It's a New SEASON!!! Rediscovering the New Me!!

Have you heard of that song by Israel & New Breed (New Season)?

It's a new season, it's a new day.
A fresh anointing is flowing my way.
It's a season of power and prosperity.
It's a new season coming to me.


That's exactly how I feel. For the first time as I can remember, I feel fresh and anew. Is it because I turned 40 this year. If so, I Love it!! I love this feeling. Life don't stop at 40 it gets better. At 40 I feel a special energy. A verve and passion for life and for what I do that I have never felt before. 

Today has literally been a breath of fresh air as Fall started my day with temps in the 70s. I am so excited to begin this favorite season of mine. New Me for a New Season!! 

Back in April of this year, I lost my full-time job and that itself was a Blessing!! Being home with my growing family was where I wanted to be. Getting Amber ready for school in the mornings, attending her school functions, and just being an active part of her schooling is what I missed dearly when I was in the working  world. Spending my entire days with Ashleigh & April here at home and just being there for them makes me Happy. Of course I had a backup plan, I decided to give my business a full blast. This led me into making a full-time income while here at home. I was able to do what Sheyrl wanted to do for a chance.

Since then, I have been on a path to lose weight, look better, eat healthy, feel better, and enjoy every single, blessed day of my life. With each day of seeing a more vibrant and polished image in the mirror, my confidence and joy returned a hundred fold. I fell in love with myself again!! This is when I began to take a more serious approach and help others who wanted change in their lives too. I realized that there are alot of people who are hurting, stressed out in the working world, unhappy with life and themselves. I was there too. I am a work in progress but I am Almost there. I realized that we are all blank canvases just ready to be painted by a master.  That is what is so beautiful about all of us...we are different portraits...not meant to look the same or be the same. 

Here are some recent pics of me and my family!! Enjoying Life!!

Do What You Love and Have Passion Doing So!!

Recently, I put out a saying on one of the social media sites stating LORD, I need you. I sometimes sit in a quiet place and wonder and reflect on how I do it all. How I am able to continue on because I do get discouraged at times. And I know for a fact that my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is the very one that gets me through.

As you know (or some of you) I work full-time managing a very important database system for the State of North Carolina and it is very challenging and stressful at times. I have to learn to let work stay at work and not for it to interfere with my personal & home life. I am in ups about my professional career as to whether I want to continue to do this or let it go completely.  I have found something that I really love to do and have a passion for. And that is Network Marketing. Many of you frown at the thought of it but let me tell you that's how Millionaires are made and thats how many people are getting ahead in these hard economic times. Over the course of network marketing I have met so many great people all across the world. And for me, all it took was my passion to learn the business and my Toshiba laptop. The rest is history because I have partnered with a company and so many inspiring people that are changing so many lives. Average people like You and Me!!

I am sharing this with you because many of you are like me or was in my shoes at one point or another. You are working in your professional careers but your passion lies else where. I challenge you to start working on your passions. If you can't stop working your professional career because of other circumstances, do something daily that will help you get a footstep closer to working your passion or dream. I truly believe that we as a people are here to prosper in business and to do what we have a passion for. I think this is short, simple, and to the point and I hope most of you who are struggling about making a decision to pursue your passions over your professional careers take a step out on Faith abd Believe!!

I leave this with you and I think it applies to your personal life, business life, and family life.
 
"Do one thing every day that makes you happy. You deserve it! Make a point to do something good for you. Your life matters. Enjoy it! Cultivate the practice of treating yourself and your business extremely well. Remember that the greatest and most memorable things in life don't involve spending money. Today it's about Making Money!!!

Take time to focus on you for a change. By taking better care of yourself, you will enhance your emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. This will deepen your inner strength, and build reserves of resiliency, so that you will be better prepared to handle whatever life throws at you. Life will come with the bitter and the sweet. Take the time to make and savor moments of sweetness whenever you can. You are a treasure!"~Les Brown
 
 
Peace & Blessings,

Relax, Enjoy Life, And Smell the Roses!!

Live with enjoyment

Enjoyment is not something you take. It is something you give.
Enjoyment is not a function of your circumstances. Enjoyment is a choice you can make, regardless of the circumstances.
When you choose to enjoy where you are, it opens your eyes to the positive possibilities. When you decide to enjoy what you’re doing, your effectiveness skyrockets.
Enjoy your day, and you add joy not only to your own life but also to all of life around you. Enjoy who you are, and from who you are will flow great and meaningful value.
Give the gift of your own genuine enjoyment. Demonstrate your gratitude and immense respect for life by truly enjoying each precious moment.
Instead of reacting to life with frustration or disappointment or anger, make the choice to enjoy what life brings your way. Live with enjoyment, and give the best of who you are.
— Ralph Marston

     Hello and yes its been a minute since I last posted!! The title of this post is Relax, Enjoy Life, and Smell the Roses and that's exactly what I have been doing the past 3 months!! Doing what I Love to do!! I took a step back and learned how to stop and relax. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life and activities, it's easy to become overwhelmed, stressed out and anxious.  In order to live a happier, healthier life, we do need to slow down and learn to live in the moment. Take time to relax, and learn how to stop and smell the roses. Only then can you recharge your batteries and appreciate what life has to offer.
     I took the time to relax, and learn how to stop and smell the roses. I then recharged my batteries and appreciated what life had to offer. I took time from my professional career to spend with my newborn (April), took the kids to a couple of places for fun, and enjoyed spending quality time with my loved-ones. I am a go strong person and when I see something I like or want to accomplish, I don't stop until that goal has been accomplished.

