Spring Cleaning!
Hello Lovelies!

Spring is here and I am excited! Why, you might ask.....well it is a refreshing time of year. During this time of year "Spring" cleaning takes place. Well, it doesn't have to be spring in order for you to take part in cleaning, but this is giving me the opportunity to bring this action to your attention.
It's time to cleanse/clean yourself, your house, your car, your LIFE! Yes! It is time to do some much needed cleansing and cleaning. Once you clean out the junk, the clutter, the unnecessary items, and cleanse your mind you will have space to receive newness.
Why you would want to pile the newness on old things; junk? Prepare your storage, your closet, your mind and your life for the new things that are on the horizon. Clean up. Cleanse your spirit and your mind. You might wonder, well how do I go about doing that? Well you have to change the way you think. You have to change the way you see yourself; your life. I have given you examples of things that you can clean or cleanse, but for the purpose of this post I want to talk about getting your spirit/mind cleansed.
What is it that you really want out of this life that you are only going to live ONCE? Before you answer that, you need to really think about it. Search deep within. What hurt are you holding on to? What is that one thing that is lingering around that is keeping your from moving to the next level? How does it make you feel? What is your daily language like when you get into that HURTFUL, UNCOMFORTABLE, UNBEARABLE place?
See, you have to get to the root of the problem. Many people stay on the surface and down play what is really bothering them. Now, do you think that you deserve what it is that you want? Let me tell you that you do deserve to be HAPPY, DEBT FREE, SAVED, FULFILLED, JOYFUL, PAID IN FULL, SINGLE, MARRIED, etc. You deserve to get what you want out of life. It all starts with you mindset. You have to change the way that you think because THOUGHTS ARE THINGS. They are. You become what you think about.
I challenge you to become aware of your thoughts and your words. This is very important. Anytime a negative thought arises, replace it with a positive one. It can be for the simplest of thoughts. Think before you speak.
So let's get busy with cleansing our minds of destructive and negative thoughts.
This week I would like for you to take notes on your thoughts that are negative, destructive, hurtful, harmful...... I urge you to do this and at the end of the week you will be surprised at what goes through your mind. This is going to help you with your mind awareness. Fix it by replacing those thought with new and positive thoughts.
You can do it. Believe in yourself!

Eviction Notice is Served
Happy Monday Lovelies!
I come to you today bearing inspirational food for thought. Enjoy!
The greatness about an eviction is that you are forced to see the "New" you. You are forced to take all of your belongings and either get rid of them (baggage) or take them with you. Eviction causes you to slim down i.e. get rid of things, people, problems etc. Eviction may as well have the adverse effects....stress, depression, unhealthy weight gain/loss, self-esteem issues and more. It is up to you to navigate to a place of HAPPINESS before, during, and after an eviction.
What or who are you being evicted from? You don't have to look far or take a long time to figure why or what is the cause of your eviction. Allow yourself to be evicted from toxic relationships. Allow yourself to be evicted from debt. Allow yourself to be evicted from past hurts. Allow yourself to be evicted from wrong doings. Allow yourself to be evicted from YOU. Wow! Yes, you. Your mind can hold your future hostage. You tell yourself "I can't" when in essence you can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens you.
Control your thoughts. You become what you think about. Take self-inventory and monitor your thoughts today. I challenge you to replace every negative thought with a positive one. Even if it is about your self, your job, your spouse, your parents, your care whatever it may be. Replace that though with a positive one and mean it.
You do know that you have the power to do that, don't you? SPEAK life. SPEAK positively. SPEAK the things you want into existence and BELIEVE that those things WILL manifest. Put ACTIONS behind your SPEAKING. Act as if you already have what you have spoken. FEEL it in your soul. If you want more self-love, begin by taking care of yourself. Get a checkup. Eat healthier. Do nice things for yourself. Care about your appearance. Your body is a temple. It is sacred.
Feed you mind and spirit by meditating, listening to motivators on topics that interest you, reading the Bible and inspirational books and articles.
Let go of the past and move ahead into your future. Faith without WORKS is dead. SPEAK it. BELIEVE it. WORK it.

Financially Fit in 2014
Happy New Year Lovelies!!
I hope that your holidays were AWESOME! You know, now is the time of year where people focus on goal setting and change. Everyone focuses on different aspects of their lives depending on how well or not so well the progress was in the previous year. Of course I will be helping you all get physically fit and healthy, but I wanted to take the time to provide you with a tool to assist you in becoming financially fit.
It is very important that you are financially fit, because it provides you a way of life which includes food, shelter, leisure, entertainment. etc. I am by no means a consultant, accountant, or financial analyst. I am providing you this information from my own research and personal experience. There are key ingredients to consider when focusing on getting fit. They include:
You have to write out all of your expenses down to how much you spend at the vending machine. Just be honest. You can even take your monthly bank statement and find out where all of your money is going. Some banks even provide you with a summary of your spending. Use this if it is available to you. Next, set a budget after you have reviewed your expenses. Write down how much you want to save per week or per month and then work from there. Once you set your budget, abide by it for a month and then assess your budgeting for the month. If changes need to be made, make those adjustments and follow the new budget for the next month. Once you have a sustainable budget in place, FOLLOW IT.
You have to hold yourself accountable.
Here is an example of a monthly tool you can download and use. There are plenty out there including daily and weekly tracking tools as well.
You have to start somewhere. Go ahead and get started today. There isn't a better time for you to begin. Start NOW.
