I believe the greatest wealth of Africa was not in the land, but in the people: ingenuity, resourcefulness, spirituality and civil harmony. I believe, by these great resources that we can obtain economic strength regardless of the land we may dwell or the color of our skin. "Gw Lawrence" www.kidz4money.com

‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.’ – Samuel Beckett
‘If at first you don’t succeed try try again!’ As a child we have this concept so deep in our veins that trying again isn’t a question but an obsession. Think about the time you first learned to ride a bike, how many times did you fall off? How many times did you try again? Uncountable! Or how about when you were first introduced to basketball, how many times did you throw the ball at the hoop before it went in? Uncountable! What about tying your shoes laces, memorising your home telephone number, getting cookies of the top shelf. How many times? Uncountable. What was it about us as children that made us such naturally determined beings. Simplicity is the answer. We didn’t clog our minds with numerous scenarios, possibilities, predictions and we didn’t dwell on the past. Just because it didn’t work yesterday had no relevance to today. The only thing in mind was the goal and so we tried again and again and again and again and again and then ‘Yeah, I did it, I did it! Look at me, mommy daddy, I did it!’
‘It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not live at all. In which case, you’ve failed by default.’ – J.K. Rowlings
As adults we complicate matter so much so that we build a strong enough fear of failure to dissuade us from even trying. Have you notices when someone succeeds we ask questions like, at what age? How long did it take you? Was it your first attempt? Sometimes such questions can even lead us to feel ashamed of our achievement because it was not achieved within a certain parameter.
‘Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it,’ – J.K. Rowlings
If you’re of healthy body and sound mind, there’s no reason to stop trying. The only failure is never having tried. Stop reasoning yourself out of even taking the first step, stop weighing up the pros and the cons, stop building up a case for why not to bother. So what if no one has ever done that before? So what if it might not work? So what if you’ve already tried? So what if you don’t have the required credentials, try to get them then try again. Just Keep Trying. Just Keep Going. Just Keep Swimming.
‘Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.’ – Dale Carnegie
We’ve all heard the saying ‘life is short’, but the truth is that life is long, so ask yourself, what else am I planning on spending all that time doing if not trying to realise my dreams?
‘The worst thing one can do it not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give into it, to spend years in silent hurting, wondering if something could have materialized – and never knowing’ – David Viscott
Remember that its not just the success of your goal that is important, you learn much more in the time spent trying to reach your goal. See your time of trying as a journey and don’t forget to stop and take pictures along the way because at the end of the road you will want to look back and smile at how far you’ve come.

