You Are Stronger Than You Think
In spite of the new information coming at us from every direction, the one thing we can be sure of is change. For some of us, our ability to adapt is commendable and it is this superpower that we tend to draw on the most during turbulent times…. but what about everyone else, will this make them weaker? No, it doesn’t. It would be wrong and disrespectful for me to call anyone weak and advise them to ‘just get over it’ during this season. We are not just dealing with change we are also dealing with a lot of unknown elements. Try to understand that when everything around you changes,…
Chicken & Toilet Paper: An Important Message To All Of Our UnCaged Phoenix Readers
How are you doing? No, this is not me trying to be polite, this is me genuinely asking and caring about how you are doing. I wanted to take some time out to check up on you and make sure that everything is okay. I know it has been a long minute since we spoke [or since I have posted anything]. Nonetheless, I wanted to reach out to all of you. It doesn’t take an empath to know that right now, people are struggling with fear and anxiety. No matter what part of the world you live in, you would have either heard of or been personally affected by the…
Apple Core
If you have been on my Facebook page lately, you may have seen when I posted: “You so busy chatting and judging Eve, when you still have a couple of apple cores caught in your throat.” Now this post came from a place of frustration, but it is still true. People…people…it is 2019 and we must-by now-know better.
My God, I want a Prenup!
I found myself asking God for another prenuptial agreement. And no, prenups are not just for people contemplating marriage. They also can be considered a legal bond and, in my case, one between God and I prior to entering into a contract with each other [at least that is the way my mind defines it, and who am I to argue with my mind]. Now before you get all judgy and tell me how it is ridiculous to ask God to sign a prenup, do know that I think it is more ridiculous to ask an imperfect human to sign a contract to be perfect.
God Does Not Give Us Obstacles, He Gives Us Tools
GOD God does not get bored in heaven and is not going to take out a jar of battles and obstacles to place in your path. Life is not a board game and God is not rolling a pair of dice beneath the clouds and shouting ‘snake eyes’ on heartbreak or ‘easy eight’ on personal attacks.
Episode Two: Forget About The Draw – We Play To Win
This podcast is for everyone who has allowed themselves in their past to settle for average…who waited for someone else to give them permission to live. Today's podcast removes all of the formality and we come to face with reality. The time has come for us to know that we were not created to simply survive….we were not created to be average…
Lessons from Wakanda
February is now over, and I hope that by now most of you would have already gone out to watch the Black Panther movie [at least once]. Today, I am going to take a little moment to talk about it. Although I could use countless posts to discuss my love for the movie or spend hours debating the movie, the movement and what it means for everyone, there are countless bloggers who have already spoken about those aspects of the Black Panther and, I think, did it justice. If you want to get in-depth analysis and critique of the actors, the soundtrack, colors, setting, or the “thirst” [yes, I have…
Three Year Blog Anniversary: The Journey has just Begun
Today marks Three years since the birth of UnCaged Phoenix. If you had asked me prior to three years ago if I could have imagined that this is what I would be doing, trust me the answer would have been No!!!! Nonetheless Uncaged Phoenix has developed into an inspirational hub where people can feel free to read about topics that are normally kept hidden under the family kitchen floor and away from the neighbors. It covers the topics that drive employees into the office bathroom with anxiety when they feel alone and powerless. It delves into the doubt and anxiety of being an entrepreneur or going back to school and…
