In a matter of Time

Sometimes I wish my mind had a turn-off switch. I can find myself in a rabbit hole at times just off of one thought that turned into fifty other thoughts in a matter of minutes. The crazy part is my initial thought may not have any correlation with my last thought. Do you ever experience anything like that?

Have you ever found yourself being so busy but yet haven’t accomplished one thing? Just like my busy thoughts, sometimes we as humans make ourselves busy too. We want to make sure we’re always doing something, we want to execute these goals, we want to be successful and we want it done now. But busy doesn’t always mean productive. As the saying goes “steady wins the race.” If you take off full speed, you’re going to tire yourself out before you get to the finish line, you may even quit.

Life (the race) is a journey, you’re going to have hurdles, falls, and at some point, even need people to help hold you up along the way. Pace yourself, jog for a sec, power walk if need be, and even get a drink of water. Give yourself a moment to breathe. The Finish Line (your goal) isn’t going to move but sometimes the route we take to get there changes and that’s okay. Just remain Consistent.

Be the greatest you,
J. Renee


Proverbs 16:9
9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.


Psalm 32:88
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Psalm 37:23-2423
The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; 24 though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

What happens when your image of a person Changes? I’m not talking about physically. But when the person you once knew, bonded with, share tons of memories with, still exist, still is apart of your life but yet, you feel so disconnected from the individual(s). Or, what about the person who has their own struggles, and though they’re currently in a “good space,” you’re practically waiting for them to derail again because it’s become a cycle within your relationship. How do you handle the Growth, the Transition, the Evolving or the Diminishment of a person(s) who is apart of your life? I’ve come to learn that Change is apart of life and although all changes aren’t what we deem as “good” or is not conducive to our lives it is the inevitable. People change, Plans change, and the only thing You have control over is How You Respond to it. In my personal experience, it took a while and at times I still teeter-totter back and forth about accepting or rejecting the change(s) that are happening, ...

Trials and Tribulation

I remember taking a survey for a young lady who planned to do a documentary on married women. One of the questions that was asked stood out to me; “How has prayer helped your life?” Well, that was easy for me to answer. Prayer has helped my life because it has provided a covering over my family and we hadn’t experienced many trials and tribulations. That was my answer at the time but after some reflecting, I was so wrong. We had gone through and experienced so much but what Prayer Did was Not Allow Us to Feel Defeated. That’s what prayer has done for me. It’s not that my life is perfect or that I haven’t gone through, it’s that I never felt defeated in the process. Within the last three years, I’ve been pregnant four times, given birth to three babies, lost two, and because of God’s Favor I have two amazing blessings, Jonah and Jenesis. During my experiences of lost I felt hurt and disappointment but never defeated. I believe it was God’s Grace that helped me through, along with my hus...

Are we ever enough?

I honestly believe that being a mother is my greatest blessing. So why would I feel inadequate when it’s being referred to as an accomplishment of mine? Back story... My mom recently texted our family group chat informing us of a conversation she had with my seventeen year old brother. She stated how she told him that I wanted to be a garbage truck driver when I was younger as well as a lawyer, which is all true. Then she said, “but look at Jonique now, she’s a mother.” I read the text and instantly felt the need to elaborate on who I was outside of being a mom. I felt “short changed.” Really Ma, that’s all that comes to mind when you think of me? So I immediately responded and stated “yep, I’m a mother of two now, an entrepreneur (I have my J. Inspired workshops that I do at a girls group home), I have a line of J. Inspired t-shirts that I released, and seminars in the work. I felt the need to list these things that my mom is fully aware of because of her Only stating that I’m a mom. ...
