The energy you carry can either lift a mood, improve a person's outlook, or darken the brightest day. You are your greatest support system and your authenticity is the gift you share with others. When you allow your perspective to broaden, you also allow the joy that surrounds you to seep in. It's in the little things, like a hello, a held door, an admired chuckle. It's contagious energy. What kind of energy are you choosing to carry today?

Ever found yourself a part of gossip and disappointed in your choices later? It happens to the best of us. I hope that the lesson is learned quickly and not repeated but hey, we humans sometimes need an extra dose of get right. But thank goodness that our God is patient and always ready to correct with a gentle hand. Remember, it's never too late to bridle your tongue. Your character depends on it.

The last few months of 2024 were a roller coaster ride for me and probably most.  Life changes, election results, downsizing, layoffs, and deaths all had their placement on many calendars. The gift is that tomorrow brings new beginnings and a rainbow after the rain if you choose to see it. Each year I give myself a motivational word or two so I have a focal point that propels me through the year. Join me in 2025 in discovering the More you desire and what you can do to create it or make room to receive it.

Our memories serve as time stamps of life's joyful moments and challenging triumphs. Today's guest Dorian Jackson shares how a memory from the age of four made her a proponent for change, personal integrity, and living on purpose.  In today's episode, Dorian shares how the Lord's whisper prepared her for her second career in the political realm. The memory of a prophetic word at the age of 17 shifted her awareness and motivated her to be a voice for the people with a strong message of equal opportunities and community awareness.  I hope your takeaway from Dorian's episode provokes you to be intentional in your life's purpose and choices as you too may one day be led to be a voice for the voiceless.Want to connect?www.jackson4weho.poliengine.comIG: dorian4weho

"If you want to make God laugh, man plans." Oh, how often have I heard that saying? I'm a planner. I love creating to-do lists and checking them off once accomplished, but life has a way of stopping me dead in my tracks. Sometimes it's someone else's emergency or work or the weather. Either way, I've learned how important it is to stop and pay attention to the change. I connect everything to a lesson and the Lord. I've noticed, more often than not, that protection followed that change of plans. I couldn't see it right away, sometimes it's taken years but oh the power of patience and stillness. The gift of learning to listen to the spoken and unspoken has probably saved my life. So if you find yourself with a shift in your daily routine or an unexpected pivot of plans, rest in the fact that that hiccup could be a redirection that's covered in blessings.
