I wanted to take this time to let everyone know the reason for my absence from Social Media. God is good and I have a new job, working on putting my priorities in place, and writing my first book. I decided instead of being upset about not being able to blog and post as often as I would like, I decided to put my blog on hiatus for a short time until I can be more dedicated. I will be back in the New Year but my main goal for early 2016 is to finish my book. Please take some time and read the post, stories, and poetry that is on my site now and leave a comment so I will know what you liked or did not like. I feel that God has a purpose for all of us and I would like to finish what God put on my heart which is writing my book. SoulfulXpression will be back on Sundays starting Feb 7, 2016 and I look forward to sharing all my good news with everyone. I would like to wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and New Year, Be Safe.
Soulfully Yours, Ms. Passion In light of the tragedy in Kenya and Paris I decided not to post a Soulspiration today. I decided to pray for the lives loss and the families that will forever be changed by this assault on humanity. A tragedy such as this will evoke many emotions but the one emotion you must never allow yourself to feel is the one of hate. If we allow ourselves to hate then we are no better than those cowards who decided innocent lives did not matter. We will struggle to understand how one human being can do this to another but we must not lose our ability to forgive and lean on God for understanding because it's only the light of love that extinguishes the darkness of hate.
Soulfully Yours Ms. Passion © 2015 I am so glad to continue this weeks Soulspiration as Part II of Season of Success. The reason I wanted to create a Part II is because I think many times we let fear of success keep us from pursuing our dreams. Many people don't recognize when they are in their Season of Success so I create this post to help others recognize when its time to seize the opportunity to pursue your dreams. It's important to recognize when you are in your Season of Success.
1. Doors previously closed begin to swing open. 2. Networking starts to pay off. 3. Friends and family become more supportive of your dreams. 4. Funds suddenly become available to help fund your dreams. 5. Your dreams become bigger than your fears. These are some of the signs that you are in your Season of Success. One of the most important elements is your belief in your dreams. Don't let fear of failure or success keep your from your dreams. Many times my mind would tell me if you create the business you want and leave your job you will fail an have to look for work again and how will you pay your bills. These are negative thoughts we all have that stagnant us from the life we want. I decided to pursue my dream of writing my book and doing my best to self-publish, market, and sell it with the belief I will be successful. Whatever your dream is don't let it die because of your fears, believe this is your Season of Success and start to plan for that dream to become a reality. Next time in the Season of Success Series I will discuss the steps necessary to bring your dreams into reality. Let take this journey together to bring our dreams to fruition. 1. Have you started the plan necessary to bring your dreams into reality? if not, Why 2. Have you let fear of failure, success, or both stop you from pursuing your dreams? 3. Have you started pursuing your dreams and are now living the life you always wanted? If so please share to help inspire others to pursue their dreams.

Photo found Google.com Sometimes we have difficulty believing all the good that is meant for us but God wants us to live life abundantly and to do that you have to believe you were meant to achieve great success. I have struggled with fear of failure and fear of success. Success meant I would have to work hard consistently and failure meant I would be stuck in the same place. It was only when I combined belief, hard work, and faithfulness that I started to achieve success. I want to tell everyone who is struggling believe that you are in your season of success and embrace it. Believe everything that God has for you, start that diet, write the book, ask for the promotion, and start your new business venture. Put all your fears aside and "do the work." There will be times when you are not sure or when your are tired but return to your source and he will take on your worries never give up on your dream it is your destiny. I have wanted to publish my book for the last 18 month and I hear the soulful whispers (my intuition) telling me to work on it consistently until its done. Negative voices of doubt tells me I don't have the time to sell the book with all my other commitments which is my fear of success. I also returned to my source refreshed, renewed and committed to my dream. Believe in the blessings coming in your life and don't question what God has planned for you. We are in "OUR" season of success so start that new business, write the book, and ask for the promotion because its yours if you BELIEVE.

Many wonder how they did it? How were they able to reach such levels of success so fast? What we don't see is all the late night hours, countless failures, and disappointments they have experienced. Want to know how they did it? There is no short cut, work toward your goals relentlessly is the only way you will become successful. I am sure each one had their own formula but hard work and persistence are the keys to achieving any goal. You must work at it day and night, sacrifice for it, and believe you can achieve it. I started my blog December 2014 with no clue how to make it work but what I do believe is, if I work hard, learn, and remain persistence I will have a successful blog. Success is the harvest you will reap for all your hard work. What seeds are you planting to reap tomorrow? Don't plant the seeds of doubt and despair because that is what you will reap. Plant the seeds of belief, success, and faith and your harvest will be bountiful. It's not going to be easy but nothing worthwhile usually is. Keep the faith, continue to work, believe with all your body, mind, and soul and you will reap rewards you could not have imagined.