Until recently, I learned not to ponder on the small things and I learned that its okay if you don't hit a certain goal in a time period that you set for yourself. It's okay!! You can pick up where you left and continue on!!

So here are some thought provoking tips that can prepare you to Stop and Smell the Roses!!

1. Make a list of all that you do have that makes you happy. Some of these items may not b everything you want them to be, but include them anyway. Some examples could be:
  • Your car: it may not be the model you wish you had but it still gets you from point a to point b.
 
  • Your job: it may not be the job you envisioned yourself in but it is your job.Remind yourself that many people don't have one.
 
  • Your spouse and children: they may not be perfect but they are a part of your life. Go tell them you love them. Watch their eyes light up.
 





  • Your home: it may not be that big mansion you dreamed of when you were a child but it is yours; even if you are renting. You do have a home.
2. Take some time out to do something special just for yourself. This could be anything from a bubble bath to a gourmet dinner. Do something special for yourself at least once a day even if it is just eating a piece of chocolate. Savor the moment.3. Do something special for a loved one without expecting anything in return, including a thank you. Just watch their face, see their enjoyment and know only you could do it for them. 4. Keep a journal. Write down everything good that has happened to you this day. Before long, you will begin to see the good as it happens and you will be in the moment as it does.5. Find the humor in any situation. Laughter is and has always been the best medicine. By learning to laugh, you learn to enjoy everything life throws at you.Living in the moment is not hard, but it is a skill to be learned. Start small and learn to take each day as it comes. You will begin to understand that each day, each moment is precious.

Start living those moments.

WOW!! TIME Awaits No One!!




Wow!! Its been along time since I blogged!! There has been alot going on in my life that I had to stop blogging for a while. This is a New Year and I have accomplished alot and have grown since this past year. I have learned and watched alot from my mentors and others (never too old to stop learning). So I started a new JOB, a new internet marketing business, finished my Masters degree, and focused my attention on my family and my business.
http://www.getskinnywithsheyrl.com/

I value Family and its very important to have that bond with each and everyone of them. Its a bond that no one, not even the Devil can break. So I spent my time being with my loving family and doing my daily duties as a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and mentor. Focusing on ME for a change (What Sheyrl Wants) and that is not been selfish. You know; getting to know my inner self!! And that's a GOOD thing!! Most of us tend to forget about ourselves when the realm of life happens. We don't have time for ourselves. We focus so much of our time on the day to day issues that we tend to forget sometimes on how Blessed we are!!


There is a quote by Ralph Marston that states:

"Nothing will be of any use to you unless you have the capacity within yourself to know it and accept it. Peace, love, beauty, success and fulfillment have meaning to you only when they have meaning within you."

It is by knowing yourself that you can know all else. It is through nurturing love and goodness within you that you can experience love and goodness in the world around you. To be at peace with the way things are, be at peace with the way you are. To be confident in the affairs of the world, nurture confidence within the stillness of your inner self. The reality that matters is the reality that has meaning and resonance within you. What you see, what you experience, and what you live, all come from who you are. If you feel that something is missing in your life, turn inward. Find and nurture it there. Make a beautiful place for yourself within yourself. Then let that beauty flow out through all that is.





So I leave this for you. Man or Woman, I believe that this will help you in some way.

To know your inner self is to know your purpose, your values, your visions, your motivations, your goals and your beliefs.


So here are a few suggestions:

1. Learn how to Relax and find that Quiet place for Peace.

2. Meditate

3. Become closer to your Spiritual being.

4. Do what YOU do Best.

5. Seek a Role Model.

6. Be Proud of who YOU .

7. Read a good Self-Help or Motivational book.

8. Love Yourself.

9. Reduce Stress

10. Listen to your intuition.

DO YOU KNOW THE TOP SECRETS OF SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES.......










DO YOU KNOW THE TOP SECRETS OF SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES:





1. Set your sights on where you’re going. Have a vision. Think big. And remember that everyone has to start at the beginning. Even Warren Buffet had to invest $25 before he could make $25 billion. Set lofty goals, and then begin taking small steps to reach them.

2. Educate yourself. Read books and magazines. Remember KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

3. Passion pays off. Love what you do. When you’re passionate about your work, you care about the consequences.

4. Grow your money. Pay yourself first. When you’re living paycheck-to-paycheck, it can be difficult to look beyond your immediate needs. But it’s precisely by doing this that you’ll have the best chance for escaping your circumstances.

5. No guts, no glory. Take risks. I’ve often heard that successful people are the biggest failures of all. They’ve failed many times. But they pick themselves back up and try again. Most people never try because they’re afraid of the possible downsides. Successful people don’t worry about the downside — they’re focused on the possible payoff.

