Saturday Share: Happy Saturday Y’all. Today I chose yard work as my workout. I have some areas that needed reseeding due to fire debris and low areas. Before I went to sleep last night I put it on my mental to do list. I set a mental alarm for 7:00. I was hesitant but I got to work about 8:00am. I told myself I would work until noon and then the balance of the day was me time. I finished what I set out to accomplish with time to spare. I have learned a valuable lesson in life, sometimes you just have to trust God and yourself and get it done. I had no success getting anyone to do it so I figured okay God it’s on me. I pay closer attention to everything because I never know when I might need to do it myself. Would I have preferred to have a husband to do this while I prepared him a fabulous meal, Of Course ! But that was not happening 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t know how successful I will be getting the grass to grow but I was successful in getting the seeds down. I was amazed that I was able to till the soil with a hand tool almost effortlessly. I told myself if I mess it up or it doesn’t grow, I’ll just keep trying until it does. Moral of my story is, Don’t Be Afraid To Try. I hope your Saturday is amazingly beautiful. 💋❤️🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 Health is Wealth #ceejayrush #seejayrush #single #celibatelife #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #selfcare #selflove #inspirationalspeaker #healthiswealth
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Happy Friday Y’all. Going to the chiropractor is part of my self care. A couple of years I was in the bed for two weeks due to sciatica. I had not had an issue with my back for over 40 years. I was under enormous stress and not taking care of myself. My sister literally had to take me to the hospital, primary care, physical therapy and the chiropractor in a wheelchair. To this day I believe if it had not been for Dr. Diata/Spine Doctors of Michigan I would still be having serious issues with my back. Like most people I improved and stopped going. About a year later I could feel the problem trying to return. I quickly returned to Dr. Diata/Spine Doctors of Michigan and went weekly until I was out of pain. I learned a valuable lesson, I needed to continue the care as a part of my health and fitness. I reduced the visits to biweekly and now I go monthly for maintenance. For me this is what self care and self love looks like. I was sharing with the doc about my health is wealth journey and he shared he has ordered some shirts for his business with his logo on the front and Health is Wealth on the back. I am so glad God placed me where I needed to be and confirmed it🙏🏾. I recommend Dr. Diata/Spine Doctors of Michigan to anyone have joint/bone issues. Yep I’m glowing it’s not just the sun but it’s the Son. This spiritual journey is 🔥🔥🔥 #ceejayrush #seejayrush #single #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #inspirationalspeaker #celibatelife #alopecia #selflove #selfcare #
Good Morning Y’all. I rode for endurance again today. I did better than yesterday while still at 30 minutes. I’m not as winded, honestly I felt I could have done 15 additional minutes. I really got my heart rate up but I keep a close eye on it. Remember do what you can to achieve what you want/need. “The race is not given to the swift or the strong but to them who endure to the end. Run your own race to get to your finish line🙏🏾 Well, Happy Thursday. ❤️ #ceejayrush #seejayrush #healthy #single #healthymind #inspirationalspeaker #celibatelife #alopecia #selflove #selfcare
Good Sunday morning y’all. I just finished my health is wealth walk. It’s wet and rainy outside but it’s warm and sunny in my heart.

Happy Saturday Y’all. I’m being the bold, beautiful, black queen I was created to be. I finally got my nose pierced. It was a 64th birthday gift to myself.

Setting goals: Today I decided to push past the 30 min mark. In the past I always pushed myself to ride 45-60 mins. Today I hit 45 mins. In life we have to challenge ourselves if we want to grow. You can accept what is and dream about what you want or you can set a goal to turn that dream into a reality. Happy Monday Y’all. This Gurl Is On 🔥 🔥🔥 #ceejayrush #seejayrush #celibatelife #selflove #selfcare #healthmind #healthybody #healthyspirit #inspirationalspeaker

