Radio Interview - Leap of Faith Show

I am so excited and so nervous right now!  This week, on Wednesday, September 21st, I will be doing my first radio interview.  The interview will be on the Leap of Faith show at 7:30 a.m. (EST).  Leap Of Faith is a unique gospel radio show featured on Sundays 6a-10a on Worship World Radio, which is under the parent company DaBeat1650.  Stubbs hosts the show.  She is an awesome and caring woman who brings new gospel artists to the world and showcases individuals pouring into others to help them become better people.  I am honored Stubbs asked me to address the origins of my blog and the importance of personal development in one's life.

Stop pass the website to see upcoming events and contests.  And of course, tune in on Wednesday!

Guest Blog/Interview - Joy T.J. Riley

I am SO excited about this post for two reasons. One, this is my first VIDEO interview and it represents me stepping out of my comfort zone. (in case you’re wondering, it feels empowering!) Two, I get to introduce you to my business partner and very good friend, Joy T.J. Riley. Ms. Riley is the author of the best-seller, Get Your JOY In The Morning!, a book chock full of short, sweet and to the devotionals. Joy and I were friends when she was writing her book. I know you will find her re-invention story inspirational.

Guest Blogger/Interview - Beverly Imes

Welcome to my second guest blogger/interview. I first met Beverly Imes many years ago when we both attended Master Quest, a weekend course on personal development and effectiveness. Since then, Beverly has reinvented herself into a renowned personal development coach, has written a book, You Can Make A Difference and is currently editing a new e-book, Waiting with Expectancy. Without further ado, I present to you, Ms. Beverly Imes.

Miss Beverly Imes is a native of Harmony, North Carolina where she grew up always wanting to help others in need. Today she is doing just that directly and indirectly. Directly via classes, workshops, and one on ones with clients. Indirectly with friends and family... even in Sunday School class.

Miss Imes has a passion for helping people. She is committed to excellence and puts her all into her addresses and workshops. When you think of commitment, fire and results, you should think of this speaker. From start to finish Miss Imes has it all. She can truly enhance one’s quality of life when her awesome tools are applied. Her positive attitude makes her a joy to be around and listen to. What an inspiration she is to those who are willing to receive the gift she gives through her presentations.

She is the founder of Positive Impact is a leader in empowerment keynotes and workshops. Their mission is to assist individuals to become the ULTIMATE person they can be and to have a more prosperous lifestyle and relationships.

Methodology: through interactive learning experiences which focus on the individual first. Then learn more about those around them that they may appreciate what they have in common with others, respect the differences, and work together for a common goal in spite of it all.

Continuously enhancing the gifts God has given her in the public speaking and empowerment training arenas, Positive Impact was created with the vision of helping others discover the ultimate person they can be.

She is also the author of “You Can Make a Difference…because you ARE the difference.” This interactive publication takes an individual from where he or she is to where he or she wants to be accomplishing any goal set by way of inspiration and application.

Remember, "It's not what you WANT. It's what you DO." It is time to take action.

Beverly: I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and work as the Executive Assistant to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Management at a major university. I’ve worked in the clerical field since 1985. My spiritual gifts are administration, leadership, and teaching.

Another Blog – AnointedWomenInChrist.com

I can’t believe I have been writing this blog for over a year! When I explained what I write about to an acquaintance, she broke it down like this: thoughts I have now that the noise of a workplace and of an employer are no longer in my head. Perfect! I want to thank you for reading my thoughts. I want to also thank you for your patience when I didn’t post every week as I had planned (had no thoughts to share!), for your feedback to posts, for joining the Reading4Champions Book Club started in November, for following @SharmansJourney on Twitter and for being a fan of My Journey to Me Facebook Page. Without you, my efforts would have been useless.

If you will remember, one of the reasons I started this blog was to put down my thoughts and experiences to add value to others. Well, since I started writing in May 2009, a dream I once had came back to my recollection. Once upon a time I wanted to write a book that inspired and encouraged women. And it seems that since I started this blog, I have moving down the path to do just that.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I inform you
