National Suicide Prevention Month

According to a “National Today” article, 123 suicides a day occur on average in our country. The article states that it is the second leading cause of death for people ages 24-35. Life is hard. Oftentimes, we don’t have a clue about struggles people carry. We just see their smiles and assume they are okay. I encourage you to check on your strong friends and be mindful of how you treat others. And just in case you need a kind word…….Remember God loves you and I love you too. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone. You don’t have to suffer in silence. The article below includes a hotline and other resources.

My Top 5 Female R&B Singers

1. Whitney Houston

2. Monica

3. Fantasia

4. Jasmine Sullivan

5. Beyonce

Whitney’s voice is #1 because her voice is smooth like butter. It’s powerful when needed and strong when needed. Monica’s voice is #2 because she is so underrated. She has a strong but smooth voice that is very similar to Whitney. Fantasia is #3 on my list because she is a powerful soul singer. Everything she sings has the ability to touch you in some kind of way. Jasmine Sullivan is #4 because she is the queen of runs and has crazy range. Beyoncé is #5 on my list because although she is the best entertainer of my singer’s list she has more of a pop style of music that sometimes doesn’t let her vocals shine as much. Who’s your top 5?

Why Wait? Don’t Procrastinate!

Do you have a habit of procrastinating? There may be times when you know there is plenty to do but you linger to start a task. People who procrastinate often say they work better under pressure but that’s not true. Working in a rush leaves more room for error and let’s just say I learned this from experience. I struggle with procrastination and I am slowly getting better. My husband may have a different opinion.🤭 I constantly remind myself to begin a task by using these thoughts 💭

• Starting a job sooner than later can help relieve anxiety.

• Starting a job sooner gives time to correct errors and make improvements.

• Starting a job sooner gives a better opportunity to achieve greatness.

So don’t wait another week to accomplish whatever it is you have been trying to do. Start now. Gradually work until you are not just finished, but you have exceeded your expectations. You can do it. Give yourself a timeline and hold yourself accountable.
