2014 has been a year like none other for sure. I am so far outside of my comfort zone that I don’t even know where it is anymore. For once in my life, I’m actually okay with that. I subscribe to the belief that the only way to #IGNITEyourLife no matter what is to #LiveLOVEdaily and to maintain an attitude of gratitude, which is your best defense against failure. Today, I just want to talk with you and have a conversation with you that will continue every single time you decide to #IGNITEyourLife throughout your life. Consider this a conversation that will never end. Today, I’m going to share with you How to #IGNITEyourLife with Gratitude Everyday because to be perfectly honest with you, Thanksgiving should be an everyday activity so we can attract more of what we are grateful for in our lives.
Be grateful for God’s Grace. There are so many times this year I thought I just wasn’t going to make it for one reason or another but God’s grace saved me. There are times that I felt like giving up but God’s strength kicked in and I became stronger still. His grace and favor surrounded me and still surrounds me like a shield. Because of His love for me I still have the capacity to love and I’m open to truly be loved. Today, I want to encourage you to trust God because as the author and finisher of your faith, He is also the co-creator of the process you are going through on your journey. Who is the other creator? You are. You are the product of your decisions. Life is a series of decisions. Choose wisely and even if you make a mistake don’t worry. God always works all things together for the good of those who love Him. When you count it all joy-nothing else matters.
Be grateful for friends and family. I have made a conscious decision to be thankful for my friends and family no matter where they stand with me. Life is too short to be mad at anyone about anything. Build a bridge and get over it- quickly. The same 60 seconds that you are mad at someone for what’s possibly a mere misunderstanding due to a lack of communication or miscommunication is the same 60 seconds you could take to forgive and love that person and meet them where they are in your life. Appreciate every conversation, every visit, every moment, because when they are gone, there is nothing you can do to get that time back. This is the conclusion I came to after losing my father in February of this year.
Be grateful for the truth. Even when it was uncomfortable, uneasy, or even just plain exactly what I didn’t want to hear or see at that time in my life, I am so very thankful for the truth. Truth gives you clarity to make the decisions you need to #IGNITEyourLife and live the life you deserve. Never be afraid of the truth. Embrace the truth even when it hurts. The truth will always set you free. Freedom is the key to living and not existing. We were created to live and have a life of joy and unlimited abundance!
Be grateful for your Pastors, Spiritual Leaders in the Kingdom, and most importantly for the Word of God itself: Spiritual guides are an important part of our growth and development as a person and impact our success in life and ability to cope when life happens through the word we receive in addition to the word of God that we read in the Bible and the empowerment materials that are readily accessible through technology. I’m grateful for Pastors who sacrifice so much of themselves to deliver the word of God on a consistent basis. I’m grateful for the revelation that comes with reading and studying the word of God. I’m grateful for the peace that passeth all understanding in the midst of trials and tests through His word that only make me stronger, and wiser than ever before. God truly works all things together for the good of them who love Him. My soul is a witness and my life is a living testimony.
Be grateful for your lessons learned. Every day I truly learn something new. I consider myself a true life-long learner in love, business and life in general. I have learned so much about people this year in particular. Perhaps I’m just paying more attention. Clues about how people are have really been visible all along. I’m more intentional about paying attention to the lesson as I am learning it so I can better apply each lesson during my journey. I’m grateful for that revelation.
Be grateful for the money you DO have. I’ve come to realize that the more I focus on the money I do have and stay grateful for it, the more God blesses me with and the more opportunities come to make more. I love myself enough to feel I deserve abundance again. You get what you focus on. I focus on joy and unlimited abundance that comes from love because God is love. When you the know the true source you never run out of resources. It’s a great feeling. I’m grateful for that.
Be grateful for your heritage. No matter where you are from, be grateful for where you came from and the accomplishments of your ancestors. I was talking with my mother during one Sunday dinner and found out that I have a great, great, great aunt Katie Stith who was one of the first female Bishops in my hometown area. That was pretty awesome. I have a great grandmother who was a business owner and community leader. I come from a long line of very strong and astute women. Find the positive parts of your heritage and build upon those stories to better understand the importance of the legacy you are to leave that is directly tied to your purpose.
Be grateful for who you are, whose you are and for your journey. You are beautifully and wonderfully made! You have a purpose. There is purpose in any pain you have experienced along the way. Stay in a perpetual place of gratefulness in the midst of it all. As aforementioned, God works it all together for your good. I’ve come to learn that your journey is really not for you, but instead for others to know that they too can overcome. I will never forget the moment last Veteran’s Day when my father looked at me and said that I must “live out my life’s purpose” only to transition from this life months later this February. I’m grateful for that moment from God through my own Father that propelled me directly into my #IGNITEyourLife movement that’s not only global but also makes a difference in the lives of many everyday, one spark at a time. I’m thoroughly convinced that gratitude is the original gift that keeps on giving.
