Have no worry, have no fear.

December 28, 2018 by keepingupwithMJ

Hello, my loves! Today’s post is a bit personal, but I aimed to just shed my thoughts and encouragement on how to cope and elevate when dealing with fear. We normally associate fear with darkness, for the mere fact that it is something that we do not welcome in our lives, however, did you know it can harbor a permanent place within your life if you don’t make a change now? Fear is something that can make you or break […]

who are you?

May 2, 2018 by keepingupwithMJ

What do you think of yourself? Do you think of yourself like how God thinks of you? Or do you think of yourself as how FRIENDS and FAMILY members think of you? —that’s the realest questions you’ll ever have to ask yourself. As I grow older I tend to ask myself a lot of questions, mostly because life is beginning to get super real (the older you get people). I noticed that in order to be fully vulnerable with […]

make lemonade!

March 8, 2018 by keepingupwithMJ

Hello loves, Happy International Women’s Day. “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” Today’s post I’m encouraging you to make lemonade when life gives you lemons! I have been given lots of lemons throughout my years of life, but I always tried to make “lemonade” or make better out of my situation. […]

bye bye comfort zones.

July 11, 2017 by keepingupwithMJ

Stepping out of your comfort zone is never an easy task, then again taking any step onto an new path is scary. Should that stop us? Should we be so afraid or caught up in what seems familiar that we X out every other possible new venture? In case you do not know the answer, it’s “NO“. We cannot allow ourselves to lose out on something that may be better for us. Often times I get nervous, anxious, “uncomfortable” and […]

never thirst again.

October 26, 2016 by keepingupwithMJ

It’s time to quench your thirst.💛 As mentioned in one of my previous posts, “You Are Enough” if someone cannot see how incredible you are, let them go! If someone cannot appreciate what you have to offer, keep it to yourself. Lock it up, throw away the key. Okay, don’t throw away the key because someone worthy might come knocking! (See previous post) No need to ever waste your time again. Never thirst for them again. Never thirst for things […]

October 3, 2016 by keepingupwithMJ

As I did in one of my previous posts, 23 Reasons To Love Yourself, I’ll be giving you reasons why it’s okay to motivate yourself. Here are 17 things […]

the power of the mind.

June 14, 2016 by keepingupwithMJ

We do not give ourselves enough credit because if we did we would realize that we are capable of so much, but we tend to hold back. We hold back so much, both consciously and unconsciously. Time to take back power of our minds. First step, acknowledge what the mind can do. Growing up you ever wondered why your parents told you to not watch or listen to certain things? The reason behind that is this, your mind is powerful […]
