Since a little girl, I have always been an avid reader. No matter the genre, one of my favorite pastime’s have always been getting lost in the pages of a great book. And for the record, the book is almost always better than the movie. Yes, I said it.

Growing up I primarily read African American literature *cough cough* The Coldest Winter Ever, Fly Girl, Zane, etc. However, my favorite genres are mystery suspense and fantasy. Hence why Harry Potter is, and will forever be, the greatest series of books I’ve ever read in my life.

A few years ago, I started reading self-help books and I am still blown away at how these books do exactly what they say they will: help you help yourself. Today on the blog, I am sharing 6 books that have legitimately changed my life. Over the years, I’ve grown so much wiser and can only imagine how I will continue to grow through implementation of the principles I am learning.

Each of these books cater to a different area of my life. From financial literacy, to self care, to building good habits, to the power of prayer, and the power of focus. Because of these books, I am a better woman mentally, spiritually, financially, personally, and professionally. I hope they elevate your life as much as they did mine.

I get asked all the time what are some of my favorite self help books, so check out the link in my bio. Sneak peak, one of the books is Atomic Habits by James Clear. Let me know one of your favorite books below!

If he doesn’t make me belly laugh like this, I don’t want him 🤷🏾‍♀️

And no.. this picture was not staged. This was a genuine laugh from the bottom of my soul and it felt so good. In full transparency, I hadn’t laughed like this with Richard in a long time. Putting God at the center of our relationship and really growing together vs growing apart has really turned things around for us. I’m legit the happiest I’ve ever been and it’s all because of God’s grace.

Oh and speaking of God, He told me something really special would be happening soon, so I’m just laying low, and waiting for the next blessing ☺️

I hope y’all have an amazing Tuesday! 🖤

Oh, and make sure you tune into the live tonight at 7pm EST! Check stories for deets.

I’m still trying to determine what will be the first thing I indulge in when I come off the Daniel Fast. I’m thinking a fancy charcuterie board with a glass of red wine might do the trick. [AD]

Ever since I got this gorgeous board from @jcpenney, I have been dying to do a full spread on it. Not only is it an oversized display board, which I love, but it’s also made from real wood and has leather straps as handles 😩😍 *hostess with the mostest activated*

Are you a sucker for details when it comes to serveware/ cookware or is it just me? 😩

See how she sitting over there on his lap all snuggly and ain’t even thinking about me? That’s how she does me all day, everyday. It’s the daddy for her 😒

To think I gave this child my entire body for 9 months, breastfed her for another 6, gained weight, lost weight, and gained it again.. only for her to come out looking just like her daddy 😑

Then have the nerve to actually be a daddy’s girl lol. Daddy this, daddy that- like girl, what am I, chopped liver?! Sometimes I feel like Casper in my own house smh. She’s my “friend” too.. but mostly when she’s upset with her dad 🤣 Sorry mama, I understand now.

Signed,
A daddy’s girl who birthed a daddy’s girl 😤

Maybe the next one will be a boy? 😩🙏🏾

When someone gives you a compliment, take it proudly. ⁣
⁣
When you have a win, congratulate yourself, quietly or loudly. ⁣
⁣
When you accomplish a goal, celebrate yourself. Whether people like it or not. ⁣
⁣
Because guess what? When you win, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 people will be right there rooting for you. Not just because they love you, but because they know if God is blessing their neighbor, that means He’s in the neighborhood. ⁣
⁣
Life is hard. 2020 was even harder. And if it has taught us nothing else, its taught us that 𝐚𝐥𝐥 wins, whether big or small, deserve to be celebrated!⁣ Drop a 🗣 in the comments if you agree.

Y’all see the sweet Sanai in this picture? She must be on vacation because the toddler I have been experiencing over the last few weeks has been a different child 🥺

I’m trying to find the humor as I type this, but I’ve really been going through it. Sanai is naturally the sweetest, most loving, and compassionate little human I know. She wants everyone to be happy, she loves to have fun, and she never wants the “party” to end. Even if the party is just us dancing in the living room.

Lately, she been going through this very rebellious and defiant stage. She cries out hysterically when she doesn’t have her way, and will outright ignore any request to do anything other than what she wants to do. Wanna know why y’all haven’t seen her room yet? I’ve had to remove all her toys, her armoire full of dresses, and some of her favorite decorations to prove a point to her.

I literally just had to pull her out of class, and send her to her upstairs to her room because she was disrupting the class. I feel so embarrassed even typing this because never in a million years did I think “Type A Courtney” would be dealing with a defiant toddler.

Should I spank her? Should I take her ipad? Should I take all of her toys? Should I make her go to bed early everyday? Head over to the blog to see how I’ve been dealing with this stage (or at least trying to, because I’m honestly struggling). The link is in my bio.

And please tell me in the comments that I am not alone and this too shall pass? Did your toddler take you through this stage?

If walking into 2021 was a picture, my outer mood

If walking into 2021 was a picture, my outer mood would be me: confident and poised. My inner mood would be Sanai: smiling, but scared. ⁣
⁣
The things I have planned for this year scare the hell out of me, but that just lets me know my dreams are as big as they should be. While my word for the year is “𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲”, my mood for the year is: 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃!⁣
⁣
Don’t let the fear of missing the hoop stop you from taking the shot. This year, before I bet on anything, I’m betting on myself, and I want you to do the same! Drop a 🙌🏾 in the comments if you’re on the same wave. ⁣
⁣
Happy first Monday of 2021!
