PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!

Good morning, time is flying past and we are already at the end of the first month of a new year.  You started out motivated and excited about what the new year will bring.  So let me ask, Do you practice what you preach?  As a parent how many times do you tell your children or your spouse or love ones you can do or be anything you want.  I'm sure, like me, if you had a dollar for every time you've encouraged someone you love to accomplish their dream you would probably never have to work again in life.  Well what about YOU! Have you tried practicing what you tell others to do. To never stop dreaming.  It doesn't matter what your age is. It is NEVER to late to change gears.  The school system could always use new teachers.  New businesses are being openend every day.  In fact more and more people are taking the plunge into business ownership. There is always a demand in the medical field. Nursing is always in demand. That hobby that you do for all your friends is money in the bank for you. Just a few more credits and you'll have your degree what's holding you back.  You continue to tell your children the possibilities of their accomplishments, When will you take your own advice?

You know you have a gift of working with children, and you desire to start a daycare what's stoping you?  That food business is waiting for you to open.  Stop giving your beautiful, delicious cakes away for free. 

What greater example to your family and friends than to Practice What You Preach and accomplish that dream or goal whatever it may be.

You would never tell someone once you get a certain age stop dreaming would you?  Then who told you, you were to old too dream. 

I keep this saying posted on my closet door so that I veiw it every day.


       Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond mesasure.
    It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and Fabulous?

    Actually, who are you not to be?

Start Practicing What You Preach!

RECALCULATING!

THANK GOD for GPS, the best invention since the toaster and microwave. lol ok since light.  For anyone who was living the same spastic life like me who had the great propensitiy to get lost this is the greatest invention EVER!.  What makes it so great is not only will it get you to your desitnation; when your a special Chile like me, who still manages to miss a turn here and there it says loudly RECALCULATING.  That got me to thinking how many times, has life situations had you recalculating.  The beauty of that is ultimately you arrive at your destination safe and sound.  So what I  am saying is relax sometimes you do have to take a detour whether it's planned or not,  If you have faith know that ultimately you arrive at your destination.  Trust that God knows and is directing your purpose (route) we may miss a turn in life maybe in our career choices. Life will have you RECALCULATE.  A failed relationship? RECALCULATING. Children grown and moved out and your home alone, or it's just you and the husband? RECALCULATING.  Now there are no distractions keeping you and hubby from getting re-aquainted. RECALCULATING.  That spare bedroom can now become an office for your new in home business.  RECALCULATING.  So the next time you hear the word RECALCULATING think of it as another way to arrive at a beautiful place.

Be Blessed Always, Diva Val

DON'T JUST TALK ABOUT IT BE ABOUT IT!

Here we are in the second week of the new year, what have you done for yourself lately?  You've set your goals for the year, or you made your resolutions but have you taken any active steps toward achieving those goals or keeping that resolution?  The holiday's are over, have you had a healthy low fat meal?  Have you started exercising, walking, running, weight training anything? Have you cleared your fridge or cabinets of items that would sabatoge your plans.  Or are you sitting around still talking about what you will do for this new year.  Are you discouraged already?  Well my dears how can I say this.  SUCK IT UP! You can sit around flapping your gums as much as you want but that won't get you anywhere in the words of a great expression TALK IS CHEAP!  So stop talking about it and be about it.  Come on get up.  Let's get to it and with it.  This will be one of our greatest years EVER.  Don't just talk about it BE ABOUT IT.

be blessed Always, Diva Val

IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF THE F WORD!

Now I know what you are thinking hold on no she is not cussing and it's the first day of a new year.  No get your mind out the gutter, but when you think about it this is a much dirtier word than you imagine.  The F word i'm talking about is FEAR! corny? whack? think about it; How much further would you be in life if not for the dreaded F word FEAR!  I once heard a very well know Pastor describe fear as FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL.  I thought OMG that was brilliant.  Maybe you are a big brave person who doesn't fear anything well woo woo woo to you.  I however can't make that claim.  There have been times when I have be paralized by fear.  Why is this worth discussing well, I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of being scared.  Scared of failing, Scared that family and friends's opinion won't match my own. Scared I won't add up to other's opinion of who I should be and where I should be.  I've yet to hear ANYONE in business say they started their business with no set backs whatsoever.  As long as Cars have been made you would think they would be perfect by now with no flaws or glitches, and yet year after year there are recalls. Why?  because there are issues that need to be address.  With that being said, do you think car companies will say ooh lawd we made a boo boo we're so afraid we'll stop making cars.  I know it sounds silly but think about it.  I am SICK AND TIRED of allowing Fear to rob me of my purpose.  I have designated this year to be a year of Purpose free from fear.   A baby learning to walk will grab onto whatever they can until they gain the courage to strick out on their own, in the mean time they never stop moving.  It's time to keep moving!  Grab on to Prayer, to your Faith, Family members, good friends, love ones, just keep moving and leave the F word behind. Kick it to the curb! show it the door. 

Serve notice to the F word today it's got to GO, peace to fanga's (lol) Dueces!

Stay Blessed, Diva Val
