Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, I am the youngest of eight siblings. My father has passed away, but my parents, both everyday people and U.S. Army veterans, instilled strong values in me. I graduated from Jean Ribault Senior High School and went on to earn my bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in professional writing, graduating cum laude from Grand Canyon University. Currently, I am an Avon independent sales ambassador. I am a Christian, a proud Florida girl, and an encourager. As a blogger, sports fan, foodie, disabled woman, word search enthusiast, ambivert, and everyday woman, I embrace my multifaceted identity. I live in Jacksonville with my mom, cherishing my roots and the vibrant community that shapes me.

Life as we know it, with all its ups and downs, will soon be over. We all will give an accounting to God of how we have lived.

Speak Kind Words Saturday

Robin Sykes

We all seen to completely forget that what we say has saw has terrific influence on everyone around us. The Spoken word is extremely powerful. Literally bite your tongue if necessary. Once blurted out, you cannot take your words back. Watch what you say. Try not to cure and use foul language. And speak kind words to others.

Teach your children to speak kindly towards others by example.

Be aware of not only what you say but how you say it.

Try not to curse and use foul language.

Do not gossip.

Forgive your Foe Friday

Robin Sykes

Try to find enough forgiveness in your heart to alleviate the anger, confusion or hatred you may be feeling towards other people or even towards yourself. Anger is dangerous and lead us to make foolish mistakes. We have seen too many crimes committed by the lack of control of anger. Give it your best effort to try and forgive. For your sake, and for the sake of others. We really must break free of holding grudges. They say that holding a grudge against someone is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Everytime we truly forgive, we dissipate anger’s power and move closer to our better selves. So try your best to forgive, try taking a small step toward that goal. And take another step tomorrow. And then another, and another. Time will you and heal your wounds if you let it. Seek quite time and delve within your heart to see where you are wounded by anger and resentment. By bringing it out and facing it down you can burn away all bitterness with the fire of your love Love is much stronger than hate.

Forgive yourself.

Learn to forgive and don’t hold a grudge.

Try looking into insightful looks on the topic of forgiving.

Much Love and Many Blessings
