I'd like to call your attention today to a very powerful tool that each and everyone of us has innately within us.....it is the power to spread our love and joy to others!
"Every person deserves to live a wonderful life and they have the power to do that through the sheer power of their thoughts and the law of attraction. See, when you tend to your happiness and joy, something wonderful happens. You begin to overflow with joy, and every single person you come in contact with is touched by your joy."
-The Secret
You ever notice how when someone calls you up and tells you something good that has happened to them, if you are genuinely grateful for them, you start to feel really good to? Have you ever wondered why it is that when something good happens to a loved one and they share it wth you, all of a sudden, things start going really well for you as well?
It is no secret that in order to manifest, create and achieve something amazing in your life, your thoughts, actions and emotions have got to be a on a positive frequency...that is the only way you are consciously able to manifest good things...this is why it's so important to be around positive, like-minded people as much as possible. For it is through these positive interactions that your life will begin to change in the ways that you want it to....positive energy = magnet, it draws more positive people to you...so wont you become a magnet today and spread your Joy to others, it could be something simple....like saying good morning or a chipper Hello! to that person you hardly ever speak to in your office.......you'll be surprised at all of the positive spillover effects your being a beam of sunshine can have on others, as well as, come on! you know yourself; CANT HURT TO TRY!
Sending you light, love and hugs,

Thoughts are Things....
Just a little something to think about as you start off your week folks! Let’s not forget that thoughts usually turn into things....and those things usually translate into money,happiness, creativity and health or lack thereof If you're constantly thinking like a "negative Nellie" lol! Never underestimate the power of a positive mind!
Whatever financial situation you are currently in, it is one that you have brought into reality through your thoughts and actions. If it is not what you want, then you have created it unconsciously, but still you’ve created it. When you can see this you will understand how powerful you are at creating. And now all you have to do is create what you want, consciously!
Rhonda Byrne
author of The Secret
Plainly said, we are what we think we are. If we believe that we are broke and constantly say we are “broke” then we will be......never, ever, ever, underestimate the power of your words or your thoughts!
The power of self reflection is amazing when applied in a positive way so watch your thoughts folks and please remember that .....reflecting is good for the Soul and as I always say...What’s good for the Soul is Smart!

Reality Check 101
O.K. So I am turning 33 tomorrow and oddly enough, I find myself, quite often reflecting on life. Suddenly I've been hit with an epiphany about it....brace yourself because what I am about to say may not appeal to most folks but then again, reality is quite often not a pleasant thing for the average person.
As I reflect on my accomplishments in my short few years here I realize that there are a few things that are vital to the individual's success on this glorious planet earth.
1. make good friends; they are few and far between and darn hard to come by
2. create a sense of happiness and peace within, this will take you far...
3. be grateful for what you have right now
4. always keep your eyes open to reality; no sense in dreaming, else you get left behind
5. love the skin you're in, you only have one you so make it the best you that you possibly can
See, most folks go through life going through the motions and accepting what is dealt to them. I have always gone the opposite of that and to date it has gained me a great deal of experience. This has given mea great deal of personal and professional development. I realize I am a uniquely resilient individual, there is noyone on this planet quite like me. Despite the fact that I deal with a myriad of dillemas and obstacles, that can be quite debilitating at times, I have been able to persevere in things that I put my mind to. Doing so has usually taken a great deal of planning and thinking on my part. It's when I dont think and plan that I get into trouble.
What I've learned is that people who come from controlled and structured environments are able to thrive above and beyond whatever obstacles are presented to them because they have a keen sense of reality. It is this sense of reality that propels them to consistently acquire things and ultimately achieve whatever goals they set for themselves. These folks have a tendency to set goals for themselves slowly, they are like the tortoise who consistently beats the hare because they take the time to think out their objectives and are patient enough to bid their time and make moves when the time is right.
See, the truth is that most of us take on jobs and situations that will keep us occupied because we are scared to do the thinking that will propell us towards fulfillment. Such is the case for many low-income or middle-class Americans. Those whom sit at the top of the income food chain per-se are financially stable enough to give themselves peace of mind, their minds are not preoccupied with responsibilities that threaten to overwhelm them at every turn. For the average person, the creative time needed to reflect and move forward usually comes at the change of a job situation, but rather than reflect and take a little time to do some thinking, we jump into another job out of fear. This fear of losing all that we have is what keeps us stagnant and running in place, oftentimes working the same job for a lifetime or most of our lives and living truly unfulfilled lives. We deal with toxic people and keep them around because we want a sense of safety and tolerate all kinds of crap because we simply wont let go of our fear to dream and do something different.
Now, most folks think I am a little crazy for starting a company in the misdt of a recession and to be honest, I have had my doubts. The more I look around and see the depressive state that most folks are in, I wonder and loathe the idea of going back to working in a crazy environment, whether it be public or private. I recognize that my strongest talent is that of writting, researching and motivating people. Simply put, I know my strenghths and my only job right now is to learn how to make those strenghs work for me. So I challenge you to reflect on your life today and give yourself a reality check....ask yourself, are you truly happy? There is no such thing as eternal bliss on this earth, from what I understand, this is something that we will ultimately reach after death. In the meantime, there is always your personal happiness today, in the present, in the here and now...so I urge you to reflect and think about YOU today! Ask yourself, what are my strenghths? What makes me happy? and finally, How can I apply my strenghths to propel me to more fulfillment and joy in life. Trust me, it's not an easy thing to do but it is definitely possible, if you just try....besides, knowing yourself is good for the Soul....and as I always say: What's good for the Soul is Smart!

