COURAGE IS...Speaking Out Against Racial Injustice

Courage Is...Speaking Out Against Racial Injustice.

I’M TIRED! Tired of watching the hatred and ignorance of people take out the lives of innocent people because of the color of their beautiful skin. Tired of reading posts from the misinformed on matters that they don’t have the capacity or willingness to understand.

Tired of having to have conversations with my sons on why they have to act differently than others in situations in order to simply make it back home alive. Tired of seeing the same tragic news stories flash across my screen showing the same brown faces as the victims of yet another senseless murder. TIRED. TIRED. TIRED. Aren’t you tired? We should ALL be tired! It takes COURAGE to speak out against racial injustice and even more to put actions behind your words. Sitting back is not an option…it’s a shame! Let’s be courageous this week and use our voices to invoke change. And let's be courageous enough to help others correct their thinking and ignorant behaviors.

COURAGE IS...Walking Away From What No Longer Serves You Well In Your Life

5/11/2020

COURAGE IS...walking away from what no longer serves you well in your life. Release it, grieve it and make peace with it.

It takes courage to recognize, let go of and walk away from what no longer serves you well in your life. Many of us hold on to it because it's all we've known.

We became very comfortable with it and all of the unhealthy things that came along with it. Letting it go requires you to release it, grieve it and be at peace with your decision. You will be better for it. What do you need to walk away from that is no longer serving you well?

COURAGE IS...Investing Your "Yes"and Exercising your "No"

5/4/2020

COURAGE IS...Investing your "YES" and exercising your "NO"!

It's time to re-examine where you invest your "yes" and start boldly exercising your "no". Be intentional about where you invest your "yes" because it will cost you something...financially, emotionally, and spiritually.

What are those things that you've said "yes" to in your life that might not be yielding a return on your investment? “No” is not a bad word. These two letters, N-O, can make the biggest difference in how you set healthy boundaries in your life and can make room for other things that God is putting higher on your priority list. There is a season for everything.

COURAGE IS...Redefining Yourself

4/20/2020

Hello, my name is Dr. DeYonne Parker and I'm a recovered people pleaser. I've spent many years trying to please people only to be disappointed when it wasn't reciprocated. It takes courage to unlearn and move beyond a behavior that you've been accustomed to for so long. It takes courage to rediscover and redefine yourself and unapologetically teach others how to treat you but it's necessary. It's a new day, my friend. Write your definition. WHO ARE YOU?

Let me know if I can help.

COURAGE IS...Failing without Fleeing.
Soooo...you tried something and it didn't work as well as you planned. If failed. To create an awesome plan, project or product sometimes it's necessary to fail. That's when we PIVOT! Don't get stuck and stalled in the failure; use it as fuel for your next attempt. Failing builds our courage muscles and gives us a reason to try again. You can do this.

COURAGE IS...Rising After A Hard Fall

4/6/2020

COURAGE IS...rising after a hard fall.
It's hard to get up after a frightening fall (believe me I know!).

Whether the fall derived from a personal or professional experience, there is always something to learn from it.

The trick here is to apply what you've learned and do your best not to repeat the same action. So, rise, dust yourself off and courageously move forward with your head held high. It's necessary.

Let me know if you need my help.

What Are You Wearing Right Now?

3/24/2020

What are you WEARING right now? Before you gasp and give me the side eye, let me explain what I mean by this seemingly obnoxious question.

Many of us are working from home right now due to the current state of our world, which means you might be rocking your favorite pajamas, sweatpants and t-shirt. That’s cool! I’m all for casual and comfort and believe me I’m wearing the same thing.
