True story. And here's the thing: drama is TIRING. It's completely exhausting and it drains the energy from you and starts to change your attitude and mindset in a negative way. Who has time for that kind of change? Believe me, as a single parent I have more than enough going on in my life and don't need to add any drama into the mix. Plus, it's a part of having personal growth and maturity. Just don't engage the drama. Did you know that you don't HAVE to respond to drama and negativity? Just because you receive an invitation to it, it doesn't mean you have to respond. You can CHOOSE to walk away, and how freeing is that?! It is the most freeing thing in the world, y'all. So when others invite you to participate in their negativity, choose to walk away from the invitation to drama. Choose to walk away from the fights and the manipulation. Choose to walk away from those who live in a negative mindset and always bring others down. Choose to wish them well and then take a step or ten back. Choose to refuse to engage in their 10 pounds of crazy stuffed into a 5 pound sack. Choose to refuse to BE one of those people. It CAN be done! #ChooseBetter #DoBetter #BeBetter #SpeakLife #Thankful #Experience #WisdomIsAlwaysBetterThanAdvice #DramaFree #NoDrama #BePositive #YouCantExpectToHaveAPositiveLifeWithANegativeMindset #RSVPNo #JustSayNo #YourResponseIsYourResponsibility #MomTalk #EverythingYouDoMatters #SingleMom #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxUuSONJQI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That's perfectly ok. Most people don't even like themselves. I would much rather be somebody's shot of whiskey than everybody's cup of tea. This is a lesson it took me over 40 years to understand and take to heart. I don't need the approval of everyone, because not everyone wants the best for me. Someone in your life will always have negative things to say about what you do and the decisions you make. So why do you care what others think when THEY seldom do? After all, as Dita Von Teese has famously said, you can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches. This is not saying that you shouldn't take other people's advice and wisdom into consideration when those people matter to you and genuinely care about you. We all have those people in our lives who truly have our best interests at heart. Who may not support the unwise decisions we're making or thinking about making out of love and concern, but who are always encouraging us and loving us no matter what. Theirs are the opinions that matter above everyone else's. Value their input and theirs alone. #FoodForThought #WisdomIsAlwaysBetterThanAdvice #Wisdom #SingleMom #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow #MomTalk #NotEveryoneMatters #ChooseWisely #ShotOfWhiskey #NotEveryonesCupOfTea #ItsOk https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7EyL2uDIs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's the most freeing thing in the world, y'all. If you're given an invitation to attend a drama fest, you CAN choose to walk away. This is one of the best lessons I've learned over the past few years. So when others invite you to participate in their negativity, choose to walk away from the invitation to drama. Choose to walk away from the fights and the manipulation. Choose to walk away from those who live in a negative mindset and always bring others down.

There's no reason for you to feel guilty when you've reached your max dealing with negative, narcissitic, insecure, arrogant, toxic, cocky, nosey and drama filled people in your life. There comes a time when you 1. Cut them off completely or 2. Put some major distance between yourself and them, while loving and supporting them from afar. It's ok to do what is best for your life and you. Refuse to allow other people's messiness or craziness ruin your peace and happiness. This life you're living is hard enough, and you don't have time for them to bring you down with them. Whether it's a colleague, family or an old friendship, realize that although God places people in our lives for a reason, not everyone was meant to continue on with you in your life's journey. #WisdomIsAlwaysBetterThanAdvice #LetGoAndLetGod #AuditYourRelationships #SeasonReasonOrLifetime #RefuseToPlayTheirGames #EverythingYouDoMatters #LiveALifeYouWontRegret #ByeFelicia #ByeFelipe #PartOfGrowth #Growth #RGPTribe #MomTalk #SingleMomLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CTvc5x1l8HN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you trust Me? Do you trust Me to give you what you need? I believe when we tell God, I TRUST YOU, that He puts our TRUST to the TEST! It's EASY to trust God when the sun is shining, your health is good, money is good, family is good and things are on the up and up! But, do you still trust God when things are upside down in your life? Do you trust God in the valley? Do you trust God through the darkness? Do you trust God through your loneliness? Do you trust God when your finances and/or romance is jacked up? Do you trust God to fulfill His promises to you, even when you don't see any movement toward them right now? God wants to know if this is just lip-service or do you really trust Him? Do not worry or be concerned when trials and tribulations come your way. DO. YOU. TRUST. HIM? God's grace is sufficient and He is always with you in your darkest hours. Do you trust Him? Here is something for you to ponder and ruminate on: A Trust Not Tested...Can't Be Trusted! #TrustGod #Faith #Hope #Believe #IWillPreachToMyself #Trust #WhatDoYouBelieve #WhomDoYouTrust #GodsGraceIsSufficient #Tested #YouWillBeKnownInTheTesting #DoYouTrustGod #EvenWhenItHurts #GodIsFaithful #EverythingYouDoMatters #EverythingYouDoNotDoMatters #WisdomIsAlwaysBetterThanAdvice #FoodForThought

A story in honor of this coming Palm Sunday: There was once a donkey for hire. He was chosen out of the rest of the donkeys to be the one hired out for a day. At the end of the day, the rest of the donkeys asked him how his day went. The donkey was thrilled. "It was amazing," he said. "There were crowds lining both sides of the street. They were throwing palm fronds before my feet and shouting 'Hosanna!' as I passed by." "You know," said the donkey, "I think they're gonna crown me King." The point is obvious. Nobody remembers the donkey. It is the Message he carries that people pay attention to - the donkey is only part of the background. Your life should be about presenting the message that the Lord is preparing to return, not about the donkey carrying that message. The donkey only carried the Message, and so should we all. Strive to be the carrier of the message and show by example in our lives how that Message has transformed us, instead of braying like a donkey to bring attention to ourselves. The message we carry is far more important! It's eternal... #Donkey #CarryTheMessage #God #Perspective #Analogy #Eternal #ChangeALife #WeAreTheOnlyBibleSomeMayRead #EverythingYouDoMatters #WisdomIsAlwaysBetterThanAdvice #PalmSunday #TheButterflyEffect #SingleMom #SingleMomLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CM74qfSpFrH/?igshid=1jdc9huij40f2
