Book Review: Faith Leaps

     I “met” Alyssa online a couple of years ago and have followed her ever since for a few reasons. One is because her website has a lot of purple (which I read in the book is her favorite color! Woo-Hoo!) but mostly because everything she does is what I want to do…I want to be Alyssa when I grow up!  HA HA.  No seriously, she truly inspires me to go for what God has called me to do and especially so in this book.

     She takes you step by step on how to take something you are passionate about and use it to make a profit.  As I read it, it was like she was telling me “Christie, you know all of this…now do it!”  I have been too scared to step out and go for what God has called me to do.  Yes, I have made baby steps but have jumped back into the boat numerous times because I was unsure…I didn’t trust my ability and I definitely didn’t want to get wet!  Well, I am not going to allow my lack of certainty keep me from doing what I know I am supposed to be doing.

 

 

     God’s timing is always perfect and I truly believe that He allowed me to review this book so He could show me what I can do. These dreams He has placed in my heart have been dormant for too long and it is high time to get them out and get going. One chapter in particular, I will be using to make a checklist (yes, I do love my checklists) of ideas to help me get to where I am supposed to be.

     The book officially launches TODAY and in celebration, Alyssa is hosting a launch party on Facebook and a fantastic special PLUS bonuses on her website if you order TODAY!

     If you are serious about taking a Faith Leap and doing something that God has called you to do, then I advise you to read this book.

 

Way To Go Award – Jennifer Livingston

I saw a few posts with this video of  CBS WKBT News Anchor, Jennifer Livingston, responding to email about being fat, so I watched it and then cheered!   It made me think about the posts I made recently about being an example and not looking at our outward appearance.  Yes, we KNOW we are over weight…we don’t have to be told. We understand that we are setting examples and so are the people who say unkind things.

Because of her stand, on the issue of  hiding behind a keyboard to pick on people who are different, I want to give her a WAY TO GO Purple Star!  You go girl!

Twirling Dress

The little girls I watch LOVE twirly dresses.  They are such sweet princesses.  One day we went to see a play, Cinderella.  When Cinderella twirled on stage, Princess D turned to me and said “Mrs. Christie, she twirled! I can twirl too. Want to see?”  I laughed but didn’t let her twirl in the middle of the play.

I saw this cute little dress and thought about “my girls”.  Of course, I also liked it because it is purple 🙂
