The Family Career Woman

You ever met someone who was dead set on proving people wrong? Let me tell you something about those people... those types of people are always bitter trying to tell people how they don't need them,  how they can do things on their own without help. How they're going to be somebody and prove to everybody who had something to say that they are somebody. The sad thing is they'll be in a life or death situation and never ask a soul for help because of the trauma they experienced over the years.  For some reason a counterfeit voice and not the voice of God is more listened to than one of reason. The Bible says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and a fool despises instruction." Isn't it funny how the enemy-OUR enemy the devil is into clouding our judgment so badly that the things that are toxic to our souls is acceptable but not something good like good advice, or productivity? People who genuinely mean well are shunned, rejected, abused...

 For several years now it's been a struggle to write poetry, songs, and a whole lot of other things I used to do. I've been wondering why it's been so difficult but after my first video about my logo, and slogan, then a LIVE about my blog I felt something activate. Life wouldn't let up and when I tried to release in my usual cathartic manner I didn't feel connected to the poetry that I wrote and ultimately I'd throw them away. I guess I was activated a few weeks ago because I started hearing melodies in my head again, and poems as well as seeing creative things I used to. Something broke is all I know, and if you're spiritual enough to understand that then know that something in me has come back and that means more things are to come in so many other ways.  Metamorphosis By Shakana Borders 11/23/20   First you judged me, then you bugged me. Tried to point out how everyone passed or rose above me. You can’t compare my struggle to theirs, cause I carry m...

 DISCLAIMER: I really have no points or scriptures but merely a perspective on what is going on during this pandemic. If you want scripture to go off of I'd say "Train up a child in the way he should go even when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22: 6) Ultimately we mean in the way of the Lord, but making these little human beings into people who can stand on something solid at the end of the day is all we really desire, and we desire to do it regardless of stereotypes, race, creed, background…etc. I hope that my venting has helped nonetheless, and helped you to see this whole situation differently. I hope it awakens you to the needs of your children as a mother or father, and sends you to pray for strategy to follow. That's all the scripture and points I have to offer but onto this blog! At the beginning of this pandemic, Parents and children alike were in a frenzy because of the lockdown. Personally my family had just moved into our home after a year ...

This term and year has been by far the most complicated, enjoyable, frustrating, and fulfilling that I've ever had. I must admit that 2019 was not that great considering that me and my family were homeless from January 2019 to February 2020. Various things happened and there were multiple times I wanted to give up, but I stayed focused by God's grace and mercy.  I'm so happy to report that I've completed my final term at American Intercontinental University and I'm going to be participating in the ceremony next year because it was postponed due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.  If you don't know the story I'd like to briefly sum it up from where I started. I received a call from Mr. Quentin Young in 2018 several days before being evicted from my apartment alongside my husband and children. He called me on my house phone and I don't usually answer because of the spam calls but for some reason today was different. I let him know about t...
