There’s a new opportunity coming your way. Can you see it, yet? The law of expectation says, “If you expect small things, you’re get small things. If you expect big things, you’re more likely to get big things.”

After my divorce, I was single for a long time. For years, I was just surviving. I struggled because of toxicity that surrounded me. I continued to listen to bad advice. I remained in bad company. I appeared to be ok, but there was no significant growth in my life. My mindset was in survival mode only. Nothing more, nothing less, I just wanted to survive. Don’t get me wrong, we all should want to survive. But to be successful, we need to think beyond just surviving.

What a year this has been…But, in the midst of all the chaos and uncertainty, I will always keep my trust in God! I know He’s with me everywhere I go. When my husband asked what I wanted for my birthday. Without hesitation, I told him, “Jamaica, baby!” He said, “Well, let’s go!”

What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving? Yesterday, I shared some of the benefits to giving thanks. Here’s another great benefit: You Can Boost your Self-Esteem with Gratitude!This is a simple way to instantly boost your self-esteem and become grateful for who you are, rather than comparing yourself to others.

Gratitude is the ultimate antidote to unhappiness. I’m sure that we all have felt unhappy at one time or another. In that moment when I feel unhappy, I look for a reason to be grateful. My life has been far from perfect, but what I learned through my experiences and by overcoming many challenges, there is always something to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving is Right Around the Corner! Can you believe it? Lately, I have been thinking about gratitude. To be honest, I try to make it a point to practice gratitude each day. However, I think about it even more during this time of the year.

Wow, it’s been more than one month and we’re still getting calls, texts and emails about this year’s Created to Shine Conference! When I tell you that I tried to cancel this event several times, I’m not kidding.

True Story…

It was four years ago. I was preparing for my 50th birthday, so I set a goal to lose X amount of weight. It involved joining a gym, eating healthy and walking 3 to 4 days a week. For about 2 months, I did very well and I was actually seeing results, until that Day!

It was a Monday! Normally, I would walk early in the mornings. But, on this particular day, I didn’t get started until around noon. I put on my walking shoes, did some stretching, grabbed my phone and started my walk. It was a beautiful, sunny day.

Pansies are a classic cool weather flower, used in most places as an annual. In some warmer and moderate climates, like parts of California, gardeners can grow them year round. In areas where the climate is more extreme with the seasons, it is more typical to grow them during the cooler parts of the year. These flowers generally do not want to bloom in the heat.

There’s so much chaos around us. It’s so easy to get caught up in the wave of fear that’s moving through all of our communities. But, guess what? You still have a purpose to fulfill! So, I want to share something that has worked for me.