Monday Moment: Love is a choice. I use to be a believer that you could fall in love but now I believe we choose to love. If you have been in relationships with lying , cheating, low down SORRY(I digress)😄with someone who did not Respect or Deserve your love don’t allow it to make you bitter, don’t waste the pain, learn from it. Love is powerful. Look at what the love of God for us did. He gave His only begotten Son to become sin that we may have eternal life. If you are in a relationship with someone or contemplating being in one and you constantly think about how to change the person, you might be in the wrong relationship. If you cannot accept someone just as they are without trying to change them, keep moving. This is not saying people don’t change but the change should be because they realize the need for change not because you pressure them. If you are constantly making excuses for them, again, this might not be the person for you. If you can’t have the same love in public as you have in private, keep moving, refuse to be a secret. Refuse to be a friend with benefits. Refuse everything and anything that is less than you are worth and want from that person. Stop being afraid to say what you will and will not tolerate. Your love is priceless be wise with it. Every individual has the right to be who they are as long as it does not bring harm to others. Every man is not good for every woman and every woman is not good for every man. Stop kissing the frog you will only end up with worts and if you are the frog stop kissing people and giving them worts. #seejayrush #ceejayrush #loveyourself #selflove #selfcare #
Sunday Share: Pastor shared a message that caused me to think about love and relationships. Peter loved Jesus but he denied him because he was afraid of what would happen if he admitted knowing Jesus. After the resurrection Peter and Jesus meet again. Jesus does not condemn Peter but calls him to feed His sheep. Jesus was not stuck on what happened in the past and Peter’s denial of Him. Jesus knew Peter’s heart. Jesus and Peter spent time together before the Savior’s crucifixion. Peter sat at his feet and learned, fished for physical food as well as souls with Jesus. Jesus asked Peter do you love me but I believe Jesus knew the answer because he knew Peter’s heart. The answer to the question was for Peter to confirm within himself the love he felt for Jesus. The heart reveals the truth about a person. There are times when our actions don’t reveal the truth of our hearts. Sometimes it takes time for the heart and actions to align as with Peter. Peter went on to become a bold advocate for Jesus. He no longer placed his life above the call of Christ but knew without a doubt the life he laid down spiritually, he would one day lay down physically because of his beliefs. Peter’s relationship with Jesus taught him who Jesus was and developed a great love for Him and the ministry. To truly love someone a relationship must be developed and through that relationship you will know their heart which is the core of all our beliefs. Jesus loved us so much, even in the sinful state that we were in He chose to be a living sacrifice so we could be given the privilege of having a loving relationship with our Father(God). Relationship, Relationship, Relationship🙌🏾🙏🏾 #ceejayrush #seejayrush #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #celibatelife #inspirationalspeaker #selflove #selfcare #womanpreacher
The elders use to say I just want to thank God for being clothed in my right mind and a reasonable portion of my health and strength. That’s how I feel today. Errands and exercise for today are complete. I could have never did anything today if I was not clothed in my right mind with a reasonable portion of my health and strength. I hope y’all enjoy your Saturday. #ceejayrush #seejayrush #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #selfcare #selflove #celibatelife #inspirationalspeaker
I have neglected exercising for various reasons. Today I did a thing. I went to the mall and walked with the other seniors. I have given myself an option of walking or riding my stationary bike, no excuses. Health is wealth and I intend to be wealthy in every aspect of my life. I can get my eyebrows done also because yes I’m about self care or a little vain😂 #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #ceejayrush #seejayrush #healthiswealth #selfcare
Good night y’all. May God protect us and give us sweet rest as He reveals secrets of prosperity and witty inventions in our dreams.

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. I’m so excited for a new month and the anticipation of growth and changes that will occur. I can hear the birds singing outside my window and that is always my indication that Spring has sprung. Each day is a new day to live, to love, to learn and to enjoy life to the fullest. I’m amazed at how God has grown me and perfected those things concerning me. The Lord is my shepherd, I have no lack.❤️ New American Standard Bible The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your faithfulness, LORD, is everlasting; Do not abandon the works of Your hands. #ceejayrush #seejayrush #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #inspirationalspeaker #motivationalspeaker #SelfCare

Stop trying to fix what you didn't break. There are too many missing pieces and you don't have the blueprints. We take ownership of so many problems that do not belong to us. For whatever reason we feel responsible for fixing things that we cannot and the pressure only causes us stress, frustration, headaches, high bloodpressure, obesity and depression just to name a few. Don't walk but run to the nearest exit and set yourself free. I hope this helps someone because it sure helped me. Happy Friday. #inspirationalspeaker #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit #selflove #selfcare #ceejayrush #seejayrush #socialworker

