Feel Good: Discover Your Purpose

gotpurposet 300x300 Feel Good: Discover Your PurposeDeep within your soul you have a purpose that is eager to escape and wreak havoc through every bone in your body. It’s time for you to expand your innate talents. Starting now…develop and nurture your purpose. Now, don’t sit here and think you don’t have something to give the world. Everyone, including you has a purpose…a talent…a calling.

Let’s do a quick painless exercise. Get a pen and paper, laptop or your journal and write at the top of the page or screen, “(your name)’s Purpose.” Begin to write down the things you love to do so much you would do them for free or something you do so great everyone raves about it all the time. Perhaps it’s writing poetry…we all know where that got Jill Scott. Are you great with kids, love numbers, cook or bake well, a great organizer and planner…we all know where that got President Barack Obama. Are you computer savvy, a good listener, a people’s person…we all know where that got Oprah. Whatever comes to your mind, let the thoughts flow from your mind through your fingers and onto the paper or screen. This list of randomly thought items will become your purpose. And you said you couldn’t think of anything…gotcha!

Now it’s time to plan your work and work your plan. Each day do something that enhances your purpose. Don’t let others tell you its too hard. Keep the negativity at bay. Get rid of all the limiting feelings and believe you are limitless. Cultivate and align your purpose and let it shine. Pray on it and live it every day. Your purpose gives you meaning…explore it.

Work It Wednesday: How to Run a Meeting that Doesn’t Suck!

Team of successful business people at a meetingYou take the endless walk to the conference room to gather for a meeting that will accomplish nothing but you getting behind in your REAL work. Spark attention leading the next meeting and have your co-workers singing your praises.

Think of your attendees as party guests. Always give your gathering a personality. “An invite to the ‘Posh Pitch Summit’ instantly suggests this will be something other than the 50 other meetings they have  booked in that week,” says Pattinson. Be enthusiastic; hint at surprises. “Everyone should be excited from the very first e-mail. Creating anticipation has everyone thinking about your meeting positively before they even arrive.”

He’s the King – I’m the DJ FREE Mixtape

HE'S THE KING-I'M THE DJ CDEver since I downloaded this mixtape I’ve been dancing, crying and celebration the musical genesis of Michael Jackson.

Philly’s own DJ Jazzy Jeff took to his turntables and spun out this masterpiece of Michael’s music that all ages will love. “After Mike passed, I really started digging, and I found a bunch of stuff that I didn’t know Mike had, especially with the Jackson 5,” says Jeff.

“He had a whole bunch of albums that go completely past people. I think people just go for [popular songs like] ‘I Want You Back,’ ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ — and there was a bunch of obscure albums that all had really good stuff on them. Then it was hard, because I wanted to keep it one CD and not make it a Mike anthology. I wanted to just make it something that was entertaining, that you could just play from the beginning to end.” Kudos to DJ Jazzy Jeff for putting together this 49-song mixtape full of timeless memories!

The mixtape is sponsored by Undcrwrn apparel and is accompanied by a t-shirt retailing for $32.00.

Me Time Moments

womanwithcoffee Me Time MomentsNeed a break at work? Take five minutes and think about something that makes you happy and brings you joy. Perhaps it’s looking at the sun kiss the ocean during a sunset, the time you spend with family, memories of riding your bike as a kid, those stole moments relaxing in a bath or shower, or maybe, it’s simply that FREE latte your co-worker gave you last week.

Feel Good: Put Yourself First…You’re Worth it!

womandriving 300x224 Feel Good: Put Yourself First...Youre Worth it!I was driving home one evening with my radio cranked, when a song I’ve played on my radio show for years consumed me. It struck a nerve like Chicken Little dodging elimination on American Idol.

As I was singing along to Jaheim’s “Put that Woman First,” (hey what women doesn’t want to sing at the top of her lungs…you better put that women first!) I had to ponder on the thought, when was the last time I did something for myself? Hummm… for a few hours on my birthday, about 10 minutes last night during my shower, right now during my ride home. Through my quick analysis, I discovered I had not put myself first in a long time. Read the rest of this entry »
