Today I woke up and felt filled to the brim with gratitude. I want to say thanks to you guys, my followers, my community, my family and friends for your outpouring of support. When I put pen to paper for my book, the only thing I wanted to do was encourage someone not to give up in the midst of a turbulent situation. Just like you rallied behind me when I was going through the darkest of times, you've rallied behind me again and I'm so appreciative. If no one else tells you thank you today. From me to you, THANK YOU! * * #melstrong #grateful #appreciation #thankful #thankyou #friends #family #community #thankyouGod #ButGod #survivor #overcomer #ThroughItALL #author #speaker

First day back to the virtual office after a wonderful holiday break and what do I see? Today is my 5-year workiversary (my new word 😉)! It's crazy how fast time flies. Working as legal counsel for Microsoft has been one of the funnest and coolest jobs I have had so far. I get to work with some of the smartest geeks in the world and as a techie who just happens to be a lawyer, it's my jam. ⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #worklife #microsoftlife #microsoft #thegeekslawyer #work #anniversary #surface #surfacebook #virtualworking #corporatecounsel #techlawyer #womenintech #womeninlaw #esquire #blacklawyers #building #growing #learning

I am grateful for this time to recharge. I'm reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by @johnmarkcomer and this nugget spoke directly to me - ⁠"Many of us are just too busy to live emotionally healthy and spiritually rich and vibrant lives. Busyness cuts off our connection to God, to other people, and even to our own soul."⁠ This quarantine has shown me that life is not going to get any less busy. I just have to be intentional about slowing down. My soul (and sanity) depends on it.⁠ ⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #bestill #stillness #meditation #rest #relaxation #restoration #recharge #peace #serenity #relax #calmdown #slowdown #selfcareSunday #read #think #meditate #soulwork #melstrong

Can I just brag on my hubs @drbennettperio real quick? He has continued to practice and complete some of the most complex surgeries in the midst of a pandemic with tons of challenges. Business ownership, especially as a dental or medical practitioner in private practice, is not for the faint of heart. But, this guy right here has been crushing it and God has truly graced him for this season. Keep doing your thang my love @dbtwo! 🥰 ⁠ *⁠ * ⁠ #proudwife ⁠#mancrushMonday #mancrusheveryday #myguy #miamore #love #blacklove #loveandmarriage #marriage #king #blackking #blackdoctor #blackdentist #dmvdoc #entrepreneur #ownership #marriedtomedicine #marriedtodentistry
