  • ✨It’s okay to C R A W L// Let’s say goodbye to this summer with some truths: This summer was rough! The whole time I felt like I was doing absolutely nothing. I felt like a child trying to crawl to get a job, find purpose, fix issues, and make things work. . . But I always remind myself that in whatever season I am in. There is a reason. Even though I felt like I was crawling from one hurt to another, it was a peaceful summer. . . I got to spend a lot of time with this heifa. I got to dream big and jumped into photography. We also got to go to a new adventure(cruising) which I can’t wait to do it again. . . . This summer showed me that: 1) there is rest, peace and growth in hard seasons. 2) it’s okay to try something new 3) chase your dreams/desires... 4) it’s okay to jump into new things. Nobody likes regrets!! 5) JESUS IS GOOOOOOOD!!! He provides in the most weirdest ways! . . . What did you learn from this summer!✨
  • ✨Having a better relationship with yourself//loving and encouraging ourselves. . . It’s easy to pick yourself apart because well let’s be honest, there are not a lot of people going around giving encouragement and compliments. So it’s easy to not like your face, your hair, your eyes and everything in between. . . . I remember in high school and parts of college I hated my smile, my small little body, my hair, the fact that I pronounce every other word wrong and just hated being me. . . The fun thing is, I would turn around and compliment people. Encourage them, push them to see how funny, sweet, lovely and darling they are. But sadly I wasn’t able to do that for my self. . . Can I be honest, YOU need to develop a better relationship with you. Meaning if you can’t tell your friend that they are ugly then you most definitely cannot tell yourself that. It’s sad that 95% of women do not love themselves. They would look at someone else and see beauty but when they look at themselves they see trash. I personally think their is a problem with that. Part of the problem is growing up in an environment that didn’t encourage us to see that we are beautiful. . . Something that I started doing to overcome self hate was really looking at myself in mirror. I would smile and tell myself my eyes are lovely, my smile is big and bright, my small body is all I got and that I am pretty darn cute. . . If you are in a stage in your life where you hate yourself, know that you’re not alone. But know that you don’t have to stay there. Start encouraging yourself, start seeing yourself as beautiful, smart, and lovely. . . Here are some tips: 1) find a friend who can keep you accountable and that you can talk too. 2) love yourself enough to want a healthy relationship with yourself. 3) treat yourself with love and respect. 4) speak kindly to yourself. Show yourself grace!! 5) track down the root of the self hate. The way we view ourselves started somewhere in our childhood. TRACK THAT MESS!! 6) start cleaning out the negativity from your mind about how you see yourself. 7) Trust the Lord. . . How have you started developing a better/healthy relationship with yourself?
  • ✨Shutting down-Losing friendships/ . . We already know my boy crazy years( if you don’t read previous post). Well now welcome to my loosing friends years. . . The first time I lost three friendships within a week was my senior year in high school. At the time I was “dating” a boy named Kevin. Two of my girlfriends told him something about me. And. When I found out about it I was frustrated and mad. I immediately shut down and stopped talking to them for like a week. . . I remember a few weeks later they both talked to me and wrote me a letter to apologize about how 1) they were sorry they didn’t include me in the conversation and 2) they hoped we could be friends again. . . Well my heifa self didn’t responded to their apologies until three four months later. By then they had already moved on, and I had developed a bad habit of shutting down and punishing people when they have wronged me ( sadly I didn’t figure that out till this year. I am getting better y’all). At the time I didn’t know myself, forgiveness, giving and receiving grace. . . . From losing those friendships quickly I started believing having a group of friends was not my thing( the Lord of course showed up in the last years of my college years and proved me wrong.) y’all Jesus is a freaking redeemer of whatever the enemy tries to take from you. . . . I am in a place where I want to keep developing friendship relationships, treat people better, and as always face conflict( which I am okay with now) and keep growing. . . . If you are in a place where you have lost friends: 1) know that that’s not the end for you. 2)If you are the shutting down kind person, learn to push through it. The best way to do that is to realize that there are two hearts or three in whatever situation it is and be mindful and thought of their emotions as well. 3) there is power, peace, rest and hearing in forgiveness. 4) if you regret past friendships: let it go and strive to do better from now on. Don’t limit yourself to your past. 5) there is hope for everyone to grow and change into who the Lord has created you to be. . . What is your thoughts about shutting down emotion? P.sIf you have any questions DM me.✨