Will Smith completed an amazing assignment from his Dad as a tween that impacted his life for the rest of his life as he explains in one of the interviews contained in the video above. There are so many ways to help your tween unplug from the virtual world and build a great reality with you! Today, we are going to talk about ways to achieve that. It will definitely be an eye opener to some and more of a reminder for others.
With all the technology that this generation of tweens have had access to since birth, including the amazing 3D ultrasounds which captured the true-to-life first pictures of them, it is hard to find the perfect balance of reality and technology. In some ways it’s so very convenient for my daughter and I to FaceTime or Skype whenever we are apart when she’s staying with a relative or my Mother’s house. I’ve even helped her with her grammar and spelling skills by correcting her texts when we communicate.
Nia has been using the internet to do research since the tender age of 4, when she saw a Nintendo DS she wanted in Walmart. One day while I was fast asleep, she did the comparison shopping online after watching a GameStop commercial on television, then Googling for the company’s website to find a lower price for her negotiation to for me to buy a DS for her. Needless to say, after her consistent diligence, I bought it for her. At the age of 5, she was organizing my icons on my iPad desktop. By age 7, she actually set up a profile for me on ChristianMingle.com and I didn’t believe her when she told me in the car until one weekend I received an email at work saying that my “profile” was only 65 percent complete and I needed to finish it.
So, just imagine what she’s doing now that she’s 10 years old! Can we say a Flipgram advertisement for my website on her Instagram account that I didn’t even know about until it came up in my feed last week! She told me she did that a month ago and asked me if I wanted her to do another one for me! Yes, the possibilities are truly endless. The adventures get more amazing by the day! That’s a guarantee! I have one amazing tween!
Equally so, even I have to lead by example to make sure I don’t become too “virtually engrossed” in my business dealings now that business is more social via the internet. We must remember that the more we focus on something, the more it becomes an integral part of our lives. That’s why balance in all forms of communication is so paramount. Words are so powerful and we need our tweens to be most impacted by our words and the word of God, rather than that of mere strangers and virtual friends across the world wide web. If we’re not careful, the world’s voices will be greater than our own even in our own household and they seek social acceptance and belonging. It’s our job to nurture them and help them always feel loved, appreciated and secure.
Today, I’d like to share with you five key strategies outside of the obvious of shopping, mani-pedi/massage days at the spa, and attending concerts, sports games, etc, to help you and your tween communicate more without all the bells and whistles of technology. The creation of technology was never meant to replace original forms of communication but to enhance it. Creating these rules, traditions and best practices with my tween daughter have helped us find and maintain a great balance in our communication with each other:
1. Take it back to the old school – no technology at the table at dinnertime. For some of us we need to take it all the way back and actually have dinner at the table first, then remove all technological devices. Nia and I do not bring our cell phones, iPad, Kindle, or any other electronic devices to the table and we do our daily “roses and thorns” discussion. The roses of our day are the things that we enjoyed most about our day and the “thorns” are the challenging experiences that cause us to grow as individuals and as a family. You both have a voice that needs to be heard. Listen to understand and not reply to each other. Ask questions and really become active and involved in the conversation. You’ll be surprised at how much you have to talk about when your faces are not in your virtual worlds.
2. Listen to music together and sing together in the car. You can both make this a fun activity by playing your favorite radio station, CDs or MP3s. Do you know what your child’s or children’s favorite songs are? Their tastes change over time. I also listen to the “younger generation’s” music so I can stay on top of what’s out there – whether it’s good or bad. I listen to lyrics and have teachable moments with Nia as to why we don’t listen to some songs and listen more to others. We listen to all genres of music, including classical so she will be well rounded in life in general — plus it makes for amazing conversation. Remember, our goal is to keep the conversation going with our tween.
3. Have devotion time with your tween. Their spiritual food is just as important as the physical food we serve them at the table. Take time out each week at the minimum to discuss their spiritual empowerment and belief system. Going to church together is great and allowing your child to attend specialized sessions for tweens and children at church is even better to help them grow spiritually at their age level.