Millionaire Mindset


About 10 years ago I was working a job that I did not like. I was surrounded by many people that were doing the same thing. Only doing the job because of the money. No Goals, No Aspirations, No motivation, and No Dreams. I allowed myself to get caught up in the rapture of working many hours and not focusing on what I really wanted to do in my life. I followed the Mindset of those people and I soon began to realized that I was at a Dead End. I began to move myself from that situation and began doing the things that I really wanted to do. In order for me to do that, I had to Refocus my Mindset by surrounding myself with people that were positive, motivating, and wanted similar things out of life like I did. I started educating myself; reading self-help books and listening to motivating material.


One of my goals was that I knew that I had deep down inside me was to be in Business for myself. I wanted to be my own Boss. Doing what, I did not know. Like many successful Entrepreneurs, I have tried many things. Writing resumes, Credit Counseling, Mary Kay, Gift Baskets, and the list goes on. I failed in some of those ventures and I have made a little money in some. But I did not give up. I kept doing what I did on a consistent basis. Again, had to change my way of thinking. I had to think outside the box and come up with a Serious Why, if I wanted to succeed in my businesses. And that was CHANGE MY MINDSET..........


I would like to share with you an article I read about Millionaire Mindset. This article was written by a successful business entrepreneur by the name of Daegan Smith.


A Millionaire Mindset

Have you ever wondered why there are individuals who are wealthy and there are those who are poor?

Have you ever asked yourself why you can't seem to make ends meet while there are some who have riches that would last them several lifetimes?
What secrets do these successful individuals know?

What kind of mystical powers do they hold?


The answer is simple. It's all in the way they think. Wealthy individuals have the so-called millionaire mindset. It is this way of thinking that separates the successful individuals from the rest of the population. The subconscious mind is very powerful. It is much more powerful than your conscious mind. It can either help you fulfill your dream or hold you back from the success you want in business and in life. The subconscious mind is made up of ideas and beliefs formed in early childhood. The thing is, these ideas and beliefs have a tremendous and powerful effect on our lives as an adult even if we don't consciously remember them. If you believe that money is evil or that money is hard to get, then surely you will have a hard time acquiring wealth and your success will be limited. Even though you go through the motions to reach your goal, you'll always fall short on something that is critical to your success.


But there are things that you can do today that could change your way of thinking and provide you with a millionaire mindset.



1. Take absolute responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Stop blaming others for all your problems. This is actually a very powerful concept if you really think of it because it makes you realize that you ca really do and achieve anything that you want from life.

2. Focus on the positive. The law of attraction states that what you attract whatever you give attention to. This means that if you focus on what you want then you'll eventually get it. We create a special vibration or emotional state with our thoughts and emotions. What we attract and draw to us, including people and situations, is a result of what we create. Therefore, if you create a negative vibration then people around you will pick up on it.


3. Love your work. Are you trying to be rich by spending 50 or more hours every week doing something you hate? Of course it wouldn't work. You can only be truly successful in life if you are doing what you enjoy. The primary concept, perhaps the most important, is that your quest for acquiring personal wealth should not be centered on the money, but rather on producing quality work. You will miss out on the other riches that life has to offer if your sole motivating factor for working is money.


4. Follow your own lead. It is true that sometimes copying someone else's actions or ideas can lead to some levels of success. But to become really successful, we must find our own voice and make our own path. After all, each of us is unique and has special qualities. Copying someone means that you are not employing, you are not employing your talents and skills to the fullest. Maximizing the use of the gifts God has given us is the only way we can really thank Him for giving us such gifts.


5. Love yourself. Believe that you have as much right to be happy as others. Believe that you deserve nothing but the best that life can offer and you will surely be blessed. Remember that it is only in loving oneself that we can truly love others. By loving ourselves and loving others, we open up ourselves to infinite blessings from the universe.


6. Never, ever be envious of other's success. If you see someone with a fancy car or a beautiful house say something like "Good for him!" If someone you know gets a promotion or wins an award, congratulate him and be sincere about it. Being envious will only block money and wealth from entering your life.


Do you want to become rich? Do you want to change your present situation? Then create a millionaire mindset by following the instructions above. Before long, miracles will start to happen in your life and blessings of wealth and abundance will start flowing in.


I am Now living by these 6 pointers and on my way. If you would like to know more as to what I am doing now check out my website at www.totalifechanges.com/2868591 and listen to this short pre-recorded call 857-957-1985.

New Beginnings -- Becoming A Better You

New Beginnings. We all love to see miraculous transformations. ... 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person."


Today I found this Poem that really stood out to me because of the new Ventures I am taking on in my life with my Family. I would like to share this poem with you and I pray that it will Inspire you to Follow Your Dreams.......


New Beginnings
by Gertrude B. McClain

It's only the beginning now...a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps...sometimes we walk alone
The best beginnings of our lives May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days The sun will shine tomorrow.
So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.
Into each life will always come
A time to start a new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.
Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.
The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.
