Adversity Makes Me Stronger

Adversity makes me stronger! I don't know it probably was in the way I was raised, something that my parents instilled in me. They probably knew I would face some adversity in my life and they wanted me to be prepared even if they were not here on earth in the physical sense to guide me; they wanted me to be able to handle it.  Parents, you did a good job!  Anyways for sure I do not run from adversity, it just makes me stronger; makes me want to stick around longer, makes me feel I cannot quit, I know you get the idea!

But not my co-workers, they don't understand, that treating me badly, keeping me out of your group, not offering me kindness, not saying good night or good morning, not holding a door open or just a simple smile will not make me grab my coat and hat and find the nearest exit; but it makes me dig in deeper, get comfortable and stay!

Perhaps they've never heard you attract more bees with honey, you can get what you want quicker by being nice. I mean in general most situations just work out to the benefit of all involved by just being nice about it.

I learned long ago, there are things that you cannot change, you do not have the power to change, you do not worry yourself with that thing, or element of your life, you let go and Let God.  

I tell you, there is nothing, in this world, and for that matter out of this world too, that God cannot and will not change for you, if you have faith in Him. Therefore. I am a lot to be reckoned with, on one hand, I do not fear adversity and on the other I have faith in God!

I support you; I am supported!

How About You

How About You...

Well I am now the proud great-grandmother of a seven pound 20 ounce baby boy.  My granddaughter and her son are still in the hospital, but I understand they are doing well.  Thank you Jesus! God be the Glory! 

Work was very stressful as usual, the program manager that took up residence in our office basically so that civility could be maintained is now moving to a office of his very own.  Well done! Congratulations! for him is in order, as he is happy having remarked, "I finally get my own office".  He is a young guy, he is moving up the ladder, on the fast track in this company.  

I remember when the announcement came that he had been promoted to head of the financial division the other applicant for that position that obviously was not chosen, walked-off the job! Being such a small island, it was noted that this individual did find another very lucrative position with another company, something occurred while in that job that this person did not agree with and she walked again. Strange, but not because turns out this is her m.o.

I am hopefully going to meet with a friend and fellow business marketeer on Saturday, to brainstorm and possibly do some joint demo sessions of our products. I hope to fill in some dates on the calendar of partnering demos with her. Say it, claim it, its yours.  

I know I am embracing life again, maybe not yet at full force ahead but it's coming; I am getting there.  Today  was one of my better days.  

How about you? Have you recently or are you currently dealing with something that is hard to bear, or carry alone? I am talking to you.  I am here for you, I am going through this but I am not alone, and I am here to tell you, you are not either; talk to me, comment on this blog, lets go through life's ups and downs together!

I support you, and I am supported!

It's 1:46A.M.

Oh well it is 1:46a.m.; and I am still awake. I have not been able sleep like before everything happened.  I am hoping though that my sleep pattern will return as I keep trying to propel myself through the grief, the feeling of loss that still has it's grip on me.  Somehow, I still make it to work in the morning, it takes me a little longer to get ready for work than it used to. But I get ready and go.

During the day I work, no breaks, most times the days blur by.  Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m through 3:00p.m., is what I tell our clients of when we are here.  Over, and over, it almost like a train pulling into a station calling out the stop.  

I checked into my online platform this evening to interact with like minded business professionals; this is how we get internet exposure, branding.  I didn't get too much of either this evening though, could not focus on that, odd, usually that was all I could focus on.  Does this mean in some small way; I am getting better? I hope so!  

Well maybe, I could not focus because, my daughter has called oh I guess from 4:00p.m. this afternoon, until about, I guess her last call was about 11:00p.m. to keep me informed of her only daughter, being in full-fledged childbirth, oh my poor granddaughter being in labor so long.  I imagine when I wake up I will have a great grandson, that will be a blessing!

I'm Coming Around

I'm trying to hold it together, I know I've got to, for the sake of my family, and myself.  I recently suffered the loss of my younger sister.  I knew somewhat of the pain because as a teen, I lost my youngest sister.  My youngest sister suffered with chronic asthma she left us after a prolonged hospital stay.  It was devastating to say the least.  My whole family, I believe changed that day, my mom lost a part of her, in my dad was a still silence, my aunt who had one child, decided to have another child. The only way I could deal with it was to push it into a lost memory so as not to have to deal with the pain.

