June Collective: Protecting Your Assets: Body

Thanks (hand claps and big hug) to Mrs. Sheila Woods, who facilitated the collective  on June 10th.  We continued with  "Protecting your Assets" series, where we focused on the Body (physical aspect): Health Education and Management. Mrs. Woods revealed that unhealthy lifestyles are expensive. Expenses include poor health that lead to doctors visits, time off work, transplants. etc.  Unhealthy lifestyle, choices, and eating habits have long-term ramifications and if they persist can lead to death.  Ladies, get informed and start taking care of your temple/body. 

Please watch this video.  It is Part 1 of the four part HBO Series: The Weight of the Nation.

Amazing Journey

I had been struggling to decide what to blog about next, when I received an email from a friend that included an interview with Viola Davis (Tony Award winner and Oscar Nominee).  Best known for her performance in Doubt and The Help.  The actress sat down with Holly Wagner, co-Pastor of Oasis Church in Los Angeles and founder of GodChicks, and candidly shared her story and how God, divinely, infused people into her life at the right time to influence her and encouraged her to DREAM.  This interview resonated with me in so many ways.  I had a renewed since of hope to trust God in the face of unrelenting pressure.  Please check out this interview:
