<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Like a bird with a broken wing,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I feel limp and helpless,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite my afflictions I know I must rise up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">from the ashes like the Pheonix,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Beyond the horizon,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">through the vastness of an eternal sky,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">there you will see me fly;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The turbulent winds will suppress me no longer,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Please do not surrender to my weakness,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For I have a long journey ahead of me;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There's an intense force that lies within the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">confines of my consciousness,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A force I cannot explain,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I feel stronger than an ox,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And more courageous than a lion,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I can promise you however,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That upon reaching my destination,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There I will acknowledge you,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And there you will see me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">KEY WORD: </span><b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Excited!!</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 7.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">This morning I followed my usual daily
routine, woke up, brushed my teeth, fixed myself a hot cup of herbal tea, sat
at my desk and responded to some of my client’s emails…then, I get a text from
one of my bff’s asking, “Is your book out yet? Where can I get a copy?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">I was so ecstatic that I was finally going to
sale a copy to my first customer, (Yay!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">I know there are some people out there who think writing a book must be easy, but it actually takes a lot of hard work, patience, and persistence. Especially when it takes up mostly your whole day to
write your own personal biography to share it with the public in order to attempt in inspiring and motivating others to make positive changes in their daily lives in your own words.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">To tell you the truth, before I even started to write the book, I hesitated so much
to publish it because this was the first time I was going to share some of my personal life stories out to the public! Then on one particular day, after I had it all typed up and ready to go, and was still sitting in my USB drive, a friend of mine called me up saying, “if you believe your message will
help inspire others to change their lives the same way you changed yours, then
what’s stopping you? Publish it already!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Exactly!
Nothing was stopping me except myself. So, that was the day I published it. I wouldn’t say it’s
based on my whole life story, but only significant events in my life that helped open up my eyes to
see the world in a different perspective.
And the knowledge I gained from
my great-grandmother about herbal remedies, had also helped me tremendously
which I also share to my readers as an alphabetical glossary at the end of the
book. Not all herbs are listed, just
only the ones I’ve used that I have found helpful and beneficial to my health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">In
October of 2012, my father passed away due to Kidney Failure (had to go
through Kidney Dialysis treatment - which was not fun), Clogged Heart Arteries
(wore a heart pace-maker to keep his heart pumping), Diabetes (both of his legs
were amputated due to it) and throughout all of that, I was prepping my meals,
and followed a strict workout regimen in order to keep my promise to him that I
was going to compete in a Bikini Fitness Competition no matter what
happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Sadly, he passed away before my
competition date, November 2012, but I knew he was there in the audience
congratulating me for a job well done. I
didn’t place, but doing something that I had thought was beyond what I was
capable of doing was a major accomplishment for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.65pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">A few weeks after the competition, I fell into a sorrowful depression to where I was eating my feelings away mostly due to the loss of my
father. That's when I gained my wait back. And before I even decided to write my book, I
was diagnosed with Anemia which had shocked me entirely not knowing what to
expect from the disease. I don’t blame
it on anything or anyone except myself. And
after recollecting the </span><span style="line-height: 20.8667px;">traumatic</span><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;"> experiences my father had gone through before he had passed away, I
decided to get back into following</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 20.8667px;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 15.65pt;">healthier lifestyle by improving my eating habits,
working out regularly, and obtaining a spiritual balance. In other words, it was time to focus </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 15.65pt;">on my
health and on “me” for a change.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 15.65pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">That’s when my whole career outlook started to
change as well. I was persuaded by another friend of mine to obtain my certification as a holistic life coach that maybe
perhaps I would shed some light or at least some sort of motivation/inspiration to help
those who might be suffering in their lives and/or need to break free from
their life struggles/tribulations.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">She
thought I would be the perfect person for the job. Since then, I have never looked back. I am now a certified life coach and have been
for a while now, teaching others to improve their way of eating and living by using different methods & resources given to me by mentors I had met throughout my lifetime. In addition, I also gained knowledge and experience in becoming an Interior </span><span style="line-height: 20.8667px;">Decorator</span><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">, Entrepreneur, Author,
Writer, and Blogger. However, that’s only
the beginning. I have many more future career plans ahead of me that I would like to accomplish. I am currently in the process of writing a Young Adult Fantasy novel, and maybe possibly even launching a magazine. And that's not the half of it. I have much more in store for my readers, customers, and clients in my near not too distant future. That’s what life is all about right? </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">Enjoying </span></span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 15.65pt; text-align: center;">Life</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;"> and the </span></span><u style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 15.65pt; text-align: center;">Journey</u><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 15.65pt;">.</span></span></div>

