Don’t Worry About Support

written by Brandy Yates

Support comes in many ways and we all need it. Not to mention that we all want it in some way, shape, or form so when we don’t get it we tend to get discouraged.

But God reminded me that He will send support from people we never even thought of & at times we least expect it. Sadly most that are closer to us & whom we talk to often won’t even be our biggest supporters.

They winning! (But Are They Really)

written by Brandy Yates

Sometimes when things aren’t going our way we get frustrated and feel like everyone else is winning with jobs, relationships, friendships, businesses, etc.

But if you really knew what they were hiding or putting up with, then you would ask yourself: Are they really winning?

What is Submission?

written by Brandy Yates

This is my personal opinion, I am not saying this is a one-for-all way to go about it, but I do believe many of us are really looking at submission in the wrong light.

I will probably be doing another video on this subject. Checkout this short video here by clicking here.

Lashonda “Glam Doll” McCoy

written by Brandy Yates

My boo Lashonda “Glam Doll” McCoy explaining why she is #Goalsszz.

I Am Goalsszz:

Because I was the chick that lacked confidence, was scared of failure and of starting over. Over the years, I built confidence and found my WORTH!! I have faith in all that I do. So, I just do it like NIKE? SI learned that starting over is not a bad thing, as long as I don?t give up. Quitting is not an OPTION either? I will continue to work on being the best version of me ??After All, I?m pretty DOPE???

Lashonda “Glam Doll” McCoy

To the woman that lack confidence: Pick your head up. You?re beautiful inside and out Queen ? Adjust that crown. To the woman scared to start over and let go of things and/or people: Let it or them go. Starting over is just creating a better version of you. To the woman that is scared to launch that business because of fear of failure or everyone is doing it: (So what..!!!!)?.You do it anyway with confidence. Believe in yourself and brand. You never know who?s ready to support your dream ??. Let?s get this money ladies ?????

How I Overcame An Abusive Household (Guest Post)

How I Overcame An Abusive Household (Guest Post)

written by Brandy Yates

WHERE IT ALL STARTED:?

For 17 years I was abused at home by my father. ?As the years went on I became more sad, angry, hurt and closed off. ?I was so alone. ?My family weren?t there for me as I would have liked to. ?My life was hell, but now I love my life and I?m glad I have been through what I have been through.

 

OVERCOMING MY TROUBLED CHILDHOOD:

I found many ways to escape the hell of a life I was living. ?From reading, writing, listening to music, watching movies and going online. ?I found comfort in meeting people online. ?Being honest about my life to those people was a great comfort and a great weight off my shoulders.

 

No one understood why I spoke to strangers online, but it was a huge comfort for me. ?I even met my boyfriend online and we are now in a long distance relationship. ?I really couldn?t be happier.

 

For a long time I didn?t talk to anyone about how I felt. ?I talked about what I had been through to strangers, but never spoke to people close to me about how I felt. ?Being vulnerable was a big no-no for me. ?I hate showing off my feelings and looking weak.

 

MY LIFE CHANGING MOMENT:

Last year I began learning that I needed to talk. ?I needed to stop hurting the people I cared about. ?When I didn?t talk about how I felt, I would explode over the smallest things and lash out by saying or doing things that would upset the people I cared for.

 

THEN REALITY HIT ME:

**** I KNEW I NEEDED HELP ****

  • I begun counseling and started to open up.? This helped a lot with the way that I am now.? The?only person I truly talk to is my boyfriend Ryan and he helps me get through my hardest, down?days.? No matter how I?m feeling he always gets me to laugh and smile.
  • To get over childhood trauma it takes a lot of time and patience.
  • I don?t believe I will ever be 100% recovered from everything that I have been through, but I?know that I can work through it with Ryan and work on making my life better and not let my past?affect my future.

A Divorce Pushed Me To Where I Am Now

We All Are Flawed

written by Brandy Yates

 

If everyone would just mind their own business. ?If everyone would just stay in their own lane. ?If everyone would just stop being so negative. ?If everyone would just help people instead of talking about them. ?If everyone would just say what?s on their minds instead of being subliminal. ?If everyone would just stop half-way telling THEIR side and just tell the WHOLE?truth. ?If everyone would just support one another. If everyone would just keep it 100%. ?If everyone would just, well….ya know…. be like ME. ?

The world would be a much better place…!!

???Sounds familiar…!?!?!

We all have said this before.? Either out loud or to ourselves.? The issue here though is that even?YOU aren’t perfect and?YOU for sure have not made all the right decisions. When we ourselves are broken, we try to fit people into some perfect little world we conjured up.? We try to make them achieve the perfect personality that even?WE, ourselves can’t achieve.? We like to make everyone think, respond, handle situations, and act in a fairy tale manner.? Here’s the icing on the cake though:? We love to see people?PRETEND?like us.

And when they don’t, something is totally wrong with?THEM…!!

The issue with the pretending is that we create a false world with falsely, perfect people.? So then when they don’t live up to our standards, we do this thing called throwing them under the bus {yep, I will use this term a lot?because we live in a century where “throwing people under buses” is the new norm}.

?? Here’s a better one:?

We broadcast their imperfections so that it covers our own imperfections.? It keeps us from being the king/queen of bad choices.? Because “At least I didn’t do this or I didn’t do that.”??That’s what we say to justify ourselves & our choices while we crucify them for their poor choices.? We try to manipulate people into being the PERFECT, SWEET? “them”, while we continue to be the MESSY, PETTY, IMMATURE “us”.? ?You don’t believe me.!?!???

?? Well how about this:

  • Have you ever posted a meme about a person being a fake friend, when you just got done gossiping about a whole other friend?
  • Have you indirectly blasted a person or ppl on social media, but then went and had a whole rant about how other ppl are too scared to tag you or come to you directly about whatever it is they are mad at?
  • Have you outed a person’s “sin” towards you, while you kept the broom by your bedside making sure your dirt don’t come from up under the rug?

?? Here is one I see often:

  • Have you applauded and pacified YOUR FRIEND in their mess/wrongdoing, and turned around and shunned or publicly dissed a person you not cool with for doing the SAME thing your friend just did.!.!.!

Those were just a few to name, but by now I’m sure more situations have come to mind for you.? Life humbled me greatly & I will never forget it’s lessons.? I’m more careful now at not turning my nose up at people and situations I have never been in.? I’m even THAT MORE careful at giving grace/mercy to those who have been in certain situations that I have been in.? These lessons taught me that nobody (even Saved folks)?are exempt from making poor choices, no matter how good you think you are and no matter how many positive books, stats, or quotes you read.? In the end, we ALL fall short in various areas of our lives.

We should be so busy trying to find ways to help others with the same flaws as ours.? We should be building better relationships with people by being transparent about our mess-ups and by being non-judgmental towards their mess-ups.? You shouldn’t be so busy trying to expose other’s shortcomings to make yourself seem far above them, because even if you aren’t at the center of the stage; just remember that curtains always fall when we least expect them:? and pretty soon it will be time for your curtain to come down.

“And the second commandment is like the first: Love your neighbor as you love yourself” – Matt 22:39 ICB