My article was selected for inclusion for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please take a moment to check it out.
During the month of October we (at AlwaysNewYou.com) make it a priority to talk about good breast health and breast cancer awareness. While we use this month as a time of awareness, it is absolutely necessary to take a proactive approach to good breast health year ‘round.
Our expert contributor, Rev. Dr. Angela Butts-Chester, reminds us today to: Get To Know The Girls
I will be launching a van service that provides transportation to various destinations. If you need to arrive to that much needed getaway, take the children to amusement parks, go on a shopping trip to New York or visit a loved one far away from home then you've stopped by the right page....stay tuned...coming soon !!!
Deciding to wear YOUR natural hair is among one of the biggest decisions in your life. It’s likely that anyone you inform of your decision will have an opinion be it positive or negative. Therefore it is VERY important to remember to stay strong, understand that there is A LOT of information out here about natural hair but it’s most important to do your own research. Natural hair blogs such as this are strictly informational, no two heads are alike (even if you share the same hair type) so do your own research on products, MOISTURIZE and PROTECT!
Transitioning without the big chop is a process that allows you to retain some length. Most naturals would say that the most difficult part of the process is styling and maintaining the two textures of hair. For many this is the reason for the big chop, avoiding the transitioning process completely. I’ll share with you some of the tips I learned during my transition, some may work for you and some wont but having the basic information helps. These few tips will become a staple in caring for your curls.
Good luck and Happy Transitioning!!!
What do you want? No I mean what do you really, really want? If you knew you could not fail and money was not an issue what would you really want?
What does your ideal lifestyle look like?
These are some very good questions that actually as I’m passionately empowering women many who are in a consultation or coaching with me are stunned by and they have to think just a bit. We should all have the answers to these questions.
I did a Tele-class on Top 5 reasons you are not where you want to be – YET! One of the Top 5 included “You Don’t really want what you think you want.”
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Thomas Jefferson
Everyone wants to run their own business and be their own boss…. right?
Everyone wants a vacation home in the mountains… right?
Everyone wants 2.4 kids and the white picket fence…. right?
Wrong.
When it comes to dreams, one size most definitely does NOT fit all. Our dreams and goals are as individual as we are, and adopting someone else’s goals as our own can feel like wearing someone else’s shoes: It looks okay to everyone else, but to us, it feels awful and gives us blisters.
There are thousands, if not millions, of people out there striving for the wrong goals. Wrong not because there’s anything inherently bad about them, but wrong because the goals they’re aiming for are wrong for THEM. So as I persevere in my endeavor to empower women I must remain authentic and help you discover your authentic self for your realized empowering success.
There’s the law student that is very gifted in music and enjoys her classes in school leading up to the profession of a lawyer who would never give an extra thought to setting that aside for pursuing her career in music because both of her parents are Lawyers.
There’s the successful saleswoman who would really love to chuck it all and teach English, but she’s making too much money and only a crazy person would throw away a six-figure paycheck.
There are many frustrated individuals out there “believe it or not ” Frustration knows no geographic, socioeconomic, or race or religious boundaries.
The only way to know if the goals you’re aiming for are the right goals is to figure out if they are your heart’s desire. Sometimes it takes some detective work to peel back the layers of societal and family expectations to get at what YOU really want.
There are clues all around you: If you fall asleep dreaming about something, wake up thinking about something, and find yourself perking up whenever you meet someone doing what you’d like to do, you’re on the right track. Meanwhile, if you get a sinking sensation when you pull into the garage of house with the white picket fence, or find yourself calling in sick to that six-figure job “everyone” would kill to have, then you may be in the wrong place… for you.
So what do you do if you find you’ve been chasing after the wrong dream? If you find that you’re not on track to your destiny. You readjust. You discover what your vision is, your purpose in life. You reignite your passion. You connect with someone who can be an accountability partner, who is not biased and can offer expertise in the area you are seeking to move forward in. Even if they don’t have the specific expertise in that area but have the life skills you need to help you discover your authentic self, get unstuck, get focused, make BIG changes and get results that will put you miles ahead of where you’ve been for the last 1 to 5, 5 to 10 years or more!
You find ways to move your current life closer to the one you really long for. Maybe that means getting up an hour early to work on your novel. Maybe it means spending your weekends teaching art to inner city kids. Maybe it researching organizations that may need your expertise and would like you to share with their members. Take a small step and see how it feels. Then take another, and another, until you know deep in your heart you’re on the right track. If you are, the momentum will carry you forward.
You’ll be closer to where you want to be. The Authentic you that is.
Are you ready to say yes to the healthier, wealthier, empowered, focused, joyful, and Authentic you?
I invite you to request your free access to 4 more reasons you’re not where you want to be – YET! Request access to my Top 5 reasons you’re not where you want to be YET empowering Training Audio. Go there now!

PeopleWhoProsper.com is proud to Introduce Ms. June Smith of Tajj Cosmetics. I am excited to share her story today as it is a true example of taking matters into your own hands. For over 13 years, June suffered from discoloration on her toes from corns. As a result, in 2008 she created a product to cover the discoloration that was waterproof and lasted all day. After 6 months of testing she realized this could be a product that could help so many other women with the same problem. After an overwhelming response to the product from her customers she decided to expand her product line in 2011. She now offers a full makeup line for women of color, receiving recognition from several publications. She is looking to be a leading provider of makeup for women of color.I'm so glad to have met her and now's your chance...read more

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me." Erma Bombeck
In the recent death of Steve Jobs, I watched a video of his 2005 commencement speech to Stanford University graduates. Ironically, I watched it using his brilliant creation, the I-phone. As I allowed his words to resonate in my mind, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today,” I related those words to my life and to the many women who are business owners, mothers, mentors, volunteers and more. Are you living a life of purpose?

The single most successful way to network is with the parents of your children's friends. For those women that have children in elementary and high school, events associated with those schools, are basically an open invitation to network. The PTA is probably one of the best overall groups a woman can join, to successfully network with other like-minded parents associated with the group. Be extremely active and vocal in the meetings, make your presence known. Get involved in fundraising, either by suggesting a fund raising event or participating in a scheduled one.
Any school sponsored activity that your child regularly attends, i.e. organized sports, cheer-leading, music events, plays, is a great way to network with the relative captive audiences that accompanies the students. Whenever there is a call for a need for parents to volunteer for activities, (i.e., fundraising, sports, chaperoning) or whatever and whenever there is an opportunity to lend a hand, be the first to do so. Right out of the gate you have something in common with the people you will find at these events, they have children that go to your child's school too. Commonality is the strongest selling point, it makes no difference what the product is, yourself or a house. When you go to these events, make sure you talk to people there, about you, and your current skills or services, and what you are working on, and future projects. Make sure you have an ample supply of professionally done business cards with you.
