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…
Climbing Into Your Future
I have pondered and pondered on what I would write about for 2018’s first blog post. I considered writing something real deep, bearing in mind all of the highs and lows of 2017. I considered something upbeat as a compass to where I would like 2018 to follow. Guess what? No matter how much I tried, the words in my head refused to behave and decided to come out the way they wanted to — with no real considerations to my feelings or my game plan. Life has been like that… it does what it wants when it wants and how it wants.
Report Cards
I don’t think it is right for me or anyone to make the decision on if someone’s past performance in one area of their life should be a decisive and defining factor when it comes to determining their future. Who are we to say that their past results may not have been based on motivational factors and surroundings
