A Heart Matter ❤️

The heart symbol has become such a widely used sign in our culture of communication. Have you ever taken a moment to count how many texts or messages you send, receive, or are exposed to on a daily basis with the heart emoji inserted in it? ❤️ We use the heart emoji so much that we hardly even think about it when communicating. We now even use the two phrases “heart” and “love” interchangeably that they practically mean the same thing. So what is it about the heart that makes it so special? And why does it matter? The heart is the seat of affection is a symbol of love and emotional connectedness among others. When we use the heart emoji in our communication, we are letting the other person know that we care and that we love them, at least when it is used thoughtfully and with intention. The heart is central to love and affection. The NYTA life, which is relationship dependent, is a matter of the heart. God is love, and it is no surprise that He is particular about the heart. He has called us into a love relationship with Him. Think of the heart as the key that unlocks that relationship. A NYTA’s life is an expression of who God is, and that is why His ask is that we give Him our heart. Without our hearts involved, we can’t truly experience the full capacity that is contained in or that can be enjoyed in God. Relationship with Him must start from the heart. When we truly give Him our heart, we are saying: We care about You and we love you and we give you the core of our being. “My son, give me your heart and let your eyes observe My ways” – Proverbs 23:26 When we give Him our hearts, we are connecting the core of our being to the source of life. Love gives, and the heart is the perfect gift of love. Would you give him your heart and reset your heart to focus on Him who is the source of NYTA living? P.S. I send out this newsletter once weekly to help you step into the extraordinary life in Christ. I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who may be encouraged by NYTA’s message. For those ready to step deeper into trust, surrender, and dependence on God... With love and gratitude, |

What you see matters – scar or beauty, blemishes or uniqueness. It is all about perspective. Many of us carry scars that we are ashamed of. They may be physical scars, emotional scars, mental scars, or other unpleasant experiences that linger. For some, it is a past they would rather not talk about. For some, a physical scar that you have been covering or hiding from the world. For others, it could be an emotional burden you have carried for so long. In my book NYTA, I shared my personal...
Relying on one’s own ability and creativity is a recipe for living below your potential. Know the fuel that powers your extraordinary existence! A few years ago, when I got the inspiration to begin my fashion line, High + Title, formerly called OYÈ Collection, I questioned how in the world it would be a reality, considering my lack of experience in this area. I knew that to be a fashion designer, I needed a way to translate the designs I had in my head into drawings on paper before I could...
We live in a culture where we consume more than we create. Yet, each one of us has been created with unique qualities, attributes and creative gifts that -- if unleashed -- would bring flavor and joy to the world. When I obtained my Doctoral degree as a healthcare professional, though it was a great accomplishment that anyone should be proud of, I couldn’t help but recognize the dissatisfaction I still felt. I thought to myself: this couldn’t possibly be all there is to me. In my state of...
