The Editor's Notes
There is a divine power within us that gives us the momentum to swiftly transfer us from one place in our lives to another. It doesn't have to take years to make progress like it took the man that laid at the pool of Bethesda. but once we have made up our minds to move, change takes place quicker than the speed of light. Change (which is caused by movement) first begins in our minds. It is said in physics that thought moves quicker than the speed of light. Even though, we may have to push forward with everything in us to get past the first few inches, the first few days, the first few trials, hurdles or even setbacks, in order to create momentum, if we keep on moving with intensity, with zeal and eagerness, we are certain to experience a breakthrough or an instance of achieving success in a particular sphere or activity. We need to begin striving for an instance, a suddenly moment, a suddenly blessing, a suddenly encounter. Everyday God sets the stage for a suddenly moment, but many of us will never experience it because we failed to make it to that moment. If we miss our suddenly, we may very well miss the impact that we can have on someone's life, or on a particular situation or development. When Jesus began his ministry, His first recorded miracle was turning water to wine which he performed in secret. In other words it wasn't a public miracle even though it had a public impact. Your first steps may not be openly seen, it may begin in the heart, but it will make an impact in your life and even in the lives of those who you are connected to. Change creates excitement and excitement for what you are doing is generated from you and when you get excited, others will catch the wave! Choose to move and then allow the momentum that is created by your movement to impact your sphere of influence. Once you have created the momentum, what you are doing gains speed (things begin to transpire quicker) and now less force is required to keep it moving and that momentum will eventually kick you into overdrive or a state of heighten activity. At that point, you will have gained enough power and force to breakthrough any barrier, any obstacle any hindrance to achieving success and victory. Keep going, your momentum is giving you power!

I have worked on this book for almost four years. I had to go back, rewrite and edit it over and over again as the Lord continued to transform me in my thinking process during that time period. I had to rest for months at a time because of the heaviness of writing this book. I had to pray and ask God for forgiveness as I began to recognize all of the times that I had made a mess of things thinking that I was doing His will. I also had to decide if I really wanted to expose all of my weaknesses and my faults stemming from failing to really overcome the residue of my past. I certainly laid it all on the line in this book. But I needed to be transparent about my own life, so that I could tell why it took the Fire of God to come into my life to transform me. The Lord will send fire in our lives so that He can give us beauty for ashes. But we will not be beautiful until we first, shake off those ashes, and secondly let Him examine us and determine that there is no more residue on us from our past before we can arise out of the ashes into position and with the favor of God.

Three tips to REVIVE your small business.
Have you fallen into a rut with your small business? Perhaps, you just want some new energy in your business. As small business owners, we wear numerous hats and have an ever evolving “to do list�. Some people get overwhelmed and end up putting their small business on pause. Others just know they need to do something else to shake things up. Either way, here are three simply recommendations you can implement to revive your small business and re-emerge into the marketplace with new vigor! 1) Enhance your branding. To revive your small business consider sharpening your Visual brand. For some this may mean thoughtfully changing your brand colors to appeal to your target audience. For others, this may mean just tweaking your current colors or fonts. Enhance your Visual brand by updating your website or blog with new graphics and images. Adding a new headshot picture can do wonders for your brand but don’t stop there, update your business cards, brochures and social media pages with the new pictures! This fresh update will add spark and draw new attention to your small business! 2) Offer a different variation of your service or product. Take a look at your services and products to determine if you can offer them in a different format, to a different audience or in a different mechanism. For example, if you are an author and your books are only available in paperback, make them available in eBook format.
Perhaps you are a service based business that has focused on local customers only, consider conducting consultations and sessions by SKYPE to gain a customer base that is not in your area. By making these adjustments, you can open up your services and products to the world!
3) Do something different with your Social Media. Social media has leveled the playing field for small businesses. Harness the power of a new social media site to revive your small business and gain new attention. Consider using a LIVE video streaming tool such as PERISCOPE.tv,
Facebook Live or Instagram to get in front of a different audience. Perhaps you never paid much attention to LinkedIn posts, Instagram Ads or Twitter chats for business but try engaging on those sites.
