Why are you still here?
Why are you still here?
Never in my life will I forget this important question. A question that even if you see it like that, and follow your path, you are not going to give it the meaning or the power that it has so much unless you stop, think and analyze it. He asked me that question a little over a year ago, Janitza, why are you still here? I stood up, looked him in the face and answered the question. I gave him a lot of reasons why I was still there. Now, if I tell you, I did not follow my course. I sat in silence and began to answer the question in detail to myself. What he doesn’t know is that day he changed my life. I know he didn’t want to lose me. I know that he knew that I had much more potential than to be enduring things that really did not suit me to endure. From that day on I put my pants on well and said to myself, I deserve more. When it was time to leave he told me, Janitza I envy you, I would like to have my pants on well so that I can do the things you do. Take the risks that you take. And my answer was, “you can do it too”. “The only difference between us is that you don’t want what you dream as much as I want what I dream.” “Dare and you will see.”
The man left me with his mouth open. He texted me at 12:30 am at midnight the other day to ask me for an opinion on something about his business and I gave it to him. He constantly asks me for my opinions. Out of nowhere he texts me with crazy things about him, rather ideas. We are still very good friends. I admire him a lot for other things that I don’t have the pants to do and he thinks I have them on for everything. Haha! I found out that he is now working on his third business. What joy it gave me! I’m crazy to congratulate him in person and let him know that now the one who envies him is me. Haha. Now he’s the one with his pants on. I imagine that his time came like mine came a year ago. Many times I asked him why are you still here? But the question didn’t have the same effect on him as when he asked it to me.
Now I ask you: Fill in your blanks with this question; Why are you still here? Either in an unloved relationship. In an unwanted career, in a toxic friendship, in a place you don’t want to live, in an economic situation that you want to get out of. Ask that question. Meditate and act. And you will see that in a year you will be wondering why I did not ask myself that question before.
Good day.

Raise your children that don’t have to recover from their childhood
1.Be authentic – Authenticity is essential for connecting with today’s children.
- Connect with your child individually – Good connection is a process which takes time, don’t try to rush it. Seek to create an environment of trust as you connect. Seek first to understand them rather than trying to get them to understand you.
- Have Fun – Don’t be afraid to be kid-like with them especially if they are younger.
- Demonstrate you care – Maintain a humble servant’s heart with empathy. Let your kids know you value them, their time and their ideas all while demonstrating genuine unconditional love. Keeping this in mind will prevent you from being judgmental, condescending or critical while interacting with them.
- Be Teachable – Start where you are and always learn and grow. Be open and willing to learn from them. Let them know we need them, their development and contributions to make the world better.
- Keep it Simple – Don’t try to share everything.
- Be willing to fail and share your failures – Failure is part of the growing process. Take a risk and laugh at yourself. Do something even if it is not perfect. Even if you mess up in front of them either they will not know or if they do notice laugh at yourself and you will earn their respect.
- Get out of your comfort zone – We didn’t learn to walk in a day, do it now and see what happens. Remember: we are all works in progress.
- Be patient – Both your children and ourselves are a works in process. Be patient with the growth process and when working with them be patient with them.
- Invest time in learning the issues they face and how to serve them.
Our children are our future ❤

I believe it was sometime in November or early December of last year when I had my yearly mammogram. I really can’t remember the exact date but what I can’t forget is the phone call that followed that appointment. Since I have been getting my mammograms in my early thirties I have never had a phone call. I always get my results in the mail.
That day was different. They asked me to comeback for another appointment to have another mammogram done. You probably now by now my anxiety started to kick in, but being a person of faith wasn’t as bad as I thought I would react. You should never let your nerves take over. I just kept praying and kept focusing on what they said, they needed to do another mammogram to get a better view of my breasts, right? No need to get too excited.
I make it to my appointment and my mammogram gets completed. The nurse, was so sweet, she asked me to step outside and wait for the doctor to take a look before she lets me go. She comes back to let me know after few minutes that the doctor is running behind and that it may take a little longer than expected that she is going to transfer me to another room so she can continue on with her patients. Haha! I laughed because I’m thinking, I have been in this field for a long time and I know something here is not good, however this nurse is doing such a great job trying to ease my mind but unfortunately it wasn’t working. I asked how long it may be and she said 15 to 20 minutes. Those 15 to 20 mins became hours to me. I slowly started to cry. The only thing I could think of was my precious daughter. I really started questioning God. Why would he be so gracious and send me my baby if I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy her? At that point I wish you would’ve been in my mind. I completely mapped out how I wanted to spend my days with her if I had cancer. Then I said to myself, wait a minute Janitza what are you going to do if thats not the case? Since that day I decided to plan how I wanted to spend my time purposely with her and my loved ones because life is so precious and we can’t start letting life happen to us, we have to intentionally live our lives in a meaningful way.
Nothing was found in my breasts. Everything came negative, it was just small cyst and we have nothing to worry about. We tend to wait to make plans when obstacles and adversity knock on our doors instead of being proactive. I hope you can join me in living a meaningful life with your loved ones and be intentional about how you want to spend the rest of your days and make it happen.
My intentions were to have some pictures taken of the two of us and she ended up taking pictures of me. She had a great time and I had a great time watching her enjoy her photo session.

Forgive Yourself. Perhaps the hardest thing for us to do is forgive ourselves. Nobody is perfect and each of us makes mistakes. Accept that and resolve today to forgive yourself for past mistakes and quit carrying them as emotional baggage.
Be sure to also record the lessons you can learn from your mistakes, and write down how you can apply those lessons moving forward.
You will feel a sense of peace as you let go of pain and anger. Do it today. Do not wait any longer. Let go of your pain and anger. You will be so happy you did, Life is too short to be holding grudges. Enjoy your life to the fullest and forgive yourself today!
God Bless
