In Need of a Jumpstart

Today I registered for Dani Johnson's First Steps to Success seminar that will take place this weekend here in Washington, DC. My friend Danisha, who I met at a Warm Spirit meeting, has been telling me about this seminar for over 6 months and encouraged me to attend. Money is tight but I took the plunge because I need a jumpstart.

I've been stuck in neutral for quite some time. I don't like being in neutral...I enjoy being productive and living life to its fullest. I let myself get overwhelmed by stuff, listening to naysayers who are in their own little rut and living in Excuses Land.

After the historical presidential election, I made a decision to change my circumstances and to lift myself out of Rut Land. The way I see it, Barack Obama was not "supposed" to be President of the United States, but he said "Yes I Can" and he did! If this Black man came from obscurity to the stage of the Democratic National Convention in 2004 to living his dream some four years later...I know I can!

The one thing that this recession has reinforced is that no job is secure and relying on your job as the only source of income is foolhardy. Plus, I truly believe in working one's passion. I am really into self-care and self-pampering...I believe that is so important, especially for women. When we take care of ourselves, inside and out, and look good...we feel good. With beautiful braid and loc-styles, we look good (and the compliments make us feel good).

I want to live my passions! I anticipate good results from this seminar. I'll be back to share about it.
