Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d takg-wagone some time today just to talk about how I started Let’s Go Buy A Car and some of the obstacle of being a Business Owner. I know there are sooo many of you all that want to “quit that job” and have no idea how you can make it without “that job”!  I was there too, for so many years! I’ve always wanted to own a business and work for myself, but FEAR of that “paycheck” kept me from moving forward.   But once I was sick and tired, of being sick and tired of “that job” I realized, I was smart, I was tactful, I had lots of hustle, and I was not AFRAID!  What’s the worst thing that could happen? Failure?  But if I didn’t try, I’d never know if I could do it or not.  I knew that on “that job”, I gave 199% of me, and that was for someone else!  If I could give someone else MY 199%, I could give ME 500%!  And that’s what I did! I was a Mom and raised 3 amazing kids on my own, and no “job” could ever be as challenging as that!  So what did I have to lose?   Make sure you follow and keep up with the blog.  Some of my challenges and rewards could possibly help you “get started” to being your own Boss!

I’ll be giving you all tips on the career path in the blogs. So make sure you follow and keep up. And if you are trying to launch a business, just do it!! Don’t keep waiting! Tomorrow isn’t promised, so don’t die and bury your dream!

More coming….

As Parents, “Did We Forget Our Dream?”

IMG_5936I went to a Daymond John Seminar last week and learned a lot. I purchased Daymond’s book, “The Power of Broke” and also learned a lot more. I’m not going into the methods of entrepreneurship in this blog because I want you all to know where this seminar took me after 52 years of living. I’ve lived and amazing life. I’ve had lots of highs, and I’ve had lots of lows. They have all taught me valuable lessons of life. But this one lesson I’d like to share with the younger generation that I just didn’t get. I want you all to get it before you all get my age and look back and say.. dang… I didn’t even get it. So here it is.. And it’s free!!

When my Mom died, I was immediately responsible for our house. I was cooking, helping Daddy, and taking on the cooking duties and all those “missing Mommie” duties. After school, Military, then kids. So there was no time for me to live out any dreams of mine. Really I didn’t have any dreams because they all died with my Mom. I didn’t know anyone who lived a great life or anyone that was a Mentor who I could mimic and grow to be like in a small town. I didn’t know “rich” people. My Uncle in Jersey was “rich” to me. He was the one who showed me a different way of life. I then had “dreams” for “my children”. Hear what I say.. “my children”, not me. I made sure I took them to the million dollar neighborhoods to show them where they could live. Made sure they knew about all the luxury cars “they” could have, and the lifestyle “they” could live. I took them on shopping sprees and vacations to show them how “they” could live. I went to college so “they” could go.

Do y’all see where I’m going with this? I lived my life so “they” could live “their” dreams. I didn’t have dreams. My dreams died when my Mom died. I didn’t have any dreams. I never saw myself living “that” life because I was too busy trying to build it for my children. I was too busy working my ass off to enjoy my life, but I made sure “they” would enjoy theirs.

This is what “we” aren’t taught in the rural communities. We aren’t taught wealth. We aren’t taught credit. We weren’t taught investing. We were taught to work, and to take care of everyone else. Then we get 52 and realize. OH YEAH. now I got it. But the good thing about it, I did make sure my children have it. Now it’s time for me to create a dream and try to live it. It’s never too late to live a dream. So if you don’t have one, if you don’t have a goal, get at least one. Aim for that one, and once you reach it, create another one and keep going!

As Always…I’m Back!

A Happy Place

  Have you ever been at a point in life where you feel like life is just great? It’s funny when you’re happy, and people can see the happiness in you. When you lose your joy, it shows in everything you do. The way you talk, walk, dress, and act toward other people.  When you’re not happy, you attract people to you who are in a place where you are. When you’re in a happy place, you attract happy people. It’s strange how that works out, and how the body can show emotions. People want to be around someone who has really good vibes and are emotionally stable. So I challenge you to take a few pictures of yourself on a day you are really happy, then look back at a day you weren’t happy and see if you can see the happiness radiate from within yourself. 

God gave us all an internal light to shine so others can see it. It draws people to you. It lets them know, you’re one of the chosen ones, and God has you. So find your light and let it shine. When you find your happy place, no one and nothing can really steal your joy. God has you and He has control.  I have the attitude of “won’t He do it”!  And I ain’t going to let no one steal my joy! 

Today I pledge, I’m done with drama. If it doesn’t make ME happy, I’m not draining my emotions. The feelings of happiness gives you energy. It doesn’t drain you. If it’s takes negative energy…lose me with it!! 😁.  Being happy is too easy. There’s a simple solution. If it doesn’t make you happy.. Let it go.  See if your happiness returns. If it does, then that problem was stealing your joy. 

Hugs and love,

Don’t Give Santa All Your Money..

Santa WalletWell it’s that time of year again.  Time for the parents to go broke to get the kids all these toys that they want from the TV commercials! Well I’ve been through that over 25 times (until they finished college) and I have some advice that could save you lots of money and heartache dealing with the children.  If your kids are adults, you’ll understand!

