One thing that completely shifted my confidence was when I stopped comparing myself and my gift. No one can do what I do the way I do it and vice versa. Learn how to shine YOUR light in YOUR special way. I promise It’ll bless you.

Started showing my classes The Wiz this week and maybe this is why I felt inspired to do so. Diva weeeeeek 😌✨

[Imani @youdoingtoomuch]

Guys it’s Diana Ross birthday. And tomorrow is Mariah’s. Yesterday was Aretha’s and two days before was Chaka Khan. Diva week!

[Teen👩🏽‍🦰 @ShantinaLynet]

Comparison is an observer’s game. Not a player’s.

[Teen👩🏽‍🦰 @ShantinaLynet]

These type of conversations always being had by everyone other than practicing vocalists are always baffling to me

[Garco @garcoxgang]

Y'all are calling Summer Walker a vocalist and that's why we can't have constructive discussions about R&B.

[Teen👩🏽‍🦰 @ShantinaLynet]

Mostly because true vocalists understand that singing is a spectrum. All of the vocal tricks yall think makes someone a true vocalist (or the inverse) IS ACTUALLY what makes a vocalist- AND MORE. It’s all encompassing.

[Sir T Shiimi @Incredible_Tau]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but GET UP. Ask God to breathe His spirit back into you. You've been lying dormant for far too long. Ask Him to restore your creativity, your purpose, your joy, your love, your health, and your sound mind. You've slept long enough in depression, anxiety, overthinking, bitterness, loneliness, grief, brokenness, financial stress, abandonment wounds, relationship trauma, and destructive habits. Today is the last day. GET UP! Get up for your future self. Get up for your kids. Get up for the dreams God placed inside you. Get up and take your life back.

I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this:

90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes.

That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up.

Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them.

We tell our kids:

“If you get lost, come find me.”

It sounds logical. It sounds empowering.

It’s WRONG!

The Mistake Most Lost Children Make:

When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically:

They panic.
They wander.
They try to find you.

Every step makes them harder to locate.

From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos.

Parents retrace their steps.
Security scans zones.
Staff lock down areas.

Search works best when movement stops.

When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered.

Stillness increases probability.

Movement expands the problem.

The first lesson is not “go find me.”

It’s this:

Stop. Stay. Yell.

Why Stillness Wins:

Think like a search team.

If a child stays put:

Parents can retrace steps.
Security can scan systematically.
Helpers converge to one fixed location.
The search radius remains small.
If a child keeps moving:

The search area expands.
Adults pass each other.
Missed connections multiply.
Minutes stretch into hours.
Stillness keeps the math on your side.

Teach Them Who to Approach:

The second mistake we make as parents?

We say, “Find an adult.”

Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter.

Teach them to look for, if at all possible:

A mother with children.

Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly.

It’s a clear, concrete instruction.

Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.”

They process visuals.

“Find a mom with kids” is visual.

A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known:

We often assume phones solve everything.

They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition.

But you must train it.

Practice it like a song.

Sing it in the car.
Chant it at bedtime.
Turn it into rhythm.

Repetition becomes recall.

In an emergency, recall matters more than theory.

The Code Word Rule:

One more layer of protection.

Choose a private family code word.

Something only your household knows.

If someone approaches and says:

“Your mom sent me.”

Your child asks:

“What’s the code word?”

No word.
No go.

This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly.

It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character.

Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck!

We don’t get safer by hoping.

We get safer by practicing.

Teach:

• Phone number
• Code word
• Stop, stay, yell
• Find a mom with kids

Multiple skills.
Simple instructions.
Clear visuals.

Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation.

Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts.

And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like.

That’s real protection.

Suicide

Today, let me tell you a crucial observation I've been researching about suicide

If you have ever, at the slightest period in your life, thought of committing suicide at some particular lowest periods of your life, then you should quickly start putting a mental health system in place in your life.

Suicide would first flash through your mind in the quickest of ways.

It will first come as that quick option, to which you will dismiss it immediately.

Now, you will dismiss the thought faster, because you believe your situation isn't worth "considering the option of suicide"
.
.

Until that period where everything crumbles.

Nothing works

Everyone leaves

Financial life down

Love down

Meaning and purpose down.
.
.

That's when suicide will flash through your mind again, and this time, based on the current phase you are in, your mind would start factoring it as a possible option.

And in this phase, you might have already isolated yourself away from people around you.

So as you are deliberating the option of suicide, you are doing so in extreme isolation and inside thinking.

Giving yourself reasons why that option might be the best

And unfortunately, no one is around to give second opinions.

So each passing day, the option of suicide becomes more grounded as the best choice.
.
.
Now, at this phrase, you will enter a state of aggressively justification.

To take your own life, isn't an easy thing.

Your brain naturally protects you from harm.

So for you to now consciously harm yourself, it means you would have to sit your brain down and lecture it on why suicide is best for both of you.

By aggressively justifying the act.
.
.
For instance,

You brain would say "But people care about you"

You would say "No one has checked up on me for the past 24 days"

Your brain would say "But your work pays you well and you can buy what you want"

You would say "I am not fulfilled doing the job anyways. I'm not happy in the workplace"

Your brain would counter again and say "But your children love you so much"

You would say "My mother would take care of them, when I leave"
.
.
.

So your brain now works with that lecture, drops all it's coping mechanisms and defence strategies, and enters a state of compliance.
.
.
.

At this stage, the person is a walking dead.

They have made up their mind and it's now a matter of when.

It takes a very strong pull to remove them from this state. A very strong consideration.
.
.
.
The best stage to help out is the stage where they are still lecturing their brain.

When they are still trying to justify the act.

That's the best time to influence their thoughts and make them change their mind.
.
.
.
Now, if you are at a stage or you've been at that stage of lecturing your brain on why suicide might be an option, then you really need to see a mental health professional.

I will drop some official suicide prevention phone numbers of various countries below.

They will work with you detailedly and put you through a proper mental health procedure.
.
.
They would have a more detailed procedure than what I would give you, if you come to me.
