  Late one night, I found myself on set shooting an infomercial for Mary Kay Cosmestics, the Deep Ellum of Dallas, TX.  My role?  Pretending to be a multimillion-dollar consultant.  But you know what?  Right there, in that very room, I was surrounded by the real deal, including the incredible Gloria Mayfield Banks.  Her energy is absolutely infectious, and it’s impossible not to be inspired in her presence. Then there was Melva, standing tall in her sharp suit, among other remarkable, genuine multimillion-dollar pink Cadillac women. Their stories and achievements spoke volumes about the power of dreams and determination. Take Melva, for instance. She left her six-figure job on "Wall Street" and moved from Jamaica to the US to pursue her passion. Her journey is a living testament to the idea that dreams know no bounds, regardless of your background or past experiences. Then there was Melva, standing tall in her sharp suit, among other remarkable, genuine mul...

One of my favorite most admired persons is Floyd Mayweather, Jr.  You know why?  It's because I learn a lot from watching him and his work ethic.  He is so disciplined.  He knows how to push himself to the next level, and he bets on himself. He made $300 million in 28 minutes as a result of betting on himself.  Betting on yourself is believing in yourself.   Floyd Mayweather dares not compete with anyone because he has his own unique superpower.  He dares not to compare himself with anyone because he knows it's a weakness.  He dares not to become distracted because he is skilled and intelligent enough to keep learning, keep training, and respecting his opponents enough to know that they too are uniquely great if not they wouldn't be in the ring with him. A lesson from Floyd's playbook is this "whether they're with you or not don't stop doing you".  You can't gain or maintain by staying in your comfort zone.   Learn to separate ...

  A Slice of Kindness: Smile and be friendly. Sometimes a simple little gesture can place a smile in someone else’s heart, and make their day a little brighter. Instantly, you can lift someone’s mood by sending a card in the mail or even a phone call. Why not share a "just because" to let someone know you’re thinking of them? Kindness is a beautiful thing. It starts with love and respect for self. Sharing with others is as satisfying as a yummy slice of cake baked in love. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

From my window I see the brightness, I see the sky, I see the clouds, I see the sun and from there, I see there is no limit. And, with every breath I am able. I will sing of the goodness of God until I have not another breath to give. Starting today if you want to take delight to a whole ‘nother level decide to be a better you, to love self, to be kind to others, to admire self, to let go of trivial. You can't see up if you're looking down. You can change if you don't realize you are a flower, a diamond, and fire. You are powerful. Use whatever that tries to demolish you to polish you. Take your eyes off the world. Love you and share it with others because you are milk and honey. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

Have you ever driven thru a drive-through and the car ahead of you has already paid for your order? I have paid for other people's orders in the past just because I felt like doing something good for someone I didn’t know. And, to my amazement, I have experienced the same courtesy from others. This past Monday, Memorial Day two days ago I received a surprise gift via email. It was an electronic gift card to Starbucks. Yeah!!! It had been weeks since I’d patronized Starbucks. Upon receipt of my gift card, I decided to take a joy ride (smile). As the old sayin' goes it was money and "it was burning a hole my pocket." It was cloudy and the temp was exhilarating and liberating. So, I decided to jump in my car and off I went over the hills and through the woods to Starbucks. I pulled into the drive-through placing my order and when I rolled up to the cashier-pick-up window the car ahead of me had paid for my $7.36 order. I was in awe!! I looked up towards the he...

  Remember the magic surrounding the story of Cinderella?  Remember her shoes and how mystical they were? The phenomenal thing about life is whatever is for you is for you, and nobody can take it away.  You can't put the same shoe on every foot.  The same shoes that so many might try, but can't fit - - is because they were designed exclusively for the right foot. We sometimes miss our blessings and lose our dreams when we abandon them.  We walk away from our authentic selves by ensuing things that are not in line with our true calling.  To veritably enter into a time and space of change one must first distance oneself from the mundane, the madness, and being trapped by one's own insecurities. Wake up, find your magic and become conscious, become courageous, and squad with the right people.  Those who are in a better position than you are, and build on principles.  When we anchor with the wrong choices we find ourselves in a commonplace called medi...
