Be measured by your own yardstick

Hello my loves! How’s your summer so far? I can’t believe it’s July already, it is starting to feel like a speedbump summer, and I’m trying to take it all in. I pray that you all continue to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world in the spaces you occupy.  This week’s focus will be short and sweet.  As we go through our respective journeys it is inevitable that we’ll meet people who for whatever reason will try and put us in a box with labels that intend us harm.  Do not give up control of the pen to write your own story. Remember, your gifts will make room for you, don’t be afraid to unapologetically walk in your own skin. Do not allow anyone’s opinion of you to stifle your potential.  When you stand in your own skin know that you are worthy, and you belong.  The opinion of others does not define you; this is equally true whether it be scorn or praise.  As always, thanks for spending some time with me, and keep on keeping on.
