DO YOU WELL...

When I started writing my blog, I had ONE objective in mind…that was to encourage women to do themselves WELL.  As we close out the year 2012 and we approach 2013, I sit here excited, yet saddened. Excited because I have witnessed women free themselves by going on journeys in their lives they would have never dreamed of doing before; saddened, because there are so many women who have yet to do so. Unfortunately, they’re living a dream, however, that dream is not theirs…it’s their friend’s, their sister’s, or some other woman they may know, but sadly, the dream is not their own, better yet...the dream is not God's dream for their lives. It’s easy to get excited about some great idea that comes on the scene, or the new passing fancy; all those things may be good, BUT the question becomes are those things good for you? God has a purpose and plan for each and every one of us. Each purpose and plan is awesome in and of itself, however, if I’m trying to walk in your purpose and you’re trying to walk in mine, then neither one

What matters most?

In light of the tragic events that took place in Newtown, CT; my post today is dedicated to those things that really matter. I am by no means a poet, but the Holy Spirit assisted me as I penned this poem from my heart. May we all keep these families in our prayers, as when the news media leaves and when the rest of the world carries on with life as usual, they will be left to grieve over a future with their loved ones that will never happen here on earth. As you read this poem, may it encourage you to take a step towards...you doing YOU WELL!

Stay on the wheel!

Am I the only one who’s willing to admit that I can be very impatient at times? I’m not sure if it’s a female thing or not *I’m sure it is though*, but you know…we want it when we want it, AND it had better be done right. Go figure! Sometimes our rushing the process so we can get to the next thing can be our downfall.(<---tweet this)

Free yourself!

Well, I did it! I did something yesterday that freed me. What is it? I called my dad and wished him a “Happy Anniversary”. This may seem ordinary to you, but to me, it was a very BIG deal. You see, my parents were married for almost 45 years before my mom passed away suddenly on August 2, 2007. My dad remarried exactly 4 months to the date - December 2, 2007 - at the very same altar where my mom’s casket had once sat…IKR! :-) This was a lot for my sisters and I to digest, as all of our lives all we had known was mom and dad…together. We were told by others that we all wore the same clothes to my dad’s wedding that day, we had worn to my mother’s funeral…we hadn’t planned this, I promise…SERIOUSLY, LOL! :-) I guess we did it subconsciously.  Anyway, it took me five years to come to the realization that,