It's TAX SEASON! Advantages to paying Uncle Sam
Good day folks!
Today the discussion is centered around the importance of paying Uncle Sam....yes I know, most of us look at tax season as that grueling time when we have to pay our fair or unfair share to this wonderful country of opportunity. I would like to share with you a few links that will help you get through this tax season seamlessly if you take a few moments to do things right.
Now, if you're income is above $49,000, then it is most advantageous to take the horse by the reins and file your taxes as soon as you can. Doing so will make you feel better and more secure about your financial life...you may be asking "How?" Well, the reality is that if you have to pay up, which most of you will, then it is best to do so sooner rather than later. Avoiding the little things that can catch up with you later makes good sense and will surely give you a sense of peace and accomplishment.
Most individuals will usually use and accountant or a professional tax service like H& R Block and although these mediums are great if you dont want to deal with it, it's best to take some time and file your taxes yourself...it's easy and most tax programs like TurboTax will allow you to do so online for free....so as you get ready to file your taxes, do so with a smile and take a plunge and do it yourslef, it cant hurt to try it just once , you'll save a great deal of money as well.
If you are a business owner, have bank or mortgage interest or foreign trusts then it is probably a good idea to seek outside help. H&R Block offers a great service called Second Look that allows you to file your taxes on your own and affords you a guarantee of up to $5K , which they will pay on your behalf if you have made a mistake and the best part is that it's only $30.00. Big diffenrece from the few hundred or even thousands you'd have to pay a tax attourney or accountant.
I urge you to give it a whirl, either way you cant lose and it's a great opportunitty to get a sense of your financial outlook for the previous year. If nothing else, you'll feel great about yourself, an essential component ot all success........ for sure, it's good for the Soul folks and as I always say, What's good for the Soul is Smart!

FAMILY MATTERS YA'LL!
Today I had the pleasure of working out with my family and to be honest, it reminded me of exactly why I get up and grind hard every day. See, I’m a single mom of three. I am raising two beautiful teenagers and an outspoken eight year old who can drive me bananas some days. Couple that with the fact that my love life is nearly stagnant, it’s enough to drive me batty and not appreciate the beautiful blessings that god gave me so long ago.
See, most of us take advantage of the fact that we have family.......we have family ya’ll! So as I hit the YMCA with my clan and I watch my little guy running on the treadmill trying to keep up with mom, it only makes me wonder, Why did I not think to do this before?
Perhaps it’s because I work 10 hour days and by the time I get home I just want to pass out? You know, I honestly think the American way of life is designed to keep families apart, I mean honestly, if mom’s at work and so is dad and they’re both emotionally unavailable, where does that leave the kids?
So to all my parents out there, I leave you with a tidbit to reflect upon.... the next time you get a chance, spend some quality time with the kiddos, no matter how old they are. Believe me, the older they get, the more they need you, so find some creative ways to share the best of you with them, even if it's taking funny pictures before you go to church! (hope ya'll liked the pic)..... it’s worth it and good for the Soul, you know! So read and enjoy the following quotes because I looked them up just for you and always REMEMBER...... what’s good for the SOUL is SMART!
Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.
-- Anthony Brandt
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
-- Desmond Tutu
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
-- Jim Rohn

