Stop! Next Create 2020 Goals

December 22, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

STOP!

Before Creating 2020 Goals

 

I am working on my goals for next year and the first thing on my list is to identify the things I will stop doing.  Wow!

Shared this idea with a friend this morning and she informed me it sounded very religious…   Hmm, maybe so. The visual for me is:  Stopping several things, will open the time frame for my actual goals.

Stop Right Now

Being Late…late for church, late to post on the blog, late getting dressed in the morning and late for appointments.  Have you gathered I am late! I  get up early. Are you ever late?

This week I am making written notes of times I am late and when I arrive on Time!

Made it on time for Church Sunday.

The following video is late because I did not do a good job on the video.  Each morning starts with this drink, so I will post this as soon as the new video is done.

Now, it’s time for a grocery run and some other errands, then I will make another video. This drink starts my weekly breakfast and is repeated each day through Friday.

Healthy Monday Morning Breakfast Drink

Yes, this video is many days past where I planned to share.  So, this is another thing on my list to stop.  I write at least 500 words a day, many  I would love to share with you.  Why not?  Well, I want them to be perfect. The video is not even good quality, but I am learning and now we do share the ingredients.  Keep watching!  My skills will improve.

For this time, the new video wasn’t any better than the first.  Then, I had a challenge uploading to You Tube.  Learning is so much fun!  Please share with me your healthiest recipe for the week.

For now,

Go Forth and Prosper,

Molinda Sue

Healthy Monday – Health Check-up

December 10, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

 Health Check Up

I thought I Was Sick

I was tired, weak and hurt when I walked. A visit to the Doctor confirmed my health needed attention.  She ordered Cat Scan. The results  revealed inflammation in my colon and possible abscess. Oh,  it opened the door for me to walk through and have many, many other necessary and routine tests.  Those tests are not on my to do list now, although I am not saying they will never be.

My habits and thoughts have contributed to manifest an illness that calls for immediate change.

For three days following the cat scan I had only antibiotics and clear liquids. Each day was an  improvement, but within two weeks the call of habit helped me slide back into my previous daily routine. Tonight, a second cat scan is scheduled.

It’s like returning to the stage of an infant. First, consume  liquids.  Next, add some soft and Healthy food (not frozen dinners and fast food chains)…. drink lots of water and start with beginners study.

My visit to Urgent Care resulted in an urgent awareness to change eating habits, add exercise and drink more water. In addition, stress must be deleted, more sleep and some play time!

Start Health Early In the Morning

This Morning, I drank….. Hot water with lemon, honey and apple cider vinegar.

I am an early riser. Next around 7:00 am I had one cup of coffee and a piece of dry toast.

At 9:30 a smoothie, recipe from Dr Oz was welcomed.  Unfortunately, food for the remainder of the day wasn’t as healthy. Funny  in my thoughts, I believed one day of perfect healthy food would make a scan all better. Tonight, the second scan is scheduled.

Hopefully,  the report from the radiologist will soon be available. I love technology that allows us to access our patient file.

Please know, Doctors are important and I respect each one.  However, I believe we are responsible to pray, research, and ask God for wisdom before just accepting a diagnosis.  After all, Doctors practice and I believe God made me…so He knows exactly what I need.  My research includes information from the following video.

A Video For Health

 

Food Prep For Health

In the morning, I will share my video of making the smoothie and recipes for the week!  It’s a journey and I love company… Tell me what you do each day for your health!

For years, Monday was my day off from work, and it seems the habit is hard to erase.  I find it exciting to know entering in to the new year, Monday will be my wake up day to evaluate and implement a better routine. What do you plan to do in 2020 for your health?

Together, let us

Go forth and Prosper  and be in good health!

Change In Life -Hail Damage Totaled My Car

September 16, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Change Happens All The Time

Hail Storm, An Act of God Changed my Direction

I had a blow out  in Montana …I blew most of the “stinking thinking” from my little head overloaded with junk! Change is inevitable. It is sort of like cleaning the refrigerator.  You know, the food gets all stinky, moldy and unhealthy after a while and it’s hard to remember it was good at one time.

Each day we make decisions.  Some days, we decide to do nothing.  Change still happens and forces us to do something. Here we go…dump this…keep that and replace bad with good.

