Metra Morning Read: Blessed and Focused

Leave a comment

Whew! It’s been a long week. Daily work Fire drills ( that’s what we call last minute request) leave you exhausted and playing catch up.

On top of that, Commuting is a complete energy sucker but it has its perks. Not battling Chicago Traffic is a plus. Especially on days like today when President Obama will be in the Hyde Park area rallying support for Stricter Gun Control Legislation.

Yes my Metra commute is much needed . A sanctuary of peace to clear my head. A cozy seat and good book is my homie right now. Right now I’m reading “Can You Stand to be Blessed” by T. D Jakes.. It’s a throwback.

Peep the picture of Jakes with hair lol.

Have a blessed and productive day! I’ll check in with you soon.

Sincerely,

Finding Balance – Update on business moves and life

Leave a comment


Hey Now!!! 


It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on what’s going with me. Not like you’ve been waiting on the edge of your seats but hey I at least owe you an update. 
I get so excited about other people’s hopes dreams and aspirations I often get sidetracked assisting others achieve their goals. The feeling of helping another realize their dreams is amazing. It naturally fuels me to wake up every morning and conquer another goal. I’ve come to the realization that no one is going to bring MY DREAMS to light but me. Saying them out loud, creating business plans and time lines is great but if I’m not taking any actions than its all a waste of paper and space on my laptop. 
Action, Focus and Follow through is what it takes to bring my vision to life. To save you time and your eyes from straining to read my long list of aspirations. I’ll list what’s I’m dabbling in these days.
•               Getting a grip on marriage. My husband and I are learning to work as a team to achieve longterm goals.
•               Catching up to my son’s comprehension of life. He knows way more than I think he knows
•               Joined a travel membership club. World Ventures allows me to travel with my friends for Costco prices. My family is in need of a vacation 🙂  http://lachanel.dreamtripslife.com/dreamtripslife
•               Perfecting the art of Marketing as the Marketing Manager for What’s Funny Live. Check out the weekly comedy shows. www.whatsfunnylive.com
•               In talks with a well known radio station to handle marketing for an upcoming event.
•               Working on turning my 1st love ‘dancing’ into a profitable biz. You’ll hear more about this real soon.
•               My t-shirt line has really taken off, now I’m hustling to keep up with the growth.
I have about 5 more things. Lets leave something to the imagination. HaHa. I feel better now, like best friends that haven’t spoken to each other in months.

I’m growing, failing, succeeding, growing and progressing just like you. You’re not alone sweetheart. There are many small battles to be won before we get our big break.
Check out the businesses I’m working with now. If something interest you shoot me an email. chanel@bgrise2power.com
Many Blessing!!! 
Keep moving forward.
