Congratulations! She did it! Have you ever heard the saying, "Knowledge is power'? Well, knowledge is only potential power. Without action, consistency, and an outcome, knowledge is little more than digital information. But allow me to introduce to you this amazing young woman that I've had the pleasure to not only have her as an intern working for...
I CAN. YOU CAN. WE CAN. WE WILL. I AM RISE UP 4 CHANGE!
Don't allow obstacles or doubters to get in the way of what God has implanted in your heart! I've learned on this journey we all will come across obstacles in life—fair and unfair. But I have come to realize that what matters most is not so much about what these obstacles are but how we actually see them, and what's more important how we react to t...

Sometimes I wonder are we similar to hamsters running around a wheel, waiting for change in circumstances around the corner, certain that the busyness is a part of life and always striving for more and never feeling completely satisfied with what we have in life. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about the hamster that continues to run around without...

Time and life experiences has been my greatest teacher in life. I had to learn that Happiness is an inside job. It was not bought or given to me by someone else. It took work, honesty, and dedication to reach this point in my life. I'm completely satisfied with my progress and growth in life. I'm moving at my own pace these days. Not allowing...
Be true to yourself. Follow your heart and pursue your passions. Don't let others dictate how you should live your life. I personally believe that we'll be much happier looking back on a life lived authentically, even if it wasn't completely what we hoped for or easy. I've learned to never ever lose hope despite what I may go through in life. I tru...
There's nothing more rewarding than to see someone accomplish what they've set out to do. I just love helping people turn their dreams into a reality. However, to get to the future, you must start with the present. You must start the journey to your future from where you stand today. I've discovered those just starting out in their careers or busin...

Don't get me wrong but you can't close yourself off to the world and remain sane. You live, if you're open to the world as it changes and evolve, you learn. Welcome to my own book of awakening and revelations!I've struggled with so many things in life, cried over, run and hid from, circled back to find myself in the same darn place, made peace with...

"Because the homeless are a vulnerable particularly population that lack resources, we at "Rise Up 4 Change" are always keeping them in our thoughts and prayers and constantly seeking ways to continue to support them. One of our biggest challenges was finding resources to support our efforts in providing for the children and families at Chapman Par...
We all have a story. Life can be darn hard some times. You NEVER KNOW what someone's story is. It takes time to know people. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Listen for their story. Love well, because many are enduring storms we couldn't possibly even imagine. If things haven't been going the way you've planned, know this: Weeping may endure f...
Make a decision to begin. Stop giving time to thoughts that lead nowhere. Stop investing time in thinking about any past area of your life, as comfortable and habitual as it might be for you to do so. Make daily efforts to increase your alertfulness. Recognize thinking about the past, and SWITCH your mind to think about the FUTURE. Force yourself t...
It's like joy after disappointment. Naysayers become believers after winning. Sunshine after drenching rain. A wound healed after scarring. Forgiveness after being deceived. Truth after being lied on. New love--after being hurt. I just love that word impossible because with God.....all things are possible. IMPOSSIBLE means that I, an ordinary...
I'm certain this is nothing new to those that have traveled the world to find meaning and purpose. I honestly believe in life we reach a place where we're faced with some hard truths about ourselves and our lives. I instantly remember wrecking my brain, and searching my soul, sitting up in the late hours of the night, and waking up in the early hou...
Sometimes we are surprised by the behaviors of those looking out for themselves, and then again sometimes we can be surprised by the behaviors of those who go above and beyond for others. Those are the circumstances where real love has no bounds. "I've covered half of my life! But this is clear to me--that you learn that you know nothing--as you gr...