4. Go to the park, movies and other activities together AND leave the phones in the car or purse. I know, this is a bit of a stretch, but do you remember the days when we had car phones and the only way to use them was in the car? Better yet, remember before cell phones when we had to use a beeper to know someone called us or even needed us? Better still, remember when we had to wait until we got home to even know if we were even on anyone’s mind or if anyone wanted or needed us for anything? Okay, let’s pretend and live again with our tween and embrace precious moments that we can never get back when our attention is divided during activities that are supposed to be quality moments with just you and your tween.
5. Start a gratitude journal together and do arts and crafts together. This was one of the best things we ever started together. The gratitude journal is also something Nia can practice even when she becomes an adult. This helps to keep everything in perspective and develop a since of appreciation for everything no matter what is going on in your individual worlds. Doing arts and crafts together helps to develop teamwork skills and other social skills that are needed outside of the virtual world. These are also stress relieving activities. You can use electronics for these activities as well if you desire to look up projects to start on together, do art together or to even build a website together. Nia wants her own website that’s one of our latest projects. I am proud of her and love the way she wants to do some of the things I do so I do what I can to cultivate and nurture those interests. The dialogue during these times are amazing. The key is to disintegrate the isolation that comes with using technology and facilitate inclusion of each other and the infusion of your worlds in a natural family setting.
There are so many other ways to unplug so you and your tween can stay connected. This is just great way to help you get started on your journey. Life is what you make it, so create the moments that work best for you and your tween. The more connected you become, the more you can recognize moments of disconnect from your tween to get back on track. It’s better to make time now so you can have a solid bond that lasts a lifetime as your child gets older. Believe me, this is one connection that you don’t ever want to come unplugged. I challenge you today to #IGNITEyourLife and stay connected!
To your life of unlimited abundance and joy,
Toy

There is truly nothing new under the sun. Even the “Left Behind” book series is back after all these years in movie theaters across the nation starting this fall in October. With so many greats known and unknown gone ahead of us this year and even years prior, it really makes me wonder sometimes were we “Left Behind”? I know from a scriptural standpoint that ‘s really not the case but when our loved ones transition on it does give the feeling of being “left behind”. I’ve experienced it many times before. I lost both of my grandmothers and a high school classmate by the time I was a senior in high school. I lost my first best guy friend and a paternal uncle plus grieved my parents’ public divorce all by the end of my freshman year in college.
By my sophomore year of college, I lost a dear college buddy and Soror, Tracey Clay, who I once shared my writing dreams with and now I’m left behind with the blessing to be able to live my dream as an internationally published writer soon to be author for thousands and thousands of followers today. She was a great writer who didn’t get that chance. By my late 20’s I was married and abandoned with child in the same year of the marriage by my childhood sweetheart, now ex-husband of almost 10 years (almost ten years divorced) due primarily to the selfishness of his alcoholism further perpetuated by his inability to cope with being left behind by the death of his father by the time he was 18 years old.
So as you can see, the term “left behind” can mean so many different things to each of us. I just share these moments in my life to illustrate the point, not to belabor it. I truly am a living witness of the miracle of the ability to love in spite of it all–the good, the bad, and the ugly. I even lost my maternal grandfather before the age of 35. My paternal grandfather died before I was born to my knowledge. However, as I approach my 40th birthday this month, I have to say it was quite different this year when the whole left behind notion hit even more close to home after my father passed in February days before we were supposed to get together for Valentine’s Day. I was also Daddy’s primary caregiver and healthcare power of attorney. When I got the call and the facility manager said he was fighting hard and came back several times before paramedics took him to the ER– I thought my own heart stopped literally. For a brief moment, I believe it did and God kept it going because He has a purpose for me and my life and it’s proving to be more global than anything I could ever imagine. God is the reason I’m here to share this with each of you today. When I finally got there and the ER doctor said they “did everything they could” my life was forever changed in that one instant.
This year, the death of my father just months after he told me to “make sure I live my life’s purpose” made me re-examine my own life across the board. This month I will celebrate my first birthday without him. This fall and winter, my siblings will experience the same.
I look at life through a new lens altogether. I’m even more deliberate in my thoughts and intentions as well as my openness to what love is and what it really means to be loved. I take nothing for granted anymore not even the little things. People matter to me more than things. I’d rather have peace than to be right. I have finally eradicated most of the self-limiting beliefs my father actually told me to get rid of years ago, especially those regarding income potential which by the way is so unlimited. I pay attention to life more and I listen to everything even to what isn’t said. I talk less and observe more. #ObservationDeck#GreatView#Awareness You could say, I’m finally truly living my life’s purpose. I just hate that it took such a hard-hitting death to wake me up from my own life.
