You can't stop my flow......

Good Friday to you all!! I know, I know, it's late getting to you. But, never fear Heather is here to give you your weekend motivation! Ever wondered why so many people look at you when you have a dream or idea as if it is unobtainable, or that you won't be able to make it if you stepped out of the box and did something different? Well, I'm here to answer that very question and put your mind at ease. Dream Killers is what they are called i.e: Those who look for others to fail or wishes for one not to succeed in order to show themselves credible. In other words those that wish they were you and can't for the life of them figure out why it is you're as blessed as you are. Now keep in mind a dream killer can be your friend, an associate, classmate, or even your family (it happens to the best of us). Today I wanted to give you the motivation to notice one of these posers and what to do when you encounter them. #1. If someone you hold near and dear says to you; "I will believe it when I see it", that my friend is a dream killer. #2. If they find every reason in the book why you shouldn't step out on faith and take a chance on your dreams. #3. If they can't find the joy in you doing something no one else had the courage to do you might just have found your dream killer. I've learned in my new beginning that everyone won't be happy for you and everyone won't see what you see when it comes to your visions and goals. but, be mindful of those people and keep them at bay because it's sad to say you may soon have to separate yourself from those very people. When God elevates you, be it spiritual, financially, educationally, or any other way your entire atmosphere has to adjust to the shift! That means you may lose a friend, a loved one, a family member along the way, but in the end you will know that they were not built for your new season. It also helps you in the future to notice these things before hand and as my Bishop says; "When I see crazy I cross the street". It's ok to love those people from a distance, it's okay to still speak and show them love when you see them. But, don't let these people be the death of you because they don't believe in you! Every time you are elevated take some time to evaluate the people who are around you. If they are not moving in the same direction as you are or taking notice of what it is you have been blessed with and wanting to know what it is they can do to get there too. Control+Alt+Delete!! The saying is true; "Birds of a feather, flock together". Have a great weekend and remember: "Your past is your past, so after you have dropped it off and left it don't go back and pick it up! Your future is bright"!

It's HUMP Day!!!

Good morning! I've had a great week so far. Sunday was very inspirational as well as trying. A classmate of mine passed away; a mother, a daughter, a sister,  a friend, a joy to have ever met. Angela Suttles will be missed. Went to service with expectancy and God showed up unlike no other. something about when you are at your lowest, how God comes in and reminds you of the treasure you are. I'm thankful today just for the opportunity at getting another day to wake up and kiss my daughter and tell her "I love you". Sometimes we take for granted that in a second, an instance everything can change. Monday was my birthday and as I celebrated life my heart went out to those children who lost their mother, that mother who lost her daughter, and those siblings who lost their sister. I realize death is inevitable, but the process of healing from it has its struggles and setbacks. Don't ever get so comfortable with life that you forget to be thankful for what it is God has given you; even the little things. I'm constantly growing and with that I have a better understanding of the way my life should be. I recently dealt with losing a relationship that I held dear to my heart and I couldn't for the life of me understand why. After praying and seeking direction and insight about it all I found that we lose things in life sometimes for the good of us and where we are headed. Loss either breaks you or strengthens you. Remember who you are and don't lose sight of Him even in your storms. Live, Life, Love, and Laugh.... There is a time and a season for everything. It's Wednesday people, continue to chase pavements. Smile it gets better from here!

The mind is a terrible thing to waste...

So much going on in the news and in the world today. Makes me wonder how can I find happiness in everything good that is going on for me. When you know better, you do better and I've learned that in knowing better; that's just part of the task. Actions speaks louder than words and what is knowledge without putting all that you know to work? Today was a day of reflection for me, looking in the mirror and accepting what i see and I'm here to tell you I didn't like some of what was looking back at me. But, now I know what needs to be adjusted and with that I may be able to be a better person in it all. Change is always good, but it takes a made up mind to make it happen. Be the blessing you already are...

It's A "S.H.E." Thing...

Hello! I've been on a fast this week and I also have been busy with works to get things locked in for a benefit I am having in my hometown of Albany, Ga. Giving and serving has become a platform for me and I didn't quite expect any of it. I am a servant and that's where my heart is; truly God knows best. I've never been this excited to give back in my life and to have two beautiful souls to assist me is more than a blessing! Portia J. Clyde of Portia's got wings and Lashonda "L.B." Brown of P.G.E (pretty girl ent.) have been so helpful and a Godsend. These ladies have a story of their own, so watch out for them both. I've been stuck on the scripture that I got for the website and this is what I will leave with you all. Proverbs 12:13 says; Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. What seeds are you planting? Stay focused and be the blessing that you already are. Check us out on the event website and if you are interested in being apart of this event to raise funds and awareness for cancer and ms (multiple sclerosis)and sign our guestbook while you're there www.wix.com/itsa_shething/benefit also follow us on twitter @itsa_shething email us itsa_shething@yahoo.com and like us on facebook!

Hello, Goodmorning!

