Beyond The Likes
|
Hey! The Love Story Continues… Looking through the lens of the “likes” culture on social media can teach us some real-life lessons if we would pause for a moment to observe. As beautiful as social media is for connection, it can also shape a false story about who we are. The culture of likes is built on opinions, and the thing about opinions is this: they change. One day you may feel celebrated, and the next, overlooked. That can make your joy depend on approval, performance, or the number of likes you receive. You start to believe lies about your self-worth based on people’s likes or lack thereof. And that is a dangerous way to live. Can I share something with you? You are who God says you are. You are loved. Your worth is not defined by likes, accolades, or validation. You are loved on days you get it right, and on days you miss the mark. This is the kind of love God offers us through Jesus Christ. He loved us first, and He invites us into a deeper relationship with Him. We just need to say “yes” to this love life with Him, and if you already have, would you push to go even deeper? Beyond the social media likes, would you step out of the “likes” and dive into “love” instead? I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who could use NYTA’s message. Thank you for continuing this journey with me! With love, |

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...
