Motivational Monday – Mind, Body, Soul and Faith


A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Lao Tzu

Lace up your shoes or walk barefoot, but take your first step. At times in life we have to step up, step over, or step through obstacles to reach our destiny. Two local authors have accomplished this feat. They use their gift of writing to encourage others.

The two books I’m sharing with you today use faith as a foundation to share their messages.   
I AM Health & Wellness, by Deodge Hill, is a 30-day journal and daily devotional. Deodge says, “This book helps a person gain control of health goals by keeping them engaged and holding them accountable for their health.”



Author, Deodge Hill
Chelsea G. Robinson’s book Golden Tones: Writing with Soul, is lyrical as it touches on everyday life situations. The short essays end with reader’s notes that include a scripture and space for the reader to write or reflect. Chelsea is a recent college graduate with a passion to “effect positive change in society and her generation… through life examples of transparency and artistic expression.”
Both books are available on amazon.



Author, Chelsea G. Robinson


Are you taking care of your mind, body, and soul? Strengthen your faith and all things fall into place. We are not promised that life will be easy, but we learn and grow through every experience. When you are faced with an obstacle, pray about it then ask, what am I supposed to learn from this?

Deodge and Chelsea both encourage us to take a deeper look at our well-being or life situations and be inspired.

If you feel like you are walking alone, you are not. Begin your journey, whatever it may be, with that first step. When you feel weary and beat down, don’t give up. God will carry you.

Words of Wisdom – Read a Book Day – 3 ways to celebrate

Photo Credit: National Coast Education Services


Hurry, hurry, it’s almost time…for Read a Book Day. This national day is celebrated on September 6th. Pick up a book you’ve been wanting to read and join the celebration.

Below are 3 ways to celebrate Read a Book Day

1.      Read to someone – visit someone in a nursing home and spend time reading to them. If you’re an author, read one of your books to someone. Better yet, give away a copy of your book.

2.      Buy a new book – set a short-term goal, something you can accomplish in the next day or two. Reward yourself with a new book.

3.      Ask someone for a recommendation – you can start with me, I’m reading a couple of books right now. I love to support local authors. A book I’ve just begun to read is What’s in Your Sandwich? See the picture below. First of all, I was intrigued by the title. The book is easy to follow and uses the analogy of building a sandwich, to relay tips for career success.

As you begin create your sandwich with ingredients for success, you have to set up your kitchen for success. You have to read the book to discover the details of this analogy. If you’re look for an additional charge to ignite your career, the author, Jocelyn Giangrande if sponsoring a 100 women power conference in Detroit on November 29th. Clickhere for details.
