Bridal Expo

I embarked on helping others make changes in their lives but what I have learned is far greater than I ever expected.  Even today, eight days later after the Matrix League Bridal Expo I am still learning on how to improve the next one, I'm still receiving editorial support and I'm still receiving feedback. What I learned is that so many people are not in the right mind set, whether it's spiritual or just business minded.  Someone once told me that a true entrepreneur does more than one thing. What I later discovered is that one of those things has to be to give. 

We have to have a connection with something greater than ourselves, that something that will help us get through the obstacles in our businesses.  We have to be able to end the fear of failure to be able to accept our future.  We have to be able to stop saying no to fate when someone is knocking at your door telling you that they want to help you grow.  You have to be willing to listen to that inner voice telling you it's okay to take that first step to the beginning of a new you.

I was thinking about Social Networking today and the impact that Facebook has had on my life.  Social Networking not only has opened new doors for me, but the story of the company truly hit  home.  When so many businesses out there are struggling and I'm trying to help them come back on top, why do so many people say so many hateful things?

It is so true what they say, that with success you make many enemies.  It's unfortunate that some of those enemies are the ones closes to us that don't understand what we do and fear there own success.  Yes we may sound like a fortunate cookie sometimes but if I am able to inspire just one person the same way I have been inspired then I have accomplished one random act of kindness. 

Dream Big and Never Say No!

The Beginning

So after putting it off for so long..I decided to start exploring, seriously exploring, how to start writing a book. I know I'm in for a long hall but I know I can also do it with all the support I get. I'm excited about completing my MBA program and embarking on the next chapter of my life.

Vegan Day 2

Well I must admit I've seen a difference in my sleeping habits in only 24 hours. It was much easier to sleep than normal. I also feel more energetic in one day. I had toast this morning with coffee. Lunch I had a wide variety of fruit, I over killed the fruit category. Tomorrow I'm planning on having a more filling meal combined with a beet salad, beans with rice, nuts and a lot more I just thought of.

For dinner last night I had a veggie wrap and fries! Yum!

Wish me luck!

Vegan Weeek

So today I embark on a much needed journey for a healthier week. Thanks to Lizette Reyes, I'm inspired to try to go vegan for just one week. Just thinking about it stresses me out. I first didn't realize the different types of vegans there are out there. A vegan that does no dairy, a select vegan that does only fish, a raw vegan that does uncooked meals and so forth.

I didn't realize I would annoy myself hearing myself whine about everything in my fridge that is not vegan friendly. It appears that not even the olive oil mayo in my fridge is vegan.

So this morning I tossed backed in forth what to eat for breakfast, so I figured I had artificial milk powder for my coffee, check, organic pound cake, not so check, until I realized it's made with eggs and butter too. :(

For lunch, fruit, pasta and oh yeah yogurt...put then I'm thinking, isn't pasta made with eggs and yogurt with milk. I can't seem to win either way. I'll have see what I can do to get past this hurdle but I'm determined to try to go vegan. :)

God is Good

It's amazing how God puts the right people in your path right when you need them. I feel that the resolution I prayed for a little over three years ago has just been an ongoing blessing for the last three years. I love that I'm able to connect with so many people and touch so many lives at the same time.

Staying Strong

I embarked on this new journey not knowing what to expect. Touching the lives of so many business owners but most importantly High School Students. I've come to realize even more now how much these kids look to be in an environment where they can be acknowledged for what they do.

I look at the remaining volleyball players on our Matrix League Team and am in awe of their dedication. These girls are college bound and will do whatever it takes to achieve their dreams.

I thought I was teaching them something but they have taught me to keep moving forward.

Think BIG in 2011!

If you ask it shall happen!

So many things have happened over the course of three months. Not only did I start my own IL Non-Profit Atheletic Club but I've add Event Planner to the mix. Using my event planning skills and community outreach, I've partnered with wedding vendors and am now running Bridal Expos in addition to helping other local communities raise money for their programs.

April 10th marks the first of many Bridal Expos to come. I still am amazed at the fact that this is real.

Please help spread the word on our club and who we are. This month through March 15th, follow us on Facebook under Matrix League and Matrix Production and enter a chance to win a $25.00 Restaurant Gift Certificate.

Thanks for readin and thanks for supporting us!
