One thing that inspires me!

October 29th, 2009

I’m a huge believer that every one of us has the inner strength to take on life’s many challenges and to be successful.   One saying that resonates with me on today is simply “Life will not put things in front of us that we are not able to handle.” 

Remember when you are faced with disappointment and when you become discouraged, and start thinking you’re unable to achieve a goal, remember!  You can do it. You can achieve it, think positively and make it happen!

Share what inspires you, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

Loving your body!

October 28th, 2009

You know the one God blessed you with!  Life is too short; why spend time hating on your body?  Learn to accept your body and embrace yourself from head to toe.  Some reasons are: Your body is unique; No one else has the same one.  No matter how bad you treat it, it’s willing to give you another chance. It’s expressive, in telling you how it feels (pay attention) and telling others how you feel about it as well. Because somebody out there (or somebodies) admires and adores it.  You’ll regret not loving your body and taking care of it later.  Take time and love yourself, all of you!!!  Remember confidence is pretty sexy.

Let us know what you’re doing to take care of your body and how you practice self-acceptance.  Remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheer to the beautiful person you are!

Relaxing with a good book!

October 27th, 2009

It’s fall, a good book can be a great way to spend a quiet evening.  When you feel overwhelmed or anxious, don’t lose your mind, try losing yourself in a good book.  According to research reading for as little as 10 minutes lowers your heart rate and reduces stress.  Getting caught up in the story helps you escape from your own personal worries for a bit.  If you can’t seem to find the time to spend at home relaxing with a good book for the person on the go you can always try playing an audio book in your morning or evening commute. 

Let us know what you’re reading.  Remember when you share you are helping somebody!  Cheers.

Growth

October 26th, 2009

Today I am reminded of all the blessing I have experienced in life.  There have been so many good times and some disappointing times but I made it through.  I recently went through a period when I had to face the reality that certain people I thought were close to me really didn’t have my best interest at hearts.  They did not support my growth or dreams they were just hanging around to see if I could reach the goals I set out for or to rejoice if I didn’t.  These types of people ultimately weight you down with negative energy and you gotta cut those ties.

There is one thing for certain about living this life, there will be transitions.  There are situation and circumstances that force you to grow, that growth forces you to a new place and higher level.  It’s getting through the process that’s hard but once you go through you should realize that you are stronger, wiser and better.  And that nothing can stop you now.   

Please feel free to share your comments, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

It’s Saturday! A day to take care of you and have fun!

October 24th, 2009

Our theme for Saturday will always focus on fun and relaxation. 

It’s the weekend and having fun starts with your pursuit of joy!  We get caught up in life and all of our responsibilities that we  forget to have fun. We simply forget to play.  We must remember life is a game, and games are meant to be fun.    Once you realize that there is more to life than working and taking on too many responsibilities, life takes on a new meaning.  Fun gives you a new outlook, something to look forward to. It keeps you youthful and vibrant.  Fun is absolutely free.  Give yourself permission to have fun and take care of you. 

It’s Saturday find something fun & relaxing to do and share back with us, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

“Dare to be the greatest”

October 22nd, 2009

Whatever your challenge, you’ll succeed if you believe in yourself.  Learn what drives and motivates you.  Then get ready to embrace those things and shake things up for yourself.  One of the biggest obstacles we face is not believing in our abilities to make things happen.  We have to change the way we think and change our mentality, to embrace a “yes I can”, “yes I will” attitude.  Keep in mind we all have things we want to achieve but just because it doesn’t happen when we expect it to, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.  It only means it won’t happen now!  Don’t stop on your journey to greatness, the best is yet to come!

Let us know what you’re thinking, by sharing your comments you are helping somebody!  Cheers to you!

Our Quest

October 21st, 2009

Do you have a prerequisite for happiness?  Think about it, do you believe “material things” will make you happy?  Sometimes we get caught up in the idea that we cannot be good enough or fulfilled until we have this or that (materialistically).  I honestly don’t believe that money or material possessions make you happy, whole or complete as a person.  I think we all have qualities that are unique and special and I personally wouldn’t want to be anyone else and I don’t think there is anyone on this earth that can be me!  For that I am thankful.  I have certainly crossed the path of others that I like their drive, character, achievements, talents and strength but I wouldn’t want to be them by any means.  I believe individually we should all take time to become more in tune with our needs, desires, and who we really are.  We should be thankful for who we are, all of our talents, uniqueness, wisdom, compassion, attributes and all the many blessings we have experienced.

Be thankful for the person you are and focus your quest on things like peace, patience, understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and honoring yourself for the beautiful person you are.  The rest will come.  What God has for you is for you, no one can take that.

Share your thoughts on “Our Quest” let us know what you’re thinking.  Remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers to you!

Relationships

October 20th, 2009

Relationship are critical in life, we cannot get around them.  I personally pray for God to guide me in all of my relationships.  I embrace the relationships that uplift and support me and dismiss the others.  I totally believe people come in your life for a reason, season or lifetime.  Some people are placed in our paths, and we in theirs for specific reasons.  It may to get us through a difficult time, a challenge we’re facing, guidance, whatever the reason there is a purpose.  But, we should understand that some relationships were not meant to be forever.  Sometimes, their departure from our lives just means you are in a better place, and they were simply just in your life for a season or specific reason. 

All relationships have their purpose.  Don’t get caught up on if someone betrays or deceives you, it’s a part of relationships.  Rather learn the lesson that the relationship brought you.  Remember not everyone who comes in your life means you good, or has your best interest at heart.  We must pay close attention when building new relationships such as potential friends, business partners, or acquaintances, pray and ask God to show you if it’s in your best interest.  If not, don’t hesitate to move on.  Give thanks for all the people who have entered your life, and get over those who have moved on.  They served their purpose.  There will always be people you can count on to be with you on your life journey, but for those that are not a part of your life journey send them on their way with love & kindness.  This will open the door for more success in your relationships and blessing for you to experience. Choose relationships with lots of prayer, thoughtfulness and carefulness.

Take a moment to share your thoughts on relationships!  Remember you’re helping somebody by sharing.  Cheers!

Women with Wisdom

October 19th, 2009

How much have you grown in the last 5 years alone?  Think about all the valuable lessons you have learned and life experiences you have embraced with grace and class.  We are stronger and wiser.  We are women with wisdom.  We are smart, beautiful, intelligent, and full of life.  We are comfortable with ourselves.  We mean what we say, and say what we mean.  We are women with low tolerance for drama, negativity, or foolishness.

As we grow and increase our confidence, we let things roll off our shoulders that might have bothered us in the past.  We understand that life throws us curve balls that can be seen as lessons in living.  We’ve learned to go with the flow and when to be still so that we can get the right message.  At the end of the day no one has to remind us  who we are; we know we aren’t perfect.  We’re ready to turn our weakness into strengths and build on our gifts.  Women with wisdom know how to laugh, embrace peace, we love hard, and we share in each other’s joy and pain.  We find it fulfilling to share our wisdom with other so that it might help them avoid our previous mistakes.  Women equipped with wisdom should embrace each day as another opportunity to get things right, do things better and be the best that we can be.  We should learn from our previous mistakes and embrace the future ahead of us! 

Take a moment to share your thoughts, remember you’re helping somebody by sharing.  Cheers to Wisdom!
