(DDQ) Don't Dare QUIT! Do It...AGAIN!

Hey GEM Friend!

It's time for a "big people" conversation.

How adaptable are you with NEW challenges? NEW Opportunities? NEW Approaches?

If you're like me---after one or two attempts of learning NEW technology, a NEW language or anything outside of my comfort zone...I can become frustrated and think to QUIT the entire activity!

Studies from The Personal MBA state it takes 10,000 hours to become an "expert in an ultra-competitive field" but to go from "knowing nothing to being pretty good", actually takes 20 hours!

Don't get frustrated...Don't Quit...simply DO IT AGAIN!!!

 "14 When Elisha was in his last illness, King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” he cried.

15 Elisha told him, “Get a bow and some arrows.” And the king did as he was told. 16 Elisha told him, “Put your hand on the bow,” and Elisha laid his own hands on the...

OMW...The Count Down Starts...NOW!

#familydrama #holidays Nov 08, 2018
 

Hmmm---sitting at the kitchen table starting to make the...LISTS!!!

Recipe Lists....Ingredient Lists...Guest Lists...Uggggh, and of course the CLEANING Lists 

Why? Because it's C-O-M-I-N-G!

 What is it?

It’s the... HOLIDAYS!!!

How Do... YOU... Respond During the Holiday Season [ November to January] amid the numerous festivities, endless eating, countless cantatas/recitals, sappy Hallmark movies, sharpening your "Martha Stewart" ninja skills and painful memories of friends/family no longer with us???!
 
I pray...Don’t let your JOY be stolen this year.
 
The holiday season can be an emotional ROLLER COASTER for the human heart!  After 40 holidays as an adult,  I have the "great high's and the deep low's" of T-shirts on my wall.
 
I discussed this "real world" conundrum with my esteemed colleagues, and we were INSPIRED to invite you to "Avoid JOY Theft: 12 Secrets Your Enemy Doesn't Want You To Know About The...

Embrace The NEW Open Door!

youtube-increase2 Oct 25, 2018
 

Has this happened to you?

This past week at least four friends and/ or colleagues shared ...

"I want to do something NEW...I'm ready for a CHANGE...

A door is opening for me---yet I'm afraid!"

I shook my head...Why?

These are gifted people, people who love sharing their lives with others, yet they were each locked in a trap of NOT KNOWING...

HOW DO I RECEIVE?

HOW DO I PREPARE myself for that door of opportunity WHEN it does open?

I did a conference last spring with Women 4 Change where I specifically addressed this challenge...

Do you know HOW to receive?

Do you know God WANTS to INCREASE His people more and more...the question is...

HOW ARE YOU PREPARING YOURSELF?

Relax...This Is Only A TEST!

 

RELAX, THIS IS ONLY A TEST!

It was the summer of my upcoming 40th birthday. I remember bringing in a stack of mail and slowly opening each envelope after an exhausting workday. At the bottom of the stack was an announcement from our local Recreation Center highlighting the start of Summer Fun Swim classes!  

It grabbed my attention. I enjoy pools, beaches, and lakes…I’m an excellent FLOATER yet the card beckoned me to REALLY learn to swim. A week later I enrolled in Level 1 Adult Swim---learning how to navigate in 3 feet of water with little our nose plugs and floaties---a sight to behold. Like Coach Knute Rockne says---“This is a football”…We heard …This is a pool!

By the end of my first month, I was hooked and couldn’t wait till the next Level of training was available.

Little did I know, God simultaneously used it as a tool to TEST my trust level in Him! In 60 days we progressed from floaties to the breaststroke, the...

Need A Stiff DRINK?!

Greetings GEM Friends, 

The pace of the Western world, the high desire to achieve, the drive to meet goals, the angst to fulfill dreams, the barrage of violent news stories and the luring “seduction” of social media---people go to bed yet STILL scan their phones UNDER the sheets…no wonder we are WEARIED from the inside out!

You may look like a Rihana or Heidi Klum---yet when one is tired from the inside no amount of makeup or “eye concealer” can hide the weariness!

In the midst of this “tug of war”, you are challenged each day to find a rare moment of…REST!

What is the concept, dream, business opportunity or venture placed in your heart?!

Although you may have started or tried numerous times...DON'T GIVE UP! 

Why and How? ---

THERE IS A REST to the people of God!

HE will guide you to the OASIS IN HIM to find rest, refreshment and replenishment to your spirit, your mind, your heart, your emotions and your body. 

He...

Reflection Of Women’s Month…

Uncategorized Jun 07, 2018

Lovely Ladies, CONGRATULATIONS! The world celebrates WOMEN for an entire month (March) and the various societal accomplishments/ contributions made on our behalf.

Yet, in reflection—do you realize the ORIGINAL Celebrator of womankind is her Creator—God?! He celebrates you...year round!

At times does the world, your family or yourself cause you to feel small or less than the best?

Do you find yourself using negative “self-talk” or being your worst critic?!

Let’s go BACK to The Source of the matter…

“And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made(fashioned, formed) into a woman, and He brought her and presented her to the man.”

Genesis 2:22AMPC

The Hebrew word for “MADE” is a powerful one!

It’s the word—BANAH

Genesis 2 uses two different words for the forming and fashioning of the man and the woman. The two words give insight into differences...

Is Your Energy…WASTED?!

confidence peace May 31, 2018

This past weekend I spent a few days at the ocean to get quiet with God, read, reflect and ponder about current life questions.  After 3 days, I realized I had to “come off the mountaintop” and back to the valley of life.

I reluctantly packed my bags, yet am excited about the new opportunities for the upcoming month. The weather forecast stated sunny skies, yet cautioning the listener to beware of road debris from an overnight coastal wind storm. Based on that information, I decided to return home using the interstate highways versus the tree-lined scenic route.

I put on my baseball cap, grabbed my sunglasses, placed my two dogs in the car, loaded the luggage, then said a prayer before pulling out of the parking lot.

Within 20 minutes I was on the sunny interstate cruising at 60 miles per hour with the GPS quoting an ETA of four hours. Thirty miles into the trip in my rearview mirror I notice a car bobbing and weaving in the distance at an accelerated...