Have you  experienced a change that forced you to make choices?  Do you constantly express a wish that things were different?  Do you foresee a change that will most likely happen in the near future?

An Act of God  changed the picture of my future within a few minutes.

The recent hail storm in Montana lasted about 15 minutes.  My beautiful, paid for car was pounded with balls of hail while my granddaughter and I rode a couple of blocks to our driveway and parked.

Combined with some other family members decisions, my entire world was hailed and rocked. If I had a big bank account, my choices would be many. Today is the day for my reality show!

Limited resources and limited options generated a few days of despair.  What’s next? Regarding money, my question is: Who says we baby boomers can’t rock the bank with money? Not with longing from an empty nest and a head full of foolishness!  Let’s clean it out!

Other storms have been screaming across the country. Hurricanes, floods, needs, health issues…so many Remember the refrigerator.  Yes, trauma  hits in the soul. I have found the antidote is to do something drastically different.

Select something to replace loss, grief or Disneyland thinking. Change includes motion, mindset, assessing the situation and possible future results. Remember the refrigerator.

Start first with Gratitude. I am thankful Eliana and I were not injured in the storm.

 What Did the Storm Make Possible?

 Immediate  Positive Emotional Change Was Possible

Desires and intentions:   I want  a paid for home, money in the bank, good health care…and I want to share my good finds with you and have money to give to those I love.

Actions:   My car was cosmetically damaged from the hail storm.  It did not break any of the windows.. Every time I look at it, I think how the storms in life leave scars and dents on our body, our mind, and pound away at our dreams and plans. Some storms leave physical challenges that are difficult to overcome. Do we then act or react?

From my comfort zone, it broke my heart to look at the damage to my car.  In less than 15

Act of God

Hail Damage

minutes the prime value was deflated to salvage.

The storm reminded me a health diagnosis can change all plans immediately.  Losing a job can take away the security of an unpaid for home.

Action:  Change for me involves taking one step at a time in the right direction.  I will not embrace the insurance evaluation and request  the car be declared totaled given a low settlement amount and release the title to them.  Like sheep, many people did.

Trouble changes our mindset. Victory, the car’s name, was changed to Salvage by the insurance company.  I rescued her and changed her back to “Victory Rescued”. Next, a brief trip to the DMV  to renew my tags validated my assessment.  The DMV did not reflect a salvage title, only a notation of hail damage.

Thank you God for the paid for car I drive. Later, it will be rescued by someone else in need of a gently used vehicle. What will I do to make the car valuable?

A real estate appraisal determines value based on the highest and best use.  What does this act of nature do to the primary use of my car?

Salvage ... It’s a powerful word. So, I will have a Salvage sale.   No, not to sell the car, but to use it for space to display my rescued items!

Where will I find positive motivation and creative ideas to encourage me?  Not from the hundreds of people acting like sheep and just accepting a check from the insurance company. Then they leave to purchase another card  and possibly create another debt.

My Answer:  From the Episodes of the Undercover Billionaire, I  connected to his story and have set aside $100.00 (One Hundred Dollars) to launch my business. My goal is to do what it takes to generate $25,000 by January 1, 2020. From the insurance proceeds I paid in full several small debts, retained a $1,000.00 emergency fund and embraced an urgent vision to implement.

Action:  My first activity, a Trunk Salvage Sale, will happen this coming week and will  officially open the business,  Go forth and Prosper. Making money from home, my car, and where ever I happen to reside.

Tonight, we will see a beautiful Harvest Moon! I will harvest the rescued salvage I own, call forth the knowledge and wisdom to rescue the legacy my family deserves. It’s a great feeling  knowing my recent  sorting Trash or Treasure fits right in this picture.

Today, I will clean the car and prepare it for a trunk salvage sale.  Secondly, I will order some supplies for my online presence sharing how to generate money from anywhere.

Start Your Life Change Here

Tip number 1 :  Love Amazon. With a prime membership, you may order and get free delivery within a day.  You will pay for a membership. The first few delivered orders will cover the cost of the membership. I document the savings and pleasure from my membership.

Action:  You want to buy a gift for someone miles away, so you get in the car, go to a store, buy a gift, stop to get some wrapping paper, go home make the package and then off to the post office to mail.

