When you write from your real-life experiences, especially as a Christian woman, you serve a higher purpose. Your story may help someone heal or even lead them to a decision.

She understood that faith and business are under one kingdom system. They're meant to work together.

If you don't write your book, life will go on. You'll keep building. You'll keep showing up. But you'll also keep wondering: "What if I had said yes" to the opportunity to be a published author?

Sometimes He says move—and trust Me on the way.

This is a perfect time to prioritize self-care, whether you or someone you love has been affected by breast cancer. Taking care of yourself, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, can be empowering in any season of life.

Blessed are the risk takers...who wants to be ordinary? Not the life-winner who has a big vision. Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing terrible about being normal if that’s what you want. But if you have big dreams, big ideas, and aspirations to do something great in this world, then ordinary is not enough for you.

Many people face challenging situations that they overcome in significant ways but fail to recognize the details as beneficial to their next phase. Let's keep it in perspective. You may need those details to help you do your next great exploits or to help someone succeed in their life's focus.

Had I done life my way, several events would be quite different. I would not have the wonderful experiences of that 30-year period of time. I would not have these amazing children. My path perhaps would have been altered and who knows what the end results would have been.

Grace is simply given. We CANNOT say that any actions we’ve taken has earned us the grace of God. As a matter of fact, it’s more accurate to say that we did wrong and God extended to us His grace.

Consideration is just another way to live out Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen. This motto is important to the Ritz-Carlton brand. Employees know their guests by name…The extra details are a sign that the customer is important. The customer can do the same for the ‘servant.’ Extend unexpected courtesies.

My encouragement to you is to change the way you think. Change the words you choose to speak. You’ll then see change in the life you live. Trust me, our actions line up with what we think.

Take a pulse of where you are with your life; spiritual, social, relationships, and financial…Create new, better memories. Make the remainder of 2020 the best half of the 1st year of this new decade. You can do it!!!
