Hi Divas,
About this week.đź–¤
It’s been a tough one.
When those close to me hurt. I hurt. When a loved one is lost there really are no words of comfort that can be offered. Only your love and support.
Many of us are losing our loved ones primarily our parents. A change of the guard. It’s a part of life but losing a parent is losing a piece of your identity. We revert back to being a child in that moment no matter our age. When l lost my Mom almost 20 years ago l thought l had this death and grief thing down. I was painfully wrong.
Losing my second parent in 2018 almost took me out. The emptiness l felt was insurmountable. My father and l were extremely close especially after my Mom died we leaned on each other.
I learned that l had a lot of unresolved issues that came to the surface after his death. It has been my greatest blessing thus far of discovering who l truly am and what l’m made of.
We never truly grow up until our parents are gone.I am grateful and blessed to have had amazing parents who did their very best providing me the tools to succeed in life. My greatest lesson l learned from them was simply observing how they lived.
When l see the post on my timeline of loved ones lost take heart that your pain is felt and that you are not alone. We will all lose someone near and dear to us at some point in our lives but know that ironically these experiences bring us closer to ourselves.
We are not from our parents but we do come through them in this life’s journey. It took me some time to grasp that concept.
Every season of life will require a new you. The most valuable words of wisdom was from my Grandfather.
He died at the age of 86 twenty-five years ago. One of his last words were “ Just when you figure it all out, it’s time to go.” I was young and did not truly understand this concept until now.
There is no rush to get it all right or figure it all out. I’m patient in allowing my life to unfold…
Be Healthy Be Fabulous Be You!

Hey Divas!
I lost 7 lbs this past week. 🙌🏽💖
Juicing is a total game changer! Eating healthier, taking my vitamins. I’m so about this life right now! So l bought my juicer 2 years ago. Just starred at it now using it. To my surprise it was super easy to use and clean.
Taking on the daily detox regimen. Also with everything going on its also a great support to our immune system. Hot water, lemon and honey even better. It helps break up congestion.
Lemon water & Celery juice in the mornings!
{Drink 30 minutes apart}
It helps support liver detox overnight so our body can absorb nutrients & clean out all the toxins and food waste from our body that we store daily! To learn more about health benefits of lemon water & celery juice you can google Anthony William, Medical Medium
Celery juice also helps combat Breast & other Cancers. Cheers to good health! đź’šđź’š
Be Healthy! Be Fabulous! Be You!

Hey Divas!
I’ve missed you Ladies! Summer is around the corner it’s about that time!
Warning: Long Post!
It’s been a minute and I hope that everyone is doing Fabulous on their health & wellness journeys! As we all know with this lifestyle change there is no straight arrow to success there are stops and curves and scribbles and circles before we get to where we want to be and I’m learning that the process is the fun part what a story we will have to share with one another!
I had to take a step back in order to take a step forward in my life. I had to prioritize what is truly important to me and carry on the work that God has called me to do.
When we abandon our calling not intentionally but more of getting in our own way and pursuing a life the way we think it’s suppose to be lived. In my experience this  leads to disaster and feeling ” lost ” in this world.
If you are blessed to know your calling embrace it. If you don’t know your calling seek it. The only way you will find it is when you never pass up an opportunity and love everything! You will know you have found your sweet spot when you not only love what you do but you are passionate about it.
Embracing your calling is a gift and unique to you and only you so share with the world! We are all here to build to connect and to grow with one another.
So in short, I’m still here and so is Fly by July! I’ve experienced and experiencing medical challenges recently that I will be sharing in future post so this season Fly by July 2015 I will be focusing on documenting my journey we all know how this social media thing works LoL
If you don’t know now you know… ( In my Biggie Smalls voice )
You are more than welcomed to join me on my journey to health and freedom! Get plugged in and follow on social media everything ( the main ones )  is flybyjuly or @flybyjuly depending on your network of choice. I will be sure to follow you back let’s hold each other accountable and get FLY! I’m starting on Monday April 13th – July 13th you can join in at anytime!
How it Works:
This entire campaign is truly a passion and dream of mine that I’m not giving up on because everyone deserves to feel beautiful and needs support in one form or another when starting and continuing a healthy lifestyle, not everyone in the world is down for eating Kale Steaks and taking a swig of green smoothies on the daily. PLUS who doesn’t want to reap the benefits of living a HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!
Like having a beautiful body that you are proud of a body that you earned. Having the energy to play with your kids, grandkids, husbands boyfriends and boo-thangs or even just having the energy to enjoy a Ladies Night with your girls.
Having the energy to go anywhere and do anything that your heart desires! It could be having the confidence to date again going for a job promotion or even possibly starting your own business! The world is your oyster divas and the possibilities are endless it doesn’t matter where you are in life if it be in your 20’s 30’s 40’s and beyond.
If we’re not growing we’re slowly dying and who’s trying to die!?! #notagoodlookforadiva Nobody has time for that right now we all have full lives ahead of us to live!
A brand new Fabulous Life awaits those who desire to seek it!
I don’t know of anyone who desires to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. we can not stop disease from striking us but we can take care of ourselves so that we have the best defense should it strike!
So when you are ready to makeover your lifestyle you will know it!
Just Start!