The bottom line is to do something different!
DR. RIVA TIMS
Khalilah Camacho-Ali My work entitle is the "Legacy Behind the Legend". Ali was a legend, but I am the one who wants to be the one to be blessed enough to leave a legacy behind for all human beings, especially our female sisters and young girls. I pray to have an academy that teaches young girls the right way to carry themselves and to teach them about womanhood and motherhood. I want to train them in sewing cooking and etiquette classes. When they graduate from that academy, they will be a true debutante for family life. They will be instructed how to dress, serve and eat properly. The dress code will be very modest. You can't show your bust or shoulders. Nothing will be exposed but your face, hands and feet. The academy will not just be for Muslims, but the people who come can be Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or whatever, but their training will be on preparing for family life. It is important because it helped me. I was very successful in protecting my body as a temple. We want to train women to be women of grace and women of respect, and women of royalty. Women are precious jewels not only to themselves, but to others. We are not here to judge anyone but, to say that you are precious and that you mean something to this world. You have a mission to make a change in this world. As mothers of civilization that is our order and mission in life. I go to schools and universities and I touch on those levels. I touch on the fact that this is your temple and you should cherish it. I went to an all muslim school where we were trained how to carry ourselves and raise children. We started at the age of five and by me carrying myself in a dignified manner, Ali wanted to marry me. I wasn't like any other. He could get anybody that he wanted, but he couldn't get me. He sure tried, but it didn't work. But what attracted me to him was that he had potential. I thought if I had him as a husband I could guide him in the right manner. He used to wear black shirts and black pants like Johnny Cash, but I put him in a suit and tie. I was a big fan of Cary Grant. He wore a suit and tie any where he went like a gentleman and I wanted my husband to be a gentleman, so I practiced on Ali. He was loved by a lot of people because he was a gentleman. Until later on in life when he changed from talking to the wrong people and hanging with the wrong crowd. Women were his weakness and as he grew around the wrong people, that's what made it stick. But, it happens to the best of them. The thing that he knew the best was fighting and he was good at it. Sometimes when people are perfected in one thing they can't be perfected in another.
When I met him, he had just won the Olympics. It was just a meeting and I tore up his autograph because he had a slave name, "Clay". That wasn't impressive to me. But he never forgot me for that. I planted a lot of seeds. But what impressed me was that he said he was going to be a champ by the age of 21. He was only 18 at the time. He said, it boldly, just like that and I wondered how he was going to do that. But, I kind of believed him. He was very bold to predict something like that. I saw that we had a lot of similarities and we acted a lot alike and this attracted me to him. But, if he would have made the mistake of asking me to marry him, I would have said "No". I would never tell a man yes for any reason. He had figured that out, since I tore his autograph up. So he asked another person to ask me, how I would respond if someone asked me to marry them. I told that person that I would say "no", so Ali made sure he didn't say that. So when he came to me he said, " We get along really good together. You are going to be my wife". I said, that's a different approach. That's how I knew that he was the one. When he didn't ask me, it made it perfectly clear that this was a good one. We got married two weeks later. Muslim engagements are not long, they should be, but they aren't long. I wish I would have known more about his family and a little more about the family background. I found out that he had a good relationship with his mother, which was a good sign, but I didn't know much about his father. I think that if Ali had of been around the right men, he would have been better off. I was not one to put up with foolishness. A woman always knows if a man is going to get better. Things got worse and worse so I had to let him go but I knew that we were still going to be friends. I wasn't made to be miserable in life, God did not make me to be miserable. I have seen women married to their husband and they just put up with everything and I said I was not going to do that. I want to live long enough to enjoy my life and if I can't be happy with him. I will be happy without him and I was. I was able to get a man who really loved me and was loyal to me. I have two more beautiful girls and I was glad I made that decision. I have six surviving children. I lost five. I had two sets of twin boy and I miscarried with those two. I had a son that was born and only lived a few hours. He was premature and his lungs and other organs were not developed. I was around 6 months pregnant. As long as I knew that I could have other children and my body was healthy, I figured there was a reason why this happened. This was a phase in my life that I had to accept and God knows the reasons why they didn't survive. Even though I had a spiritual foundation it was something that was hard to handle and it hurt a lot. But, I kept my head up and stayed strong. I accepted what God had given me and I accepted the fact that he took them when He did. Maybe I will see him in paradise another time. You just have to be thankful in it because it actually makes you stronger and helps you to develop strength within yourself for the future.
