What You Give

What you give is important. Think about it.

Our relationships in life are important. So what do you give to them? To yourself? To God? To your loved ones?

What are you giving to your world?

Throughout many of my articles, I have discussed the Law of Attraction. If you are not familiar, the Law of Attraction basically is the belief of practicing positive thinking, living, ideas, and circumstances, with the expectation that they will manifest positive experiences in your life.

While growing in my faith, the Law of Attraction comes up more frequently in my day to day life. The times where I feel I am not my best are typically when I seem to be more aggressive, sad, and defensive.

In those moments, others respond with the same energy I am giving to the situation without really knowing they are affecting me.

Giving kindness to others is often done in a way different from the way I like to receive kindness. What I'm also learning is that people speak differently, they move differently. What I need is not what someone else needs.

Hence, self-awareness becomes a huge part of the Law of Attraction or me as sometimes in the past, I had not realized my reactive emotions were attracting undesirable circumstances to me.

It is a continuing process but I am becoming more aware of what I am giving to the world around me and what it's giving back.

I actively seek to provide an enriching, positive, loving, and passionate circle around me because to give to others challenges me to change your habits.

For example, not everyone will think you want support if you don't show support to others.

It's really simple because when you think about certain things you don't like to do, are they present in your life?

Probably not.

I don't like for people to disrespect me or people I care about. Therefore I extend respect to others always.

What you give says a lot about what you embody as an individual. It is in those simple acts of kindness that you start to impact your world and notice the things that changing and the circumstances you begin to attract.

"Be a mirror of everything you seek to give because what you give out will return" - Charleá Fields.

What you give is important. Think about it.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