First of all, the kids need a limit of toys.  I know we want them to have more than what we had, but really.. we had maybe 2 toys!  So 3 toys would be more than what we had!  If you tell your kids they can get 5 toys, then you’ll see what’s really important to them.  That’s what you focus on.  Anything else would be a bonus.  How many times have they opened a gift and played with it once.  But stayed on the playstation for 10 days!  Not looking at anything else.  Stop wasting money on all those little things they don’t care about.  It’s more for the parents than the kids.

Be honest with them if your funds can’t get everything they want.  I know a lot of parents struggle everyday.  And you wonder how you will get the kids the gifts they want.  Kids ask for it because they think you can afford it!  If you be honest with your kids before Christmas and let them know that you can’t afford certain items, (if you raised them right) they will understand and their expectations won’t be so big.  Then if you are able to get more, its a bonus.  I remember one year I really couldn’t afford to get them  a  lot, but they ALWAYS had great Christmases.  They were incredibly understanding which blew me away.  But after Christmas, once bills were paid, I splurged on them, because they understood.

In short, Christmas has been commercialized and marketed to make kids think its about the toys and the gifts when it’s really not.  It’s about the birth of our Lord and Savior.  It’s about giving to the needy, and it’s about rejoicing.  If your kids seem ungrateful, take them to any homeless shelter and let them see how excited those kids are who only get one toy!  We as parents are the culprits. We are the ones who spoil our kids with “things” and they don’t get the true meaning until the “things” aren’t involved.  So this year, don’t go broke on one day.  Babies won’t even know it’s Christmas new Moms.  They already have lots of toys they never play with.  lol.. But I know it’s hard to not buy them everything.  But that’s for you.. not them, because they don’t know.

Cherish the day, and let the kids know the true meaning of Christmas.  And if you can do something for a child who has nothing, ask your child to give away one toy to a child who won’t get anything. They will certainly understand the true meaning and the value of Christmas if they do.

Start your day on a Happy Note..

I woke up this morning, and after my prayer, I went on Facebook.  I saw where people had died last night, and accidents, and sadness.  My heart then went to a sad place.  I had to go back in prayer and start all over.  Then it hit me… I will not be starting my day off with things that are not happy!  I turned on my “happy” music. That was the song “Happy” by Pharrell.  Then guess what, my mood changed!  I started dancing, clapping, and singing!!  My mood was adjusted so fast because of my instincts.  I knew where I was going with my mood, and I changed it.

  
We can all change our moods.  If you know something isn’t bringing you joy and happiness, change.  If it stresses you out, change. If it causes you to not sleep, change.  If you don’t see anything positive, change.  You get it right?  Change can change you!  It can make you happy, better, stronger!  Don’t let the “world” make you unhappy!  It’s crazy, because it seems like November and December are always my “change” months! I purge my phone, deleting negativity, purge my social media, deleting irrelevant.. I wondered why, then I realized that I refuse to start a New Year with something that does not make me happy!  And changes have been made!! LOL.. I’ll update ya later on those!  But I thought someone else would need this today.

So remember, if it’s not making you happy…CHANGE IT! It’s all up to you!

It’s Not Luck…It’s Favor!!

24 Tuesday Nov 2015

IMG_9315Favor-defined as approval, or something you do for someone else.

With that being said, Christina and I was listening to Pastor Mike from NY today and he talked about how God has favor over your  life and I just wanted to share it in my words to help someone.

When you abide by God’s word, God has favor over you life. What is favor? Favor is giving you a gift that not everyone has.  Do you always seem to come out on top after you’ve had the worst things happen to you?  Have you ever had to work so hard, not feel appreciated, then you became really successful?  Have you been one second short of being in an accident or something “almost” happened to you, but it missed you? Did you leave a relationship only to find the love of your life?  Did you leave a job and immediately got a better job with a lot more money? If any of these things happened to you, and you thought it was luck, it was not luck, it was favor over your life!

God favors you when you do what’s right.  When you live a life that honors Him, He has favor over you life.  It doesn’t take living in a  church 7 days a week to honor God. God watches our every move and our actions.  If you are genuine with you actions toward others, God favors you.  And the favor is in “you”.  If you  sow the wind, you will reap a whirlwind.  Don’t let people steal your joy if you have favor over you life.  Because remember, the favor is in you, and it follows you.  If someone puts you out of their environment, remember, they just said goodbye to their favor.  They thought they were hurting you, but they only hurt themselves because the favor of that environment also leaves, because the favor is in you, and now you take that favor with you.  When people wonder why you always land on your feet, let them know, “your favored”!

You are a prisoner because you hold yourself captive when you are afraid of your gift of favor! When you KNOW, God has you..then you won’t be afraid of anything or anyone.  God puts you through the fire, so you can walk out on fire.  On fire as in, you are ready for anything..you have a  burning in your soul to light up the world..you are ON FIRE!  So don’t worry about a thing when you know you live right, you trust God, and you have FAVOR!! Favor is not luck, favor is favor!

Start living that gift of FAVOR God gave you!

Love and Hugs,

“The Real Mommie Teresa”
