Your Mind, Your Body, Your Choice: It's YOUR Life...what are you going to do with it?
Pressure is real! Depression is taking our friends and family away from us in various ways and hate is at an all time high. How do I handle these things? Not always correctly, but eventually I figure it out. Walk with me as I not only share my pain, grief good and bad times, but also share adoption stories, abortion grief, how to break generational curses and grow in love. Listen in as I share others stories about the choices they have made whether right, wrong or indifferent. Email me at: Sonya.McQueen69@outlook.com with questions, comments or if...

There are times when people ask general questions about how you are feeling, but really don't pay attention to your response....listen in as I speak of this happening to me recently.
Assigned or allowed?
If you are anything like me, you have often brought people into your life, allowing them access to your heart, your family...your home, and were greatly disappointed when they failed you. You put a lot of time and energy into building a 'ship' with them, with no return of care; that is because these people were allowed into your life - by you! Assigned 'ships' are ordained. Listen in as I discuss the difference.
Is stealing the same on all levels?
Have you ever stole anything? Picture me asking, 'have you eva' been thief'in? I have. Now, have you ever stole something from someone and didn't care about the outcome? Ready to hurt them over items they worked hard to purchase because you felt more deserving? Me either...let's discuss.

Trust is a gift. If someone extends it to you, hold it close to you and cherish it. Listen in as I discuss what genuine trust is like.
Don't give up
Sometimes when things don't happen the way we want, when we want, we move on and say that thing is dead, it is no longer an option. Say this with me: My dreams, goals, business, love, life...it isn't dead - it is just dormant. Listen in as I give (mostly me) hope.

That is just the way I am
There are times people say, 'that is just the way I am... deal with it' and you should. There are other times they use those words, and you understand the lack of growth they are showing.

So, you are embarrassed of your past?
Have you had situations in your past that you pray no one ever finds out about? Do you avoid certain people because they know about your skeletons and you don't want to be outed? If this is you, listen to my thoughts on this subject.

I am the real one...believe me!

Boundaries set!

Are you using your VOICE appropriately?
I started this podcast 11.3.25, but had to add a few things after prayer on 11.4, so if this skips a bit...my apologies.
