Thought of The Day 6.16.21: If Black Lives Matter TOO
What I’m about to share may ruffle some feathers. It may cause some people to become defensive or offensive. That happens when truth is revealed, shared, and analyzed. Just make sure you don’t come at me with daggers. You will only cut yourself. Don’t come at me with punches. You will only hit yourself. If…

What We Learn From Those Who Harm Us
Today, as I was reflecting over a 10-year-old message I had written for my Breaking Bread blog, I started to look inward and examine how I’ve grown in some areas and still struggle in other areas. The post is on forgiveness and I can admit that I struggle with forgiving myself and others for various…

Heal Yourself and Stop Hiding Behind The Rebound
So I have a confession, of sorts, well… not really, because I already wrote about this over the years. But let me make it more pointed today. In the past I made it a habit of quickly rebounding from one old relationship into a new one. I convinced myself that the old guy was no…

Why We Struggle
Who are you, defined solely by you and your Creator? Then be you. Be that person. Stop trying to conform, be accepted, and apologize for blurring someone else’s lines, visions, boxes, categories, expectations, and labels. Too many people are miserable because they’re trying to be something and someone they aren’t. They’re trying to live someone…

Your Glass is Refillable, Stop Trying to Get a New One
Your mental state of lack will always keep you in a deficit. That’s why the grass-is-greener fiasco keeps you in a state of lack. We want a microwave solution to an oven-baked situation. That’s a problem we face each day and we don’t realize that the solution is to get out of our own way.

We Are Living in a Grapes of Wrath Era
What is amazing is that John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath in 1939 and it covered the era of the Dust Bowl, yet 81 years later I can see scenes of that past displayed in painful images and news reports today. If you don’t know 1930s US history, then let me give you a…

Thought of the Day: Mental Enslavement
The mind of a fool… Does not trust what he can’t see…But trusts what he can see, even if it’s a LIE! You claim you want freedom yet you choose your enslavement. Stretch your mind. You are only using a fraction of its capabilities. ~Natasha Copyright 2020. Natasha L. Foreman. All Rights Reserved.

SuperBowl Lessons
If you didn’t watch the Superbowl game yesterday between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, then you missed an intense and well fought game. Neither team playing was one of my teams, but I was crossing my fingers for the Chiefs. Yeah, my love for the Cowboys and Raiders just won’t let…

Thought of the Day 1.7.20
As I sit here, some things come to mind… Many of us live through other people’s experiences. We dislike and fear what someone else dislikes and fears. We ourselves haven’t experienced what they did, yet we embrace the feelings and beliefs as though they are our own. Someone else was harmed by another person, so…

Watch Until You Get The Lessons. Then Share. Connect. Repeat.
I ran across this video, moments ago, and I felt compelled to share. It’s a conversation with centurions who have lived to be older than age 100. They share their experiences, lessons, and wisdom. A viewer commented (in the comments section below the video) that so many people are obsessed with listening to young celebrities,…

Never Stop Living Your Dream
Earlier this morning my mom shared these five simple words that form a very powerful message: Never Stop Living Your Dream! Mom said she heard the words in a Gladys Knight song and she thought they would help to serve through my blog. I wasn’t sure which blog she meant, so I figured that I…

Thought of the Day: Faith versus Fear
This morning I shared a message on my other blog #BreakingBreadWithNatasha I decided to share here the reflection I had written there. I’ve edited it to focus solely on the thoughts and declarations about faith and fear. I hope it resonates with someone, maybe you. I hope it has the level of stickability to help…

Heart Attacks Aren’t Here to Play With You
I saw this and had to share. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention It hits extremely close to home for me. I’ve had at least 4 family members pass away from heart attacks, and a few others who were thankfully rushed to the ER in the nick of time. Here’s the link to the…
