To achieve success in any area of your life be inspired to think and speak it. How many times have you thought about something good, bad or indifferent and that thought transitioned into reality? What would happen if you start to claim everything your heart desires? You just may receive it!! What do you believe is your reality? No matter how much you give of yourself, you never feel appreciated

Be happy and grateful for the power of self love and the inner fire and fortitude that is a part of the inner connection with the divine. Self love helps us to stay focused on our truths when our outer world becomes unbalanced. ~Love and Light - Angela Jackson~ As we are on a journey to improve our health and reconnect with our inner self, share what makes you feel good on the inside.

Severing relationships is often difficult, especially if one person is more emotionally invested than the other. However, in almost all cases, those who hurt the most will probably end up happier because, in hindsight, when the healing begins and they learn the lessons of being taken for granted, they discover their true worth. And, hopefully, they will no longer settle for crumbs. So, if you

Gratification, like all emotions, is a motivator of behavior. It is the pleasurable emotional reaction of happiness in response to a fulfillment of a goal. If there is someone who has inspired you or assisted you in achieving a goal, consider writing them a quick note. Two things will happen: 1) you will lift their spirits (especially if they were unaware of how they affected you) and 2) it will

As you buy gifts for everyone else, grab something for yourself. In 2012, Sister Friends Chat will discuss topics from the book "In The Spirit" by Susan L. Taylor. If you purchased the book back in '94, start looking for it in your book collection. If you loaned the book to a sister friend and she never returned it, then go reclaim your book! But, don't be selfish, tell her why you need it back

Be encouraged to always give thanks for your blessings. It is so easy to complain but it is easier to be thankful. When you start to complain, turn it around and think about the person who is praying for what you have. This does not pertain to materialistic things.

The topic of discussion will be based on a quote from Pastor Sheryl Brady, "You can't move on until you bury some things." Sometimes it is challenging to move on when we have been hurt (mentally and/or physically) but we must remember holding on to negative energy serves us no purpose. Let me be the first to tell you, it is time to let it go and use that energy in a more productive way. As

Yes, I meant zumba; not rumba. What is zumba you ask? It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party that’s moving millions of people toward joy and health. If you have not taken a zumba class, you need to try it just once; you will become hooked. This is exercise that does not feel like exercise because you are having fun. Can you guess how

There are many ways to get your body moving and one of my favorites is to walk. You can walk fast, slow or even a slight jog (hmmm guess that is not considered walking) but you get my drift. You can walk around the mall, walk around your job or walk on a treadmill (I call that walking nowhere). According to the Mayo Clinic, "walking can trim your waistline and improve your health."

I am somewhat of a fan of a variety of music and I have a very close friend who often teases me about some of my preferences in music. She feels that for a person who is happy the majority of the time, I always select some of the saddest songs. I guess in some way I am able to relate them to a time when something may have been going on in my life. Some of my favorites are Ben by Michael Jackson,

Several years ago I used to play tennis; two and sometimes three times a week and lost almost 20 pounds. I was serious about the sport because it did not feel like exercise to me. More importantly there were cute little outfits that made me look like I really knew how to play. I even went as far as volunteering during the U.S. Open. I had the right tennis bag, sneakers and even two tennis
