Latest Inspiration...Nadashi Marketing

I was tasked to create a standout, over-the-top funky birthday invite for my awesome nephew.

Jalen is extremely interested in the Miami Heat and the "Big Three" - James, Wade and Bosh.

I wanted to capture the true essence of the Miami Heat and my nephew's swag. Instead of the "Miami Trio"- I would like to introduce the 'Miami Quad." 

Lebron wasn't the only person who made a "DECISION" to come to Miami and party!!!!!!

Wisdom and Knowledge Will Keep You Happy... by C.D. Johnson

Wisdom and Knowledge will keep you from making the wrong decisions in life. When you embrace wisdom (the knowledge of God’s Word), the knowledge (the know how) will help you apply…

When we trust in the Lord and acknowledge Him in everything we do, He will direct us in the path we should take. The Word of God states:

Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man that gets understanding.

Proverbs 3:5-6, 13

Patience is a Virtue...

Choosing Patience


Leo Daily Horoscope

You may feel adventurous and inclined to explore possibilities today. Perhaps you are opening yourself up to new ideas. New thoughts or life paths may reveal themselves through conversations with others or in your mind as you process your thoughts. It may serve you to consider each idea carefully today before making any decisions. While there is value in following our impulses, tempering our urges with introspection can ensure that we are making choices that are active rather than reactive. Patience is a valuable virtue that can allow you the freedom to explore all of your options; it is harder to gain that freedom when you act on the first possibility that excites you.

Practicing patience allows us to make the best possible choices. When we take time to make a decision, we have the room to examine our projected course of action from all angles. We aren’t influenced by our emotions or the circumstances of the moment and can make decisions with calm detachment. We can then take the time to explore how our lives will shift if we make a particular choice. When relevant information comes to light, we are able to incorporate these new factors into our thought process. Be patient, think things over, and collect information that applies to the choices you may be considering today, and you will make a solid and well-informed decision when you are ready.

Unemployment Blues

Today is depressing in the sense of being unemployed.

I've been unemployed since August 13th- 9 weeks now. Honestly, it's been rough and my spirits tend to dip when the day ends with no prospects. I play the game by the rules and tend to be viewed as over-qualified or under-qualified. I know that I am a valuable asset to any employer, but it just seems as if this employers market is so narrow.

I am looking and leaning on the Lord to see me through this time. It seems as if my life goes in a circle- nothing really opening up to it's full potential. I have to make the conscious effort to LET GO and LET GOD!!! I have to lean on God more so than ever during this time.

Friend, the only limits on your life are the limits you have in your mind, and God wants to do exceedingly more than you can even imagine today! He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and amaze you with His faithfulness. But in order for Him to exceed what you've imagined, you have to at least be imagining something! Why don't you take a step of faith today and let your imagination come to life? Begin to see in your mind all the possibilities for your future. Meditate on the amazing things God has done throughout history. Let that seed of faith take root in your heart. Hold on to His promises because He is faithful. He is able to exceed your expectations and go beyond what you can imagine today! -  Joel Osteen

A Note From the Universe

Sept 14th

If suddenly and without warning, Nadia, you had absolutely nothing to worry about, do you know what the world would begin to look like?

Un-huh, exactly the same as it does right now.


Alright, if suddenly you had absolutely nothing to be afraid of, do you know what you'd begin to look like right now?
Yeah, cool as ever.


OK, OK. If suddenly you had absolutely no expectations to live up to and no one to disappoint, do you know how free you'd suddenly be?
Yeah, same, same.
Get it? The only thing that would really change is your thoughts. And you don't need circumstances or other people to help you with that, do you?


I say it's time to blow the lid off this popsicle stand!!


The Universe...



Sept. 13th
If there's something you want, Nadia, anything at all, or if there's something you need, no matter what it is, or if there's something you'd like to change, please remember that all the bells and whistles of time and space were first hewn and blown in the windmills of one's mind, long before they were ever dung or heard by hands and ears.

Whatever you dream of, live it, live it now, as fully as possible, to whatever degree you can, in your thoughts, words, and deeds. And sure enough, as day follows night, as rains fall from pregnant clouds, and as melodies float from bells and whistles, your dream will come to pass.

It's a sure thing,

The Universe...

Epiphany!

e·piph·a·ny  /ɪˈpɪfəni/ Show Spelled[ih-pif-uh-nee] -

  1. A sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
  2. The manifestation of a supernatural or divine reality.
  3. Any moment of great or sudden revelation.

    As I performed my morning stretches today, I felt as if I was in a strange place. My room became an unfamiliar territory to me. Where could I have been?... Richmond, Chicago, perhaps Charlotte. For sure, it wasn't Miramar.

   As I stood there, in mere confusion, It hit me that God was revealing something to me...like an Epiphany!!!

   My body was rushed with anxiety and I found it hard to breathe. Although I suffer from anxiety, this rush was quite different from the others. 

God revealed a plan that depicted a sense of my own. Perhaps moving forward with starting a business with my sister or just starting over somewhere different and in a different field. Starting my own means crawling before I walk and standing up and letting go. I must accept this plan and move forward.

                         ...Step out on faith and fear not...Trust Him!
                     
MY EPIPHANY....
 I plan to take more chances and be happy. Be happy with my body, my spirit, my thoughts, my feelings...with ME!!!

I plan to venture out and accept my marketing talents... whether it's creating an imacculate party or invite to visualizing the branding of a product from concept to launch.


In the words of Chrisette Michelle, " It just came to me, like an Epiphany!

Smoochies!

I have a Man in my life who wipes away my tears when others make me cry;
The Man in my life who opens doors for me that others have closed;

The Man in my life speaks to my heart and I am so in love with His calm and stillness;
I have a Man in my life who knows my heart's desires;
The Man in my life will not leave or forsake me;

The Man in my life gave me a gift that no others have ever matched;
I have a Man in my life who is king of all kings; ruler of all rulers;
The Man in my life has a plan for my life; a plan for which isn't my own to direct;
I have a Man in my life who doesn't judge me for my past and who won't discount choices I've made;
The Man in my life has promised me whatever I ask for I shall receive;
I have a Man in my life listens to me with an open heart;
The Man in my life answers my prayers;
I have a Man in my life that loves me;
The Man in my life is......
GOD



My faith in God  has allowed me to make it through the tough times in my life. As I continue to evolve, I constantly need  His favor over me and for His blessings to continue to flow. Maintaining a relationship with God is my true purpose on Eath. Day after day, I sought my purpose on Earth. I am the best mother to my daughter all due to my love for God.
