Ways to be B.A.D. #29: Take Risks

When you know that you need something in life, you have to understand that waiting on the mailman or anyone ELSE, is not getting ready for a positive end result. In order to take risks, you have to be willing to step out (sometimes out of the house), to do this.

A B.A.D person, we know, is BLESSED, ANOINTED AND DESTINED, but to be this BAD person, without any pause in life, is to press when you dont' want to press. Everyday, I look at my life and see how I can do things better than I have. I look at how to step out and take risks.

This picture shows stormy skies, not just cloudy, but STORMY SKIES, and a sign that says risks ahead. This is the epitome of what needs to be done regardless of what everything else looks like.The hurricanes of life will still go on, but the RISKS must be done.

As a business and lifestyle coach, I tell everyone to use their resources when building business. This means use what you have even though you dont' have any money, or you don't have any help/support.

Risks are not about looking foolish; who cares if you look foolish? Risks about ENCOURAGING SELF!

Ways to be B.A.D. #25: Don't Believe the Lies

Every day there is something new coming out to take on or take down the desires of your heart. Someone wants to tell you that you can't be successful or you can't have a business; someone is telling you that you cant' have the desires of your heart, but you can.

Don't believe the lies.



A lie can cause you to be oppressed, then depressed, and not focusing on what you need to grow or obtain that breakthrough. Anything negative is a lie. Anything not pushing towards pursuing your dream is a lie.


DON'T STAND FOR IT; actually DON'T SIT FOR IT. A lie will have you sitting down on your dreams.

Stand up and call the liars a liar to their face, and prove them wrong. You don't have to tell them you'll prove them wrong, just DO IT!!
I have had many people tell me what I couldn't do; I settled and allowed myself to be a victim. I refuse to be that victim ever again. I lost years from life and and building my business because of the negativity and the lies. I set off to prove them wrong.

Set off to prove them wrong. I have you back!

Start rewriting every negative statement into a positive statement and read it over and over each day.

Motherly Wisdom #2: We're Good

The best is in your own 4 walls; don't compare everyone else's triumphs to your trials. 
My mother always compared me to others. I tried never to do that to my children. If they received 4.0's or 0.0's they were still my children and I loved them. I encouraged them and would want to help them achieve what they could for them. In OUR HOUSE, that's what mattered. 

What everyone else could and could not do in THEIR house was not our issue. WE'RE GOOD. That is the understanding that is important to gather. What is best in your own four walls, should be best. 

Never compare your children to someone else, and never undermine their test and trials as mediocre. As a mother, you shouldn't be a friend, but you shouldn't be a hindrance either. 

Look at your life right now, and determine have you been hurting your house, or helping it? Remember the Proverbs 31 Woman, she didn't sleep, and her best benefit was to her HOUSE, not the neighbors! 


Let them know WE'RE GOOD

Oh, It's Christmas Time: For the Moms

Good morning Ladies! 

It has been quite a while, but we're determined to get through and press through! 

It has come to my attention that young adults are doing their best to remember their parents by the gifts they purchase. They feel that because its Christmas times, and moms like gifts, that its a great substitute for all the drama they caused all year. 

I don't think that was the real intent on why Jesus was born, but just flow with me here: THE CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THAT CONCEPT JUST RIGHT. It's Christmas time??

I"m still a young mom, even at 43, but I have noticed that my children take a different spin on things, than we did at their age. It is gift giving time, if you are into the commercialism, but the gifts, don't take away from the character and attitude of all year. I have 4 children (3 of my own, and one blended), and each one has their own attitude. Whether loving or emotional, angry or disrespectful, each child still receives love from their parents. (Me and my husband) 

It all goes in what they SAW as they were being raised. 

I think most of feel like, when you teach, you're telling, but as I get older, I see what I taught was what was seen. I'm thankful for being able to take care of them throughout their young lives, but I regret some choices I made that may have left a bad taste in their mouths. Oh yes, ITS CHRISTMAS TIME. 

For years, we didn't have a great Christmas, because of what was going on all year. Time has proven that the effects of that are hidden in our family. For you, if you see or feel the same, realize the error of ALL OF YOUR WAYS, and re-teach the things that are important. Moms, we are the cuddlers, the counselors, the teachers, the menders, etc in the lives of our children. Take some time right now to think over their lives, renew your commitment to them, and bring FAMILY BACK. 

Why? It's CHRISTMAS TIME!

Working Wednesday~~Do not pass it..if they don't want it

I'm referring to your children.

You may not be their hero and they do not want to go into business for themselves. Don't force it.

In this current age, children have to be able to use their own minds and be creative from their own hearts. Do not force a child to be your protege'; it won't happen.

With summer approaching, whether you have a teenager or college student, help them develop a creative edge and mind. What I mean is, ask them what they want; do not dictate to them the life you WISH YOU had.

Our children are our motivation. We can pray that they go further in life than we have or just pray they have a life. Parents make the mistake of thinking their children will go down the same road they did. They always assume that their child is an exact product of them. WRONG

Parents should recognize that they have raised them the best way they can and have nurtured them in the rights and the wrongs (hopefully biblically, too). If a young adult (18 and over) makes some wrong choices, parents can not re-raise them. It just won't happen.

So don't pass it on; your life, your history, your business, your problems, etc. Don't pass it on to the minds of your children. Negativity is death to the mind, heart and soul. Help them use their creativity to build something they want. Support them in the middle of their circumstances and in the middle of all of that...lovingly share LIFE.

Share life....if they don't want the life you have or even had, you can not force it!

It Gets Better

If you are looking up you can't doubt. If you are looking up what else are you looking at?

Matt 13:24-30(parable about the weeds)

When you look out at life you see the worst in everything. You look at your trials, your tests. You look at the kids not doing what they should.

You look at your job, your business, your career not obtaining the sales you need, etc.

but if you walk by faith...you will see God in the bad...look up. Like the parable of the weeds....some of your worst dilemmas are the devil throwing a monkey wrench in your good spiritual time.

It gets better. As a Christian counting on God allows people to see that you are not the same person you were in the world. That you have no worries...worry is sin...if you worried about every bad thing in your life....where are you looking to HIM?

It gets better! Keep working for the good of the Father...and you will receive your reward..either on this side or on the next.

The essence of this message is faith.....