My younger sister that passed recently was a great mom, of 4 boys, had a loving husband and was a loving grandmother of four, 2 boys and two girls.  Upon reaching nineteen years old my sister moved away from home to New York with the dad of her first son.  Over the years my sister and I were both guilty of not keeping in touch as we should.  I don't know for sure how she felt when she left; but I really felt, like I kinda lost my sister. Anyway time passed and between phone calls  on each others birthdays and notes to each other online years passed.  

This time this call was not near a birthday, I just wanted to talk with my sister to see how she was doing, about the kids; as for sure we could talk about our children.  Well she was in the hospital had been in there for sometime, although she was laughing very heartily at every little funny thing I said.  I didn't ask on that call any questions, oddly.  I just decided to wait and let her say what she wanted to and when.  The next day I called and she again laughed and laughed we both did, she told me what the doctors said, and she said okay, Deborah love you goodbye.   

I think that is when my downward spiral began.  I was unable to I guess function, I was going through the movements but with no cause.  It was like just being numb, and I couldn't move from this place.  I started writing a blog, I started an online business, which these thing kept me afloat;  to sit down and do something, think, and manage, talk to people, etc. but not too close from afar.  I am thankful I had these two instruments at my disposal to push me through a rough period; but I realize now I could not of been fair to either one in the state, I was.  So I want to re-start if I may, at the true beginning of how this blog began and from where.  I'm coming around now!

Helping, the Spirit

How can I help you?  Do you know the spirit of helping transcends all barriers?  We sometimes have an opportunity to help someone and because of something about that individual we determine they are not in need or will not adhere or change as a result of our help, so therefore we will not help this individual, we will help someone that will be appreciative.  

Help or willingness to help comes in many shapes, forms and fashions.  If you truly want to have a helping spirit, don’t be concerned about the recipient or result of the help you extend.  It is not about that, it is about your giving of yourself to help someone else; that is what matters.

Just because someone or something does not look familiar, or you think why, would this person want to help me? Open your spirit to receive help, you will be helped; and in ways you never thought.  It is called “works”.  The result of “works” is blessings. And this way, any one can receive blessings by be helpful to others. You don’t know when you how, when or what your blessing is, but believe me, by helping others you will receive it. 

Sometimes even in our circle of friends, we notice some one usually so joyful is acting a little amiss, nothing major at this point. Why not go to that person ask them, “How can I help you”, you will find, just the offer of assistance is anointing to that person’s soul.  The fact that you cared enough to inquire may even be enough.  How many times have we felt, if someone, or anyone really cares… and how it felt when asked. Also, when you ask to help someone, be ready to roll-up your sleeves, and help if necessary.

Have You Ever Been In Love With A Skincare Product?

I like some products, and have preferences for some products over others, but my NeriumAD, I love. This bottle has given me not only beautiful, healthy, flawless and radiant looking skin; it has given me the confidence to go before any audience and say I love this product. 

NeriumAD is not the first skincare treatment I've used, yes, I have used many; but I will tell you of all the ones I have used it is by far the absolute best as far as ease of use, reliability and results. I know my skin is going to look good, with NeriumAD, I stand on that. And because of that I can freely and honestly say to you, "It works for me and it will work for you, you, and you too".

Why do I love thee? Because NeriumAD does not require any mixing, matching, measuring, pouring, heating, cooling, or any other time-consuming process to use. I don't need an applicator, dry cloth, wet cloth, tissues, or anything. Nothing to flush, discard, or refrigerate. I like easy, when it comes to the use of my time.

How? Because NeriumAD is a pump bottle, 3-4 pumps into your hands applied to your just before bedtime washed face. That's it. 

Now go to sleep, while we sleep our bodies recharge, renew, and regenerate. And so does NeriumAD, it works while we sleep. When you awake, wash your face, and moisturize. You are set, for the day, for the world, confidence off the charts! 

How is your skincare product doing for you?
