Essence Of Me, Judith

05/10/2026

Eight years later… and today I miss my Mom more than words could ever explain. 💔

My Mom, Gladys, was one of the strongest women I have ever known. And when I say strength, I don’t mean physical strength… I mean the strength of her LOVE. A love so deep, so unconditional, so pure, that sometimes I truly believe only God Himself could’ve placed that kind of love inside of her.

She didn’t have a Mom to teach her how to be one. Her Dad passed away when she was young. Yet somehow she became the kind of mother who loved her children beyond measure. She loved us through every mistake, every flaw, every season of life. There was nothing we could do to make her stop loving us.

And when my Brother passed away… a part of her went with him. Seven days later, she left this earth too, because her heart simply couldn’t live without her son. That is a mother’s love.

Today I sit back, look in the mirror, and see a reflection of Gladys in me. Her strength. Her heart. Her fight. Her love. And I thank God every day that out of all the women in this world… He chose her to be my Mom.

Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven, Mom. 🕊️
I love you forever.

I’ve been meditating on this all week, and I just had to share it.

As we come into Good Friday… this day is so powerful and so profound to me.
It’s the day that Jesus took it all—for you and for me.
It’s the day that changed the trajectory of our lives.
The day that reconnected us back to the Father… with no one in between.

We now have direct access. 🙏🏽

Good Friday is the ultimate display of love.
And one of the most powerful moments for me… is what happened on the cross between Jesus and the criminal next to Him.

This man was guilty.
He knew he deserved what was happening to him.
But he also recognized… Jesus didn’t.

And in his final moments, he asked for just one thing:
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

That’s it.
No long prayer.
No perfect words.
Just a heart that turned toward Jesus.

And Jesus—while taking His final breaths—looked at him and said:
“Today, you will be with me in paradise.”

Just like that. 💙

That moment reminds me… it’s never too late.
No matter how far we feel, how broken we feel, or how low we may be…

All it takes is a sincere heart that turns and says:
“Jesus, remember me.”

So if you find yourself overwhelmed…
in a dark place…
or feeling distant…

Don’t overthink it. Don’t try to clean yourself up first.

Just call on Him.

“Jesus… remember me.”

And watch how He meets you right there. 🙏🏽

YESSS 🔥👏🏽 2️⃣nd 1️⃣0️⃣K for the BOOKS!

Yesterday was my Daddy Birthday, and while I was running, all I could think about was him—his love, his strength, and everything he poured into me ❤️
This run was for you, Dieudonné ☺️🙏🏽See you real soon😘 (God Willing)

Running truly is a blessing.
It’s a mental game before it’s ever physical. It teaches discipline, resilience, patience, and grit. Every mile is a reminder that I choose this. I choose to wake up, to show up, and to push through—especially when it would be easier not to.

Running doesn’t just prepare my body… it prepares my mind for life.
I don’t have to do it—I get to do it 🙏🏽🏃🏽‍♀️💪🏽
And that choice is powerful.

ANOTHER ONE DOWN, B.A.DDIES 🔥💪🏽

What started as Sonjah saying, “Let’s go for a run together,” as Burn sisters turned into an incredible friendship. From working out together most evenings to pushing each other beyond comfort zones, it’s led to countless running PRs along the way 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🔥

We kicked off 2026 strong by running an official 10K and hitting a PR of 1:01, placing 9th in the 50–54 age division — my FASTEST EVER!

This is what happens when accountability meets community. Burn sisters, strong bodies, stronger bonds 💙🔥 That’s what Burn boot camp do for so many across this country🥹🙏🏽💪🏽🔥
