JUGGLING TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!

Well we are coming to a close on February 2010 and I'm excited! "I'm juggling lots of things to keep the Dream Alive!" After being laid off I gave much consideration to what did I enjoy the most, and it's none other than developing others, programs and publications.

I've developed a great afterschool program, I'm mentoring and life coaching right now and lastly I'm working on helping my son build an online magazine; However none of these things are big money makers nor give me the ability to maintain the lifestyle I am accustom too when I was working in Corporate America.

So what do I do, "I juggle!" I'm taking the things I'm passionate about and tapping into those things. Some folks say, "you work to much", "you are doing too much" but I say, do what you have to do to keep the "Dream Alive".

Juggling Pin #1 -I'm so excited about my new venture with Princess House, bringing awareness to all women but especially women of color about Healthy Cookware to help in the fight against Heart disease and Alzheimers.

Juggling Pin #2 - I'm also thrilled with the outcome of the life coaching I've been doing; a few of my clients have gone on to get awesome jobs in this time of recession, stability in their personal lives and set some fabulous goals to help relieve stress and build the longevity of their health.

Juggling Pin #3 - Again I'm overjoyed being a mom and wife today (Lord knows this was not always the case lol) My son is being awarded the opportunity to participate in a prestigious leadership conference and I couldn't be more happy.

Why juggle all these things for one simple "Dream" to work independently for myself, developing people, publications and programs. Here is one of the realized dreams that I'm driving now http://dreamafterschool.blogspot.com

SO I ASK YOU....WHAT DO YOU DREAM ABOUT? IS IT WORK JUGGLING A FEW THINGS TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE?

DID YOU KNOW!

Hello Blog readers, I thought I would start with a Valentine, "Did You Know".

Question: Did you know that todays Valentine's Day celebration has evolved into one
of the most celebrated holidays on the calendar. This Holiday spending
equals approximately $14 Billion dollars in revenue.

Thought: If we showed are love for one another daily, would we really have to spend
this much money on one day?

Question: Did you know according to the 1 Corithians Chapter 10:13 it states that
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.

Thought: As we say to our family, friends, and significant others, "I Love You," do
we mean it like the above scripture? Do we actually feel and think these
things in our heart? Or are we really not living Love at all?

Question: Did you know, we say we love ourselves but don't act it out? Children,
the elderly and those with heart disease are at special risk. As people
age, their ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature often
decreases. Because elderly people seem to be relatively insensitive to
moderately cold conditions, they can suffer hypothermia without knowing
they're in danger.

Thought: If you are young or old with insurance or none, could you do some internet
research to gain more information on how to care for yourself?

Question: Did you know that Alzheimer's disease is the #7 leading cause of death in
the U.S., it's a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the
brain's nerve cells, or neurons, resulting in loss of memory, thinking and
language skills, and behavioral changes.

Thought: If we were loving ourselves the right way, would we really carry so much
stress? A key factor in triggering Alzheimers is "Stress". It produces an
overproduction of a hormone called cortisol. These elevated levels of
cortisol may damage the brain cells in our memory center. To eleviate
stress here are some of my favorite tips offered by Alzheimer's Foundation
of America http://www.alzfdn.org/BrainHealth/stressmanagement.html: pray,
deep breathing, classical music and massage.

To all my friends, family and network, love yourself then you can love others.

Happy Valentines,

Tangil
