I am normally too busy to look through all of the emails I get, so I immediately delete many of them because a clean slate of just a few notifications make me more chill. Your message, however, stopped me in my tracks. It told me, “Breathe, girl, ‘cuz even the greatest (like you, Charis), need to decompress and that’s OK!” In fact, each time I read your message, I get more and more out of it. I actively work to eliminate negative thoughts and people out of my headspace. Sometimes, it’s easier said than done, but the focus is to have a clear mind before going to sleep. Each day is a new day; each hour is a new hour; each minute is a new minute. Renewing energy is all around us. Breathe, inhale, envelop. XO to all the sassy sisters out there.

Today, because I have been sick for a while, I thumbed through my emails and saw this post of all days. I needed this letter today. I have been spent and de-energized for over a year! I have stepped back from a tremendous amount of things in my life to take care of me as of late. God blesses us in many ways. We all need to take our time, to heal, and to rest. But most of all to take charge of our lives. My new life is just beginning!

As we continue to wear the many hats, boundary setting is necessary. I will provide you with the caution tape that states, “you’ve been warned”. The warning phrase is, I am tired!?. I have been saying it, and now the caution tape is up, across the board family, friends, and as a business owner in the field of humanities. I have been told, I seem crabby or better just plain mean. My response was epic, I am taking care of myself, it is deaf defining when those who believe they are entitled to what we have allowed becomes an expectation…wait for it, the veil has been ripped off and the scales are removed as we sit, stand, or yhe knealt position with no one to there but God as he is wiping our frustrated filled tears saying take care of you, it’s not selfish, I need you in the best of health.
You are not alone stay the course as you elevate for you.

Charis Sis, I can most definitely relate. I used to also run around this earth doing, being and achieving for all in my path.
But then one day I said NO.
When I began to use that word as a complete sentence, my life re-centered and my energy replenished. I applaud your decision to stop the depletion in your life, Girl!

Dear Charis, I have watched you for years on the website and listened to you on sparkle. You are the best! from your Generation. I’m not surprised at the things you went through but I’m glad you saw the light of God. Long story short, people that love and give like you do have a big, big heart and then one day God let’s you know that’s enough. It’s a lesson learned about the world but God let you come out and through the test. It’s the same test He went through loving and giving. The difference is He laid down his life for us. We can’t lay our live down for the world but you loved them and God said that’s enough. We all love you here at my house and we have prayed for you as we see you. You have touched my life and I am much older than you. You have reached the hearts of many and all ages. You are full and running over with love and life. Lesson learned and I will always charish the fun I have whenever I purchase your products. ❤️❤️ the tears 😢 are running down my eyes. Tears of joy.

Yes, I can relate. I had to do the same thing.

Chile YES!!! I can relate. Though I am 10 years older, watching you and learning from has changed my life. But the most I have learned about saying NO and being okay with saying NO is when I had to take a 10 week medical leave. I have never stopped working, never have I ever taken a break for me and ONLY me. I want for once to get up in the morning because I want to and not because I have to. I get up thinking about everyone else, that they need me to help them get their day started. And when it’s my turn….it’s rush rush rush. I feel like I am running a race against time. Yes, I am tired 😫 So I feel you! Shut down and say NO. Guilt-free.

I do understand where you’re coming from. At times I can feel the stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. Trying to start an online business, working and going to school full time, I question myself if I am making the right choice but I leave it all in God’s hands and wish everyone all the best in whatever your future accomplishments are. God Bless

Yes, this is definitely me!!! I am a care giver for my 81-year-old mom, I am a wife, I am a Glam Mother of a 2-year-old, of which his father, my son is Epileptic, and his wife who also has a sickness that leaves me caring for the baby when they are down, I am the guardian of my 15-year-old great nephew that I have to stay close in talking to and caring for because of him seeing his dad murdered in front of him. Yes, that is a big obstacle that my husband and I took on to care for him along with us getting counseling for him. I learned to relieve some of my stress by just moving on, but I’ve also learned to let some things go. I am so thankful for my SJSS sisters that are always willing to send up prayers and comfort me at times I just feel lost. Charis, you are an inspiration and I have truly learned to let God be in control and always remember, God will not put more on you that you can bear. I Love you with the love of the Lord!!!!
