Along the journey of my new business venture I had the pleasure of meeting and incredible young lady named Win Charles. As a young woman with cerebral palsy, she became a self taught artist to cope with her condition. Her art is as truly amazing as she is. Please check it out!

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
How many times have you felt like you have nothing left to hang on to and you just want to let go, give up, throw in the towel? Whether it be work, family, money, school, or life in general we all get to the breaking point. But, it is your decision at that very moment that is MOST important. That decision, how you choose to handle the situation and how you will let it effect you, determines the course of your life. Whether it be something small or something major, the approach to determining the outcome should be the same. This quote has significant meaning for me. Having lost TWO loved ones(not related to each other) to suicide within 18 months of each other, I realized just how much we determine our own future. We determine how other's effect us. We determine our happiness. We determine our success. These things were not only learned through these two tragic deaths but in the aftermath of those left behind and how individually everyone responded, reacted, and coped (as well as my lifetime of other experiences.) You may not be able to control or predict consequences but you can control and predict your response and how you deal with it. Learn to love yourself enough to handle each experience or bump in the road in a positive way. Decide not to let anything get you down. When you feel like you just can't go on and you're at the end of your rope, "TIE A KNOT AND HANG ON"!!!!

Poker Face
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. -- Josh Billings
It's funny that I came across this quote this morning. Just this past Friday I was invited to a friends house for a cookout and Texas Hold 'Em. Now let me first be VERY clear that the extent of my card playing consisted of go fish, war and solitaire(which I am very good at). But I have never played poker, knew nothing about the rules or what beat what. So I decided it would be fun to join in and try to learn. I had a little help the first few hands which started my winning streak. I learned a few things that night none of which really included the terminology or rules of the game in fact, I still really don't know what beats what. But these are the lessons that I did learn. First, every time that I folded as soon as my cards were dealt without even trying to see where it could go or how I could do, I wanted to kick myself because I would have won each of those hands. Second, I realized that if I really wanted to earn big that I had to make an investment. Third, it really doesn't matter what cards you hold, your confidence can effect the way others play the game. So you may be wondering what the outcome of the night was. Well, I was basically winning up to the very end until one the last hands where I folded right from the start , I would have secured my first place earnings had I not. I came in second. I had a great time and learned so much. (I will learn the rules before I play again) These lessons that I learned can really apply to all facet's of life. How many times have you given up when the hand that you were dealt didn't look very promising? Do you invest your time, effort, and money into things of importance to you? Are you confident in what you do and what you have to offer? How well are you playing the cards that you were dealt?

Great Friday
What an amazing day today is! A very special one indeed. Today Earth Day and Good Friday unite as one! Think about this....God, Our Father, gave us this earth, He gave us his son, who gave us his life. WOW, GOD IS GOOD! So much giving!! Today, as we reflect on all that has been GIVEN to us, let's think about how we can give back! Be grateful for the gift of this Earth and take care of it. Be grateful for the gift of Jesus' life on this earth and learn from him. Be grateful for the gift of Jesus sacrificing his own life on the cross that we might be saved and share it. When God merges Earth with Good Friday we get GREAT FRIDAY!! Be Blessed Everyone!