My weekend was a very eventful one to say the least. I never knew truly living life would be so amazing until I allowed God to take control. I know, I know I don't wanna bore you with all of this Jesus talk, but if you tried him for yourself I swear you would understand where I was coming from. I remember when I would club every night of the week and give my money to the bartender and the club owner for a couple hours of excitement. But, once I allowed God to take control those things didn't appeal to me like they used to. Now, it's more important for me to give him my time and money that way I know I'm not wasting it. Which leads me to this. How can you look at your giving to God, the one who is the ultimate provider, protector, lover, and keeper of everything that is you as a burden? I used to have a life most people wanted, but if they only knew what it cost me to have they would soon take there thoughts back. I ran from God knowing full well where I belonged and that made it that much harder for me to ignore. Why does it take us hitting that brick wall or losing everything we have to realize it's so much easier to just let go? Whatever we go through God allows it one way or the other and if we are getting by it's because he allows it. But, once he is tired of waiting consequences follow. Being anointed isn't easy and it cost more than most are willing to sacrifice. But, one thing I've learned is that the people who God chooses are not the ones who have it all together. He chooses the ones who have gone through the most and endured the worst because their testimony and lives can be used to help others in such a way that you truly see his power in their capacity to change and be transformed from what "was" to what he has called them to be. Nothing is impossible for God and I don't even know how I got away from talking about giving, but whatever the reason I am going to say to you who may be reading, you may feel like you are not fit to be used, someone may have you thinking you are not worthy and that there is no hope. But, I've been told and have lived and believe that once you make a conscious decision to give things over to a power much stronger than yourself all things begin to work out. But, you have to believe that no matter how they look right now it gets better as the days go by. The encouragement for today is: prayer unlocks the doors, but faith is what will take them off the henges! Be blessed and be a blessing to someone else. Love isn't love until you've given it away!

The jokes on you...

Morning all!! It's Friday!! Some of you have had a wonderful week while some may have had to drag yourself through it all, but regardless of how you finished the week you made it!!! I have been dealing with emotions and feelings lately and whatever I go through I try to make it a learning tool for myself or someone that it may be beneficial to. Let's just say a lot of the things we deal with on a day to day are more emotional than we think. If someone says something that doesn't sit well with you, we immediately act out of emotions. Even if we don't say a word our feelings are activated in that instance. I'm learning to be more mindful of how I allow others to affect me with their words, actions, and impulses. The more you give in to someone else's plot to break your spirit the more power you give that person to manipulate your actions and your words. The easiest way to deal with a problem is to get to the root of it and nip it (in my Barney Fife voice), in the bud! You can kill a  number of things that are meant to make you doubt yourself or feel bad by the responses you give. Instead of getting upset about certain things I in turn redirect that into a positive and you will be surprised at the response you get from those whose aim was to upset your world! In all things you must work smart and not hard. If I would use anything to encourage you on today I would say to you; never underestimate who you are or whose you are. But, to those who don't know about the power of words you should be aware that they can either shape or break your future so use them wisely. Even the people who have talked about you and speculated deserve to be treated kind and yes I am well aware of what I am saying. It's called "forgiveness and love" and it takes some time to get to this point. I am still a student so my learning is constant. Proverbs 18:21 says; "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." So with that being said; What is your daily bread? Are you speaking life or killing spirits? Here is a little inspiration to get your day off to a great one! And as always make tracks in life that no one can cover up.

The point of it all..

Good morning all! This morning I woke up feeling kinda groggy, but never the less I am thankful. Listening to some Rihanna to get my day going and begin to think about relationships. What would be the perfect relationship? I know many of us have different views on what is and what isn't the crem de la crem'. In my quest for growth I have learned so much about myself that I never knew and that changed a lot of the way that I thought about relationships as a whole. Honestly, have you gotten to know the best of you before you decided to get involved with someone? Don't bust your brain trying to answer that question because if your honest the answer is no. I thought I knew myself until I had to be put into a situation where I had no choice but learn to be content and happy alone. Trust me the process wasn't easy because I had never been alone and as far as I can remember I always had a man in my life. I actually felt bad when I found out that I had to cope without what I considered to be security. Trust me in the beginning it was not easy, but as time progressed things got better. Once you begin to accept things about you that others have had to deal with you get a better respect for people in general. A lot of the things I found out about myself were not good, but me being alone has given me time to work on those things. How can we be good for or with someone when we are not happy with ourselves? I wonder if we ever stop to say "let me make sure I'm ready" instead of just making decisions based on our emotions as we often times do. I was so clouded at one point in life that I really didn't know what love was and when it came to me genuinly in the form of a relationship I didn't know how to process it. So, that lead me to another question. If you have no idea of what love is; how can you receive it without thinking there are motives behind it or be able to give that same love back? These things are not as complicated as they seem, but they are important. My grandmother used to tell us that love is what it does, I have found that to be so true. Love is more than a mere word its an action and to live it and walk in it you have to know that it won't always be the best. We live life and experience a range of things but at the end of the day love is what will remain. So, when you're confused about what you want out of life and where it is you think you should be do a self check and see if you are satisfied with the results you come up with. Have a great day and smile...

Family matters...

I pray you all have enjoyed your holiday and with that your families. I have learned that we don't choose our family, but they teach us more about life and dealing with others better than anyone can. If you can bare ups and downs with family, lies, envy, jealousy, love, hurt, happiness, disappointments, support, neglect, and being talked about; you can handle the world!!! We don't have to like our family but at the end of the day you find the comfort in knowing that no matter what your family will be there. Oh! and just to make it plain your family can be anyone who genuinly shows you love and support and are there for you. Doesn't have to be the family you were birth to and I know I may get alot of flack for that, but it is something to think about. Stay positive and positive will find you.
