Spring Forward... Looking Ahead/ The Affirmations (2025 and Beyond)/Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Image
I will not look back or revert back. I've learnt the lesson, and I am moving forward. I am moving forward in peace, prosperity, purpose and meaningful experiences and relationships with family, friends and selected peers. I will not give my time, space and presence to everyone. I realize some people add value to me as a person, while others are only sent to drain me of time, space, opportunities, productivity, elevation, resources, blessings and momentum.  I will observe my sphere. I will observe who and what is in it that is adding value to me as a person. I will also observe who and what is draining me as a person and remove myself from their presence. I will be honest withmyself. I will not make excuses for those who drain me. Furthermore, I will not fail to acknowledge those who've helped me get this far in my life and journey.  I will go further than before. I will go further than I thought possible. I will go further than people said that I should, would or ...

This is not the season to look back or revert back. Learn the lesson, and move forward. Forward to peace, prosperity, purpose and meaningful experiences and relationships with family, friends and selected peers. You cannot afford to give your time, space and presence to everyone. Some people add value to you as a person. Other people are sent to drain you of time, opportunities, productivity, elevation, resources, blessings and momentum.  Observe your sphere. Who and what in it adds value to you as a person? Then, who and what in it drains you as a person? Be honest. Don't make excuses for those who drain you? Furthermore, don't fail to acknowledge those who helped you get this far. Go further than before. Go further than you thought possible. Go further than people said you should, could or would. Don't look back. Look ahead. Only look back to see how far you've come. Look forward to a new year, new methods and a fresh spin on your purpose. Live forward. Se...

A Letter from the Creator and Founder

Image
Dear KU Ladies: Focus on you. Love you. Believe in you. Work on you everyday. Taking care of yourself is so important. Be proactive. Learn yourself and know yourself well. Listen to your intuition. I know we live in a culture where we depend heavily on doctor's and medicine. However, some things we experience can be cured just by changing how we eat and incorporating fitness and establishing a practical yet personal relationship with God. I get it. Some people may not need to go to the gym regularly to stay fit. God bless their good genes. However, many of us must incorporate fitness and good eating habits to maintain our health and wellness. I totally understand. Preferences. Beliefs. Everyone is entitled to choose what path they will follow. Whatever suits you. But as for me, being close to Jesus and being intuned with the Holy Spirit has transformed my life. Please. Don't think that self-care is just about looking great or better physically. Self-care is about ev...

Celebrating the Value of Womanhood/ The Importance & Evolution of Self Care- March 2025/ Cheering Yourself On to Victory- Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Image
In no way do I desire to be a reactive person, when encountering the insensitivity of others conduct. However, I will be responsive. I will be proactive with God's help. Cheer yourself on to victory! The Apostle Peter builds our awareness in his writings, saying, "Everyone is going through something. So never think you're the only one facing challenges from time to time."  When you do overcome challenges, celebrate your victories! Don't allow others to keep you in defeat mode or make you feel bad for overcoming the battles you've fought and won. Remember, before every victory there will be a battle. But you are battle ready. You are battle tested and God approved. You see, people think that battles are fought through militant ways. But as believers, we fight the Jesus way, according to Romans 13, 2Corinthians 10:3-6, and Ephesians 6:10-19. Prayer, fasting, love, standing guard and standing firm on the truth and right principles, defending the faith...

Celebrating the Value of Womanhood/ The Importance & Evolution of Self Care- March 2025/ Focus On Your Own Journey-Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Image
As women, sometimes, we can get so caught up in others lives that we neglect to nurture our own lives. You can utilize someone else's life as motivation to better yourself. However, never let it carry you to the point of strife, envy or bitterness.  There is so much value in your personal journey. We all have a unique journey catered to our unique personality and purpose. We all have a story to tell.  Self-care is you sharing your story and caring about yourself. Nuture you. Invest in your own journey.  Gather resources and the right information. Read up on what it takes to improve your health and overall wellness. Envision the you you want to be and are becoming. As my good friend says, "Capture the ebs and flows of life." Your life, your journey carries a rhythm and a rhyme. Sometimes, you just have to go with it, and other times you have to just let go and let life flow. Let God carry you. Let God take you further than you thought possible. Let God get the ...

Celebrating the Value of Womanhood/ The Importance & Evolution of Self Care- March 2025/ Leaning Into Mini Moments of R&R- Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Image
Oh my goodness. Every moment of your life counts. Every moment matters. Every mini moment of your life is making you. Every mini moment is teaching you a valuable lesson. What have you learned from the many mini moments of your life? I have learned to be patient. Wiser. A little more courageous to be myself in a world full of clones. Creative me. Introverted me. Cheerful me. Quiet me.  In every mini moment of my life, your life, our lives, a portion of who and what we are appears to be noticeable, visible, tangible. Who are you? What are you? What is your creative expression? There are layers to you. Do you notice them? Do you nurture them? Do you identify with them? Every creative moment is a mini moment. Every quiet moment of solitude and reflection is a mini moment. Every moment that you share with others is a mini moment captured in your life. What have you learned and noted from each moment. Within each day are many mini moments. Lean into them. Learn from them. Ta...

Celebrating the Value of Womanhood/ The Importance & Evolution of Self Care- March 2025/ How to Value You In A World of Comparison- Rashea@LLO2 Academy

"Short."  So what.  That, also, depends on perspective. No. Maybe for a woman you're just super tall. I cannot stand when really tall women minimize shorter woman, as if we are less than because they are much taller. I like being 5'3. I always have. In a world of average height people I was never deemed short until I encountered taller people throughout my life.  Men don't go around minimizing the height of shorter women. It's usually taller women that do that. I wonder why though? Sometimes, I really think it's a self esteem issue being that they are much taller than the average woman. Does height really matter? Or do we emphasize the difference of height to hide self esteem issues? Can a person really control their height? No. They really can't.  Height is one of those things that only God and genetics can control. Do not compare yourself to other women. There will always be someone taller or shorter than you. Prettier or not as attractiv...
