Life lately..
Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I wrote the last piece, but here I am with another one. I know the title may seem a bit alarming, but I can assure you that all is well; this is just part of the journey. With COVID-19, monkeypox, and everything else, life lately has been quite a roller coaster. I came to the point where I found myself not working on the vision because I was too busy trying to put life together in the way that I thought would work best. And that is some

Breaking Systems
Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts delivered a sermon that truly blessed me and opened my eyes to some deep truths. If you want to check out the sermon, the link will be listed at the bottom of the page. I'm no stranger to creating a system to better protect myself. I created it when my heart was broken in the past, I have created that system in friendships, and the list goes on. But listening to the sermon made me think of the negative effects of creating that system. The system was

Show up as Her or Him
Earlier this week, my best friend Sophia celebrated her birthday and also held a women's conference called "The Voice Behind the Mask" in Dallas, TX. I left the event with a lot of thoughts and ways I wanted to better change my life. The vision behind the event was, of course, to empower women, but also to get them to take off the masks and stop hiding their true selves. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have moments when I wear a mask in order to shy away from my potentia

Miracles
There’s a song by Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music called “Million Little Miracles,” and the lyrics to that song speak to the existence that the blessings of God are immeasurable. And in this season of my life, this song is a reminder that God’s miracles in my life are beyond my wildest dreams. For those who know me and my story, you would understand my choice of words when I say, “I am blessed beyond my imagination.” I remember being 17 years old and losing my father,

The Making Of Softlee Spoken
My first attempt at blogging was in 2018. My best friend and I were at school studying on a Saturday afternoon/evening, and I created a whole site and posted my very first piece titled “I Love You but I Gotta Let You Go.” My blog name back then was “The Gift Kronicles.” Due to life’s unfortunate circumstances, that piece became my very first and last post. But writing for me did not start in 2018. My very first diary was gifted to me by my older brother Robens, and that littl

God's grace
With so much happening these days, it can often feel like things in life are becoming a bit too overwhelming. I think this is an area we can all relate to in some shape or form. We sometimes set these goals for ourselves with a specific timeframe, and sometimes things don’t always go as planned. But how do we deal with that? I don't know about you guys, but apart from the Bible, there are no other books on life and how to handle situations, let alone what, when, or how situat
