Dinner with Martin Amis |
The one time I had an opportunity to meet Martin Amis, I ended up taking heroin instead. I’m not especially proud of this fact, it was a kind of accident, but also perhaps a lucky swerve from the more difficult experience of having to have dinner wit |

It’s not the one you think… Decameron—that’s a long book. I powered through it this past summer. I was like a self-propelled lawn mower, had to be. I had a lot of big books on my to-do list. Each one of ’em was allotted two weeks and no more. I “had |
Do you pray, sis? |
I do. All the time. Every day. |
I pray for my wife, for Nanna, for my family, my friends, my sisters, my team … I pray for guidance, personally and professionally, so I can make the difference I know I was born to make. |
I pray for YOU. And I pray for your business, as your vehicle for transforming lives. |
I pray for Defy Impossible, Inc.—MY vehicle for transforming lives, one seven-figure sister at a time, as The Black Women Millionaires Mentor™. |
Our businesses allow us to change the world. |
I don’t separate my faith and my business. God (and prayer) is a HUGE part of Defy Impossible. |
Today, I thought back over the years, about what I’ve prayed for. And I wanted to share a few of my prayers with you. |
Like this one, from a while back now, when I felt lost and desperate for guidance: |
Show me Lord, what is it that You want me to do, and I will pour my heart into it gladly. Teach me how to pray and what |
to pray for. Show me Your ways, and I will do my best to follow. Hear me as someone who wants desperately to make good on the life You spared. I want so badly to please You Lord. I keep trying, and trying. You kept me alive for a reason. I know that I am emotional, and impulsive, and sensitive, and not the best with de... |
I’ve kept going for as long as I can remember. Giving up just isn’t a choice, for me. |
And when I’ve been tempted to give up, prayer has lifted me up, and made me keep going. |
Here’s another: |
You are my breath |
You are the beat of my heart |
You are the blood dancing through my veins |
and until You say otherwise |
I will do the next step in front of me and the next step and the next step |
to honor the calling on my life |
and fulfill my destiny |
It’s amazing, how God shows up for you, when you ask. |
And as the holiday season comes into full swing, I am so grateful to have the opportunity right now to offer one more prayer to you, now, in love: |
Dear God, |
To know You is to love You. And I do love You Lord. |
Thank You for never leaving me. For always, in all ways, waiting on me to hear You. I give thanks that You give me ears to hear You so very clearly, when I get quiet. I give thanks for You bringing blessings to me that I never could have asked for. My life is Your life. You are my God. As long as I live, I will do my v... |
My whole life is ordered around You, knowing how deeply I appreciate You. |
You spared my life. |
You saved my life. |
You have put people in my path to help me heal and to make me whole. |
You have loved me so completely, as myself. |
You have come to me and met me where I am, no condemnation. No judgement. NO punishment. Nothing but love. |
You let me curse and pray in the same breath–I even imagine you smiling at the thought that I would think You would be offended by my antics. |
You just love me. |
And You only bring people into my life who love me, just the way I am. |
I have learned to love the way You do. |
I try to see myself through Your eyes and I am moved by what You see. |
God, You see me as the embodiment of Yourself made flesh. |
You let me be Your hands and Your feet and Your mouth. |
You grant me Your favor, Lord. Someone so hurt, so damaged. So less. |
And YOU keep raising me up. |
Thanks for staying with me, sis, as I become what God needs me to be in order to fulfill my destiny … as I continue to grow into that ever-expanding space! |
I thank you for the bigness of your heart, the generosity of your spirit, and your courageous commitment to living a life free and joy-filled. YOU are my hero. I love you and I thank God for your presence on the planet. Thank you for allowing me in your life and for reading my words. It is an honor to be able to contri... |

Good morning God! Thank you for waking me up to continue in this journey that you have planned for me. Command your Angels to keep my heart when I feel faint. Let my mind remember that I am anchor in you. Allow my body to move to your command and my Spirit Woman to be renewed each day. |
