Today I am reminded of how good God is to me, my family and friends.  I am so thankful for his presence in my every being.  I give thanks for this protection, for making crooked places straight, for protection through the storms, for making a way out of no way, and for forgiving me when I was unable to forgive myself and others.  I am thankful for grace and mercy I realize his goodness enduredth forever.  I am thankful for knowing that their is a higher power in my life.  I am his and for that I am so thankful. 

Please take a moment to share at least one thing you’re thankful for on today, remember you’re helping somebody!  Cheers.

Remember it’s the weekend and FUN is being in the pursuit of joy!  We get caught up in life and all of our responsibilities that we  forget to have fun. We also get consumed with the work part of life that we 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.  It’s the weekend find something fun to do today and share back with us, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

If you’re like me, you often feel that “good enough” just isn’t good enough.  But, I am learning to see things differently.  Feeling the need to do things perfectly drains so much energy and waste time and effort.  Perfectionism also produces a lot of unnecessary stress and pressure and can lead to burnout.  Start saving your energy for what counts!  Start by acknowledging the following:

No one is perfect, and you don’t have to be.  You’ll make mistakes, but so what? You’ll learn and grown through them.  I hope.  Recognize the difference between a mistake and a failure.  Take a moment to share your thoughts, remember you’re helping somebody!  Cheers.

Faith, it’s not what you do, it’s not something you’re looking for, it’s not something you’ve lost.  Faith is who you are.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.  Never forget that.

Faith is a gift, whenever I am alone, Faith is with me.  When it appears that all of my resources and reserves are gone, Faith is there.  When my so-called friends close their eyes, stop listening, and turn their backs on me, Faith is there.  When I slip and make decisions and choices that are not in my best interest Faith is there.  When the “me” in “me” can no longer see the goodness and unlimited blessing you have in store for me Faith is there.  I am grateful for the gift of Faith.  I realize I cannot buy it, borrow it, I only need to acknowledge you in all my ways so that you can continue to direct my path!  I am thankful for the gift of Faith. 

Take a moment to share your thoughts on Faith, we all have some.  Remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

No matter what you’re going through, love yourself.  See the beauty in your smile as it flashes back at you in the mirror.  Love the grace of your walk.  Cultivate your self-esteem and your intellect.  A nurtured mind is your pass to all sorts of opportunities.  Trust and lean into your innate intelligence.  Remember that no error is unpardonable.  Look, all around you are striving, achieving women, all of whom once navigated the ups and downs of growing up and life.  As you move onward and upward, it is so important that you pardon those who might have wronged you.  Forgive.  Remember you are a prize, you are precious.  Dare to dream beyond your present circumstances, set your goals, knowing they are within your grasp.  And if anyone should refuse you along the way, then create a fresh start for yourself.  You deserve it! 

Take a moment to share your thought on loving you and how you prepare for your future and stay strong.  Remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

Wealth, prosperity and abundance are established with a clear mind and a loving heart, not hard work.  How to get what you want and keep it.  Pray, for wisdom, knowledge and understanding over your finances.  Please feel free to share your relationship with money, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers!

One thing I know for sure “TIME waits on no-one”.  We live in a World that is obviously troubled there is simply no regard for human life, children, families are falling apart, and violence is at an all time high.  But, one thing is for sure TIME still continues to tick away.

I have been thinking why is it that every time something great happens in your life it seems like it’s accompanied by something “not so great”?  When you’re young, sometimes older too, you automatically assume that you have all the TIME in the World but then something tragic happens, you get a call you weren’t expecting, someone suddenly walks out of your life or you walk out of theirs, and you realize that you’re not guaranteed TIME.  There’s an old saying “tell people and show them that you love them every day because you may never get to say it or show them again” or “don’t go to bed mad because you may not wake up”, there are a lot of people that leave home during the course of the day, but never return.  TIME…………….

TIME is so valuable and has never had the meaning it has for me as it does today.  TIME is more valuable than money, material possessions, or tangible things, but we still seem to take these things for granted.  Take TIME to make amends with family, friends or loves ones, take TIME to just make a call to say “hi, I love you”, treasure the TIME you have been blessed with and share it with the people you love and hold dear, if there are any issues or unresolved problems make sure you work it out before you run out of time…………………. Remember time waits on no one, and we are not promised the next second.

Your assignment today is to make TIME to share, give, love and receive love.  Please share your comments about what TIME means to you, remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers to TIME!

It’s Sunday, a day most people set asside to give thanks!  We have so much to be thankful for. If you’re reading this you have one things to give thanks for, you’re alive.   Please take a moment to share at least one thing you are thankful for.   Remember you’re helping somebody.  Cheers to giving thanks!

We must do more than think pink this October.  The statistics can be very disheartening, while Black women are less likely to get breast cancer; they’re more likely to die from it. Obesity is the second leading contributing factor after tobacco. Some studies showed that women of 40 don’t even remember when their last mammogram was.  Some experts are now recommending women have their first mammogram before 40 and possibly as early as 33 this according to a recent study published in the Journal of American College of Surgeons. To find a center near you please visit Cancer.org.  If you haven’t schedule your first or next mammogram please take time to do so. 

Some small things that will help you stay healthy; walking one to two hours weekly cuts your breast cancer risk by 18 to 20 percent.  Eating smart, research shows that that the greater variety of fruits and vegetables you eat, the more phytonutrients you consume.  Remember to do monthly breast exams, for more information on this please visit ww5.komen.org/bse/bse.html for a how-to-video.  For more information regarding Breast Cancer please visit www.BCRFCURE.ORG.

Cheers to staying healthy!
