Episode 2: "What I Wish I Knew Before I got Married"

Image
+ Hey T-Gang, Welcome to week 2 of "What I Wish I Knew Before I Got Married".  Episode 2 is going to be in two parts, because I didn't want the content to be too long! I got the lovely opportunity to interview Mrs. Augusta Sternberg. I did a virtual interview with her due to Uncle Rona! But here's a little info on Augusta. She is a 27 year old wife, retired veteran, and a stay at home mom. She stated that her life went from one extreme to another extreme. Regardless of it all, she's happy to be alive. Point 1: Do NOT IDOLIZE Marriage Augusta shared how at a young age she kind of knew how her husband was going to look like. She had her word from God. The bad thing is that she idolized that word and started to idolize marriage. She believes God gave her that word to guide her and to help her not settle for what wasn't His will for her life, but she started idolizing marriage instead. That is point number 1 I can give y'all, do NOT idolize marriage. ...

Hey T-Gang , Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love. Y'all editing videos takes me FOREVER! Which is slower at walking a turtle or snail? I'm not sure which is, but whoever is the winner, that is the rate of my editing. It takes me a good minute haha. I'm trying to get faster, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and want things to look a certain way and I also work full time. Annyywayyysss... while I edit episode 2, of "What I wish I knew before I got married" I thought i'd post a quick Q&A. People say I'm really private with my life, which I kind of am haha, but thought i'd let y'all in and answer some questions. Well... here we go... 1. Where am I from? I was born in Cameroon . It is a country located in the continent of Africa. Cameroon is geographically located in the Western part of African and borders other countries such as Nigeria, Chad, and Equatorial Guinea etc., I lived in Cameroon for five years and then came to the U.S...

Hey T-Gang! Sorry about missing last week post. I had to reschedule the interview with the next person I will be featuring next on the series, "What I wish I knew BEFORE I got Married." I have completed that interview though and I'm currently working on editing that video. I wanted to drop a quick blog and youtube video post to share my WHY behind my content. WHY do I write these blogs and make these videos?!?! That's a good question y'all, I'm still trying to figure that out haha JK, JK, JK. On a REAL note... Ultimately life is unpredictable and will throw many things your way, but the beautiful thing about life is that it's full of soooo many sweet lessons. Some lessons can be joyful and great, and others can be bitttaaahhh, like "Bitterkola". All my Africans out there know BitterKola haha, but for real, life can be full of peppery moments. I want us to avoid those peppery/bitterkola moments. I want to share other people stories/le...

New Series: What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got Married

Heyyy y'all!!! Welcome back to Life, Faith &Love! I am bringing a new series to you guys titled, "What I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Got Married." I'll be real with you guys, it was a bit of a struggle finding people who were willing to open up about their marriages or their personnel experiences in regards to relationships. It's a sensitive topic for some, but I believe relationships, especially marriage will either catapult you towards your purpose/destiny or may keep you stagnant and you never fulfill your purpose. This is why it's important we talk about this topic and share wisdom, so we are prepared if that season presents itself! I interviewed an amazing life coach/relationship coach name Vivian. She helps women heal and recover from bad relationships/breakups/divorce. She aids woman cultivate healthy relationships by encouraging them to have a healthy relationship with themselves first. Find her on instagram @VibewithViv and check out her webs...

Wednesday Wisdom: Worrying Is For the Birds

Image
Hey Readers!!! Welcome to Wednesday Wisdom. This week I will be focusing on WORRYING... y'all let me tell you this, I have been told that I had a bad habit of worrying about things that were many years down the road or things that may NEVER happen. I realized that worrying robbed me of my peace and effected my health. Worrying can raise your blood pressure y'all and trust elevated blood pressure is NOT good for your health. So I started to ask myself WHY am I worrying?! Will this worrying add any benefits to my life? It will not at all, it'll instead subtract from my life. There are three basic tools that I have applied that have enabled me to decrease worrying by A LOT. 1. Fix It, or Pray and Let Go When I find myself worrying, if it's something that I can change, I will fix it. If you are worrying about something that is in your control, do something about it! The sooner you take care of it, the better. Unfortunately, most of the things we worry about are out ...

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 ...
