One way or another, we all have heard, read, learned about the importance of Physical exercise and all its many benefits. What may be missing to some of us out there is the willingness to BEGIN exploring the world of Physical Activity beyond our regular “comings and goings” of every day life.
Today, as the Child/Youth Honoring Leader I am, and because I honor You as a whole and care for YOUR well being, I invite you to please consider very seriously taking the first step on a journey of physical activity. If you are One who does not regularly exercise, I encourage You to begin TODAY with a 30 minute walk daily. Just a walk. Grab your family, grab your friends! Worse case scenario, when they are not available to join you, get your mp3 player/ipod and get out there!
Did you know that walking daily for only 30 minutes can increase your life by 5 years? FIVE YEARS! Wow! Pretty powerful, is it not? Could you enjoy an extra FIVE years in the company of those you LOVE and Care for? Would you be happy with an extra FIVE years of bringing your DREAM professional path to life? How would that impact your life? Well, *that* seemingly impossible journey begins with ONE STEP! Take yours, TODAY! An average of 17 Days and VOILA: a habit is formed! Can you agree to 17 days? Than You are agreeing, moving forward, to a lifetime of physical activity!!! YEAH!!!
Here are a few resources as you move in the direction of your PHYSICAL POWERHOUSE, Enjoy!
May you treasure your Physical Temple for the rest of your precious living life!
The Light within Me HONORS the Light within YOU!

A loved friend of mine brought my awareness to the video below. I HAD to share! I encourage you to silence everything around you for the next 10 minutes or so and connect with the message in it.
I leave you with this…..
LEARNING TO WALK
Walked out this morning
into a broad green garden
with the rising sun in my eyes
and the first hint of the day’s heat
touching my face,
feeling as broad as the garden
and young as the day
and soaking up the heat
in my black tee-shirt,
walked straight forward
out of the gate,
through the wood,
along the river,
toward the mountain
and thought of the future
I could make in the world
if I walked toward it
like this,
with my face toward the hills
and my eyes full of light
and the earth sure
and solid beneath me,
walking on
with a fierce anticipation,
and a faithful expectation,
with the sun and the rain
and the wind on my skin
and the old sense
I remember at twenty
of many paths
breaking from one path…
“I wanted this house to be vast. I wanted to make a statement, not in any grand or boastful way, but to let people know what God can do when you believe,” he says. “I don’t care how low you go, there’s an opposite of low, and as low as I went I wanted to go that much higher. And if there was an opposite of homelessness, I wanted to find it.”~Tyler Perry
This afternoon I sat with my girls, my daughter Sade and my cousin Keta, and watched for the “humpty” time “Madea’s Family Reunion” where Madea just brings us to laughter, I mean serious laughter, and where Tyler warms my heart and uplifts my soul. There are a number of lessons in this movie, and as the “lesson searcher” I have become in my 30’s, I am constantly taking note of each single one. There was a moment in the movie today which has touched me and I felt I needed to share this with You. It is about Love being everything but UNSURE! Hum….
I will be sure to share my feelings and thoughts on the above statement an older lady in the movie shares with a younger niece who is engaged and not so sure of her love. Here I am, however, to share a moment of inspiration with you on the overall feeling that took over my being at the end of the movie: Tyler Perry’s life story. I will be sharing it with all Dream Believe Inspire Online Club members. At this moment however, I will briefly share it with you to encourage you, uplift you, motivate you, and, I pray, EMPOWER YOU!
The man behind the creation of Madea and all the various movies and plays that amuse, teach, enlighten, and empower, is Tyler Perry. For the first 28 years of his life, Tyler lived a very challenging life full of pain, poverty, and profound unhappiness directly connected with child abuse he had to endure growing up.
One day, at the age of 28, Tyler listened to Oprah mention how liberating and life changing it can be to commit our feelings and thoughts to paper. He took her word for it and ashamed of admiting who the character of his journal entries was, Tyler made up names and began journaling. From these writings Tyler’s very first play was born: “I know I’ve been Changed”.
Now, this is what my sharing moment is all about: how did this change came about? I mean, how do you go from being in depression, pain, poverty, to becoming successful, joyful, and empowered? Pay close attention to Tyler’s words for they may hold the very secret to liberate and empower you to no end.
“It’s nothing like real forgiveness, a deep-down forgiveness where you don’t hold any grudges against people,” he says. “I forgave [everybody] for the things they didn’t know and for the things they didn’t know to do.”
And THAT is when it ALL changed! FORGIVENESS! Letting go, NO MATTER WHAT, is the way out of a prison we, unconsciously, choose for ourselves. I encourage you to stop for a moment upon finishing reading this message. Stop it ALL and go within. Look for any and all individuals, including yourself, you must forgive once and for all. I do not mean becoming available for these individuals to again hurt you. I simply mean forgiving them so that YOU may move ON with your life in a ever more peaceful way. That is possibly, in my view, step number 1 to achieving a life of peace within.
Now, you MOVE ON! Now you have allowed yourself to move on ever more strong, joyful within, peaceful, powerful!
From that place of strength you can then find the ever needed ingredient for success: PERSISTANCE!
WIth a clean and light heart it is so much easier to become clearer on what we really, I mean truly, are here for. Once you know your why, find the strenght to follow your heart and persist, for YOUR DREAMS CAN become true.
Most likely you will fall. Tyler did. His first attempt at releasing his play to the public was a total disaster with only 30 people showing up after he had invested all the money he could save to bring this dream to life, $12,000. Everyone around him, including his mom, out of love and concern, advised him to give up his dream and… find a 9 to 5 job! He did not! And his second attempt turned into a huge success with sold-out shows many times over!
And then, there were “those critics” that thought what he was doing was not good enough! When this happens to you, may you have the awareness to listen to “the August Wilson’s”" of YOUR life. They are there, you simply need to raise your awareness. Why do I tell you this? Because even Perry began to feel doubtful and even ashamed of his productions. Until playwight August Wilson gave him a few words of advice:
“‘Do what you do. Don’t worry about these people, do what you do because I don’t think it’s bad at all,” Perry recalls. “And his words just shed a whole new light on everything.”
There is always someone who believes in you, who can encourage you, who can be there for you. Just raise your awareness and you will find them. Even if that someone is your own SELF.
Today Tyler lives at “Avec Chateau” (french for “with a castle”), a 16,000 sq.ft mansion! Pretty impressive, is it not? Well, as Tyler says, this is indeed a wonderful way of showing others what God (the Universe or any higher power you may believe in) can do when WE choose to BELIEVE!
Now keep it up. Keep DREAMING BIG DREAMS. BELIEVE You can do what it takes to bring them to life. Choose to INSPIRE others around you to do the same! And please, please, please, look into Tyler Perry’s work and DO share the movies with your teenagers, discuss the lessons in them. And above all, share Tyler’s story with all the young ones in your life. Make it a point to have “Real Life Story Moments” shared with/by the entire family where you talk about life stories like Tyler’s. THEY need it!!!!! These are the stories THEY will remember when the inevitable life road blocks and challenges come their way.
May power, joy, and peace be with YOU and ALL the YOUNG ONES in your life!
As for FORGIVENESS AND PERSISTENCE: Own Them! For when you do…..your Young Ones will GET IT!
And now I leave You and your Young Ones with a gift.

