Kandi-Lee Crooks on Making Decisions :
Whenever situations or opportunities present themselves , I place them before God . Like David , I ask ‘ Should I go Up , Lord ?’ I am constantly asking for His direction . I guess that is a manner of praying without ceasing . It ’ s that heart to heart conversation that happens even without any forced effort . It ’ s that subconscious connection that keeps my spirit conscious and my mind conscientious at the same time .

Dr . Arlene Rose on Hand ling Difficult Relationships
Are you trying to force a fellow human being to change ? It is only God who can change the heart of others . It may be time to open your own heart and accept that which cannot change . Seek counsel to find out if there are things you can do to make your relationship with the other person better , especially if it is a family member or your child . Failing that it may be time to take a step back and allow your heart to release responsibility for that person over to God , who is ultimately responsible . Just this single shift in mindset can be very liberating .

Samantha Gooden on Insecurity And Beauty
I recently cut my hair and the way I grew up “ a woman ’ s hair is her beauty ” so cutting my hair to centimeters from my scalp was a scary process for me . It was an act of necessity but in that moment , I started to think about my beauty and get concerned about the shape of my face and whether people would want to relate to me with no hair . The size and darkness of my beady eyes , the shape of my nose and the color of my skin came into question . References of beauty that I didn ’ t think of had come to the surface . So to overcome it , I reached out to some of my friends who had done something similar and asked them some of the hard questions . I asked them what motivated them to make the move , how they felt about it and I shared my fears with them . These supportive women from around the world walked me through it and were the first ones to see what I looked like with no hair when I made the transition .
