The Grace of God

Let The Grace of God Wrap Around Our World

14430052851_95320aab48_b.jpg
You know, I don't think anyone would argue the point our world is in chaos. We are overrun with crime, mass-shootings, drugs, hunger, homelessness, despair, depression, hate, racism, bias, and too much to even mention. Peace has turned to unrest and trust into mistrust. I my self have asked the question during the News, "What in God's name is happening to our world?"
 
As I pondered on this philosophical question I started seeing amazing things that were happening as well in the world. Things that are blocked out by negativity. 
 
There was one story of two officers stopping to help an injured dog that was hit by a car. While they were showing kindness to the dog which was beyond their actual duties, another car struck their patrol car, the officers were in the right place at the right time to not be injured. This is one of those overlooked miracles we often lay off to be a stroke of luck. 
 
Then there was the Government Shutdown that has hurt so many. Once you look past that you see all the goodness and kindness coming from everywhere to help those in need. I looked on in amazement, how people banded together and it didn't matter what color or religion they were it was just people helping other people. I saw an unusual thing like people actually talking and hugging rather than texting and sending an emoji hug. It was at this point I wondered if maybe, just maybe...
 
The Grace of God was in control. Does it take these disastrous messes to band us together, to be kind to one another, help one another? It could be if we would be every day to one another like we are when disasters happen, there just might not be so many disasters. Think about it.
 
Blessings to you and all those lives you touch,

What Does Drowning People and Marketers Have in Common?

They

do-not-give-up-2015253_960_720.jpg
If you look you will find that every success story is preseeded by at least one but most often several fails. Failure is not a failure until you call that failure quits. It almost seems that failure is the passage right to success. When the drowning person starts drowning, they don't throw up their hands and quit they fight harder and that is exactly what marketing is all about. It's not that one person is better suited to it than another, it's not that one person is smarter than another it is the determination that will keep you afloat so you can reach your shore of success in marketing!
 
Bless you and all the lives you touch,

When You Vow to Never Stop Until Success Comes

Married to Marketing

marketing%2Band%2Bmarketer.jpg
Marketers and Marketing are much like the union between two people in a marriage. The very courtship of both is comparable.
 
There is the meeting of the two, the falling in love with big hopes and dreams of new beginnings. It is new, it is exciting, it's romantic without thought of the pitfalls, disappointments and sometimes disillusions. All these things are not isolated to marriage. It is also the courtship between Markers and Marketing. 
 
 Sadly, the outcome of reality is also comparable between these two. Marriage normally is settled either with a divorce or it's worked out because the two people involved love, respect and see the value of the other person. This is also true in the Marketer and Marketing relationship.
 
What you need to know about both of these relationships is that at some point the disillusions, pitfalls, and disappointments, do come. The new DOES wear off and that's when the work begins, it is at this point you will peel back the layers of unreasonable expectations, roll up your sleeves and get down and get busy or...
 
You will fold like a cheap lawn chair, you will end up divorced, bitter, fearful of other relationships or your dreams of being financially free and give up on marketing, owning your own business and your dreams will be laying right there in the dirt where your lawn chair left you seated when it folded up.
 
In marriage, the advice I always give people in love is: "You don't marry the one you can live with, you marry the one you CAN NOT live without. The same thing goes for your relationship with marketing. 
 
If you can't vow to never stop until your success comes then you have no business in Marketing at all! Marketing is not something you can live with it too has to be something you can not live without.
 
Good luck in all you do.
Coach Boston

The Devil's Crow-Bar

The Devil's Crow-Bar

3818738199?profile=original

Have you ever notice the closer you get to God, the bigger crow-bar the devil comes up with to pry you away? Maybe it's money problems, losing your job, maybe it's a sickness. It could be the devil has figured out when things go wrong we tend not only to pull away from God but to actually (blame) him for the negative. There is no doubt in our world good and evil exist, we have good times and we have bad times that's just a fact of life. We must learn to separate the two. We know God is a great and loving God, we also know that the devil is evil and deceptive. God knows that we mess up unfortunately so does the devil. God cradles us in his arms and provides answers, healing and shows us the way. The devil just laughs and keeps on prying with his evil crow-bar. Don't let the devil pry you from your loving God's arms, fight back by believing more, praying harder, digging down to your roots so nothing can pry you away. 
 
Bless you and all those lives you touch,

Success is The Product of Refusing to Fail

Success is The Product of Refusing to Fail

not an option

There is a reason these guys wear a mask it's because they are bandits pure and simple. Not only are they bandits they are GOOD bandits. These guys will not give up, they have not a clue what failure even is and they are so focused there is no way they can fail. We live in the country and seem to collect animals. The word is out in critter-ville if you show up the Boston's will feed you. We keep a bag of cat food on the back porch to feed the cats outside. We were keeping it in a nice plastic container with a tight lid, or so we thought. Suddenly the top of the container would be open every morning. My husband caught two of these masked bandits one morning when he took the pup out, they were in the feed. These two are huge! Then the battle began...

