Month: October 2023

This year, I am honoring my mom and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Soror Theresa B. Gartin Leeke’s spirit and 84th heavenly birthday (November 10) with three online meditations during our sorority’s Founders’ Day Month in November (also known as RHOvember).

The meditations I am leading will focus on three of my mom Theresa’s life lessons about spirit, self-care, and service.

Click the buttons below to sign up for one or more of the meditations.

If you are unable to attend the meditations via Zoom, I will post the videos on this page and Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

TWO LAST THINGS …

Tune into A Cultured Pearl’s Legacy Podcast (9 episodes) and listen to my mom Theresa share her journey as a life member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, reflections on the Centennial celebration, lessons learned, and wisdom as an African American woman who wore many hats as a wife, mother, educator, nonprofit leader, and musician.

What emotional season are you in right now?

I am in an emotional season of GRIEF + GRACE + GRATITUDE + GROWTH + DEEPER SOFTNESS.

What do you need to navigate the emotional season you are in right now?

This month, I have been exploring how to align myself as the Strategic CEO of my life with seasons and systems. My exploration has helped me dive deeper into how I am navigating the emotional season of grief with the Thriving Mindfully system I developed over the past 30+ years.

I thought you might like to know more about my journey and how you can align yourself with seasons and systems. Listen to the latest Thriving Mindfully Podcast episodes below to learn more and gain tips on how you can align yourself as the Strategic CEO of your life with seasons and systems.

Sometimes you have to adjust how you take care of yourself.

That means you gotta check in with yourself to see what you really need in terms of self-care.

When’s the last time you checked in with yourself about your self-care?
