Sometimes “No” is just God’s way of saying “not yet”. Patience and obedience will always lead you to your BEST YES. ❤️ “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” -Isaiah 40:31

November is National Epilepsy Day 💜💜. Epilepsy affects approximately 2 million people in the U.S. In support of everyone who lives or loves a person with epilepsy, I wanted to share my journey. My name is Oprah Bradford and I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder when I was 13 years old. Check out the full blog on oprahzipbradford.com 🖤

Can I be transparent for a minute and tell you about the woman in this photo? That woman is me...smiling, focusing, and finally LIVING. A couple of months back, I didn't carry a smile. I was too busy carrying my problems instead and getting pretty darn comfortable dwelling in them. I had become stagnant with no energy to press forward. To the public eye, I was this flourishing author with a platform people love. In my eyes, I was a broken woman who had no idea what steps to take to enter in a bigger season. Then something happened....I became TIRED of my own "ish" and applied action to the areas of my life that needed improvement. Pretty soon, it was like fire was under my feet as I worked diligently to create the life I want. And those changes I made started with a NEW mindset and a NEW mental focus. FOCUS NOW...BLOOM LATER is a gentle reminder that I don't need to know all the answers today. It's knowing God will lead me to them. I don't just wear the shirt... I live by the message. 🖤

It's tough being a creative, but you must show that part of yourself to the world to inspire and help others as well as staying true to yourself. Art has no boundaries, no limitations, and no rules. In art there is no space for condemnatory opinions; there is only room for love, peace, and truth. Check out this amazing creative piece written by lifestyle blogger Whitley Gillin (@withlove_sade ).

Over the last year and a half, one important lesson I learned in my relationship is to never assume Adrian knows everything I expect in our relationship...if I don't tell him or express it to him. Call me crazy lol, but I used to be the type of woman that thought the man I was with should be a mind reader and know automatically what I want! A relationship is based off the power of communication, not overthinking and assumptions. Let your man do his job as a man, but remember he is also human and can't read your mind. I've gotten so better with expressing myself more, knowing what I want and deserve, and knowing I can bring to the table exactly what I expect my partner to bring. It's a blessing to be with someone who never makes you feel like you're asking for too much. ♥️ Relationships are beautiful. Don't rush building it. The best thing to spend on your relationship is time, conversation, understanding, and honesty.
