Remember Frosty?

OHHH Frosty the snowman..... Remember the feeling you had as a child at Christmas, the wonderment, the love, fun, excitement, joy? What has happen to that feeling?

Times have changed since we were kids, we are rushing to and from work, staying later hours, sitting in traffic, dealing with stress, helping the kids with homework etc. we often miss the beauty of the season. Are you noticing the homes that have beautiful lights on them?, do you see the pretty Christmas trees that sit in the windows of homes?, are you noticing the Christmas music on the radio?

If you have said no to these, make sure you stop and think back to your childhood and how good this time of year felt to you and embrace it. Enjoy the fact that more people will be happier this time of the year, the music is uplifting, and we want to give more.

I know things are difficult, the economy is affecting everyone but YOU CAN MAKE THE DECISION TO BE HAPPY it's up to you......Make the best choice.

T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc. is the winner!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!! T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc. IS THE WINNER OF THE INFINITE DESIGN WEBSITE CONTEST!!!!! Once again God is truly blessing my business. I entered T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc. in the contest for a free website. I wrote why my business deserved to be the winner of the website and my business was chosen!!!

This website will take my business to new levels. Many of my clients and the clients I would like to work with have a life that exist mostly on the Internet. They are individuals who aren't able to go out and work every day because of their weight. They have no friends and very little family that helps them. I want to be that contact that they can turn to who understands their hurt and pain.

This site will also be the avenue for my business to continue with our Life Skill training classes that I have for teens. The classes conducted include finances, self esteem, how to have good study habits, leadership, and depression just to name a few. T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc. has conducted these classes for Henry, Clayton and Fayette GA counties as well as, in Columbus GA. Two weeks ago I completed the South GA youth summit in Macon, Ga in which I spoke to 200 youth. We have many more seminar's and summits beginning in January 2011!!

I am ready for the territory the Lord is allowing me to enter into!!!

The joy of allowing myself to "feel"

There is nothing like the feeling of true happiness, joy and peace. There are so many wonderful opportunities coming my way for my business that I'm so excited!!

I just wanted to speak today on the joy of truly allowing myself to "feel". Having suffered from obesity my entire life I learned how not to feel anything so that I could survive. Whether it was pain, hurt, and sorrow I wouldn't put myself in the position to feel anything.

I'm so grateful that I am allowing myself to feel joy and walking completely on faith to the journey God has planted my feet on.

JOY COMPLETE JOY....ALLOW YOURSELF TO FEEL AND EMBRACE IT!!

Malcolm's giving heart!!

I had to focus my baby today. He wanted to make sure he was able to particpate in his school's Toy/can food drive. He was so proud that he was able to give. I am so proud of him. He has such a giving heart.
I LOVE YOU MAL!!!!

Women's Empowerment Meeting

I was so excited to be invited to be the keynote speaker at the Women's Empowerment Meeting on Nov 21st, 2010. It was a wonderful meeting for women who are creating their business as well as, women who want to have a business but don't know exactly what steps to take.

Thus, I spoke to the group about staying encouraged, knowing the difference between a business and their purpose. I spoke about how to network with others with the most important key being "listening" not just talking. I gave them information on how to not only have business ideas, but taking that idea and to formulate their business. I enjoyed being among women who understood to create God's promise in your life that one must
"THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX"

It was a wonderful opportunity and it was so important to me to give encouragement to to others. If you have been given a purpose to create don't stop no matter what others say. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. Founders Day

Yesterday November 12th my sorority celebrated our founders day. I posted it all over FB, I spoke with my sorority sisters and met many that I hadn't known that I found while online. It was great.

It took me back to Jackson State University where I pledged and I thought about my weight and how I felt so different from everyone else. Yet, even then I failed terribly in hiding my weight issues but I did whatever I could to over compensate in every other area. I was president of my chapter Alpha Tau for three years. I was respected and know for my detail and order in which I handled our sorority business.

I would look at other young women and felt so sad that I couldn't be like them, and be pretty like them but I was pretty in other ways (my performance).

Make sure you notice your kids, friends, nieces, nephews etc while they are away in college or in high school and now even middle school. Notice there self esteem and how they handle what's going on around them.

As I look back on that time I loved my experience at Jackson State and I am so proud to be a Sigma Gamma Rho, and for the first time in my life I'm proud to be me.

Love who you are, where you are and if you see areas you don't like it's time to change your atmosphere and create the environment you want for yourself!!


Love you sorors....EEEYYYIIPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! "Greater Service Greater Progress"

So many wonderful things are happening for me!! I'm so excited about what God is doing in my life. I choose this picture because I love pictures that show roads that never end. No matter what the the weather, how bleak it may look outside the road will continue.

I am experiencing how their is so much more out there for me. Think whats out there for you......