I captioned this piece, “Save Yourself”. In life we may at times find ourselves drifting out to the middle of nowhere. Our boat is slowly sinking because it is weighted down with more than it was meant to carry. Our boat is full of toxic items that we continue to assign value to but they no longer contribute value to our lives. It’s time to save yourself! Throw it overboard. Let’s be honest, some of the most toxic relationships we experience are with family. We are conditioned to believe that you don’t turn your back on your family no matter what. You should always help and find a solution to their problems no matter how destructive and devastating it is to yourself. You have known for years that this toxin in your life needs to be removed but your loyalty to familiar relationships holds you captive to your own demise. We have to learn how to manage our ships(lives) void of guilt and shame. Others may talk because you ended your marriage, others may talk because you no longer visit your parents, others may talk because you refuse to commit your senior years to raising your grandchildren. Others may talk because you evicted your child or practice healthy boundaries. Others may talk because you cannot or will not care for your elderly parents. Others may talk because you are no longer the financial institution for the family or the family shelter. For some the aforementioned has kept you enslaved to a job you hate and makes you ill just thinking about going to work but it pays good money that you need to support toxic relationships. Others may talk because you walked away from the family church full of religion and into the loving arms of God who wants to teach you about a real relationship with Him. Only you know why a situation or relationship is toxic. Whatever it is, if it is slowly causing your boat to sink while poisoning you at the same time, Throw IT OVERBOARD and and SAVE YOURSELF. #seejayrush #ceejayrush #selflove #selfcare #healthymind #healthybody #healthyspirit
In 2017 I made an important decision to do whatever I needed to do to be healthy. I decided I wanted to be healthy enough to enjoy time with my loved ones. It’s been a tough journey but I don’t regret one step along the way. I love my physical, mental and spiritual upgrades. God promised He would never leave me nor forsake me and He has kept his promise. It’s been worth the struggle. Today is a good day for you to decide to do what you need to do for you. #seejayrush, #Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Spirit.💋💋💋💋
Wednesday Wisdom: Luke 14:28 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? “ When considering the cost of an item it involves more than the ability to purchase an item. Cost also involves the ability to maintain the purchased item. Ask yourself what you have purchased in your life that you truly cannot afford or cannot maintain. Is it a car? Maybe it’s a relationship. Is it your job? Is it a title, status or position? Only you know the answer to the question. What is draining your account of it’s peace, love, joy, comfort, finances, respect, reputation and/or quality of life. Lay-away has all but become obsolete but it was a great system. You had the opportunity to pay on an item until it was paid off and you owned it. If at some point you no longer wanted the item you stopped paying on it and got most of your money back minus a small fee. Sometimes we need to think deeper about what it is we think we want. We live in an instantaneous society that allows us to get things quick, fast and in a hurry. We have grown impatient with patience. Allow yourself time in a new relationship to know if you can afford the marriage you desire. Allow yourself time in the company to learn if it is worth your time, skills and education before growing impatient because you did not get the promotion. Whatever you are seeking after take the time to evaluate the cost. You can reduce waste by counting up the cost. Remember before your next purchase in life ask yourself: CAN YOU AFFORD IT?

Monday Moment: Tonight I took some time and thought about all I have been through in my life. My mama would often say”You a strong women.” You see, I really am not but I serve a strong God. He has given me grace, mercy and strength when I counted myself out. I am at a place in my life that amazes me in some aspects but continues to challenge and grow me also. My point to all who are reading this is, at times you may be struggling to stay in the race but DON’T YOU DARE QUIT!!!!! Take each day one at a time. Keep getting up. Keep pressing forward. Most of all KEEP THE FAITH. God is a promise keeper. I’m a living witness full of testimonies. I know you feel like you are always making mistakes and messing up but so did I, more times than I can count but guess what. I’m right where I’m supposed to be because God knows this black girl’s life from the end to the beginning. Now thank God for another day and close your eyes and go to sleep. Command your mind to be still in the Name of Jesus. God has new mercies waiting for you in the morning. Good night Y’all 💋💋💋 #healthymindset #healthymonday #healthyspirit #womenpreachers #blogger #singlegirl #singlemoms #blacksocialworkers #teenmom # #growthmindset #seejayrush #selflovefirst

