Love Yourself to Life

In a world filled with constant demands and pressures, finding the time and guidance to prioritize self-care and self-love can feel overwhelming. That's where Love Yourself to Life steps in as your daily dose of empowerment and self-nurturing. As a survivor of domestic violence and a suicide attempt, I know the work it takes to heal and provide support for subscribers.

Stepping into Spring — A Fresh Beginning Together

Happy Day Reader! This Friday, we officially shift from winter into spring — a quiet but powerful reminder that change can be gentle, beautiful, and full of promise. For the remainder of this month, our focus will be Reset, Reflection, and Gentle Awakening. Reset means giving yourself permission to begin again without guilt. Release what felt heavy, what didn’t go as planned, and what you’ve outgrown. A reset is not failure — it is wisdom choosing peace. Reflection invites you to look back...

Happy Day Reader! Wow! We are already on day 2 of the 2nd month of 2026. Already over a month in and I'm so thankful for today. My heart has grown to not allowing anyone to enter into the inner chambers of it. I've learned to protect--guard my heart (Proverbs 4:23). Which brings me to the topic of today's email. Healing. This time last year, I had gone through a healing process after a connection was disconnected. It taught me a valuable lesson and I love me even more since I allowed God to...

A Day of Remembering Reader, Today we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001. It was a day that left a mark on our nation and on our hearts. Many lives were lost, families were shattered, and countless people still carry the weight of those memories. Even after all these years, we continue to honor the lives taken, the heroes who rose up, and the resilience of a people who refused to be defeated by tragedy. In moments like these, we are reminded of God’s power to bring healing...

Happy Day Reader! I keep hearing God whisper one word into my spirit—Restore. I don’t know exactly what He’s going to restore, but I trust Him. And that trust is what keeps me moving, even when life feels uncertain or heavy. Restoration doesn’t always look the way we expect. Sometimes God restores what was lost, sometimes He restores us in ways we didn’t even know we needed. That broken place in our hearts? He can heal it. The dream we thought was gone forever? He can breathe life into it...

Happy Day Reader! Today I did a thing! I set a foundation for the Word, Worship, and Fellowship. I joined Fellowship Christian Center, Pastor Kevin Kelly in LIttle Rock, AR. This is the first time I have been an in-person member of a church since COVID. I knew that when the Holy Spirit fell upon me that I was HOME. Not only do I get to start serving and being a part of a church family/community, I get to workship with my niece, Tracy! Right now, I want to share something that has been sitting...

Happy Day Reader! It's taken me a while to write this email due to various reasons. When God puts a dream in your heart, it doesn't always go as planned, but it doesn't mean that you stop trying. You may need to take a step back and re-evaluate, but don't give up. I want to share something personal with you today—not for sympathy, but to speak life into your dreams. After months of planning, meetings, research, and spending thousands of dollars, I made the decision not to continue the...

Happy Day Reader! I’ve been sitting at my computer praying and honestly—feeling frustrated. Waiting on answers, trying to figure out the next steps, and wondering if I’m missing something. Sound familiar? If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain tired of things not going how you expected, I want to invite you to breathe for a moment. I wrote a blog and recorded a video (a while ago!) on dealing with frustrations—and listening to it again today reminded me I’m not alone. And...

Happy Day Reader! There’s something beautiful about our everyday moments—the ones nobody sees or claps for. The way we push through tired mornings, wipe our tears, and keep showing up even when the world isn’t watching. We don’t need a perfect post or polished caption to prove we’re living well. Real life is deeper than what shows up on a screen. Social media doesn’t show the full story—and that’s okay. The images we scroll through are often edited, filtered, and framed for applause. But...

Happy Day Reader! Let’s pause and celebrate something beautiful—our laugh lines. You know, those gentle creases around our eyes and mouths that show up when joy breaks through. They aren’t flaws. They’re living proof that we’ve smiled through sorrow, laughed during late-night conversations, and found reasons to rejoice, even when life tried to dim our light. Our laugh lines are proof that joy lives here. These lines tell the story of the joy we refused to let go of. They’re the marks of...

Happy Day Reader! It’s Saturday—and I just wanted to drop a little love in your inbox. You ever look around and feel like everybody’s doing something? Traveling here, launching that, posting like life is a movie… and meanwhile, you're just trying to finish your coffee before it goes cold (again)? Let me whisper this in your heart: You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re not missing anything that was meant for you. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause. Not hustle. Not...