To anyone who feels left behind, know that you are not alone. It doesn’t feel good, it hurts sometimes, it’s confusing sometimes, it’s unbelievable sometimes and yet there is a way to find a better feeling and live your new life without the ones who hurt you or the ones you loved who are no longer with you. Focus on love and what you love so you can recenter and move forward in life one step and one day at a time until you have a new pace of success that works for you. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to miss the ones who have transitioned on. The key is to keep going on your journey to you can live your life’s purpose.
What I’ve learned the most from the transitioning of my father’s life is that death has a way of getting our attention unlike any other circumstance. The one thing my Daddy stressed is how he lived a full life and really did everything he ever wanted to do. I used to get so tired of hearing his stories and adventures but I’d give anything to hear him talk about them now for sure. His life was a really wonderful set of accomplishments. He was a former athlete, educator, businessman, public speaker, military man, motorcyclist, musician and so much more. I admire that about him and I think about how he retired early and really did enjoy his golden years even up to the time he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. He was not a perfect man but he was a man who learned a lot of valuable lessons that he was able to pass on to me and to my siblings. The most amazing thing to me was that somehow even to the very end, he somehow never forgot who I was and even remembered me by name. Even as I write this tears come to my eyes and are falling fast, but I promise you they are happy tears of reflection of a life of 78 years well lived.
When it comes to our lives, the truth is that each of us only gets one trip. Be sure to enjoy the journey. Life is too short to be anything less than happy and free to live the life of your dreams. You deserve the best life has to offer. Life is a series of decisions. We are the product of our decisions. Choose wisely. Your life depends on it. Love yourself enough to live it to the fullest. A ship is safest at the harbor but that’s not its purpose. It is time for your to pick up the pieces in spite of it all and live your life’s purpose today. I believe in my heart that those of our loved ones who have transitioned would not want it any other way. There is a reason we are all still here. Let’s make the most of it! #IGNITEyourLife#LiveLOVEdaily
This article is from my upcoming book for 2015 #40LessonsLearnedBefore40. This article is dedicated to anyone who was left behind or feels left behind sometimes in life. I am a witness that God is still here through it all, you can move forward without forgetting about your loved one and as aforementioned– you are never alone. Reach out to your friend, relative, or health professional about how you feel if you are having trouble coping so you can feel better. The better you feel, the more amazing you can become. You deserve it. Your life deserves it.

When it comes to love and relationships, there are so many times that the notion of being hurt or the fear of not getting the love I know I deserve has actually been enough to just make me want to throw my hands up and not just throw in the towel, but toss the towel out of the nearest window. Seriously. You want to talk about frustrated? Been there. Done THAT. But that’s not what this post is about. I’m solution oriented so I choose to focus on what I want and how to get there so I can help others on their journey. Amazingly enough–in spite of all I’ve been through, there’s something inside of me that never gives up. There’s something inside of me that just. keeps. loving anyway. I have concluded that it is because I am love and God’s love is so powerfully strong inside of me that it endures in spite of all circumstances. So then the question becomes: How can one actually have and maintain a successful relationship? The truth is since no one is perfect there will be a time when someone will get hurt. Someone will get disappointed. It’s how you work through those moments with the person you love that makes the greatest difference. That’s what we are going to talk about today–how patience promotes progress. Today, we will discuss the Top Five ways to Nurture and Preserve Long-Lasting Relationships.
1 – Meet People Where they Are. There comes a time where you must relinquish your need for control and remember that the only person you can control is yourself. It is your perception of your environment and your response to your environment that matters. Accept people as they are where they are in their lives and that will help you to flow better on your own journey.
2- Pray More Complain Less. It’s time to shift your focus and draw your attention to what matters most. To get more of what you want out of life focus on what you want. Instead of complaining about the things you don’t like or the traits about a person you don’t like, give those issues to God who is the one in control of everything. Stay in your lane. Focus on you.
3- Be More Patient with Yourself. I can’t stress this enough. The judgments upon others you place is nothing more than how you really feel about yourself. Forgive yourself so you can free yourself from your own prison of condemnation. This will allow you to have the compassion needed to forgive others. When you are patient with yourself, you can be more patient with those around you.
4- Forgiving is Healing. After you have finally forgiven yourself, now you can release the judgement you have on others. This is critical to forgiveness. The act of forgiving is never for the other person. It’s really for you. Once you’ve completed the act of forgiveness, you have eliminated negative energy and replaced it with positive energy (love). You will feel so much better and will be better able to concentrate on the things that really matter in life– the things that truly make you happy.
5- The Attitude of Gratitude is the Best Defense Against Failure. When was the last time you just took time out to thank God for the things you do have, for the people who are good to you and for the things that are happening in your life that do make you happy? There’s no better time to do that than the present. Now is the time to allow your gratitude of what you do have to help propel you into the life you want. Perpetual praise is the key to success.