IT’S YOUR JOURNEY: As I was going about my day, I just begin to think about how good God is to me. As I look back over my life and see where he has taken me from and where he is taking me to I am grateful. Things have not always been easy but God has given me the strength to endure and persevere. God keeps revealing to me what's important and what is not. Love with your whole heart, don't be afraid to live, don't concern yourself with what your critics say. Stop living in your past and allowing others to hold you captive there. Life is short. LIVE, LOVE, and LAUGH OUT LOUD. Most of all GOD loves us, in your present state, as you are at this very moment. Let that love keep you moving and growing. Remember if something in your life has no value and/or purpose it may be trash. Trash is what we no longer need or want. Get rid of the trash whatever it is. That includes thoughts, PEOPLE, and things. Remember trash crowds out things of value. If you keep questioning why you keep it, Guess what, it’s probably trash. Enjoy this beautiful day full of new mercies that God made just for you. #seejayrush #mentalhealthblogger #soulgrowth #spiritualawakening #spirituality #mentalhealthawareness #womenpreachers #loveyourself #blogger #blacksocialworkers
Decision making can bring growth. You have the opportunity to learn from good or bad decisions. Don’t give your energy to people who question or criticize your decisions in life. Know the difference between someone watering you in love and someone drenching you in criticism. You don’t need their permission to live. #seejayrush #healthymindset #healthymind #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #healthyspirit #soulgrowth #singlemom #growthmindset🌱 #gastricbypass #loveyourself
It’s been a minute since I’ve been to the gym but this morning I kept my promise to myself and got here. My quest to be healthier was my decision and I’m responsible for doing what it takes to achieve that quest. It’s a different feeling when you do something for yourself because YOU see the value in it. Your decision is not derived from others expectations. That’s where I am in life now. My goals and desires are not derived from others expectations. This is about Cecilia. If I fail or if I succeed will be measured by my expectations. I’m finally starting to live my beautiful, blessed life. I’m learning the person I was created to be and loving her to the fullest.

This group of beautiful women are my sister/friends. We came together today to celebrate our baby sister Mai. Mai is moving to another state to complete an internship for her doctorate. I have had the opportunity to watch my sister grow and mature over the years. I’ve watched this queen grown into her crown. The size of the crown never changes, it is we who must grow into the crown that was prepared for us. There were 4 of our sisters missing from the table today. We missed them but they know they always have a seat at the table. Mai is an amazing young lady with an amazing story. She has overcome many obstacles in life and persevered. I’m proud to be her sister and honored to be her friend. Keep growing baby sister, there is still room in your crown to grow. Our sister and God’s gift❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #seejayrush #sistersquad #sisterlocks #healthymindset #healthyspirit #loveyourself
Just want to say Thank You Jesus for my life and your patience when I did not appreciate it or see the value of it.

Every aspect of self care is important. Today I’m seeing the podiatrist about a problem I should have corrected long ago. You only get one house(body) in this life. Take care of it. #seejayrush #healthyspirit #growthmindset #healthybody #blogger #healthymindhealthybody
I’m not reinventing who I am. I am growing into who I was created to be. Psalm 139:14 : I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. As I grow spiritually, I also grow physically and mentally. We are spirit before we ever manifest in the flesh and we continue to be spirit after the body which houses the spirit no longer is alive. The spirit of God reveals to me who I am created to be. To grow I must settle myself, listen and follow directions. #healthyspirit #seejayrush #healthymindhealthybodyhealthyspirit #healthylifestyle #growthmindset #loveyourself #blogger #womenpreachers #soulgrowth #singlemom #healthybody #live #lovemyself
“The race is not won to the swift but to the one who endureth till the end.” If you try to run your race like someone else you will grow weary and give up. Stay in your lane, focus on the finish line and don’t quit. The goal of life’s race is to finish the task. When you finish you win. It may not seem as if you are winning but you are. The only one you are racing against is you. How can you not win? You only lose if you quit. You are winning so keep running. #seejayrush #healthyspirit #mentalhealthawareness #growthmindset #blogger #womenpreachers #gastricsleevesurgery #gastricbypass #healthymindbodyspirit #loveyourself #lmswomen #blacksocialworkers #singlemom #soulgrowth # #mentalhealthblogger
Just like this post, life is filled with distractions and interruptions. If you try to focus on too many things at one time your full attention is given to nothing. Whatever your goal is I want you to set your sights on it totally (Mind, Body and Soul). Do this by finding a focal point. Now put on mental blinders by allowing yourself to only see your goal. Now block out the noise. All distractions are noise. Keep your sights trained in this position. When you look at this post it may take you more than one time to read it. There are distractions that can cause your focus to shift but if you find a point and stay focused it will become less difficult to read the message. If you focus on your goal the path to achieving it becomes clearer.

