Living in my purpose 🙏🏾🫶🏾

It's funny how often people ask about the meaning behind my name. For a long time, I didn't really think much of it beyond 'it's just my name!' But as I finally gave God my yes and stepped into my purpose, becoming an author and speaker to help people get closer to Him, I started to reflect more deeply on what my name, 'Quisha,' truly signifies to me and my journey. I've looked into its origins a bit, and while it's often considered a modern American name, sometimes a variation of names like Latisha or Lakeisha, it frequently carries associations of joy, happiness, or life itself. When I first learned this, it truly resonated. Before, I was searching, feeling unfulfilled. But finding my purpose has brought an incredible sense of joy and vitality into my life, aligning with those potential meanings. It's like the inherent spirit of my name has finally found its full expression in my calling. When friends and family tell me, 'you look happier now,' it's more than just a compliment; it feels like a powerful confirmation that I'm living in alignment with that deeper, personal meaning. My journey isn't just about my own personal fulfillment; it’s about sharing that light and helping others discover their own inherent worth and calling. As an author, I pour my experiences and insights onto pages, hoping to inspire reflection, faith, and personal growth for those seeking their own path. As a speaker, I connect with audiences, encouraging them to discover their unique gifts and purposes, showing them how to unlock that inner 'life' and 'joy' that I now experience daily. This process of reflecting on my name’s potential meaning, even if not anciently decreed, has been incredibly practical. It's given me another layer of motivation and identity. It serves as a reminder that the essence of who we are, even down to our given names, can be deeply connected to our destiny. It makes me think about how we all, implicitly or explicitly, give meaning to our names through our actions, our beliefs, and the lives we choose to lead. For anyone out there wondering about their own name, or feeling a pull towards a greater purpose, I encourage you to explore it. What does your name mean to you? How does it connect with your aspirations, your faith, or the person you aspire to be? Sometimes, the most profound meanings are not found in historical texts, but forged in the crucible of our own experiences. For me, 'Quisha' is no longer just a label; it’s a living testament to a commitment to faith, a dedication to service as an author and speaker, and a vibrant pursuit of a life filled with purpose and the happiness that comes from helping others. I hope this gives a little more insight into what 'Quisha' means to me on this incredible, purposeful journey.
