What does it mean to be strong to you?

/ Nicole Cherise / Leave a comment

We have so many belief systems in regards to what being strong is or what it looks like. Does it represent a physical feature or is it mental? Who in your life is representing Strength? Did they have an influence on your outlook on Strength? Let’s hear it friends 😊

The glimpse at winning

/ Nicole Cherise / Leave a comment

We can’t assume that it came easy or free! Many of these people are living the life that we want to have but it took blood, sweat and tears to get there. These people failed many times, received one rejection after the other but didn’t give up.

Has this been you? Have you had a moment when you saw the CEO and their car? Or maybe that power couple on the ultimate baecation. Yes, it’s all beautiful and achievable. Just remember, what’s for you is for you and your time WILL come.

Continue to work hard so that you can play hard! Don’t give in and don’t give up!

Thanks for reading,

Like a tree

/ Nicole Cherise / 7 Comments

Never saw a tree like this in Long Island. I thought they were mainly in the south. I guess I’ve been under a rock lol 🤣. Taking the time to admire its beauty during “fall” temps, gave me a sense of calmness. The way the leaves swayed as if it had its own dance moves gave me peace. To think the amount of storms the tree went through but it’s still standing strong. Lately, I have not been feeling my best (up and down with weather change/post partum body changes) but like this tree, I know I have to still show up and stay strong. I hope you can too my friends. Not every day we are super strong, but you continue to keep going, you got this 💪🏾.

It’s your story

You Are the Author. You have to describe the details. How can someone else truly know the depth to YOUR character?

We can all get writer’s block, experience many times of uncertainty, often question “What are we doing with ourselves?” and so on. However, don’t throw that towel in, regroup and Continue On!

You got this. I got this. We got this. Let’s not give up on ourselves 💪🏾

Thanks for reading friends!

Thank you Chadwick Boseman

I honestly don’t even have the words to say how inspired I am by this King that has transitioned. Bringing so much love and soul to film while battling stage 3-4 colon cancer is remarkable. He didn’t voice his prognosis, but Showed up everyday. Many tears have been shed after hearing of his passing but I want to look to him as inspiration.

I too, battle a horrible disease that has no cure. I also take a form of chemotherapy (tysabri) while being a wife, mother of two boys and working. I have days when I can barely walk, I fall because my legs give out on me, I have burning nerve pain that feels like someone lit a match on me, my brain has over 20 lesions on it and I have no clue if more will come down the road. Yet, I promise myself to SHOW UP and try.

Chadwick, has done that and MORE with No complaints. He visited children battling cancer, representing a super hero that they were able to see in person. Meanwhile, he had NO clue to us he is a REAL SUPER HERO.

Thank you for all your hard work, your art, and your words, they will echo through our hearts forever. Thank you for representing ALL warriors that are battling illness rather they’ve voiced it or not. Sleep in Peace, job well done.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch!

Happy Motivational Monday! Through this journey… this is One of the BIGGEST lessons that I’m learning. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I dont take criticism well, I don’t like the feeling of rejection and more.

I’m not proud of these traits but they are apart of me. What I’m beginning to understand is that i DON’T need to take the little things personally. Someone doesn’t like a post? Cool. Someone gave a critique that I didn’t want to hear? Cool.

What I needed to understand is that I can learn from all of those experiences. Guess what friends? So can you! If you’re like me, this is no simple task, however, You are more than what lies on the surface. You are NOT a failure. The BEST of your story hasn’t been told yet! Hold on dear friends, we are in this together!

Thanks for reading!

You’re still Here

/ Nicole Cherise / Leave a comment

So much that weighs on our hearts.

So many horrible experiences.

Trust broken, relationships not ever lasting.

Family became Strangers.

Illnesses with no cure.

Damage to the body that can’t fully be repaired.

Friends become enemies.

Debt is more than our salaries.

Our mental state needs assistance through counselors or prescriptions.

Some turn to the bottle and drugs to get through their issues.

With all of this… You’re Still here. You are Bigger than any of these circumstances. You serve a purpose not matter if it’s big or small. Don’t give in, don’t give up on yourself. You are needed.

Thank you,

Nicole Cherise ♥️

We’re scared so it’s..No

/ Nicole Cherise / Leave a comment

We are Scared. We have Fear. We are Doubtful.

The Unknown is what makes us give the quick answer of “No”. We get frightened because we have to step out of our comfort zone. We make excuses of why we can’t be great. Therefore, we choose to give up.

Friends, our biggest challenge is to take that leap of faith. We get so close to achieving our dreams, so close that we can Taste it! Yet, we fall short.

Let’s make a conscious effort to try for that leap. We can write down our vision, do the research, and finally execute! Believe in yourself. You Owe it to yourself. Be Happy and not afraid of Success.

I’m here as always, thanks for reading!