My parents taught me a lot of their strengths in their actions. I am the type of person to seek knowledge and ask questions about everything. My mother and father's actions proved more to me than anything. My father made sure we had everything that we needed, when my mother was pregnant he did the chores that she couldn't do. I though that was admirable of him to do that as a man. My father and uncles were taught by my grandfather to clean the house and cook and they took care of their family. My father worked the same job as a teenager until he retired. My father invented the word steadfast. He worked and went to the army and came back and his job was waiting for him He stayed focused for his family. We were able to get anything we wanted going back to school . We didn't want anything. My father didn't want me to marry Ali at first because he didn't had a job, he finally gave up and gave me his blessing. But they didn't want me to divorce him because they couldn't understand what I was going through. He wasn't like my father, he didn't fight for his family. If he fought for his family like he fought not going into the army we would still be married. Once a man gets already big and he always gets his goals, he doesn't have nothing else to want. I was disappointed, that he didn't fight for his family but he was easily manipulated. But we had a beautiful life together, we had a beautiful history, we had a beautiful ride. It was hilarious, it was funny, it was educational, and it was meaningful. Even though it did not go the way that we wanted it to do, it was still a part of my life that I will never forget. Who writes it in stone that you have to hate each other when you depart. When you depart that means that both are free to do whatever they want. So where is the animosity? You both have your freedom. Why do you hate each other, there is no reason for it. The best thing for you to do is forgive the person, pray for that person and say I am just going to remember the good things.
Going to the ends. Where no one else goes. Because Jesus is alive in the hardest places to be a child.

APOSTLE SHARON WALKER
According to her website, Apostle Sharon Walker, unaware of the purpose for her real existence was handed what seemed to have been overbearing and uncommon tests and trials. In 1984 after hearing the call to salvation she accepted the call and repented of her sins and became a diligent follower of Jesus Christ. Later in 1990 she received and accepted the call to preach the gospel. In March of 2009, Apostle Sharon Walker along with her husband Co- Pastor Larry T. Walker, Jr. Founded, Shekinah Rain Int'l Ministries, in Tallahassee, Florida where she and her husband serve as Senior Pastors. She has and continues to travel both, nationally and internationally. In this Prophetic Season of Destiny, Apostle Sharon Walker is quickly becoming a sought after Name. Her Ministry is marked by the Visible Glory of God. Like Jesus, her accusers can only nay say and resist her message but they cannot effectively duplicate or manifest the glory of God that is readily exemplified through her life.