See you there!!!!
Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and
entrepreneurial circles.
Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase “thinking
BIG,” but they really mean the same thing.
Abundance is tough to define because it’s one of those
unique ideas that must be experienced to really be
understood … it can’t just be explained.
Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance
mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally
different set of beliefs and values.
It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who
are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump
have most in common?
The answer is their abundance mind-set.
Donald Trump says, “If you’re going to think anyway,
you might as well think big.”
Mother Theresa said: “The more we discover the
magnitude and abundance of God’s gifts, the more we
will find ourselves.”
Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.
Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:
“The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in
either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial,
legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.
Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas.
They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number
of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense
within their own system.”
Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other
words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or
through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.
“Do … or do not. There is no try.” ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about
abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conduct
this worldwide survey get more opinions – your opinion – on
this highly debated topic.
My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are
hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo this week, so I figured
this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the
best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.
What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your
definition of abundance. Although the survey ends at 5pm PDT on
Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield’s keynote
speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo, you may still share your definition with us.
All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day
and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.
If you are one of the five finalists, your definition of abundance
will be personally evaluated by our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty.
The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition
of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as
a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo.

human attention”

everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal
less than themselves.”

“Abundance is, in large part, an attitude” ~ Sue Patton Thoele
“Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise”
~ Heraclitus (540 BC – 480 BC)

abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide
enough for those who have too little”

nightmares”

The most sacred space lives within You!
That space where you know you can always find your most inner and authentic self. Take time to go there. Create the space allowing You to go within often. Daily? Why not? This will help you get connected with who you really are and that One You is the one who will shine, the One who will more often be shared with the world around You.
In your journeys into your inner self, invite your Children and Young Ones. Take the time to sit down and go within, with them. Share with them this precious habit.
Your Chldren and Young Ones may choose to resist. After years of sharing spirituality and all the many teachings and beliefs of a joyful and healthy life, I still witness my very own beautifully spirited teenage daughter resist.
It is an illusion! Resistance is comfortable, is easy….. is it? Not really. It may appear easy since it allows for us to be within our comfort zones. However, in reality, it is far from easy for its outcome brings many easily avoidable challenges. The price of resistance is significantly high. The extend of our inner growth is directly connected with the extend of our willingness to expand our comfort zone!
Today create and nurture a belief within yourself that tells you that resisting what you believe in your heart will make the goodness in you flourish, what you believe in your heart will make you a joyful and harmonious human being, You will no longer resist! Believe within yourself this to be true and You will see how much more powerful You will become!
So, when You witness the Young Ones in your life resist, disregard this apparent resistance. Move forward in Love, in a renewed belief that insisting on helping them learn to create the space to go within may be the one thing that can transform their entire life. It may be the divine ONE thing that can assist them in becoming more at peace with themselves, for through it they will KNOW the path to their most sacred space: their INNER SELF.
May you have the courage to go there every single day of your precious life.
