Last Sunday I shared with you all (you can catch up here if you'd like) the "rebirth" I have been experiencing at the hands of Oprah and her Lifeclasses.
I have been discovering new things about myself, life, love and death on so many different levels.
After watching, and continued watching of the Lifeclasses, I have been inspired to work towards a new goal. Giving back.
I talk so much about wanting to help other women, that now I am going to put my words to action. I can't wait for someone to come to me, I have to go to them!

| Tony Robbins |
For the next year, I am committing to myself, with the assistance of my blog (which keeps me accountable -wink, wink,) to volunteer through my church to help others. I have an appointment this week with my Pastor in hopes that he can guide me on my mission.
Now, I do have to be 100% honest with full disclosure. With that said, my goal is to get a "scholarship" to attend one of Tony Robbins' events, and doing volunteer work for one year (minimum) is a prerequisite.

| Deepak Chopra |
After I watch Tony Robbins I feel so, so inspired to do more with my life and I want to experience that first hand. SO my goal is to be at one of his events next year.
These Lifeclasses have been life changing for me. Being inspired by Tony isn't all... as I shared last week, I am also having "AHA" moments, left and right, with lessons and enlightening words from Deepak Chopra, Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Iyanla Vanzan.
From forgiving myself and others, to looking within myself to who I am as opposed to what I am (a daughter, sister, mom, wife, etc...), which is not easy.
Bishop TD Jakes stated, "You are more than what happened to you..."
Now that is deep! And so very enlightening!! That made my light bulb shine brighter than it has ever shined!
It is possible for you to get a grip on the thing that used to have a grip on you. And instead of it controlling you--you are now controlling it. ~ Bishop T.D. Jakes
Iyanla Vanzant Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.
~Deepak Chopra
It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.
~Tony Robbins
Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Blessings,
39 days to go...
... for a, l & c. You are my sunshine(s).