Apostle Sharon's conference One Night With the Queen in Turks and Caicos, was God ordained from its inception. The Lord spoke to her to host a conference in unfamiliar territory and proved His word by giving her favor throughout the Island. The hand of the Lord has always been on Apostle Walker's life even through some of the most traumatic experiences in her life. To say that her life is truly a miracle is an understatement. To quote Apostle Walker "Half of the people could not handle my testimony. When you look at my pictures you don't realize that you are looking at a miracle. The Lord himself healed me. He walked into my hospital room and said, "You shall live and not die to declare the works of the Lord". When I talk about being the Queen Esther of our times, it is because I know exactly how Esther felt because I was there. I truly was an orphan because I had parents, but I didn't have parents. I remember when the Lord told me that "when your mother and your father forsake you, then the Lord will take you up". He became my Father, He became my nurturer and the one who built me up and raised me up. It was Him that poured into me. Even pastors did not want to have anything to do with me because I had so much that happened in my life. They just didn't want to take the time. But the Lord took me in. He mentored me and He taught me. That is why I have the level of glory on my life that I have because He literally poured into me. It is just amazing when I look at my life. It is like a movie to me. When I look at where I have been and where I am now it is just unbelievable. The show that I have called "You Are Not What You Have Been Through" took many years to develop. It was something that was in my spirit for a long time, for many years. But the Lord gave it to me last year and said that it was time to start the show. So I had my first show in August. I didn't know anything about broadcasting, TV or anything. I probably don't even do it like you are supposed to do. I think that the greatest glory comes from the people who have been through things than it does from picture perfect people who have never been through anything or don't know anything about suffering. I preached a message one time, "I've been through too much to leave here with nothing"! Of course people will talk about you because they don't know your story and they don't know your background. They have the audacity to judge you and be jealous of you and hate on you and I think to myself, you can gladly go through the things that I have been through just trying to get here. You don't understand what you are even looking at. That's like saying you want my paycheck but didn't go to work for it. The life that I have now, you could not have told me in a million years that I could have had this life.
I said to myself, “I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.”But as I stood there in silence not even speaking of good things the turmoil within me grew worse. The more I thought about it, the hotter I got igniting a fire of words. Psalm 39:1-3
“Lord help me to bridle my tongue…”
Bridle My Tongue The older I get, the more I pray this prayer. I just feel that there are times when I can’t hold my peace and usually whenever I do this, I am the one who suffers the wrath of my family and peers. Not everyone wants to be told the truth about their self and I am finding out that most of the time, people are in denial about what’s really going on with them. Your best friends will say, “I need a friend who will be honest with me,” but when you are, sometimes you lose that friendship, because they really didn’t want to hear the truth. If, you see something that will hurt them, you speak up out of concern, however if they don’t want to believe that it’s true, your told to mind your business. Wives, we depend on our husband’s honesty to tell us about our looks, but when they do we get defensive and want to argue the point. “Honey, do I look like I’m gaining weight?” He feels confident that you are reaching out to him for truth as well as support and when he says, “Yes, a little, OMG! When it comes to our cooking, “Honey, how does it taste, I decided to try something new.” He answers with that look, “Well truthfully, it’s awful, did you follow the recipe?” Our immediate response (with much attitude), “Well don’t eat it, I’m just trying to give you a change from the same old thing every day!” My Grandmother used to say, “Don’t ask if you don’t want the truth!” The Word of God tells us that the power of life and death are in the tongue. I try very hard to speak more life than death over people, but there are times when I, (and I’m sure I am not alone) find myself speaking my thoughts out loud. What I say is not intended to cause any harm to anyone, but we must be careful. It is so important that everything we do and say is in the Will of God. That’s why we must learn to stop, pray and then speak. What we think is good advice sometimes is not. Sometimes, what we say can be more harmful than helpful simply because the person we are talking to is not ready to have this conversation. Sometimes, it’s just better to listen and those times when we see or hear things, it’s better to keep them to ourselves. If God wants us to know something, He will direct our pathways into finding out; and if He takes us down that path, we will see it for the truth and no matter how much it hurts, the only person who is offended is us. And when we are offended in the truth of God, we will also find peace in God and absolution. Jeremy Ham writes in “Clearing up Misconceptions,” As Christians, we need to have the utmost integrity in all areas and be careful not to be a stumbling block to a fellow Christian. We should make every effort to live at peace with others (Romans 12:18).
