Inspired.

I recently had the opportunity to interview visionary, and renovator, Tony Troppe. He has great dreams for the future of Akron, taking old, broken down buildings and breathing new life into them. This interview opened my eyes once again to the fact that we can make Akron a great place. We can build it up and be inspired by the legends, artists, great minds and talent that have lived, worked and visited here. Check out the story at http://www.akroneur.com/!!

Turn the Lights On

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of “weary warriors” in the church. I don’t know about you, but I am seeing many “lights” go out. It’s an epidemic. I’m seeing once strong believers and people of faith growing faint hearted and wanting to give up. The thing to remember is that the enemy wants to dim the lights and even blow out the candle of your life. He doesn’t want you to shine for the world to see. He’s trying to put out the light of your heart, mind and spirit. He seeks who he may devour. May! Don’t let him burn you out! Keep the light of Jesus burning so brightly that the devil gets so blinded he can’t see straight and is left spinning in circles! Ask God, and He will unveil truth to your heart, open your eyes to really see, and your ears to really hear. The enemy wants us to stay blinded by the darkness, but it’s time to turn the lights on and bring to light the realities of our lives and how we are living them and who we are living for. Let God turn on the light of your understanding. Allow Him to open your eyes and to turn on the lights of your heart and mind.
Is there something you’ve been keeping in the dark? What has your issue been? So many of us are walking around in the dark when YOU have the power to turn on the Light! When you speak, picture words of life entering the atmosphere. You have the power to release gems of wisdom, power and love, and the power to pray to set miracles into motion. God wants to work through you!
Do you need to turn the light back on in your life? Do you feel like you’ve been living in darkness lately? Don’t cast your crown to the devil. Be determined to hold onto it until the day Jesus comes.
Don’t be led away from your First Love, don’t be deceived like Eve ( 2 Corinthians 11:2-3).

Tis the Season to Give!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here!!! I love it, it's one of my favorite times of year (besides the snow). This year has FLOWN by...

As the weather has been so freezing cold, I've been thinking a lot about the homeless. I could barely stand walking from the mall to my car the other day...I cannot imagine how those living outside feel. I will never forget my  interview last year around this time with people living in a "tent city" in Akron. This handful of people had literally set up tents, creating their own "city". The tents were frail and looked as if one bad snowstorm could knock them down. It was the saddest sight.

Thankfully there are non-profits and ministries in Akron working around the clock to help these people. The Haven of Rest and Salvation Army to name a couple. Before the New Year I plan to go through my closet and sort through all of my stuff, giving to one of these shelters. I encourage you to do the same!! If you need a list of ministries and non-profits to give to, you can visit www.akroneur.com. It has a list of organizations and what they are all about.

The greatest gift we've all been given is Jesus, the least we could do is share that with others. Don't forget the reason for the season. Keep CHRIST in Christmas!

Loving It!!!

I finally finished Christmas shopping and love what I got everyone!! But, I must confess, I bought a few things for myself! There were such great sales at Sephora and a lot of other stores.

Currently I am loving the Mac 188 Brush - it's amazing! It's so light and fluffy and doesn't pull on your skin as you apply foundation. It's worth the cost. I love it! Here is a photo of it:Mac 188 Brush

Also, Aquage Ultra-Firm Finishing Spray. It smells good and is good to use when teasing your hair. Def. gets my stamp of approval. Try it! 

Also, Lip Smackers natural line. I got all 3 flavors: honeydew melon, pink guava and acai berry. Their ingredients contain olive oil and beeswax, aloe and vitamin E!
