The Day Your Life Turned Around

"Most of us measure our success by what others haven't done."
---Tina Turner

Decide, once and for all, that you will be the best you can be in whatever you set out to do. George Johnson, founder of JOhnson Products and one of Black America's wealthiest individuals, once offered these comments to a local business group:

"Be the best that you can be. Have faith in yourself. Be a person of worth and know it. Believe in yourself. Hold in your consciousness a vision of the life you desire. Move through each day with a vision of yourself as strong, yet loving -flexible, yet in charge. Act as though failing was impossible. Within you are limitless possibilities waiting for birth. Go ahead, give life to them."

Choose to see yourself, as well as mankind, as the creative expression of a living God. The Book of Genesis says the Creator, the sovereign of the universe, breathed into our nostrils and gave us life. In other words, each of us contains a part of the divine. Only when we are committed to excellence can we begin to measure up to all that we were created to be. Only when we see mankind as the product of a Supreme Being can we explain those thousands of daily strivings that urge us to live up to the best within us.

If you want the kind of happiness and deep personal satisfaction out of life that no one can destroy, search until you find what you do best. Consider who you are. You were born for greatness.

MAKE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.

Young artists have went retro. They are mixing their voice with the culture, dress, and sounds from the 1920's - 80's. With the recent passing of our brother, Michael Jackson, we are really going to see a resurgence of the past.

As a lover of art and not frequent enough attender to live performance venues (and here in Philly, the live events are off-the-charts), I've been blessed to watch this retro phenomenon unfold.

A three piece female trio who incorporate the sound and moves of the Supremes, "Boy Wonder" barely 21 kills the guitar with blues and soul so good he gets the 'old heads' on the floor, "Government Cheese", an old school hip hop rock band whose name reminds us of the days of creativity...and to top this off, more and more younger people (age 28-35) are at the oldies parties! Go figure.

Are you up against a wall, backed into a corner? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired of the worry that won’t let you sleep? The Twelve Universal Laws of Success dug me out of just such a hole. Like a recipe for making a success pie, follow the steps and get success every time. Universal laws are no respecter of persons; what works for me will work for you.

Are you desperate for a way out? Don’t read any farther if you’re still playing. But if you have the determination and grit to soar phoenix like from the ashes, The Twelve Universal Laws of Success was written especially for you. I had to share these principles now, so many are suffering in these tough times.

Blurb:
Ashley Bennett is a physical therapist burnt out from the job because of all of the rich, spoiled patients she has had to put up with. She moves back to San Angelo, TX to be closer to her family and friends. She has made enough money to live comfortably for a little while until she decides what she wants to do. Unfortunately things don't go as she planned. Upon stopping by the hospital where she started out in physical therapy, she runs into her old mentor. While there her help is enlisted for a patient who needs her expertise. When she finds out the new patient is Christopher Morgan, her world is sent into a tailspin. She and Chris have a history. They have been friends since the age of five and she had kept a secret from him. It is a secret that could rock the foundation of their friendship. She is in love with him.

Christopher Morgan feels like he is having the worst luck in the world lately. His mother is an awful meddlesome matchmaker distracting him from being able to find the woman of his dreams on his own. It only gets worse when his horse training session goes awry and he ends up in the hospital. To top it all off he is told his new physical therapist is Ashley Bennett, his childhood friend and woman he has secretly been in love with for years. He had no idea she was back in town but now that he does he doesn't plan to let her go.


Happy Reading!