Focus your attention and energy toward the people who do support you, the ones who do love you, the moments that make you happy and the money you are making. The old saying and song “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative” is actually more than just a notion. It is the key that unlocks the rest of your life that you want for yourself and your family. It is the key to building healthy relationships that last with a foundation that is solid enough to sustain you and the ones you love for a lifetime. Indeed the ultimate key is patience. Patience promotes this type of progress. Try it today. You deserve it. What do you have to lose? Nothing. After all, doesn’t your life deserve– progress?
In a proclamation issued on April 1, 1996, President Bill Clinton declared: “National Poetry Month offers us a welcome opportunity to celebrate not only the unsurpassed body of literature produced by our poets in the past, but also the vitality and diversity of voices reflected in the works of today’s American poetry….Their creativity and wealth of language enrich our culture and inspire a new generation of Americans to learn the power of reading and writing at its best.”
In honor of National Poetry Month, I wanted to share this poem below that I actually wrote earlier this month and I’m just getting a chance to share it with the world. It is dedicated to a very close personal friend of mine who was there for me during one of my shows when I really needed help. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a huge difference. When you are so used to doing everything by yourself sometimes it’s hard to ask for help. This person chose to be there for me and it is the essence of that which touched me most literally to tears.
Today’s poem is ironically entitled “Tears”, but know that these tears are very special. Enjoy!
Life has a way of bringing all kinds of twists and unexpected turns. Some are a product of the decisions we made ourselves and many are truly beyond our control. The one thing you can depend on is that God will bring you out of whatever you got yourself into and He will sustain you through whatever you are going through right now even as you are reading this. There is no need for alarm or panic. God anticipated this very moment in our lives. After all, He is the author and finisher of our faith. That’s all the more reason to simply count it #AllJoy! That’s right–when you truly count it #AllJoy– nothing else matters. Since this is generally easier said than done–today, I’m going to share with you my top five proven strategies to maintain your joy daily!
1. Trust God with a child-like faith. Embrace Change. Respect the Process. It’s truly a matter of ProgressOverPerfection. When we were babies, we had no problem trusting. We were not afraid of anything. We must get back to that child-like faith in God and truly trust Him with our lives. The reality is that no matter what we go through, God works ALL things together for the good of them who love Him. When life hits, just like you did when you were taking those first baby steps–you have to get back up and keep trying until you get it right in life. The changes you go through make you who you are today and will strengthen you for the journey ahead. Everything happens for a reason! Step by step, count it #AllJoy and respect the process so you can be the extraordinary person God has created you to be!
2. Understand there’s Purpose in your Pain and Walk in Your Purpose so you can #LiveOnPurpose. The pain that you go through is what’s necessary to help you push through to that breakthrough! It’s all a part of the process. Pain changes your perspective. It forces awareness. It gets your attention. I also forces change. Many of us are just silently existing in life when it is time to live out loud! Therefore, it’s time for a change! There is purpose in your pain and it’s time for you to walk in that purpose so you can live on purpose right now! Count it #AllJoy! Shift your focus and change your life!
3. Recognize Distractions and Maintain a #LaserSharpFocus daily. Negative emotions are just distractions from your destiny. Don’t focus on the struggle, but instead focus on the promises of God for an abundant life. Keep a #LaserSharpFocus on your goals and choose to live the life of your dreams no matter what! Count it #AllJoy and push through to your breakthrough!
4. Stay #PostitivelyCharged daily and maintain #RelentlessResilience. Joy is a choice. You must choose through the peace of God that passes all understanding to make a quality decision to maintain #RelentlessResilience to the nonsense and negativity of the world. You must choose to keep a positive charge from the inside out that will electrify your senses and keep you focused on the road and not the wall in the race of life. No matter what comes, stay #PositivelyCharged to help you maintain #RelentlessResilience to the pressures of life so you can count it #AllJoy and stay victorious!
5. #GrowAndLetItGo, #GoInwardAndSoar, and #IGNITEyourLife! Take the time to get out of your own way! Remember that the judgements and criticisms that you receive from others is only a reflection of what they see in themselves. Take nothing personal. Take the lessons learned from past business and personal relationships and apply them to your present situations to maximize the healing process and enjoy the love that has been waiting for you all along. In fact, forgive yourself first so you can actually forgive others.

Scriptural reference to help you Count it #AllJoy: James 1:2-4
King James Version:
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Amplified Version:
2 Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.
3 Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
4 But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
