Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Take a step.
Hello!We are 20 days into the new year, and it still feels amazing!! I am pressing forward, and consciously making the decision to stay focused on my goals. I hope and pray that you're doing the same. If you've fallen off track, do what you need to do, and get back on track.
Although this is a new year with all uncharted territory and its very unfamiliar, keep steeping out on faith. Continue to stay the course with your plans and dreams. Don't allow fear or complacency to get you off course.
Recharge. Refocus.
Stay encouraged and strive to finish strong!
Much love,
The dream.

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because it is right.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
ONE FOR ONE - Changing the World
Hey Journey Mates! :)
So, I have been hearing a little rumor for a few months about some new shoes that were coming to town. I'm happy to announce that the rumor is true! Most of you may have heard about the shoe company "TOMS", and their great program "ONE FOR ONE", which means with each pair of shoes that are purchased a pair are donated to a child in need.
This is AWESOME right?!!! Well, their spring line will be released soon, and they'll be introducing their newest creation... Ballet flats!!! What girl doesnt love a cute comfy pair of ballet flats?!
I know that you would love to support a worthy cause, and "TOMS" by all means is a worthy cause.
Here is a sneak peak of what they will look like!

Release
Hello Journey Mates! Happy 2012, this is officially my first blog entry of the new year!
I've entitled it release because that is what this month has been for me so far; releasing. You maybe thinking to yourself releasing what... What the heck is she talking about?
Well, for me it has been about releasing myself, my dreams, problems, fears, and people to God. So may times in my life I've gotten caught in this vicious cycle of holding onto things that were outside of my control. In doing so I've stressed myself out, and also shown that I was not fully trusting God to do what he has promised to do in His word. (He doesn't need our help)
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. - Psalm 20:4 May He grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans.
When we submit/release all of ourselves to the Lord we allow Him to do the work in our heart that needs to be done. That work usually consists of some healing, forgiveness and renewed thinking. Once that work is happening, we began to develop new desires and dreams that line up with His word. Hence the reason He will give us the desires and secret petitions of our hearts, as well as fulfilling all of our plans.
I challenge you today to release everything to God, and allow Him to do the work in your life that you so secretly desire.
Happy New Year
God's Goodness - He's always with us
Isn’t it good to know that God is with us? He is closer than the very air that we breathe. His peace is always with us. His joy is always with us. His power is always with us, and His victory is always with us. The next time you feel alone, remember, you serve Emmanuel — the God who is always with you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for choosing to make Your home in me. Thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy. I bless You today knowing that You will never leave me nor forsake me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
