Beautiful Spirited Women recently gave me the opportunity to present a live virtual workshop entitled “Love Doesn’t Hurt.” I was able to share insights regarding forms of abuse, how to recognize the signs and how/where to get support. I also had the opportunity to answer questions. While this workshop was geared towards the young ladies BSW provides services for, parents, caregivers, and those responsible for young ladies were able to gain information they will be able to share and use within their circles of influence.
About Beautiful Spirited Women: Beautiful Spirited Women is a non- profit organization that was founded in Memphis TN by Crystal Clark -Chatman. BSW is a support group of who support young ladies with providing volunteer work, mentoring, tutoring, and other opportunities that will help put a smile on their face.
2019 is in full swing. Where are you in your current mental and physical state? The topic is likely what you think it’s about, but I’m taking a deeper and more candid look at holistic health and wealth as we progress in 2019. It will be fun, interactive, and informative. Each attendee will leave with some tangible resources/action plan with my promise to provide a follow up/check in for accountability. Just bring yourself and an open mind. Everything else will be provided. We’ll have food, fun, and fellowship!

In 2008, I made a life changing decision. I left an abusive marriage. I was extremely uncertain about where my journey would take me. I only knew that I could not continue down the path I was on, especially with my children. I was a very sad, broken individual. I was embarrassed and ashamed. I was financially challenged. It would prove to be one of the best decisions. I could have ever made.
The photo doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of my holistic success. But, it’s a great collage of one photo for every year since I rediscovered myself. Over the past ten years, I’ve started a business, a non-profit, gotten remarried, raised my children, became a proud MiMi, reconnected on my spiritual journey, became a 2x Amazon best selling author, have spoken and presented on some amazing stages, met some of the most interesting people in the fields I love, and most of all, learned how to love myself. One of the most amazing things I came to terms with while putting together these series of photos was recognizing that I am holistically beautiful. You cannot look at the photos and instantly tell which one is from the beginning of my journey and which one is the most current. I didn’t see myself and aesthetically or emotionally attractive.
As we enter into 2019, I am extremely excited about the direction of my life. I have s.m.a.r.t. goals. I have a great support system. I believe in myself. I have definitely experienced some major setbacks. I have disappointed others. I’ve been disappointed. The valley moments have given me the tools and courage I needed to accomplish the peaks and fully appreciate the process it took to get to them. I thank you for reading, and for being part of my journey. Sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already. I’ll be sharing more news, events, prizes, and surprizes.
This will be a 2 hour holistically strategic WORK shop. Come prepared to be an active participant. This is a personal & interactive opportunity to establish and maintain tools, resources and a realistic and tangible plan of action with an open and honest dialogue based on a portion of my book, Restoring the Whole in My Soul. Before you head into your personal and/or professional ventures for 2019, I invite you to intentionally reflect, release, renew, and restore in the now. ONLY 20 SLOTS AVAILABLE.
This will NOT be your standard listen/lecture type of session. Reserve your spot ONLY if you’re ready to invest a couple of hours of your time towards your written & visual wholeness, commitment to being accountable, willingness to discover & accept your calling/assignment, and try some old school/new strategies. The workshop will be recorded and available for an additional 72 hours for those who RSVP. Once you register, you’ll receive a confirmation email and additional information/instructions relevant to the success of your attendance. Your name will also go into a drawing for one attendee to receive a gift bag of goodies totalling $50 (just in time for the holidays)!

My 10 Year Milestone: On this day, ten years ago, I took my life back and became a DV survivor. To some, this may not mean a lot. There will be some who I KNOW will question why I’m sharing this at all. But, if you had known me the way that my children knew me 10 years ago, you’d know I was holistically broken with no real plan of how to care or love me or them the way we all deserved. Today, I can honestly say I love myself & do my best to make sure my children know they have my love & support. I am a happy, healthy wife, mom, MiMi, entrepreneur, executive director, national speaker, 2x Best selling author and committed to helping the community in the way it has been given to me to do. I’ve met the most beautiful people who’ve helped/supported me along the way (celebrities, and more importantly, ordinary people like me). I have never desired to be popular. I do, however, desire to be impactful. I want to have to heart of service like Edna with the smile & realness of John (my grandma & daddy).
If you’ve done anything (marriage, a job, a business, etc.) consistently for 10 years, you know it takes dedication, discipline, consistency, strong belief and your why (personal/professional) has to be stronger than any opposition you face (family, friends, colleagues, your own self doubt). It’s encouraging for others to see, hear and know.
