~HeartSpeak~ July 15, 2012 


God has been confirming so many things in my life this week. I am under the mentor-ship of another phenomenal woman by His grace and will be back again this evening being mentored by my Pastor Paula White on the very thing we all need to focus on- MINDSET and understanding how we, in order to achieve great success, we must see ourselves there daily in our minds. Not purposely, there was a time when I could not understand how God would want to use a little girl from Bagdad, FL to achieve the things He placed in my spirit. Perhaps I thought I wasn't worthy. Perhaps because of what others have said about me over the years, I thought it was too big but no more! I am embracing HIS vision and HIS will for my life! I am making myself available to Him 100%. Joel Osteen said, "What you put before you will affect you!" so every day and night before I go to bed I will look at my vision board and continue seeing myself where God showed me He was taking me many years ago. The messages  are loud and clear. I just spent time the last hour not only writing out my goals, but also mapping out how I am going to get there! Personal, Business and Financial! I have always written my goals but this time I have gone really in-depth on how I WILL achieve them!

If God has been speaking to your heart and shown you what He wants to do and where He wants you to be, do not let fear keep you from stepping into your destiny. Do not let another person tell you who you can be and what you can do! You belong to GOD!

There will be a lot of changes going on the last half of the year for me and I do intend to finish strong! Many will not understand or support me but that is ok. I celebrate the victories of everyone! Just as Pastor Paula said this morning, how can a person say they love God and hate and not celebrate humanity?! If you hate someone because of their skin color, sex, religion and yes, political background, you are a liar and the truth is not in you! Do something to change that today, not tomorrow!

On the business tip, I am looking for 5 people and only 5 who are seriously looking for a vehicle for freedom and financial success. It is not about just the money, but paying off bills, being able to give more to charity, taking care of your family and just having more choices in life. If you are serious, let's get together and talk! I know God will use me to change many lives, whether you will be one of them  is up to you and no one else.


Whatever you do, understand that when you take advice from other people, you are buying into their life style. It's time to stop taking advice from those who have never been where you are trying to go! Many times people will let one person make decisions in their lives and one day wake up with regrets!

This was on my heart to share today and as anyone who follows my posts knows, I speak to you when my  heart speaks to me! I will post more as the second half of the year progresses and update you on how close I am to achieving my goals! One step at a time, one day at a time, everything will happen for me! I am doing my part to make sure it does! ;-)

Wishing you peace, light and all the love you can hold!

Until next time...

New Year- New You! Time To Put The Lid On The Trash Can!

Happy New Year everyone! Just wanted to drop in with another Heartspeak to start off 2012!

Ever notice how you can be in great spirits and you get a phone call from one of the negative people in your life and it just sours your entire mood? What about people who constantly complain about everything in their lives, including all the people in it and never have anything good to say?

Those who have been around me long enough know that a common phrase of mine is "Guard your gates!" What I mean by that is be careful what and WHO you expose yourself to! Bad attitudes of others and other negative energy just fights against your positive energy and if you are not careful, you will find yourself unhappy too! Whoever said first that "misery loves company" definitely knew what they were talking about!

There are a few ways you can protect your positive space. First, you have to recognize the sources. Pay attention to your emotions. When you are happy, make a note of what made you feel happy. When you find yourself feeling upset, make a note of that as well. Next, adjust your attitude. Many times its how we look at things that determines the degree they will affect us and also how quickly we will recover from them. A lot of us go through life just letting things upset us and acting as if we have no control over the affects others have on us. This is not true. You have to protect your space like a guard dog and be determined that you will not give anyone that kind of power over you. This does not happen overnight, trust me! It takes practice. Since no one is perfect, there may be times you are caught off guard but the key is being more aware of  your environment and the people around you and take an honest assessment of what is positive and what is not!

You do not have to be anyone's garbage can!  That is exactly how you act when you continue to allow others to dump their negativity on you. It's time to put the lid on the can. We each have to be accountable for our own actions.  I am by no means telling you to turn your back on anyone but a person has to be willing to change for themselves. Encourage them, pray for them but sometimes you will find that the best thing to do is limit or even eliminate the time you spend with them. If they are keeping you from moving forward in life and keeping you from growing, sometimes you have to make the hard decision to let them go. The choice will always be yours!

If you want more positive energy in your life, you will need to make a conscious effort to focus and meditate on the positive things you want more of. This is why I asked you to write down the things that make you happy earlier. Avoid the things that make you unhappy. Do not think about them. Instead think about what brings you JOY! Hopefully I have shared a few tips that will help someone, even if only one. I am extremely thankful to be at a place where I can focus on my blessings and just being happy. That does not mean that things do not happen that I would not like in life. It just means I have made the decision that come what may, I will not allow it to keep me at a place of unhappiness. I have so much to be thankful for.

Wishing you all a year filled with JOY, blessings and love!

Until next time!

I am