You just spent money on gas, the gift, paper and supplies to wrap, and postage. You probably maneuvered the traffic came back feeling good, but tired.

Change Action to:  Shop Amazon, Choose your gift ….add the recipient’s address, pay (usually less than the store) and away it goes.  Want it wrapped? Include a gift bag and card!

My order today will include a couple of things for my mobile office, some cosmetic supplies and I will choose an audio book (free for the first two) all from my kitchen table!

Just for fun, I challenge you to document what you buy for the next week. Then using your receipts, look up the items on Amazon. Wouldn’t it be worth it to order online, save money, and have them delivered? You’ll feel like a queen (or King)!

My shopping list for Amazon:

 



Go forth and Prosper

 

 

See you soon.

Hello August!

August 3, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Hello August!

I have plans for you!

This year has been an uphill climb for me.  Unfortunately, I don’t do real well climbing heights.  So, I didn’t reach the top.  Several goals hang in the balance. I needed a shocking jump start.

Last week I had my car serviced. While I was waiting, I browsed the showroom and looked at the beautiful Challenger …priced somewhere in the $70,000 range.

The V8 is  mated to an eight-speed transmission. Performance rocks a top speed of 203 mph. For those of you who know me, you know I love a fast muscle car.

WARNING!  I am entering August as though it is a race car. I plan a fast ride!   August is our month to pull it together.  What does that mean for you?

Acceleration Plan for August

New content is prepared for this blog. New opportunities for you to save, reach your goals and prosper will be available.  Categories will change promoting quick access to resources for prosperous living essentials, travel and fun.

Wise ideas for your home, health and wealth await you.

Little gifts may arrive at unexpected times.  Recently, I learned the value of unexpected gifts!

A friend of mine who lives in Charlotte surprised me with a gift box.  She called it a fun box.  It was fun to open it, get presents when it wasn’t any “special occasion”  just a thought of love.  Although, she hasn’t met my granddaughter, Eliana, she included gifts for her.  Eliana and I have used and enjoyed the gifts many times.

Love Looks Like This

.

 

We had a breakfast date and opened our fun box.  It was like Christmas in July.

I want to be a copycat and send some fun boxes to those who would not ever expect one. Visit with me each day and we will go on a prosperous journey.

For now, it is time to say goodnight.  Tomorrow starts a new day.  Let’s

Goforth and Prosper,

 Have fun!

Trash or Treasure In Storage

May 10, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Trash or Treasure, You decide

My Clean up-Scavenger Hunt

I have trash and treasures stored in a rented building.

Have you ever watched one of the shows where the people are hoarders? I have watched and always find myself critical.  It seems to me they should immediately throw trash away before it rents space in their home.  I rented a storage unit for my trash and treasures.

 When I moved from a big house, I sold massive and beautiful pieces of furniture. Wow! Eliminating the big pieces made me feel I had managed quiet well. I kept the things I planned to use. They needed a place to live for awhile, so I rented a storage building.

Storage Building

Monday, I worked in my storage building.  My plan was to  remove all trash  and be ready to keep or give some  treasures.  The building is full and I thought it was organized. It is a mess.  My treasures and trash have resided there for over 4 years!

Hours later, hot and dirty, I left.  Did I make progress? Yes, but it just cleared the surface.  Unfortunately, every container demanded my hands and eyes in order to  find my own treasures and discard the rest.  Cleanup will take  a few days.

What is in My Storage?

If you are considering downsizing or just plain tidying up, let me share my story with you:

In the storage building there are 5 huge  boxes of paper. Yep, paper.  Granted some papers and files were supposed to be kept for 3 years. They have lived in storage for 4 years. Therefore, they are destined to become  a beautiful burn pile.

Next, a friend had given me a neat  two drawer file cabinet. I was sure I could spray paint it and use it someday. Reluctantly, I put it on the list of my Trash. A beautiful bookcase with the flimsy back off stood against the wall. To repair, the back board needs to be attached.  In addition,  the shelves are somewhere in the building.  The complete bookcase will be my trash and someones treasure.

Where do Treasures Hide

Once in Marble, N.C. a wise gentleman stopped along the side of the road where a couch was thrown away. Popping out his knife, he began to slash the arms and low and behold, little coins and some dollars fell out.  He said old couches were banks for money. Now, I look for money in things I love.

