Financial Freedom Comes With A Price








As soon as I declared my commitment to being financially free, my world began to crumble slowly... Things happened to the contrary. But what I have found is this, there are principles that are true no matter what phase you are in in your quest for financial freedom and they are:

  1. As much as it depends on you, stick to your plan. If you get off track, get back on where you got off and keep going. But don't quit!
  2. Give yourself a break. It's been hard enough being a slave to debt. Don't allow the weight of this journey crush you. Get on top of it and stay there.
  3. Create a journal and write out your frustrations as well as your victories! Pretty soon, your victories will be most important and far more frequent than your disappointments.
  4. Seek positive role models who have been through this process. They understand the highs and lows of your journey.
  5. Let it go. Yes! Let it go. You are doing all that you can to make it work! But at some point it is an act of faith that your hard work will pay off and  you have to trust that interruptions will come but you have to work your plan!
Nothing worth anything is easy. It just isn't. But if you continue to add building blocks to your experiences, you will recognize that you are above and not beneath and if you sow your seeds in good ground, ordering your life will yield a harvest you won't have room enough to contain!

I'm committed. I am going to go as far as this journey calls for me to go. Hope to hear more from you and your experiences with finances.

Blessings!

Me Too... My Story

Yeah... Me too... When I see this I can't help but think that I am one of millions. As I reflect back on my own experience and I relive the pain for being raped, I get a little indignant, a little confused, sad and overwhelmed. Truly, I am not completely healed from my 2006 experience. I am, however, on the right path. How do I know? I don't want him dead any more. I want him out of my head and away from my emotions - but I don't want him dead. My experience began as a friendly meet up to go have drinks and party a little bit as I was a tad bit depressed and just needed to get out of my own head, so-to-speak. We were meeting at his house and then off to the Wild Hair in Wicker Park. I was truly looking forward to a different experience with someone whom I trusted to take care of me. You see, the guy who assaulted me was a friend, a brother. We sang at church together and we laughed all of the time. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HURT ME THE WAY THAT HE DID...N...

GOOD MORNING! In my morning meditation walk at work, I was encouraged by Holy Spirit to remember and to remind you that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD! I want to encourage you to NEVER let anyone or any circumstance outside of you change, manipulate, contort or distort who God (CREATOR) created you to be! YOU ARE: Fearfully and wonderfully made and nothing less The head and not the tail and nothing less Above and not beneath and nothing less The righteousness of God and nothing less The manifested hope of times past and nothing less BECAUSE GOD IS GREATINYOU, YOU ARE GREATER THAN WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND NOTHING LESS! Head up! Shoulders back! Chest out! Now, let's go get it! Loving YOU to Life! Dorothea Manley, Project Speak Life

Project Speak Life: On Being Different

Have you ever felt like you have two heads? Two left feet? One good ear? One hand that doesn't feed the other? A bird in the hand? lol... Okay, I'm sorry... My humor gets me into trouble. But, seriously, do you just feel like you stick out like a sore thumb at times? Sometimes? Most times? You must understand... that we are all here as created beings with a purpose! Purpose! Purpose! That word could be considered highly overused! But it isn't! It's packed with everything you need to understand that your physical, mental, and spiritual makeup is exactly as it should be. It isn't until we begin to question and doubt the bare essence of who it is that is staring back at us in the mirror, that we become confused. We begin to configure secret meeting rooms in our minds to house those imposing questions such as: "Who am I?" , "Why am I so different from everyone else?", Why does everyone misunderstand me?". They are all legitimate questions; h...
