the movie Waiting to Exhale. Dont hold your breath until the dust settles. Exhale now. Your current life, in whatever state or relationship status, demands your breath and your energy.⁣ ⁣ I believe that the purpose of life is to bloom -- to become who God made you to be (among other intersecting purposes -- to be made holy and to worship Him). God may use marriage to do that. God may decide otherwise. God may use singleness to do that. He may decide otherwise. God may use children to do that. He may decide otherwise. Should you make a mistake, God says, "Don't worry. I can use that too." The purpose is not to get married. Marriage is but one of many tools. It is the crucible. It is the instrument, not the destination. Blooming is the goal. The blossom is the destination.

#flashbackfriday Back when outside was a thing. I miss youuuuuuuuu!! I miss us. I miss the fun we had at @lafitnesssheppard @lafitness . I'm so happy @chicaswithmuscles and @netteghod always took pics! @zin_stephy @z_erinyou @woods_elle @cbgallagher_yoga @nadahaffar55 @far2307

#parentsbelike #fruitsnackchallenge I decided to do the #fruitsnackschallenge with my plants -- the only other living thing up in this joint -- and they did SO WELL! 🥳 I'm so proud. I used plant food instead of #fruitsnacks obvi. You know, the Word says to train up a child in the way they should go and I'm proud to know that all of my painstaking parenting has not been in vain. (Of all my videos, this better not go viral. I have my bonnet and PJs on and I'm not wearing a bra. 🙃😂). #plantmom #plantmomsofinstagram #plantmomsbelike #plantparenthood #sorryihaveplants #plantlife @plant_aholics @crazyplantpeople @houseofplantlovers #houseplantfamily #fiddleleaffigfriday #fiddleleafficus #dieffenbachia #prayerplant #rattlesnakecalathea #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplanthome #childless #childfree #plantsarefamily #plantsaremychildren

I love @zumba (that goes without saying 😂). They have supported their instructors SO MUCH during this pandemic and this is just the latest example -- ZINStudio Livestream.⁣ ⁣ What does this mean for you? Well, it means that, provided I figure out how to use this platform and it delivers on its promises, BETTER SOUND, BETTER PICTURE, BETTER integration with my playlist, and BETTER overall end user EXPERIENCE (and potentially, NO MORE ZOOM).⁣ ⁣ I'm excited to try this out. I'm so thankful to all of you for sticking with me on this journey of learning how to teach fitness classes online. There have been glitches and lags and delays and feedback and connectivity issues and sound issues but week after week, you still come and dance your hearts out! I appreciate it immensely. Thank you for your patronage and your patience. ⁣ ⁣ Sunday Zumba peeps -- you will be my first Guinea pigs. @bodypositivefitness_ #bopozumba peeps, we'll still use Zoom for class tomorrow and Jenna and I will discuss whether this can be an option for future #bopoclasses. #zumbavirtual

Finally a challenge I can do! #tonibraxtonchallenge I learned my multiplication tables to the tune of "Unbreak My Heart." @tonibraxton is the person that helped me appreciate my deep voice. I get misgendered on the phone all the time. A couple of times kids asked me if I was a boy or girl. I could never understand why I couldn't reach the high notes in choir after puberty, or why I found it hard to sing the melody in a song during church service or praise team. But when I discovered I was an alto/female tenor? Babbbyyyyy. No one can touch me now. I love my voice. It's sexy. It commands attention. Singing is not my forte, but hey. I had time tonight. Lol. #unbreakmyheart #tonibraxton #letitflow #contralto #femaletenor

I spent the weekend revising and creating vision boards. I hadn't made one for 2020, but with the year we've had so far, perhaps it would not have even mattered.⁣⁣🙃 ⁣⁣ The first time I heard of "vision boards" and "vision board parties" and "manifestation" I thought it sounded a little woo-woo and "new age." "Vision board" sounded too much like ouija board. Was the law of attraction even Biblical?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But truth be told, I've been "vision boarding" my whole life. When I was in junior high and high school, whenever I stumbled upon a newspaper article about a multiple-scholarship winner or an academic achiever, I'd cut out the story and put it on my wall or in my scrapbook. The walls of the room where I studied and did my homework were filled with motivational and inspirational quotes. It's no coincidence that I have achieved all that I wanted to achieve academically -- including winning multiple scholarships myself.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are some clips from my January 2019 vision board. At the time I was single, unemployed and unsure. I prayed (Prov. 16:3, Ps. 90:17) over those boards (plural -- the vision I have for my life is BIG).⁣ ⁣ A lot of it has manifested in 2020. COVID has pushed us into working remotely and thinking seriously about multiple sources of income. Online Personal Training. Writing for the Modern Love column in the @nytimes. It's all coming to pass.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That Bible verse from Isaish 58:11? I hung onto it during my frustrating apartment search last year and God so very carefully provided (that's another story. Let's just say I'm SOOO happy all of the other ones didn't work out.).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And this quote from @morganharpernichols always blesses me:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ "One day you will wake up and all of the waiting will have made sense. You will realize that all of the prayers that seemed to be tangled in worries were actually wrapped tightly in God’s grace. You will realize that even though before, you were certain it was over, you were actually…okay, and everything that was supposed to happen happened and you are right where you need to be."