  • ✨dating RELATIONSHIPS// how you might be self sabotaging yourself. . . I was talking to a sweet friend( who always says the realest things) and she pointed out how I should dive into sharing more about relationships. So since today is #nationalboyfriendday❤️ I thought it is the perfect time to share the beginning stages of Nathan and I’s relationship. . . Way before we were Mr and Mrs. We were Nathan and Winnie.. two people who happened to be dating. For me in high school I said yes to any boy because at the time 1) I didn’t know myself 2) I didn’t know how to say NO and 3) I always thought it was better to be hurt than be the one hurting someone. In saying yes to all the boys soon enough they found out I wasn’t “doing it” so they would drop me a hot potato. From that many rejection I just developed a whole lot of insecurities. . . . By the time I got to college I was just kissing everybody. However when I met Nathan at first he was like “ nah bro I don’t like you like that” but then you know people grow🤣. Soon enough we started dating... this is where it gets interesting. I STARTED DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO PUSH THE DUDE AWAY. In my mind I was like “ he is like everybody else. I will give 2-3 weeks and then he will realize what’s good then he will bounce.” He didn’t bounce, homeboy did that!!! 🥰 . . . For 3 straight months I was a little minion. When it finally hit me that he wasn’t going anywhere, I decided to get my life together. . . . So if you have a history of being rejected and you are about to enter into a new relationship here is a few things to lookout for: 1) have you healed from your rejections 2) what are you holding on too 3) are you ready to start a new relationship with a clean foundation. 4) you deserve a great relationship 5) don’t settle for less bby . . . It’s easy to want to sabotage any new, exciting, sometimes-it-feels-unreal relationship. If you recognize these signs, evaluate yourself, ask a pal for help. Don’t let a good person walk away from your life because you’re afraid. . . . Thanks for reading!!! Also happy national boyfriend day to one of the best out there! Love you @natewarner777 bby💕
  • ✨I am Winnie married to Nathan: WILD SAUCE!! 🤷🏾‍♀️✨ . . 10/2: Luke 5:1-7... learning to trust the Lord in the midst of my doubts and random picnics about provision. . . Choosing to listen to his direction even when it doesn’t make sense to me. Choosing to throw out the net and trust that he will be the one to catch for me what I need. . . If you’re confused...Go read those verses. In the meantime enjoy this pics of me and hubs! The last one is my fave! . . . What are your plans for October? ✨
  • ✨ Beloved, It’s been a minute. But let’s hit the ground running shall we. . . In my little heavenly Winnie world life is always good( minus the rough moments 😅). But this last two weeks has been Extra sweet. Meet my two new pals( M & B) when I say we clicked, I mean we for real clicked like magnets. . . Every season I am always hopeful and prayerful to meet people I click with so well that the Lord dances with me in the midst of the joy I feel of having new friends. That the heavenly places will throw a party when people gather together and become homies bc of having Jesus in common. . . This past weeks has been filled with laughter, answered prayers, Joy, lots of shade thrown and well food 😂( and wine). So if you haven’t had that sweet of a week Here is a little encouragement for your beautiful self. 1) if you see someone you think you would be friends with, go say hello and invite them for a coffee. 2) choose to pursue 3) you are worthy of sweet friendships 4) pray for new people in your life. 5) keep dancing for sweet answered prayers bc YESSSS ITS THAT SWEET. 6) you are LOVED, seen, and ADORED. The father in heaven is ready to adopt you into his family for you to experience all the joy, all the peace and all rest in his never ending grace! . . . How has your weeks been? Share about yourself. I would love to read about it!
  • ✨It’s #marriagemonday // to the time we got all dressed up and went to din din today at a big ol boat. What a stud!! 😆😆 . . . To the once who don’t know, I am married to this awesome guy. From the jump I have always been honest, I don’t want you believing that when I post a picture of us smiling that our marriage is easy. . . . It’s not. . . Marriage is hard in many ways but here is a few things I have experienced: 1) I need to learn to be kind and selfless. I can’t ways claim the last cookie as mine. 2) apologizing for making a mistake or being wrong doesn’t make you weak. 3) It’s okay to let past hurts go( still working on this one) 4 ) promises will be broken( because we are learning to keep our word and be consistent...working on this.) . . 5) the church tells men they are the leader of the house but don’t teach them how. ( I think every church should have “ how to be a leader of your home 101”) bc there are too many classes telling woman how to wives but not any telling men to be leaders. . . 6) vulnerability is okay from both parties. 7) your husband ain’t always going to be on point and you just got lift him up in prayer and encourage him the best way possible. 8)it’s okay to not be okay but don’t sit in it. 9) laugh 👏🏾all👏🏾the👏🏾time. Bc the person you’re married too is your bestie so try them as such. 10) enjoy meals( breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner) together because it gives you time to talk and look at each other 🤣 11) ITS UP TO YOU IF YOUR MARRIAGE GROWS AND THRIVES. SO BE WILLING TO CHANGE. You are not defined by whatever environment you grew up in. Your marriage is your marriage FIGHT FOR IT!! . . . How was your monday? Any marriage tips? ✨

Do you have any tips for people going through a stressful unexpected season? ✨