I love little jars.  Spice jars, jelly jars, jars with sauce any little jars. So, it was no surprise,  money was sleeping in a spice jar.

 

 

Treasures Hide In Memories

Memories are most important.  Every penny I paid for  storage was well spent because  hundreds of pictures, some in albums and some loose are there. I found $17.00 in this bottle!

My Mother’s Bible…worn and with a little kleenex is in a container.  I know she would have it open to some scripture maybe this one…..

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.’ So God granted him what he requested.”   1 Chronicles 4:10

Oh, her picture is there and while thinking of her, I could smell her perfume.

Proof of family time came in the form of pictures, old school certificates and plane tickets. Yes, I confess, so much useless paper like used plane tickets, receipts, old unread magazines and stuff all over the place.

Toward the end of my packing career, I put some things in cardboard boxes.  Don’t use cardboard boxes.  They draw moisture, odor and if you don’t use some type of bug spray the bugs will take residence in them.’

Do I recommend Purging?  Yes!

Purging is a physical detox.  Finally, you let go of “stuff” that once held importance.

Now, be honest…as spring comes to a close, isn’t there something in your house that needs to claim the garbage can as home?  While doing your spring cleaning maybe you would like to do what I did…

I cleared some cobwebs from my mind by throwing away newspaper articles, some greeting cards (well, I couldn’t part with all of them)  tickets to events, and just random notes. Other things, I will not use immediately, will become someone else’s treasure.

The future awaits the arrival of my Treasures and …..some lucky person will eagerly accept my Trash. Possible treasures include a keyboard, ironing board, iron, extra set of dishes, some random cookware and jars, and bottles and glasses! Oh, there is a bookcase, many books, new shoes and lots more.

Christmas items and other holiday decor is stored.

Key question to ask when determining Trash or Treasure is:  Can it be replaced?  Any Yes, designated the item for the Trash.   What causes things to become a burden?  Life happenings create change and eliminate needs. So, divorce, death, end of a season of friendship, maturity, or just plain obsolete things become a burden.

Instead of paying storage on things I have no desire to keep, I have a disposal plan. I will post an ad…offering to gift great things, awful things and necessary home items to some lucky person…Come and get it for $25.00. The catch is you must take my  Trash as well as your Treasure find!

Want to come to my scavenger hunt?  Come on, it’s in the beautiful State of Tennessee!  Let’s

Go forth and Prosper

Words to Declare Life & Prosperity

April 19, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Words of Life and Prosperity

Depositing Words into My Word Bank

From the first of April until the 15th, I made the following word withdrawals from my word bank:

God, Aware, Be, Connect, Do, Educate, Finish, Joy, Kind, Mission, Learn, Play, Quit

Taking Action

Now, the fun has started!  The first day was easy, I concentrated on everything I could think of God had provided. The  word Aware was the beginning as I had to be aware of the wonderful things God had done.  Day two added the word Be and  I continue to deposit one word each day.  Now, I  have 17 words (only 13 listed here)

Results

The energy in my body has shifted, my activities have changed!  This is working.  My days look like this:

Good Morning, Monday…   Good Morning God, Good Morning Jesus, Holy Spirit reside in me today!  I trust this day finds you happy and whole with peace in your Soul!

Outside the kitchen window the sky is a palette of dark clouds, sprinkled with some light shining through, projecting an array of gray, a hue of yellow, platters of white and little holes showing the blue sky.

Today,  I will rise above the clouds to have a smooth and productive ride.

Since my visit with sickness a couple of weeks ago, I am aware to be thankful each hour and for each breath I take.  I see the beauty in little things that are miraculous. Last week, I watched tiny little shoots on the tree become buds and this morning they are transformed to little leaves. God paints a gorgeous picture.

Aware is my most impactful word leading to changes in my thoughts and actions.

Specific Focus

Projects called forth by being acutely aware of each action for prosperity even as my soul prospers are as follows:

Health:  I am taking vitamins, drinking apple cider with lemon and hot water daily, walking a bit further each day, reading and enjoying family and rest! I weigh daily to keep me aware of mindful eating. The doctor asked me to quit drinking coffee.

