"I have finally embraced the reality that, in this life, the unexpected will happen. In particular, I have come to terms with the certainty that we all will encounter in our lifetime our share of the unforeseen, the unannounced, and the uninvited. Thus, as I came to this sobering conclusion at the outset of one of my most challenging journeys ever, God began a dialogue with me that changed my life forever. And guess where He started? At the beginning. That’s right. He took me back to the Creation. He took me back to a time where the scriptures say that in everything that He saw, “it was good.” Moreover, for six months, God walked with me through my valley experience illuminating at each turn His original road map for that which He designed as “good” in the Creation. In turn, I soon discovered what God has always purposed “good” to be for man: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). That is, God’s definition of “good” for every believer is that our lives resemble His likeness." –from the Introduction of "My Seven-Day Makeover: One Breast Cancer Survivor's Spiritual Journey"

Spiritual in nature, it captures her attitude and perspective as she went through the healing process, and details her change in diet and health as a result of her research concerning cancer and lifestyle.

My DVD Documentary Trailer “Progression of a Child Prodigy”
Chelsea (12 years old) performs Beethoven and Chopin at a church. Different musicians got together to share each others talents. It’s normally called a shed. Chelsea thought it was comical to hear other musicians reacting to her performance. Check it out.
I like that song, "I'm Blessed". I'm going to have to get your CD. It is reminiscent of some Fred Hammond. I really enjoy your music. I sincerely can say, that I cannot say that about a lot of artists these days. Continue to bless him.

Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you!!!
I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!!
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips?" It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness...For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.
It's BEAUTIFUL Women Month Hugs, Squeeeeeze!!! You've been given a hug.
