![If there is one thing that fuels me or awakens my spirit is networking & helping others be their best self. This is true in personal & business relationships. The power of your network speaks volumes as does the crowd that you choose to associate yourself with. If you surround yourself with positive & progressive people it fuels you to only want to continue to raise the bar for your own life. Iron sharpens iron, right?
Over this weekend I had the pleasure of expanding my network and connecting with wedding & business professionals in Atlanta. I consider this weekend to be one of the best in terms of building Relationships + expanding my personal brand outside of just tweeting from my iPhone or iPad. There’s something to be said about the human connection & meeting people in their element, it’s extremely powerful! The best connections are when you build a personal relationship & there has not been a “business” exchange but pure relationship building that excludes any talk about clients, vendors, or how your client base is growing. It’s about genuine caring & support without wondering how a conversation will boost your career but more so about how much we really have in common, that’s networking!
I woke up early this morning with a huge sense of gratitude but also sadness for something that I read on twitter last night while supporting Black Tie Atlanta’s Cinco de Mayo party, regarding “people” only connecting to twitter when you are out of town + “kicking it”, after my series of tweets promoting the event.
People that are hurting will say hurtful things out of their own “issues/opportunities” & there is nothing any of us can do except simply say Vaya con Dios & remove that negative energy from being around.
This day and going forward I have chosen to surround myself with those that will only lift me higher toward purpose & passion.
Philippians 2:4-8 New International Version (NIV) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lnwgRC3I1qdpdzmo1_400.png "If there is one thing that fuels me or awakens my spirit is networking & helping others be their best self.

Today is the day….I am attending the Live St. Louis taping of Oprah’s Lifeclass with Bishop T.D. Jakes. It’s all really surreal so much so that I’ve had a hard time sleeping.
To say that’s Oprah has inspired me over the years of growing into a business woman & Entrepreneur is an understatement. Today will be inspiring & life changing….Universe get ready!!
Looking forward to a great show & I will try to recap very soon!!!
Thought for today~

I’ve been waiting to make this note, but I was really struck by so many comments via socal media that the Whitney Houston Home Going Celebration was going to be a show…. I hope that all those people are sitting somewhere in a corner because it was not that at all. It was a true African American Church home going celebration of life. We celebrate the authentic love of God & salvation. What people have failed to realize is that there are stars/celebrities that really had a connection with Whitney Houston and there is no reason to keep it a secret. When you love someone you show it. Whether its online or in person. Times have changed so its up to you to either keep with a small mentatlity or keep it progressive…
This service was uplifting, humbling, sad, and it gave God Glory for a life that he gave. We all have trying times, so you can’t hold that against anyone.
What we should celebrate is the fact that the world is worshipping God at the same time (in their own way) and the world wide web has become a snippett of what Heaven will be like… This service was needed and powerful, whether you think it or not.. Broaden your horizons and worship experience. Kudos to Mama Cissy for allowing this to happen.
Celebrating life, is having church….
XOXO.
Classic beauty; Adele looks awesome in that bright red lip.
Kelly Rowland looks stunning for The Grammy’s!
Red Carpet on E! The lady we’re all waiting to see & hear! Adele!!
Rest in peace Whitney Houston. You were my first music idol & my first cassette tape I ever purchased with allowance money.
