On BBWO we have a very popular post entitled 'Black Business Women Today - What are you doing?' ... where sistas are sharing their daily activities. While reading the comments I came across one that stood out.

In all honesty, I have been trying to motivate myself for about a month now to start doing on-line promotions for my new book, Love...Like Snow In Florida On A Hot Summer Day. I know what I want to do but I feel like a dark cloud is over me and I can't get moving. I set a goal of March 1st to start on my new book but have not typed the first word. I was just looking at an email dated January 10th, where a HIV/AIDS counselor sent me her number so we could discuss statistical information I will need for the book and I never called her back.Do any of you ladies get into funks like this and how do you press through to get back on track?

I know what it's like to get into a funk, but you have to shake it off and keep going. Life always throws something at us, but don't let that stop you. For me, I've never been lucky enough to have someone invest in me or take my vision to the world, but that has never stopped me from doing it for myself. I look at my son and know that I simply can not afford to stay in bed and cry, so when I want to cry I GET UP ... put on my music and channel that energy into working like Oprah is watching (lol) and staying positive!

If you are feeling down, place a comment, share here. If you have words of wisdom, please do the same. Also... I am working on a video series to keep all my sistas motivated. It should be done by next week. Subscribe to my blog to watch: http://www.sistasense.com.
