One of my favorite reads is the book Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive by T.D. Jakes. It is life changing! The book, Instinct, offers tips on how to find your "core" or true purpose and taps into ways to maximize it. Many successful people state that they experienced their best success when they were true to their own genuine self and didn't try to duplicate others. How many times have we done that?

Now as we embark toward the end of the year, does it seem a little disappointing because the fervor and excitement at the beginning of the year have somewhat diminished? Maybe during the middle of the year, those hopes seemed very distant and unreachable for you. It could be because of u

Hebrews 11:1 – Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:6 – But without faith, it is impossible to please Him for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.   As I reviewed and bid my final farewell to 2016, I was amazed at my growth from the spiritual, personal and professional perspectives.  2015 and 2016 were both very challenging years for me. I faced decisions that presented themselves as critical crossroads for me. I had to end relationships that turned out to be destructive. I also had to face the realities of many my age with senior care for my aging mother while trying to navigate my business. I also had to decide on whether or not to continue the business or to go back to working for a company.  The challenge was that my prior profession would require 50-60 hour weeks that I would now be unable to manage as I cared for my mother. I was at a crossro