In the social media world we keep count of the number of friends, followers, fans, and supporters we have. These numbers maybe important for branding and business reasons but when it comes to our "real friends" do we look for quality or quantity? I have learned that "quality" is far more important to me than quantity. I want the type of friends that bring out the best in me, support my goals and dreams, and are present in the tough times. If you have people in your life that are not there for you and you are calling them "friends" you need to re-think what friendship really means to you. People will treat you how you allow them to treat you. If you want support, be the supporter and if you feel you have and are not getting it in return you may need to re-evaluate the friendship. Once you reevaluate the friendship if its worth keeping let them know how you feel. If there is no change within the relationship then you may need to move on. In this journey of life we will be joined by different people along the way. Some people will be with us for a long time in our journey while others will be gone in the blink of an eye. If you want like-minded, strong, and caring personal relationships pray that God brings that into your life and that you are also that person to others. Its a blessing to have our friends to share good times and be there to support during tough times. We need loving and caring relationship that fill our lives with joy. Look for quality friends to share you life with the ones you don't want to live without.
1. What does friendship mean to you? 2. Have you been having a difficulty time developing quality relationships? 3. How has having "quality friends" benefited your life? Please share to help someone know its possible to obtain loving and lasting friendships.

SOULSPIRATION WILL RETURN TO THE BLOG ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2015
Soulfully Yours, Ms. Passion I can honestly tell you that I am blessed and highly favored. This year has been one of the best years of my life. I have set out to accomplish many goals such as; starting a blog, finishing my Master's degree, writing my first book, and creating a business. I have accomplished most of my goals and some I am putting on the finishing touches. If you are wondering how I have accomplished so much in such a short period of time; I would say belief and faith. Before 2015 I never believed I could do all of these things because of my negative mind set and expecting bad things to happen. Due to a lack of faith I had gotten accustom to bad things happening in my life. Lately because my desires have not shown up when I expected them to I had a wavering in my faith. Faith is described according to the NCV Bible in Hebrew 11 "Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it." The wavering of my faith was also because of my lack of confidence in my abilities and my negative mindset not believing I deserved all the good I was receiving. I can tell you now I know that I deserve everything God has planned for me and so do YOU. We can develop the type of faith that will move the mountains in our lives, and the verse above states it only takes "faith as small as a mustard seed." to do it. There are key action steps we can take to increase our faith and confidence helping us walk in faith to receive God's unlimited blessings for our life. I have listed 5 action steps I will be taking to eliminate wavering faith and they will work for you also.
1. Read God's word as much as you can. The Bible has the Soul-lutions to our problems. 2. Listen & Read motivational books and CDs to increase your confidence. 3. Surround yourselves with positive affirmations daily. 4. Increase your circle of like-minded friendships of people who celebrate you. 5. Pray and meditate often they are food for the Soul. 1. Do you have a lack of faith and confidence? Please explain and let me go deeper how the action steps can help you with both. 2. Has having confidence and faith increased the blessing in your life? If yes, explain to be a blessing to others. 10/05/15 New weekly YouTube series call Motivational Monday photo found on Google free image search on Pinterest used for non-commercial purposes. Literary work © 2015 Ms. Passion All Rights Reserved On this journey called life there will be many twist and turns. Whatever new endeavor you are embarking on whether it's starting a family, career, or a business just know you are not alone. In life we cling to the past at times because we fear what lies ahead. Clinging to the past will cause us to become stagnant on this journey and miss out on the blessings God has in store for us. I was very afraid to embark on my entrepreneurial journey alone, I kept trying to pull different people with me only to fail. I started to succeed when I accepted God's call on my life to fulfill my purpose. I know now I was not alone he was with me everyday. This journey was meant for you and you alone, but it does not mean we leave our friends and family by the waste side. We ask our friends and family for their loving understanding while we fulfill our passion and purpose. God is calling YOU to fulfill your purpose so know that your success will be guided and your footsteps will be blessed. If you answer the call God has on your life you will have unimaginable blessings. If you feel stagnant and unable to take that first step I recommend you seek God's guidance in prayer and meditation and he will answer your prayer. Know that we all have an individual journey and God is with us every step of the way. Seek and trust his guidance in your life and your dreams will be fulfilled. I would like to share a famous quote, Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 1. Have you been fearful to embark on your calling? if yes, leave a comment why so we can discuss ways to get unstuck. 2. If you have become successful since embarking on your journey with faith and trust please comment to help others with the tools you used for success.