Financial:  developing instruction courses to guide others to prosperity.  The courses will provide income for me. Some of the books and materials will make my writing defined and encourage connection.

Education:  Completing classes I purchased from Crystal Paine, the Money Saving Mom.  So far, I have taking her Blogging class, Make over your Mornings and Email. These are to increase my skills to make money on-line.

Are you interested in learning? Stay tuned for a complete blog with information how to start.

Learning to speak and write concisely,  declaring what I mean and meaning what I say.

Reading:  Eats Shoots and Leaves, by Lynne Truss.  She opens the book with the following illustration:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.”Why?” asks a confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

“Well, I’m a panda,” he says. “Look it up.”    Sure enough a panda eats shoots and leaves.

Read my review for Eating Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss on my resource page.

Finally, my job is to be Aware of my written and spoken words.  All other tasks find their place.  The end of April, I will share with you the changes resulting from speaking  and writing well-chosen words!

How about you? Are your words creating life and prosperity?  Let’s

Go Forth and Prosper,

Prosperous Life Words

April 8, 2019 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

WITHDRAW A WORD EACH DAY,

DEPOSIT IT AGAIN WITH INTEREST

  April 2019 LIFE BANK  Go forth &  Prosper
1. Aware 8. Habit 15 Opportunity 22 Value
2. Be 9. Identify 16 Play 23 Weight
3. Connect 10. Joy 17 Quit 24 Xero-hero
4. D0 11. Kind 18 Responsible 25 Yes
5. Educate 12. Learn 19 Seize 26 Zoom
6. Finish 13. Mission 20 Teach
7. God 14. No 21 Unleash

This is the master word bank for the month of April , 2019.  Each day, I withdraw one word and focus on it constantly.  At the end of 26 days, I will have internalized and applied the actions of 26 life-giving words.  I expect great changes when the words of my tongue call forth life.

I remember being excited when each of my sons spoke their first word.  Of course, it was Mama.  Well, maybe not, perhaps my memory is selective.  Whey my oldest son was 11 our neighbor was a language Professor. She introduced the action of rewarding each new word by putting a nickel into their word bank!

Words increase each year.  Phrases like “This is killing me.”  “I can’t.”   “I am dying to know.”  These are not examples of true and powerful statements.  Yet, once verbalized, we internalize them and they become real.  Guess what?

I went to the Urgent Care facility 2 weeks ago and the Dr. said you have pneumonia.  You can’t play with this.  It is deadly.  Well, if I didn’t feel near death when I went in, I sure felt it when I left. Death became real to me.  Fear gripped the little lung power I had left. Ouch!

The Bible gives us specific instructions for our words.

Proverbs 31:26    She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Psalm 141:3  Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.

There are hundreds of scriptures instructing us how to speak.  Like mindless eating, I find my words to be lacking substance during the past 3 years.  Today it’s back to basics, learning words of life and internalizing them in my soul.  I will share with you how my progress goes!

When we journey into May, some words will change.  My key word for this year is Aware.   Awareness connects with every word in the word bank.  I must be aware of what I  say, do, think, see, hear, and touch.

How is the health of your mouth today?  It’s time to live,

Go Forth & Prosper,

Molinda Sue

After Action Review of 2018

January 12, 2019 by Molinda Goforth 1 Comment

 


After Action Review of 2018

After action review of 2018 in a constructive way revealed I must be careful not to travel the same road.

Note to self:  Don’t look back You are not going that way.

Brutally Honest Assessment of 2018

My needs are met. I have food, clothing and shelter, health insurance, family, church and wonderful pastor.  The Brutally Honest truth is My Cup is Empty. During the year, I  let go of many frustrations, disappointments and my perceived failures. Results are a cup empty of emotions, a frugal bank account and a complacent environment.

In 2019,  I will fill my cup.  No Refills Please!

Positive results of actions for 2018 :

  1.  A marker for my Dad’s grave.  He died in the 90s and there wasn’t a foot stone to acknowledge his burial. My Dad wasn’t the same man when he left as he was when I was growing up. Alzheimer’s captured his thoughts sometimes in an unkind way. Old hurts surfaced. I wasn’t happy with his remarriage. For today, I honor him for being the Dad he didn’t have to be.  I was adopted. His remains no longer stay in an unmarked grave. I made peace with his second wife.