We made sure the top was secure, the next morning it was up again, then we shut it and put a gallon of windshield wash on top, the next morning it was open. Fine, we were NOT going to be outsmarted by a critter, so we actually put a two-wheel dolly on top of it. The next morning they had removed the dolly, opened the container and apparently ate their fill. Let me just say, "I can't even lift this thing!" Everything we have done has failed! Every problem we have put in front of them they have solved regardless. Their success is the product of them refusing to fail! 

Success is meeting problems head on figuring them out, not giving up ever and, when you do this your success will be the product of you refusing to fail.

What Makes You Great? How to Succeed in Life

What Makes You Great? How to Succeed in Life

call-me-crazy-but-i-love-to-see-people-happy-25102227.png
This picture pretty much sums it up but I will dig a bit deeper. 
 
First what makes someone great? It isn’t in who they are, what they have, or what they have done. Greatness comes in the form of putting others before yourself. 
 
To be a great leader you first must learn how to follow, to be a great follower you must at times take the lead and be a great leader. Whichever you are more proficient at the key to both is putting people before yourself, your needs and your wants.  Your success in life or in business is not a competition, it is always a journey you take with others. What good is Greatness if there is no one else around. How can you possibly succeed without others? 
 
Put other people’s happiness and success before yours and there are no limits to how great you can be or how successful.
 
May your goodness pave the way for others, blessings to you and all those you will touch throughout your life.

Raising Your Business is Like Raising a Child

Raising Your Business is Like Raising a Child

(Title: by Camille Cameron)

5147979171_3e89e09d47_b.jpg
Your business is just like raising a child. What made me think of this post was an online friend of mine Camille Cameron commenting on a blog post I had done. Her words of wisdom were just too great to let it pass. Not only were they great they were so true an also an analogy I had never really thought about before. 
 
At some point, you decide you want a child. There is then the conception and/or acquiring your business. Your business is just like an infant it's new, it's tiny and some time will pass before the child/business can stand on its own. You will love and nurture your business just as you would a child because it is your child. What I noticed in this picture that seemed so appropriate is the ATM machine behind the man with the baby. Many times when a person gets so excited about having a baby as well as a business they don't stop and think about the cost. If you plan on either one you need to be able to provide for both. If you think you can do either one without putting out money, you should scrub the whole idea of doing either.
 
I don't think there is anyone in their right mind that would tell you "Join parenthood it's easy and it requires no money or credit card and you can accomplish it in a week, month or year." People, please! However, you will find more than enough scammers and unethical sponsors out there that will tell you those very words about starting a business, to which again I say, "PEOPLE PLEASE!" 
 
You might think I don't want anyone in my business talking like this, not true I would love to have every single one of you that want to own your own business and work online with me, but I"m not going to lie or be unethical to convince anyone! My mom, "God rest her soul raised me better." What I want for you or anyone that makes the decision to own their own business on or offline is for you to not get taken by the scammers and unethical people. 
 
Bless you and all those lives you touch,

Don’t TELL ME Words Don’t Hurt

3818738281?profile=original

A very long time ago I enlisted in one of the military services. We arrived at Boot Camp, got off the bus and were showed our dwellings for the next 8 weeks. The walls were OD green, many won’t know what that means but trust me it’s the most depressing green you have ever seen on a wall. The floors were dark brown and the lighting would have made any Haunted house proud. We came in the door to a large room (presumably the living or visiting room) and continued following one of the Drill Sargents down a narrow hall to our bunk assignments. There was one girl in the lead that suddenly FREAKED OUT! This girl started screaming “I want out of here NOW, this is like a tomb and I’m not staying, that “GodD” Flag doesn’t mean a damn thing to me.===>Read On

Why Are People Afraid to Try Marketing?

3818738018?profile=original
People are afraid of Marketing for a few reasons. The one coming in at first place is fear of scams. There have been a lot of people taken advantage of online over the years (this author included). Scams are a bad thing and we all know that something bad travels a lot faster than something good. Therefore most people hearing the word Marketing think of all the horror stories they have heard which fires their fears. What they don't hear of are those that made it in Internet marketing and work 100% from home as I do, these are the stories that fall away in the face of the scam stories. 
 
Coming in at second is the failure. Failure====>Read more

Do you ever get depressed, down and out, feel there is no way out? Do you feel like it’s too late for you? 
 
The only time it’s too late for you is when they throw that last shovel of dirt over your face! We are offered the chance each and every day to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others.
 
I want to challenge you right now, “When you get down and depressed go out and smile at every person you see.” Two things are going to happen...equipment-2047314_960_720.jpg

In years past the Baby Boomer Generation controlled the major buying market but as they have aged the Millennials are catching up. The Baby Boomer Generation spans the years from 1946 – 1964. The Millennials span is 1980's to 2000. Naturally, there is a difference in what each generation faced which has greatly influenced what they purchased.

