Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday

Wanda Wade

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. It's recognized as a time to  change or give up something that may be hindering your growth and spirituality. It's a time of reflection and it symbolizes Christ's 40 days in the wilderness.

WELCOME the day with open arms and use WISDOM in all decisions.

If you want to change or give up something now may be a good time to do so though WILLPOWER may be required.

Fat Tuesday

Today is Fat Tuesday in my hometown of New Orleans! It commemorates the last day to eat richer and enjoy all the Mardi Gras festivities. It's a time when most New Orleanians have been known to Lassiez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

So in the spirit of metaphorically "eating richer" make a  pledge to TRANSFORM your life and TACKLE those things that have gone undone because in doing so it will put you a step closer to realizing your dreams and TREASURE in the moment that success will follow!

Monday, Monday

Monday, Monday

Wanda Wade

Typically Monday wasn't a day I looked forward to because it meant the weekend was over and time to get back into my weekly routine.

I truly resented Mondays and it's intrusion on my carefree weekend 

but in order to get through that first day of the week I had to change how I viewed it.

I now look at Mondays as a day to begin again, start over, a new opportunity to accomplish my goals or even create new ones. So I challenge you on this first day of the work week to:

Embrace this MONDAY, make the MOST of it and stay MOTIVATED!
