Life, Faith &Love™

Hello Readers!!! Welcome to week 9 of the series on  Life, Faith &Love  titled  Life Lessons Learned in my 20's .  Every Saturday, I will be posting a new blog of a story sent to me by one of YOU. I have loved reading all of your stories so far and I am so excited to share some of these lessons with you guys. This week life lesson stems from one of my good friends who wants to remain anonymous. She shares her 20's Life Lessons. 1. Parents have a lot of wisdom and when we're in our early twenties, we may not heed to it. My parents tried to speak some wisdom into me and caution me on certain things I should or should not do. Things such as where I should go to school and getting married. In the moment I didn't heed to their caution. I still did my own thing. We live in a world where it's all about me and I'm going to do me. But I want to tell you that you need people. You need wise people around you that will caution you when you're going down ...

Valentine's day is right around the corner and everyone is making plans to get booed up. I'm all for finding love, but sometimes we try really hard to get someone to like us, that we have no business talking to. I am a woman and I can only speak from a ladies perspective, but sometimes women try so hard to gain a man's attention, that we can make ourselves an option, instead of his number one selection.

First off, I want to start this blog by saying no matter what season you walk through in life, you are never alone. It might feel like you are, but you're not. If you believe in God, such as I do, He will never leave you nor forsake you. No matter how deep the valley or how high the mountain, He will never leave you. My purpose for this blog is to provide 3 practical tips on how to walk through seasons where you might feel isolated. 1. Find the Root Cause of Isolation Before anything can be fixed or before any healing can begin the root cause must be known. For example when pharmacies run into problems or medication errors they use root cause analysis or fish bone diagrams to identify the root of the problem. Once the root is identified, then we can take steps to fixing the problem. Ask yourself, "Why do I feel alone? What led/contributed to this feeling of isolation?" Maybe you recently ended a close friendship, someone close to you passed away, or you recently exp...
