Morning Pep Talk – Claim Your Confidence

Leave a comment

Not cocky, but convinced that God has given me what I need to get where he destined me to be. Never be afraid to be confident. Confidence doesn’t mean you have everything or know everything. It means your comfortable enough in your own skin to admit you don’t know everything but in due time you’ll figure it out.

Claim your confidence!

Morning Move Makers – One of the most effective prayers I’ve prayed is for God to surround me with people that would get me to the next level of thinking, opportunity, spirituality. That prayer alone has brought increase into my life. My message to you is don’t just pray for God to remove the bad people; Pray that he puts you in the presence of so many exceptional people you don’t have time for the negative ones.

How to Stay Motivated All the Time
By: Dennis Kimbro 
1. Develop the right mental attitude.
2. Aspire to something greater than yourself. Develop a “magnificent obsession.”
3. Possess a futuristic outlook; take the long – range view. Release the past.
4. Develop deep personal integrity. Be someone you can admire.
5. Accept total personal responsibility. Remain in complete control at all times. Do not be manipulated by people or events. Operate on a personal timetable. 
6. Edify and affirm others. Remember nothing is greater than love.
7. Be grateful, not critical. Develop a gratitude attitude. 
8. Select your friends with care. Minimize people dependency. If you dominate your associates. There is no way for you to expand or grow.
9. Do it now! Decide what habits or changes you wish to alter in your life; make those changes and never let an exception occur.
10. Look for mentors. Mentors who ” are larger than life” expand us, mentors in different fields broaden us, and deceased mentors inspire us. 

Never Ever Ever Give Up!!!

Happy Wednesday Move Makers: My message today is about finding your own path. 

Maps, examples , land marks, travel guides are all helpful when going somewhere. What happens when you’ve lost your map? When your GPS google maps is off?  For me that was my mother. For you that could be the absence of a father or maybe you took a wrong turn that caused you to get a little lost off path. Once we lose our map or get off path our life becomes about getting back on track. We spend an excessive amount of time trying to figure out “Why” and “How” we got lost. 
I’m here to tell you that you’ll make it there. Yes, it’s taking you longer to get to where you feel you should have been years ago but you’ll wiser and much more appreciative of what took so much effort to attain. Quitting is not an option!! 
You can take a break, cry, yell and regroup. Just know that if something is meant for you, you will get there. 
Pray, Plan, Persevere 

To Hire a Baby-sitter or To Not Hire a Baby-sitter. That is the question

Leave a comment
Well well well – What are you doing on your Friday Night? I’m obviously bored out of my mind at the moment or maybe I just like taking random pictures of myself. You be the judge? 
A good question has been raised tonight. When is a good age to hire a non-family babysitter for your children. Just like every other good parent, I’m a bit anal about who I let keep my kids.  What choice do we have with a lack of family with disposable time. Spending quality time together should be a priority in any relationship but what happens when you have kids and no reliable weekend babysitter? I’m considering our neighbors teenage daughter but I can’t help thinking of what teenage words or behaviors the kids will pick up from her in the 3 hours left alone with her. She’s a good kid but let’s be for real, she’s a teenager.  Am I tweaking? 
We’re going to start the conversation because nights like this just can’t happen. I need time with my boo! I’ll let you know how things pan out.
If you have any babysitting advice please comment.
Enjoy your Friday Night!

It’s my prayer and vision to see African American women put aside their differences and take their rightful stand in leadership. We are the present role models for the future young women of tomorrow. We are the women that young women see and hear for once let them see us unite and become as one.