.    2. A family trip with me, Eliana and Kris across country. In August, we traveled by car                from Montana to Kentucky.  Tennessee and South Carolina were included.

  1. Visits with family in Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina.

  1. My son Mark,met his 10- year old Niece for the first time. In Kentucky  children grew up and settled near relatives.  It was inconceivable to me my middle son had not met his niece and lives 2200 miles away.  So blessed to have time with the two sons and my granddaughter.

  1. Great Health report.

  1. My goal to activate my Tennessee Real Estate Brokers license happened.

  1. Completed several online courses for knowledge and skill to launch an online business. Even more important, I studied and studied God’s word.

Seven powerful statements for desires fulfilled in 2018.

Brutally Honest Truth must disclose I missed 3 major goals.

A home inspection for a house you consider purchasing must have full disclosure of anything wrong.  Then, the buyer and seller have a choice to make if anything unfavorable is disclosed.

The seller can fix or repair items in question.

The buyer can agree to accept it as is and be content.

I have a home inspection which encompasses my body, mind and soul.  Here’s the side throughout the year I vaguely disclosed.

My Soul was healed and released of an Orphan Spirit.  My mind and body remained a challenge.

The acquired deformity in my foot  restricted my walking, making money, being happy, and probably my longevity.  Is that true? I declared it to be true the first of the year of 2018. It’s 2019 and I acknowledge…it is not true!  Yes, it presents restrictions, .It was true the past year because I made a choice to make it true. I constantly spoke words confirming my “condition.”  I limited my physical movement and financial goals.

A new friend in 2018 is a massage therapist.  She jokingly describes my foot as a little elf foot!  I love that description….just like an imaginary happy little elf who hopped on a shelf, my little elf foot carries me on.  It is not deformed but normal for me.

I  made a choice not to fully disclose the true amount of pain with anyone outside of my immediate space. God had mercy on those in my immediate space. I confess to being very negative.  I have learned it’s okay to be honest to accept the things we can’t change, change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference.  I resisted the things I could not change and their negative influence persisted.

The brutally honest truth is ….pain is my constant companion.  Can I change it? No. I can live and acknowledge the pain, stretch my limits for what I accepted to be restriction and know God honors me when I speak life into my dry hurting bones!  When pain stands between me and a desired action, I will be honest and decline not whine. I will be kind and not offended when others don’t remember I may not be able to do some things with them.    So,  this year, you just watch me and God go.

I looked in the mirror and then compared pictures from long previous years.  Sorry, but I don’t like the image in the mirror. Is it an image that will remain forever? No, the fat lady in the mirror doesn’t have to stick around.  My brutally honest truth today is I am borderline obese and looking forward to my normal weight. I am excited with my action plan for weight loss this year.

Enlightenment came when a friend in our writing group posted  “What if you Were Not Beautiful.” Oh my goodness….her article brought tears to my eyes. (click on beautiful to read)  I have never felt pretty much less beautiful but I was at one time so proud of my pretty little feet. I am short and I was also proud of my petite frame. God didn’t make me fat.  I did. God didn’t injure my foot.  I did.  My misgivings don’t change the beauty God sees in me.

The brutally honest truth is I have made pictures without my feet in them… I noticed the stares from people in public. Sometimes I was sure they were saying to themselves…Oh…..what happened to her foot…Is one leg shorter than the other? I constantly felt like the runt of the litter when others bounded up the steps and my 98-year-old neighbor went faster than me. Is it true that others have been cruel at times? Yes. Did their words hurt when I heard them? Yes. Was my reaction justified?  Maybe.

No,  truth is my feelings hurt when I became acutely aware I no longer walk like I used to walk.  I cannot run. Walking an incline is difficult and uneven ground almost impossible today. The truth is I have my own foot and I can walk and Life is Good. Each day I will look forward to constant and never-ending improvement.

Did I mention I made new friends in 2018 who empathized with pain and lack.  Shall I still consider these people “friends”? No, they are acquaintances.  I pray the Light of God shines so bright in my life they may reach out to Him for their needs.

