My First YouTube Video!!!

I finally mustered up the guts and the effort to make a video for Youtube.  Check out my video below to learn a little bit about me.  Please subscribe to my Belovemade Youtube channel!

Are You About That Life?

"OK, where is she going with this?”, you may ask.  Of course this urban euphemism has been popularized by the infamous reality tv star, Evelyn Lozado of Basketball Wives Miami.  On one BBW episode, the catty Evelyn yells out “B*tch, you aint about this life!”  Ummm, I don’t want to be about Evelyn’s life, nor am I implying you should desire to either.  BUT, seriously, I want to know are you about that life?  What life?  The life YOU want!  I’m sure most of us have goals & aspirations that seem pretty far-fetched.  How do you make those dreams a reality? 

Well, a good start would be to create a vision board.  According to authors Janet and Chris Attwood of the book “The Passion Test” - Never underestimate the power of the mind to create the vision you hold.  The whole thought behind the vision board, is that you are keeping your attention on the things you really want to grow stronger in your life.  Once you create your vision board, you should look at it daily. Sure, it may sound kind of hokey and warm and fuzzy, but if you do your research on vision boards, some pretty powerful people attest to the effectiveness of vision boards.  Several people have credited vision board creation in being a powerful transformational tool.  Oprah Winfrey is a huge vision board advocate.  I don’t know about you, but Oprah money sounds real good to me right now.  She damn sure is doing something right.  So that alone is enough to give me a stiff kick in the butt to follow suit!  This past week, after much procrastination I finally went ahead & created my vision board here it is. 

Several of my friends commented, “Oh, I really need to do this”.  Well, what’s stopping you?  Go ahead & do it NOW!  Be about that life now!  If being fancy with your board is holding you back, just get started.  You can always create another one if you don’t like your first one.  The main thing is take action and go do it!  All you really need is your some poster board (or a notebook), magazines, a marker, and glue and….your thoughts!  I urge you, start your vision board and go get YOUR life!