why you have trouble waking up in the mornings to work out? Do you have a tendency
of prolonging your goals or task lists due to lack of motivation or you wait in
anticipation in hopes that it will take care of itself? Well, that is the monster
that lives inside of us all doing everything in its power to prevent
change. The monster will lead you to
procrastinate and force you to come up with excuses for not using different
tools and resources to help you gain success.
This dark energy is comfortable where it resides and builds a survival
mechanism to protect itself from positive change. That’s the reason why change is so difficult
for us and why positive thinking always fails.<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

subconscious level determines what we make of our own beliefs. Alter your belief and you can change the
reality that you experience. Convince
yourself in a subconscious level that you have acquired everything you want even

perceive depends upon what we look for; and what we look for depends upon what
we think. If you keep telling yourself
that you are having a bad day, then that’s how your day will turn out. So, if you’ve been told all of your life that
you will never amount to anything, then that is what has been welded into your
subconscious and that’s the reality you will experience.<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You must believe
within yourself that you deserve happiness, success, love, wealth, and good
health. Don’t feel the least bit guilty
about obtaining those feelings and emotions.
For many of us, we all have an unconscious gift about being happy and
you need to remove those feelings from your subconscious once and for all.</span><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Why do we feel guilty
about being happy? Well, it’s because somewhere along the line, our parents,
our schools, our churches, or our friends have instilled in us beliefs that we
have to suffer in order to be happy, we have to pay a price to obtain happiness,
or we can never be happy because those happy days will always crumble to being
miserable. Well, I’m here to tell you,
all of that is complete nonsense! People say those things to you because they,
themselves, have those same beliefs of lack and limitation. They believe in a core level that they don’t
deserve happiness or success, so why should anyone else?</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most people believe
happiness results from being successful, wealthy, or of good health, when in
fact, the reverse is true. Happiness is
not something that is earned or deserved; it is simply a state of mind by which
our thinking is positive in a good share of the time. If you wait until you feel deserving of
having pleasant thoughts about your life, you’ll end up convincing your
subconscious that you are undeserving of happiness which will result with you
being unhappy and unsuccessful in most of your undertakings.</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

present life situation, please keep in mind that it is not selfish or wrong to
be happy. Happiness is a means to an end,
success, and well-being. Happiness is
not something that magically happens to you, it is a feeling you cultivate,
determine, and control. If you are
waiting for happiness to happen to you, you are going to be waiting for a very
long time.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The solution is to ACT and BE HAPPY, even when you are not in

what you should do as well</span></i></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">." </span></i><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Copyright © 2015</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #a64d79; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The school my daughter attends was holding an Auction to help support them in raising funds to provide new computers for their computer lab. And so, I took advantage of the opportunity to show off my creative talents by creating one of my beautiful masterpieces. Believe it or not, this lamp only took me 30 minutes to decorate just by using my creative imagination. I must say, the mind reels lol.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #a64d79; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As an added touch, I thought feathers would make a wonderful accent to the gold, black, brown, and cream colored accents I used throughout.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #a64d79; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm so very thankful the school was able to benefit from my hand-crafted donation. Surprisingly enough, it was auctioned off for a total price of $25.00, which is much more than what I had expected. In my opinion, that's always an added bonus ;-) I suppose every little bit helps, especially when it involves using your own creativity to help support a good cause.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">As we find ourselves in a present state of evil and catastrophe,
don’t forget about the life you are living at the present moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you are single, married, divorced,
young, old, or living with family, always remember you are the painter of your
canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your painting does not have to
be the work of catastrophe, if it is, then change it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Art lies within the eyes of the
beholder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take your paintbrush and
create a masterpiece no one has ever seen before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Create the life you have always longed for
and don’t let go of the paint brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe
you’ve been wanting to go hiking, camping, sailing, running?; Maybe you’ve been
wanting to ask someone out on a date?; Maybe you want to become successful?
Maybe you want to write a novel? … etc., whatever your dreams may be, Go out
and do it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t let nothing or anyone
hold you back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I knew then, what I
know now, I would have changed my life around decades ago, however, all of
us have to go through the trials of tribulations, the rough restless waters, in
order to cross over to the calm, peaceful, & serene meadow of green
pastures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the sweet, comes the
sour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all beautiful divine human
beings than what meets the eye; do not listen to your ego but, with your heart
& soul instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you do that, there are
no limits to what you can do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Believe in
yourself, follow your dreams, complete your conquest, and overcome the tidal
wave.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">We need to acknowledge that evil is always
out there in order to trick us and fool us, but, only “you” can overcome the
circumstances that have been given to you if you believe in yourself and use
the gifts that have been given to you from the time you were born.</span></span></span><br />
