Moms in Slippers

Life, it certainly is a battle sometimes fought long and hard.  My oh my, some of the things and people we encounter, makes us wonder, makes us weary and makes us grieve from all the unnecessary stress.  From having to deal with in-laws to the unqualified bosses on our jobs, it's enough to make you want to go behind closed doors and just stay there.  Then there is something and someone else; you.  You believe, deep down inside, that you're different from everyone else in the world; uniquely created and every fiber of your body perfectly made with a mind that speaks greatness into existence. 

You know you have everything it takes to start a home-based business. It's etched in your heart, embedded in your soul and just waiting for you to take the steps to take your steps and make your mark in the world of home-based businesses.

Starting a home based business takes courage; the courage to start a business, grow a business, promote a business, and greet face-to-face numerous challenges that will come to your door step, but remember, be encouraged by your passion and your ability to run and enjoy a great, one-of-a-kind home-based business. 

Have you ever asked yourself the question: "What does being your own boss really mean?"

For me it means a lot of things; it means designing my business my way; it means pouring originality into my business; it means being able to implement my own thoughts, goals and ideas into my business to make it the success I need it to be for my benefit; it means working when I want to work, creating my own schedule and being in control of that schedule; it means paying myself everyday if I want to; it means having all the freedom and flexibility that comes with running my own business; owning my own business means having choices.

I could not be happier as a business owner, doing things my way, creating and designing a business that makes me happy.

The NBA Finals.  What an exciting time to be watching Super Pro All-Time Great, Kobe Bryant.  Kobe is a phenomenal basketball player whose hunger for the game seems to get stronger each year.  He loves the game of basketball like a man who would be in love with his fiance or wife.  When he talks about this unique game of ball, you can actually hear the thirst in his voice; he's doesn't talk loud from excitement, but the words that he speaks tells the world that this man is a basketball lover.

As I've watched Kobe grow over the years, I've watched him mature; his head size has deflated and his overall attitude has gotten a whole lot better.

Kobe is the kind of player that I would love to have on my team.  He's full of energy, he's determined, he's motivated, he's inspired, he's committed, he's confident, he's on top of the world and he has a heart for people and his business; it was apparent during the regular season and demonstrated every night that he played during the finals; this show of determination can boost any business and that's why he and the other Los Angeles Lakers are the world champions. 

Kobe truly pours out his passion for the game into the game.  He is an amazing basketball player with a thirst for winning; he quenches his thirst by being real and playing.  Though some complain about his arrogance that stems from his ego, I think Kobe has learned some great lessons.  In life, we are forced to go through the fire of trials and tribulations; those trials and tribulations are designed to make us wiser and stronger, but for Kobe, I think his trials and the few ordeals he had to endure has made him more mature and if being conformed to maturity means being wiser, then Kobe is wiser and usually wisdom does come from age, but also wisdom can come from life experiences. 

I have taken Kobe's tenacity and applied this principle to my business, but in all truth, I've always had it and I've always shared it to be a help and support to others who may be trying to get it.  No, it was not born in me, but it has been instilled in me. 

Just like Kobe, I love to work; I love to write, create and design.  I have a passion for it.  I have a passion for it because it is a gift.  My gift, wrapped and given me to bless not only my life, but to bless those whom I know and don't know.

Kobe has given new meaning to the word tenacity; I guess that's why he's the captain of the L.A. Lakers, MVP of the NBA Finals and just one heck of a basketball player.  Go Kobe; you've left your prints on the courts, in the stands and in the world and I thank you.

Spring is a beautiful season.  It is a lovely time of year. We welcome it with open arms and we embrace as if we never want to let it go.  The gorgeous hues of the flowers in bloom makes our hearts sing songs of joy.  Spring takes us into a completely new mindset where our spirits become renewed by the warmness of the outdoors; being able to bask in the glory of the sun and the blue sky gives us motivation and reasons to work just a little harder to fulfill our dreams.  

A vision of creating and designing a landscape masterpiece that surrounds our homes in beauty is what we look forward to; it is our heart’s desires.  Being outdoors with family playing a game of badminton, tennis, softball or basketball is the joy that we feel when we gather together enjoying the company of one another in the warmth of the sun.  Grilling some of our favorite foods outside gives us a sense of closeness as we share in delicious homemade foods and amazing conversation.  The love we feel and plant in the hearts of one another is phenomenal.

Decorating our home with signs and messages that spring has arrived welcomes visitors into our homes. Opening the windows and doors to allow the sweet warm gentle breeze flow throughout the halls of our homes is a sure sign that spring is upon us. 

Spring makes us take flight as we travel into our journeys of life.  As we watch the fowls of the air grace the skies with their presence we are reminded of God’s goodness; He supplies every one of our needs and He loves us unconditionally.  God’s love is the strength we live on.

In the glow of the sun, not only can we feel God’s love, but His Divine and everlasting presence touches our lives for success and prosperity.  His love is real.  As we look forward to the days ahead, not worrying about tomorrow, let us enjoy the time that we have here in this season; a season to love, a season to grow and a season to prosper in the Lord our God.

Springtime; it’s sweet and oh so special.
