My Journey to Me – The Discovery
Discovering Who You Are – One Day at a Time
from Belmont Wellness
Very often, we start things with the purpose of gaining money or fame or something else for ourselves. But what we don’t realize is the real purpose is to help someone else. We may not know the person when we start or we may meet him or her while we are going along the way. And it’s always several people – it’s never just one person.
One of the tenets of personal growth is to get your mind off of you. You are not the center of the universe. Believe it or not, Continue reading “You Are Not The Center Of The Universe”
This blog is about personal growth and the things to do to develop one’s self into a better person. One of the goals you should set is a period of time to relax. I’m not talking about sleeping. I’m talking about sitting back and shutting your mind off from all the stuff written on your To-Do list. I know this is counter-intuitive given the hustle-bustle, “gotta get it done yesterday” society we live in. But taking time to not do something productive, and stop and smell the roses of life rejuvenates you. So, I took my advice on March 30th and enjoyed Washington, D.C.’s annual Blossom Kite Festival. It was a perfect spring day. The temperature was 60 degrees. The sky was bright blue with only a few clouds drifting across it. The breeze came and carried the kites high.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy :)!
It’s the beginning of a new year, the time when people take steps to change themselves or their lives for the better. I’m no different. I’ve made a list of my goals for this year and am in the process of posting the list on bright neon paper around my house.
One of my goals is to open an account on Pinterest. What is Pinterest you say? Pinterest is an on-line bulletin board where people pin or post things they like or want to share. Continue reading “As You Start 2013”
My friend, Joy Riley (getyourjoyinthemorning.blogspot.com), sent this message to me. She received it from her friend, Cypriana McCray. It had such a profound effect on me that I want to share it here.
Thinking is powerful. Knowing is even more so.
Thinking is a function of your mind. Knowing encompasses all you are.
What you think can change from moment to moment. What you know is always a part of you.
What you know goes beyond all doubt. What you know has the clear, powerful presence of truth.
Use your outstanding mind to think. Use your magnificent life to know.
Knowing comes from experience, guided by purpose, and from feeling the wonder of all existence. Know that you can do it, that you can be it, that you can experience it, and you will.

On April 29th, I was blessed to attend America’s Night of Hope with Joel and Victoria Osteen in Washington, D.C. I had been looking forward to this night for months. Since I’m not a baseball fan, this was my chance to go to Nationals Park, the first certified GREEN ballpark (that’s all I know about baseball!). This was also my chance to see Joel Osteen, a man of God whose messages in his sermons, podcasts and books touch my heart. The day was sunny and bright – not too cold, not too hot. Although there were thousands of people there, everyone was friendly and polite. There was a calm in the air – it was God’s presence. Continue reading “Hope”
Welcome to my second guest blogger/interview. I first met Beverly Imes many years ago when we both attended Master Quest, a weekend course on personal development and effectiveness. Since then, Beverly has reinvented herself into a renowned personal development coach, has written a book, You Can Make A Difference and is currently editing a new e-book, Waiting with Expectancy. Without further ado, I present to you, Ms. Beverly Imes.
Miss Beverly Imes is a native of Harmony, North Carolina where she grew up always wanting to help others in need. Today she is doing just that directly and indirectly. Directly via classes, workshops, and one on ones with clients. Indirectly with friends and family… even in Sunday School class.
Miss Imes has a passion for helping people. She is committed to excellence and puts her all into her addresses and workshops. When you think of commitment, fire and results, you should think of this speaker. From start to finish Miss Imes has it all. She can truly enhance one’s quality of life when her awesome tools are applied. Her positive attitude makes her a joy to be around and listen to. What an inspiration she is to those who are willing to receive the gift she gives through her presentations.
She is the founder of Positive Impact is a leader in empowerment keynotes and workshops. Their mission is to assist individuals to become the ULTIMATE person they can be and to have a more prosperous lifestyle and relationships.
Methodology: through interactive learning experiences which focus on the individual first. Then learn more about those around them that they may appreciate what they have in common with others, respect the differences, and work together for a common goal in spite of it all.
Continuously enhancing the gifts God has given her in the public speaking and empowerment training arenas, Positive Impact was created with the vision of helping others discover the ultimate person they can be.
She is also the author of “You Can Make a Difference…because you ARE the difference.” This interactive publication takes an individual from where he or she is to where he or she wants to be accomplishing any goal set by way of inspiration and application.
Remember, “It’s not what you WANT. It’s what you DO.” It is time to take action.