This does not mean, however, we will never offend a fellow Christian if, for example, a rebuke is needed. Even though we speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), we might still offend. We must live by the truth of God's Word, and those people who are living contrary to the truth are often offended. Non-Christians may be offended as well. After all, the message of the gospel declares that they are sinners who need to repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ. In a sense, we need to offend unbelievers in order to witness to them! Although we cannot keep people from getting offended, we should make sure that it is the truth that offends rather than our attitude, actions, or approach. We must follow biblical principles in all areas. At times, offending is wrong, and at other times, it is necessary. As we spread the truth of God's Word, we should do so in love, humility, and boldness, making sure we are living by the truth. Most of us were raised to treat others as we want to be treated. In voicing our opinions about someone else’s circumstances, we need to do an inventory check on ourselves. As Jeremy Ham stated above, are we living by the truth and I would ask are we living the advice we are giving? For instance, how can a person who has never had a stable relationship with anyone give advice on how to handle a cheating fiancé? How can someone who never graduated high school, give educational advice? How can someone who has never given their life to the Lord, judge a tither? I have found in expressing one’s opinion, there is a very thin line between opinions and judgement. Therefore, whenever we are trying to verbally assist someone with their issue, we must remain in the Will of God and hear from Him and make sure that this is how the Lord wants you to advise and not make it your personal agenda. Remember, God already knows the situation and He already has a plan for that person. You are just the vessel He is using to prepare their hearts and minds and for your works to glorify Him and not yourself. My prayer will continue to be, “Lord bridle my tongue” because there are times when the enemy will definitely take you there. You will be minding your own business, enjoying life and boom!...Here comes some foolishness, confusion and dumb stuff. And when this happens, you just want to speak your mind and put some folk to rest. But as a Christian, we must stop, pray and speak the right thing, WWJS (What would Jesus say)? In closing, remember once we release the comment, it can't be taken back. We may regret what we say, but more importantly, we will regret the reaction of the person we considered a friend or loved one. Is it worth the pain, hurt and sometimes years of unforgiving? Is it really that important that you always be right, or that people know what you think? Or is it better to just pray for the person and trust God to change the situation. I'm just saying.

CHILI & Z MOST Remember when the industry use to make records with singers letting their partners know how much they loved them and how they really felt about them with messages from the heart. Now ‘Hip Hop’ dominates the popular culture. Therefore many have forgotten about the music that was made for lovers. The “N’ Love With Love” C.D. is about healing hearts, souls, relationships and humanity. Many cold nights were spent in front of the fireplace with soft music and the one you love. There are still lovers in the world, and there are still those who just want to chill sitting in a hot bubble bath with the candles flickering and romancing that special person while listening to love songs. There are still two music makers who want to romance you with sweet lyrics of Love. CHILI MOST & Z MOST! Infusing the airwaves with innovative mixtures of Ballads, Funk, Rap, making you dance and at the same time feel proud of your neighborhood with “Good N’ The Hood”.

Chili started performing at the tender age of three. Together with his older Brother “Z Most”, the two of them began singing in church and city choirs in their hometown of Terre Haute, Indiana. At the age of five, Chili and Z performed in school and community talent shows. While growing up in Indiana music wasn’t his only interest. Indiana is known as the basketball capital of the world. Chili, his seven Brothers and one Sister excelled in sports winning five consecutive state titles in football, baseball, track, and basketball. At the age of ten Chili and Z formed a band. The two began playing concerts, talent shows, and state and county fairs. One year later they began performing on the college circuit throughout the Mid-West. Chili sang lead and background vocals, played lead and bass guitar, drums, and the keyboards. Chili continued to expand his talents through high school. Having won a basketball scholarship, Chili went on to college in Michigan. His Brother Z relocated to Los Angeles and Chili decided to join his brother in Los Angeles. Wanting very much to return to music one day when they heard the news that ‘The Godfather Of Soul’ James Brown had been arrested for a traffic ticket. Chili and Z saw that now was the moment to go back into the studio. The result was a recording of the Hit titled “Free James Brown”. The Two Brothers led a Free James Brown Campaign helping Mr. Brown to an early release from jail. They approached Al Bell at Bellmark Records and the single became Bellmark’s first release.
