Thursday Thoughts

Good morning
Grace and peace be unto you!

The word for today is per·sist·ence

Which means to have firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

As I watch people in the course of business this is the one characteristic that I see makes the biggest difference between success and failure. Persistence is so important  because everyone will not always understand, agree, or jump on board your great idea. It truly takes you knowing that you know your purpose. What is it that you are called to do? What wakes you up in the morning and keeps you up at night?

Wednesday Word

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you

Receiving a gift is like getting a rare gemstone; any way you look at it, you see beauty refracted. - Proverbs 17:8

Dear friend today I want remind you that you are the gift that the world needs. Your talents, knowledge, and experience can not be shared by anyone else. You are uniquely you. Nobody else has had your life journey that molded and shaped you into the beautiful, exquisite gem that you are.
Yes, to get the most sparkle and shine you must go through some processes that might not feel good but it is cutting off all the excess. Nobody elses brilliance compares to your because you sparkle from every direction. Put an extra pep in your step today. Sparkle just a little brighter today so that someone can see your light.

Monday Motivation

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

I pray that you ate finding yourself blessed on this MLK Day. I just wanted to center our thoughts today around one of his quotes. Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. 

This is so applicable no matter what stage of life you're in. I have heard it said to step afraid, but I prefer to step in faith. See when I walk in faith I'm not walking alone like I am if I walk in fear. Too often we dwell in that place of uncertainty until we become paralyzed by it. Too paralyzed to lift our foot over to our place of blessing. See, it is only when we take that step that we can be set free from the voices that tell us all the negative comments. Each step takes us closer to our goal and further from ties that bind us.  

Take the step. The step toward your education, your business, your marriage, your new home, just step. The first one is difficult but each one after that helps you to build for the next. Before you know it you've conquered that case and your on to the next. Step.

Friday Focus

Good morning
Grace and peace be unto you!

Our focus for this morning is on cervical cancer. The following information and recommendations come from the national cancer association. I am not promoting the shot but it is an option.

Cervical Health Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about how women can protect themselves from HPV (human papillomavirus) and cervical cancer. HPV is a very common infection that spreads through sexual activity, and it causes almost all cases of cervical cancer.

About 79 million Americans currently have HPV. Many people with HPV don’t know they are infected. And each year, more than 11,000 women in the United States get cervical cancer.

The good news?

The HPV vaccine (shots) can prevent HPV.
Cervical cancer can often be prevented with regular screening tests and follow-up care. Cervical cancer screenings can help detect abnormal (changed) cells early, before they turn into cancer. Most deaths from cervical cancer could be prevented by regular screenings and follow-up care