I rarely have the opportunity to get full body pics. I am still on my weight loss journey. Currently I need to lose at least 40 more pounds. I never dreamed I would see the day when I was looking at only 40. One day my weight loss journey will end because I will meet my destination. My healthy life journey will never end on side side of heaven because I am a work in progress, Mind, Body and Spirit. When I see my Savior and He says, “Well done thy good and faithful servant .” my destiny will be reached. #seejayrush #newlife healthyspirit #healthybody #womenpreachers #gastricsleevesurgery #weightlosstransformation

Thursday Thought: My friend Dr. Stephanneth Adams, who specializes in women’s health has been encouraging women, especially women of color to examine their breasts and get mammograms. She is encouraging women to become familiar with their bodies so they can identify when something is different and address the problem. I support this and encourage women to take time to do breast exams on a regular basis. I as a clinical social worker who specializes in health/mental health. I encourage women to examine their minds. Don’t be afraid to push into those areas that are ignored or untouched. We have hurts, pains, failures and disappointments that we have attempted to hide under and among what appears to be healthy. Don’t be afraid that you may find a thought (lump) that is diseased and needs to be removed. If left unchecked the thought like a malignant lump can spread and eventually take your life. Your only chance of survival/recovery is to identify the thought(disease) and eradicate it. You see, the mental, physical and spiritual mirror each other. Start the practice of examining yourself in every arena. You are worth it. Strive to love yourself like never before. #seejayrush #Healthymind,Healthybody #Healthyspirit
Hey everybody. I found another tool for my tool box. I finished the cleanse on Friday and I must admit I feel healthier in my abdominal region. I did lose weight. I lost 10 pounds which equates to 1 pound per day. I also slimmed down my hips, tummy, butt and thighs. I did not workout while I did the cleanse and I still lost the weight. I am in no way suggesting you not workout. This is an excellent jump start for those who may be unable to exercise or have not found the right exercise program. I love to workout for good mental and physical health. The weight loss without exercise is possible because the calories you consume with the smoothies are extremely low. A smoothie for 3 meals is under 500 calories. If you add healthy snacks that are suggested you still can come in below 1000 calories. On my weigh loss journey I am learning food does not have to be my enemy. I am learning how to befriend food and use it for a healthy benefit. I no longer see weight loss as a struggle but a fight for my life. A good quality of life I plan to enjoy with my family and friends for all the appointed years God has given me. #seejayrush. #Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Spirit.🧠💪🏾🙏🏾

Monday Meditation: As I was talking with one of my sister/friends she encouraged me to try Instagram. I was hesitant because it was new and unfamiliar. Facebook is my dear old faithful friend and I wasn’t looking for a new Friend. Well, my friend convinced me it would provide me with the opportunity to brand myself and grow my business when I start my Mental Health private practice. So I challenged myself and took the plunge. I’m still learning and making mistakes but I’m doing it. I also love all the new things that I am learning. I challenge everyone today to Dare to be different. What do you need to do to move past the point you have stopped at. Change your hair style and/or hair color. Try a different food at a different restaurant. Listen to different music. While these suggestions are very simplistic sometimes we need to start small and slow to establish a firm foundation. Find the uniqueness in you and brand it. Make it your own. If you sale baked goods, provide daycare, sew, sell jewelry, makeup, provide lawn care or whatever, put your signature on it. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT. Happy Monday Y’all 💋 #seejayrush #Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Spirit #LMSW #New beginnings #its the preacher in me