Recently he’s written, arranged and produced the last three Hot Hit Singles for Southern Soul Blues Artist The Famous Chuck Strong including “Can I Spend Some Money On You” going Number One on The American Blues Network. They’ve seen the 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s but don’t get it twisted they’re back in 2017 with a vengeance. With romantic candle lit nights, a fireplace, someone you love, a message of entwinement from “THE BALLAD MEN” the twinkling stars of love will lead your path.

STOP THE VIOLENCE/N’ LOVE WITH LOVE Rico Sweatt AKA “Chili Most” and his Brother William Sweatt AKA “Z Most” have created a masterpiece of socially conscious music of love for the upcoming movie “Stop The Violence/N’ Love With Love. CHILI & Z MOST have captured the imagination with two timely messages on this soundtrack “Stop The Violence” that speaks to the issues of governmental wars, gang and drug wars, domestic violence and illegal guns and “Fight For Your Rights” which means to stand up for your rights in a non-violent way inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who died for people’s rights but stood for non-violence. Currently one of their greatest blessings from GOD was writing the book called The Queen Mother Of Watts Dr. Sweet Alice Harris. Look for the book in stores in 2017. 2017 is “The Year Of The Woman” so The New Z Most & Chili Most Single “Happy Mother’s Day” is a dedication to their Mother, Mrs. Dorothy Louise Sweatt and honor to all The Women Of The World.

ACTION ACTION DESPITE THE DISTRACTION with Dr. Stacie NC Grant WAIT THE WAIT OUT!!!!
#FaithpreneurFootnote: "You have to WAIT the WAIT out!!! There is no short cut to growing in FAITH. As much as we would like to fast forward through the valley experiences of life, we have to endure the time it takes for us to travel from the valley to the mountaintop. It would be awesome if we could fast forward to the mountaintop but the lessons we learn are in the journey. While in the valley, we have to stay focused on the climb in order to get out. If we give up because the climb seems to steep or too high we will never make it to the mountaintop! As FAITHPRENEURS we grow in FAITH as we WAIT for God to navigate our accession to the mountaintop. Use the time in the valley experiences to get stronger & grow deeper in your belief of knowing God will bring you through not matter how difficult the journey. The harder the valley experiences the sweeter the victories. Just WAIT the WAIT out!!! "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man what the Lord hath prepared for those that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9 On your journey as a #FAITHPRENEUR, you take action based on the vision God places in your heart - the depths of which only you know. Visualizing what your future will look like is something all entrepreneurs find joy in doing. The idea that something you have created is being sold in the global marketplace is wonderfully overwhelming. Knowing that you are adding value to the world is soul satisfying. Seeing your dream realized is humbling. Yet with all this being true, #FAITHPRENEURS, God will dream a BIGGER dream for you than you can for yourself!! Your wildest dreams can't surpass what God has in store for you if you remain OBEDIENT and walk in His will for your life. Let’s thank God for what He is doing in this season. 2017 is YOUR year of IMPLEMENTATION!!!

Intuition is Ammunition! With every test and trial that comes our way, there are warnings that precede them. What can be frustrating is not being able to recognize those warnings for what they are. Often times referred to as ‘red flags’, we all encounter those little things that give us cause to believe that something just isn’t right. And when we have those feelings, we are usually right. Our gut or intuition, as it is more commonly referred to, is something similar to an alarm system that alerts us of lurking danger. These red flags can be so small and come on so subtle, that we can miss them if we are not careful, and before we know it, we are face-to-face, side-by-side or hand-in-hand with danger. Day after day, month after month, year after year, red flag after red flag, we become more and more comfortable with danger until we wake up one morning and realize we have been living with the enemy. Domestic Violence (DV) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) have criteria that are often referred to as red flags. These characteristics mimic other things, such as mental health issues, substance use/abuse and personality traits. In such, there are some specific behaviors that abusers typically begin to exhibit early on in DV or IPV relationships, causing those ‘red flags’ to appear. Those behaviors include the following: •
Keeping track of what their victims are doing all the time and criticizes them for little things.
•
Constantly accuses their victims of being unfaithful.
•
Prevents or discourages victim from seeing friends or family, or going to work or school.