Baby Boomers were born in a less technical generation. They grew up in a more serious era than did the Millennials due to the Viet Nam War. The Boomers left home earlier, married earlier and bore children earlier than Millennials. In addition, the push for college was much less than it is for the Millennials, (possibly due to all the blue collar jobs available at that time.) and though it is true college cost much less back in the day than it did during the Millennials era pay was much lower. The conclusion is college was never inexpensive and each generation has its own set of problems.

Today you have the Baby Boomers facing retirement based on income earned from a generation of low pay making the social security return much lower than it would be now. This leaves the Boomers wondering if social security will be enough. Many have had to continue to work way past retirement time to make ends meet. 

The Millennials are facing Student loan debt so high, in reality, they may have to use some of their retirement money to repay the loans. As for generation Z, Most have to have a full scholarship, work to help pay for college, or incur college debt the size almost equal to the National Debt! The answer for all three of these generations not simple but imperative and that is to do their best to find extra income.   

Three different generations with three different issues but one problem.

Anger and Hate Demand The Death of Empathy

Anger and Hate Demand The Death of Empathy

empy.png

The building of Anger and Hate demands the death of Empathy, because, through the death of Empathy is the only way Anger and hate can live and grow. When you are capable of Empathy it's like having a built-in weed killer. Empathy eradicates Hate an Anger before it can grow therefore the first thing Anger and Hate attacks is your Empathy. When you start losing the ability to understand how others feel the weeds of Anger and Hate take over and they do it as fast as the weeds in your yard. If left untreated your yard turns into nothing but the weeds.

Don't let the flower that is your soul be choked out by the weeds of blackness called Anger and Hate. Spray those weeds with love and understanding. These weeds of blackness like the ones in your yard keep coming back too so stay on top of it just as you do your yard.

May you bless all those lives you touch today,

Susan

The Murder of a Child What's Your Reaction?

3818737504?profile=original

Sherin Mathews the 3 year old that died here in North Texas of what now has been determined a Homicidal Violence case. For those that might not know about this case Sherin was adopted by the Mathews couple who also has a biological child of their own. The explanation (after) the body was found was questionable being that cause of death was from being force fed milk and choking to death. the autopsy came back and was released today as Homicidal Violence. From what I have heard and read about this is the ultimate in the system letting this little girl down. Sadly enough there is still the question if they (the parents) should have the biological child taken away for good. This is where you come in because I would like very much for you to go to my blog and comment your thoughts on this matter.====>Read and React

 Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things...

If not God then who?

7403150-3x2-700x467.jpg
This Sunday morning I am looking for the person that is not sure what they believe about God and Religion. Is this person you? If it is I hope you will take a minuet and read the rest...
 
It's not hard to find those that believe in God you see them all the time because they are not ashamed to speak out, they have their religion. But what about those that don't know what to believe? These are the people that question or doubt that there is a God. Then you have those that do believe in God but they can't totally agree with any one religion. Many times these are the people that feel they should go to a church but can't because in each religion there are things they agree with and then there are those things they don't agree with and again these are the people I want to reach out to this morning.
 
The Universe to me is the church. It doesn't take much when you look at things like the picture up there to start to believe that yes there is a God and he is a good God. When you look at this picture how else can you explain the wonders in the Universe other than a supreme being? Regardless of what different religions call their (God), the ultimate wonder of our Universe tells your soul there is an Alpha and Omega. Hundreds of thousands of years ago people did not have these pictures or even have a clue there was something beyond the place they lived yet they believed. Now we are privy to what is far from Earth and still some don't believe. This baffles me that one can look at the beauties of the Universe and have any question at all of there being a God.
 
Worlds-Most-Beautiful-Places-1.jpg
the-most-beautiful-gardens-all-over-the-world-wallpapers-1920x1080.jpg
If you are one of the people that I am seeking this morning and you at times feel you should be in church on Sundays and Wednesdays but can't find the right religion for you I suggest you look to the World around you and above you for all that you see is the spiritual wonder that is your religion. You my friend (are) the church. The building where people gather is not the church it's just a building the church is within those people, it's within you.
 
No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing you can pray and that prayer goes straight to God's ear. The things that you pass up everyday the tress, grass, sun, moon, stars and all that lives, all that is beautiful is where God lives mostly he lives in your heart.
 
All God needs to enter your heart is an opening of faith the size of a Mustered Seed. Are you now wondering if you have that much faith? Well you are reading this aren't you?
 
 
May you bless all those lives you touch each day,

A Precious Gift

It is a time of precious giving, giving of the only gift that can't be bought or wrapped; it's the giving of a gift greater than any amount of money can buy.

 

 

This season don't sweat the extravagant gifts you think that loved ones want or desire, give of yourself instead. As you age you won't remember the gifts but you will always remember===Read more
