Greetings Everyone and Welcome 2025!

So here we are at the top of the year. As I pen this sentiment, I am gladly reminded of the download I received back at the end October 2024: "It's high time to THRIVE in this next season. Position yourself in 2025 and beyond to move in Vitality, Vibrancy and Creativity amore."

Those words were etched in my mind and every day since, I have been purposing in aligning myself to become the fullness of that in my life. There is always room to grow, room to renew oneself, and opportunities to boost these areas. Indeed. I thanked the Lord for his wonderful download and assignment for me in this vein of THRIVING. It is with much ease, much reflection, yet grit, that I endeavor to implement and embody this even more through whatever I put my hands to do, one step at a time because, as I always say, "each step is making a difference."

Sometimes THRIVING isn't easy. It is an act of our will to stay the course, to build it and to stay in that mode. We may run into roadblocks that impede our paths, pitfalls that may try to sidetrack or divert our plans, brick walls of doubt and even potholes may attempt to try to set us back.

Yet, in this, the Greater One is still inside of us and has called us to place of fully THRIVING. I am drawing upon an encouraging scripture that serves as a promise and a reminder to us. "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." That's John 10:10b. That's absolutely THRIVING. Every facet, every part, in totality.

This season brings me to deeper place of awareness and understanding that we are called to move in vitality, vibrancy and creativity.

So, what exactly is THRIVING? I am so glad you asked. I have dissected that word several years ago when I felt the need to share my THRIVE Masterclasses and host my "She Wears Dignity & Strength THRIVE Retreat." in an effort to shed light on the exuberance that we all have inside, radiate and create, whether that is through our gifts, skills, talents, our homes, our living spaces, our leisure, our occupations, our aspirations, our motivations, in our mindsets, in our pocketbooks or wallets, in our education, our bodies and even our personal development. Are we THRIVING?

That's such an engaging, yet important question.

Are we moving in a capacity of flourishing fully? Are we

growing vigorously? Are we prospering holistically?

(meaning the whole person). Are we full of enthusiasm

and present an inherent zeal for liveliness? Do our

spaces scream "growth!" or "let's create and generate

new ideas!?" Again, these are great questions to begin

with and to use as a launching pad this new season

and beyond.

My motivation is to empower and inspire, through what

I put my hands to do. My desire is to let that overflow

into innovation and flourishing in the many areas of my