•
Gets increasingly angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs.
•
Controlling the victim’s spending habits.
•
Humiliates victims in front of others.
•
Destroys victim’s property or things that the victim cares about.
•
Threatens to hurt victim or their children or pets, or does cause hurt (by hitting, punching, slapping, kicking, or biting).
•
Uses or threatens to use a weapon against victim.
•
Forces victim to have sex against their will.
•
Blames victim for his/her violent outbursts. http://www.ilrctbay.com/upload/custom/abuse/content/abusers.htm
Along with these behaviors, there is some body language and other gestures that abusers typically exhibit that usually indicate that a violent act may be soon to follow and those are: •
Abuser pacing the floor
•
Abuser clenching/unclenching fists
•
Abuser’s facial expression (glaring)
•
Abuser shouting/yelling
Review the list of behaviors in both paragraphs and ask yourself if at least one (1) of those behaviors were present in your mate, would you immediately suspect you were in a DV or IPV relationship? Chances are your answer is no. However, depending upon your knowledge about DV and IPV or, your personal experience(s), your answer may be yes. Now review both lists again and ask yourself the same question, but this time consider that at least three (3) of those behaviors were present in your mate. Would your response be different? Both lists have one (1) thing in common and that is, they both consist of behaviors and characteristics that are often times considered ‘red flags’. When you are in a relationship that consists of you being controlled, followed, spied on, threatened, humiliated, ridiculed, verbally, emotional, mentally, physically, economically or sexually abused so much so that you live in constant fear, always waiting for the other shoe to drop, you are in a DV or IPV relationship. If when you review both lists, you get the feeling that you are seeing your life written out before you, it may be a good time to begin planning your escape. Knowing that this process takes time, a lot of strategic planning and a solid support system, reaching out to a domestic violence advocacy program is a good place to start. These programs are located throughout the United States and can be found by visiting the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA). http://www.trynova.org/crime-victim/advocacy/list/ Robin Sample
Beautiful Brooklyn is a precious little princess who was born on July 15, 2016 to Timothy Mallard and Airman First Class Sheltaya Williams. Unfortunately she was born with a heart in dire need of a healing. Brooklyn's undeveloped heart has caused some life threatening systemic issues requiring multiple surgeries and a treatment plan that involves many more procedures. We have watched her transition from our lively little princess into a very sick tiny one. We are grieved to see her struggle through all of her challenges. This struck inspiration to create BROOKLYN'S HEALING HEART CHALLENGE.. As our country deals with many turbulent issues such as civil unrest, disunity within our communities, a tense and uncertain political landscape, racial and ethnic intolerance, we feel many individuals could contribute to a movement that desires to heal an ailing heart much like our precious Brooklyn. So allow her personal battle to inspire you to make a difference. Brooklyn's Healing Heart Challenge consists of three things 1. DO A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS- your actions may help heal the heart of someone you may or may not know. 2. LET US KNOW ABOUT IT ON BROOKLYN'S SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS- we want this to become contagious! Post to the Brooklyn's Healing Heart Challenge Facebook page with the #BeautifulBrooklyn #PrayersForBeautifulBrooklyn and #BrooklynsHealingHeartChallenge 3. DONATE TO BROOKLYN'S HEALING HEART CHALLENGE! - All proceeds from this fundraising challenge will be equally split between the two entities that have blessed her family. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH- The hospital that provides exemplary care for Brooklyn and continues to love her through her trials. and ALLEGHENY CENTER ALLIANCE CHURCH CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES- This is where her mother Sheltaya has both attended as a child, and then served as an adult. This ministry was very insturmental in making Airman Williams the upstanding individual she is today. Both of these entities continue to do great work on behalf of children and we are forever grateful. This entire article was taken from Brooklyn's Go Fund Me Page. Heels Gospel Magazine encourages its readers and supporters to share Brooky's story as well as the challenges requested by her family. Please help us as we offer continued prayers for little Brooky. We still believe in miracles.
