SUPER HAPPY

So this weekend was amazing, and it keeps going!!! I think I want to This week coming is going to be extremely busy for me, so I am going to create a new project called "My Week In Pictures" where I will post pictures from what I have done....a snapshot into my life!!! Today though, I wanted to post a Devotion from Joel & Victoria Osteen. Enjoy! 

                                                        

Closer Than You Think TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” (Hebrews 10:35, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Have you been praying and believing for something that seems like it’s taking a lot longer than you thought? Many times, people can miss God’s best simply because they give up before they see their “due season” come. Don’t let that be you! Be encouraged today, your answer is closer than you think. If it seems like things are getting more difficult, remember, when the intensity heats up, that means you are closer to your victory. It’s always darkest just before the dawn arrives. You serve a faithful God, and He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. Don’t cast away your confidence today because your reward is coming. And just like a new mother forgets about her labor pain when she is finally holding her newborn, you’ll forget about your struggle when you are holding on to your promise. While you are waiting, keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. Wake up every morning and say out loud, “I’ve come too far to give up now. My due season is coming. I will reap my harvest.” Stay in faith and look for His hand of blessing because He has promised you victory, and it’s closer than you think! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father in heaven, today I stand believing that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your strength to continue believing until I see Your promises fulfilled in my life in Jesus’ name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen

BIRTHDAYS, BRUNCHES, AND BUSINESS

BIRTHDAYS, BRUNCHES, AND BUSINESS

Happy  Birthday to MEEEEE! 

  Tomorrow, June 16, is the celebration of my birthday! I love celebrating other people's birthdays, but this year, I am told I have many surprises in store. I already saw one last night! Being super excited for surprises that are coming my way, I am going to dress for the occasions! Yes occasion with an "s"! I am not sure what I am doing, but I want to be prepared...I think these are some of my outfit choices: 

Relaxed Maxi Dress for a ""Chill Outing"

Blue & White Blazer over a short white dress! 

I'll fit these in somewhere!!

PS- Happy Birthday Tupac!

New Business Ventures

   God has been making moves in my life and I LOVE IT! I started a new business venture and it is TAKING OFF in a very short amount of time. The best part is that it is in agreement with my household, relationships, and other life pursuits. In respecting the gift, I am vowing to stay organized, and my first step is going back to making my LIST..yes- The List..for anyone that juggles multiple tasks at once (ie... being a mother or entrepreneur...or both lol), keeping up with your LIST is important...it helps to track what you are doing, what you need to do, and what you want to do....I used to make lists ALL the time, but I have been a bit lazy lately! So, I am turning over a new leaf...here is THE LIST! 

So in true "me" fashion, I've been extremely busy, but it has given me time to successfully think...about a lot. I believe we all have times in our lives where we need to stop the wheels from spinning and just think...My goal for my life is to live in my truth...I don't want to just live in my truth, I want to breathe, swim, snorkel and errthang lol. Part of that is understanding my truth with others..like "Why is this person my friend?" or "Why did I say yes to doing this thing I don't want to do?" I often scold myself on the second one, because God does not like us to do things in vain...so I am on a mission to continue to search for truth in all that I do...painful at times, the truth and being true to thine self is one of the great accomplishments of life....

GETTING IN THE ZONE

Soooo, today marks Day #2 of my running/working out. I used to run track & Cross Country in high school (thanks for making me Dad), so my body can snap back a little easier (because of muscle memory)....but it takes some work! The biggest part of training is CONSISTENCY! Even if you just run a mile everyday, your body will start to change quicker than doing an intense workout...every other week. I am surrounded by trainers also!!! My best friend is a personal trainer, and a good friend and former classmate has her own Boot Camps called Fab Body Workout (follow her on twitter @FabBodyWorkout)...anyhoooo like most women, my abs are the target! Less than 9 year ago, I definitely had a BANGING six pack...I won't tell you what "pack" I'm on now lolol....Once you get older, it is so much harder, but if "they" can do it, I can....I love to run and listen to music or do a circuit training with other people, so that's what I'll do! Tomorrow, I'll talk diet lol! 

Writing in the studio...

My inspiration for writing in the studio came from this song :-)