Hey Divas!
Confidence. It’s so freaking sexy. Everybody wants it but does know exactly how to get it. Having confidence opens doors that no other can open. It allows a diva to do whatever she pleases and live a life without constant fear of failure. It allows a diva to have self-worth and not give into other people’s bullshit.
I’ve had a lot of people ask me how I remain so confident what’s the secret how do you do it. It amazes me that people are surprised when a plus sized person has confidence and dresses well that it is so foreign to them.
Divas for one there is no secret to confidence like anything else it is a skill that can be learned. I’m not confident everyday there are days when I am down but “acting” confident can have an effect on your mood uplift you and effect those around you so share! Make it a habit! We can form all kinds of habits why not allow being confident one of them.
When a diva is confident she runs the show she calls the shots she takes a bow because she is center stage when ever she wants to be, whenever she chooses to be. A confident diva does not have to disappear into the background.
So how does a diva get it?
Think positive, everybody has problems no one wants to hear a diva belly ache #notagoodlook for a diva.
What have you achieved in the last year, last five years that had you like yea that’s me bitches!!!
What are you most proud of? How did it make you feel?
What are you good at brag post it up on Instagram and hashtag # that out!
In general when people compliment you, what do they say?
Keep it positive divas your proudest moments and accomplishments is your value and is your confidence mojo!
Be Healthy Be Fabulous!

Hey Divas!
Because this is how I walk. OWN it!!!’
I remember my first fitness date so many years ago I told myself: “Today I Run.”
I made it to the mailbox.
I know many times we wanna hit the gym, join that online 30 day ab challenge, run a marathon, do a thousand sit-ups, pop in a P90x CD and ” Go Beast Mode ” take heat divas, sometimes the lofty goals although fantastic are just not realistic fitness goals to maintain when just starting out.
I have set lofty goals in the past only to end up disappointed and angry with myself for not keeping up and went right back to my X Mr. McNasty answering his late night foodie calls….as the saying goes… sometimes we have to walk before we can run.
Walking by far is the most effective and safest exercise for a diva just starting out on her healthy fitness journey. Lots of divas start by just simply walking.
Here are 5 Whys Why Walking is a great First Fitness Date!
1. It’s free no gym membership!
2. Just about every diva can do it from 2 to 102!
3. We use most of our energy walking in our day to day activity we do it daily!!!
4. Take it to the streets! You can walk anywhere the mall the office, around your house…
5. Get a pedometer! It’s an easy way to track activity a diva needs to know her math!
I’ve fought it for many years at the end of the day we have to know our numbers to lose but more importantly to maintain weightloss the daily goal to maintain healthy daily physical activity is 10,000 steps a day.
#FitTip Walking 30 minutes meets daily physical activity requirements to maintain physical activity requirements, take it easy divas you can work your way upto 10k! Rome was not built in a day!
So OWN it Diva Get Out there and Walk!
Be Healthy Be Fabulous!
