I find this magazine inspiring because it takes encouragement to a whole new level! It truly captures the essence of what a life embodied in God can be. Every topic is covered from love, relationships, family, finances, books, music, entrepreneurship, it’s all-encompassing! Every issue has relateable topics and articles I feel all people can connect to in some way or another. Soulful Image magazine is all about helping people reach their full potential! You can’t help but feel uplifted and inspired once you have read an issue!
"Soulful Imagine Magazine delivers just what the name inspires. The reader receives new and exciting images of themselves after reading the soulful, inspiring and uplifting articles. The articles address current issues that people face today. Whether an issue is fun or a serious issue, the reader is left with a sense of hope. After reading Soulful Image Magazine I know I am connected to something great!"
I have been very encouraged by the stories I've read in the magazine. Most magazines focus on things that have no eternal value-just trivial. Also I love seeing the stories of real women who are proud to be who they really are. This magazine is a ministry not just a magazine. You will be inspired!
I came across a Message from the Editor in Issue 4, Tracey spoke of her memories as a child during Christmas. This resonated with me because I too have great memories of Christmas as a child. I woke up the next day after having a few dreams. One of them being, myself standing in front of a busy news stand. I was indulging in one of my guilty pleasures, fashion magazines. Then, over to the left of the stand, beside Vogue was “Soulful Image Magazine”. There is for sure a need for her insight and her convictions in our society,

Begin To See Yourself... Stepping Into God’s Plan for Your Life By Tracey-Acadia Thomas It is not as hard as some may think, visualizing the things GOD is calling you to. If you can see it –you CAN achieve it! Every desire planted within you that is connected to your gifts and talents has everything to do with God’s plan for your life. But sometimes we allow fear, lack of confidence or even negative talk by others to discourage, distract or even kill the seed God has planted on the inside. We all need to get to a place where you are constantly focused on seeing yourself doing the things your heart desires. It is time to get up, step out and start putting things into action. Stop blaming your circumstances. Stop waiting on someone else to do what God is waiting for you to do. Stop listening to the LIE that you need to WAIT!!!

start inquiring about what you want as if you already have it, as though it is already in your possession.
It is important to understand that your current circumstance does not dictate your choice of reality. We all have the choice to accept the things that we want. Believe that what you want or do not have right now you can have it. Just believe! If it is an unwavering desire chances are it has everything to do what you are meant to complete here on earth. So, take that step of faith and begin to see yourself accomplishing what you need to step into God’s plan for your life.

Section Name BEAUTY REVIEWS BY PAULA
It's the spring season again and there's nothing better than some Coffee and Cheesecake beauty reviews. I have found three amazing products that are worth trying and won't break the bank. URBAN DECAY
Back in stock Þnally, this is a must have product for us ladies who want our makeup to last all day and night. It's Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray, one squirt and your face feels refreshed and immediately seals your makeup. This product can withstand hours of heat. It is ofÞcially a staple in my makeup bag. Get a bang for your buck and thanks Urban Decay for making another amazing product! Purchase at Sephora
RAINBOW KISSES COSMETICS You want a lipstick that lasts, colour that's bold and beautiful; Rainbow Kisses Cosmetics have it. Their line of lipsticks are a deÞnite sell for the woman who wants to feel sexy and and
stand out in a crowd. Their colours make a statement and lips are noticeably bright and vibrant all day. I absolutely love my lipstick.
Visit : Rainbow Kisses Cosmetics. com to purchase
NATURES PURE BLISS It's been a long winter and our bodies deÞnitely need some tender loving care. I purchased this wonderful product a few months ago and cannot leave the house without it. It's Natures Pure Bliss Quench Soufߎ, it's a lighter version of a body butter and is non greasy. This product feels so delicate on the skin and is lightly scented. A great moisturizer and comes in a variety of scents. Natures Pure Bliss/Facebook