It was my verbal desire to live in Franklin. I did not put any action into the desire.  The season for me to live in Franklin may be in the past. I am not there. Am I going to make a Franklin residence a goal for this year?  No. I declare I will Go where God leads me to go. If I am hesitant or afraid I will go anyway!  It’s refreshing and a return to youthful exuberance to look forward to the surprise God has for me.

What are my goals for this year?   I will greet each day with love in my heart and the intention to do a good deed for someone during the day. I will choose a verb each day and live into the word fully.   Twenty Six Words will pave my path forward.

I will develop the habit to think before I speak, strive to respond not react. I know the power of Life and Death is in my tongue.

That’s your hint.   Each day will have a word assigned to live into from the alphabet. Yep,  I am doing my ABC’s. The words I speak will empower me to walk more, straighter, embrace and release the pain.  I will speak over my life Proverbs 31 and as a blessed female walk in prosperity, my cup will run over and I will share with you.  My primary word  this year is Steady.  I tend to accomplish more in a sprint.

My word for the day will introduce my thoughts. My thoughts will drive me to new habits, my habits change my life.  Words are a part of my life, my cup will overflow daily.

For the first time in many years, I don’t have written goals.  Statements declaring I will make x-amount of dollars this year, buy a new house, build a new house, travel a designated amount of miles and move to a definite address are not written.  I am an open vessel for the abundance of God to enter and fill my entire being.

I am happy to read your goals, celebrate your achievements and share my blessings.

For now, it’s time for me to write in the present …write of Gods grace in my life and the wonderful things He has for you and me.  Come on let’s

Go Forth and Prosper together,

Molinda Sue

 I will apply my ABC’s for change during  the next 30 days. Each day is assigned a letter, each letter connected to a word and Sundays are just for God, relaxation and family.

Today’s letter is A….. I connect and define it as Awareness, Assurance, and Action!

Awareness: For  each habitual activity, I will be aware of the task, Assured by my Faith, I can complete  and apply the appropriate Action for results.

First, I pray each morning. It is clear to me, I have a one sided conversation with God.  With this enlightened Awareness, I commit to listen to God. I  vividly recall working  for someone else. I was always available to accept the call from the Boss…..  Forgive me God, for just applying the same respect for you.

Yesterday, I replanted two special gifts…an Orchid that did not bloom this year and a Banana tree. Each was a mother’s day gift. The Orchid bloomed in May for three years. This year it needed a change. The Banana tree is young, growing rapidly and needed a bigger Pot!

Today’s Awareness:  the plants visibly look happy this morning.  The leaves are standing tall. What made the difference? I bought a new pot, filled with new dirt nourished with fertilizer, pruned the wilted leaves, planted with love,  and changed the location  where they live.

God, please answer. How do I describe and apply this analogy?

  1. Awareness: A New pot for me, learn new skills and nourish the existing ones, Move forward with Faith in God and share to help others.

  2. Assurance:  I am on the right road.

  3. Action: Share my skills and knowledge to help others!

Last week I went to Toys r Us on their last day to be open in our town.  When I checked out I asked the cashier where he would work? He said, “The internet has killed our business.  There is no work. I don’t know what I will do.”  Duh!  He could take action to learn and sell on-line and be his own cashier!

His remark made me Sad!  As I shopped and visited with strangers in the store many were stocking up to sell their bargains online.  As with a Brick and Mortar store you must learn how to reach your invisible online audience, connect and supply their need.

Today,  to Learn and Earn  I am completing a course from Crystal Paine! Our world has changed, shopping has changed, the process for buying houses has changed.  Buying toys, clothing, homes, land, cars. any purchase I can think of is related to online shopping.

We visit virtually, buy remotely and to survive and thrive we need to learn and earn.  I have been learning new skills and I wish to share the opportunities with you!

My action today to Learn and Earn is this course from Crystal Paine. I will learn how to grow my audience and how to communicate effectively online.  I have taken several from Crystal, this one is discounted until midnight Eastern Standard time.  Perhaps it’s time for you to Learn and Earn!  The course will continue to be available but not at this discount.

Buy it today at the discounted price.  Wait, if you are not sure and pay more.  I love bargains.  Crystal is for real, I have followed her for years.  I believe you will learn, enjoy and perhaps earn .  See you tomorrow for B day.

Go forth & Prosper,

Molinda Sue