Eliminate Hate and Experience the Abundance You Will Create!
Ever wonder why from time to time we will see or experience a reappearance of the things we dislike in our lives? Sometimes it seems like the more we say we dislike something or hate something or someone, it or they wll make it’s make into our thinking and life experience time and time again? Well, if what The Secret book says is true, then, it seems like the more we say or think we hate something, the more it will manifest in our lives in the ways that we least expect them. Here’s an excerpt we can mull over further......
The law of attraction cannot change anything in your life that you hate, because hate prevents the change from coming. Since the law is giving us exactly what we are putting out, when you hate something, the law must continue to give you more of what you hate. You will not be able to move away from it. Love is the only way.
If you focus completely on the things you love, you are on your way to a beautiful life.
Rhonda Byrne
Author of The Secret
Ironically, most people thought Martin Luther King was crazy for promoting non-violence and love for one another as a means to achieve world peace, equality and brotherly love. See, the circumstances folks faced in the 30’s ,40’s and 50’s were pretty dire and inhumane, for the most part. Participants n the Civil Rights Era had every reason to hate their oppressors, but rather than focus on hate, they focused on exercising Agape Love, a different frame of thinking where love for one another is the central focus. It was Martin’s deep love for humanity that allowed a movement of such magnitude to take shape and create the massive political, social and economic changes that came about in that era.
See, when we apply this concept of approaching all things with love in our hearts, the changes we’d like to experience in our lives can be attained that much quicker. When we approach problems and obstacles with love anything is possible. So remember this tidbit the next time you’re experiencing a dilemma whether it be in a personal or professional relationship or situation....the more love we have in our hearts, the easier it will be to find solutions because were coming to the table with a positive attitude understanding that all change has one of two outcomes...either positive or negative.
So why not approach everything with a positive attitude and a premise of love first. Love yourself enough to experience the amazing way in which obstacles and dilemmas you thought would never have a resolution will gradually dissipate and resolve themselves......experience the power of love and positivity today folks! Your heart will thank you for it! If nothing else, it’s good for the Soul folks! And as I always say, What’s good for the SOUL is SMART!

Ask For Others and See the Abundance Increase In Your Life!
Today I have the pleasure of sharing a daily quote from Rhonda Byrne, the infamous author of The Secret. She sent a really inspiring text regarding how together we can achieve more and truly get what we want for ourselves and others. Now, I know most folks have a hard time praying and asking the divine force to lead and guide them through adversities and obstacles to achieve great success, but ironically, Rhonda brings an interesting and useful concept to light, I share it with you in the following excerpt, just a little something to do if you’d like to increase the abundance and blessings in your life, she says.........
What is the most powerful thing you can add to the process of creating what you want? Ask for others, as you ask for yourself. An easy way to do this is to ask for ALL, which of course, includes you. Ask for a good life for all, peace for all, abundance for all, health for all, love for all, and happiness for all.
When you ask for others, it comes back to you, so the law of attraction is always working and has it ALL covered.
Rhonda Byrne
Author of The Secret
I know this concept is so simple, it’s hard to think that something as simple as asking for health, wealth, peace and abundance for all, could actually work. But think of this, if you and all of your loved ones were consistently asking for good things for all of you, that directed energy gets transformed to generate the type of positive energy that can transform a person indefinitely. Dont get me wrong here, good things don’t come overnight, but directed, focused prayer and positive attitude are key and essential in getting what you want....so, next time you sit down to talk to that almighty being (our creator), pray for everyone around you and in your life, ask others to do the same, and you’ll see and feel the difference in your life gradually.
As you begin to pray for good things for everyone around you and not just yourself, you’ll see how the law of attraction will bring more people and create more situations for you to manifest what you want to be, do and have....if not for anything else, you’ll feel better after having experienced asking for things for everyone and not you alone.....I urge you to try it and experience the difference you’ll feel when you send positive, loving thoughts out to others, as well as yourself, it cant hurt to try. Besides, spending a little time asking for good things and building up hope is good for the SOUL folks, and as I always say, what’s good for the SOUL is SMART!
Sending you hugs and love,
Niurka
