YOU Matter!

Self-talk is the most powerful type of communication in the world. We are our greatest critic. How we talk to ourselves matters, our thought life matters, and who we see in the mirror matters! It reflects how we value ourselves and our self-worth. Who do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a person of value, one who is a daughter or son of God? Or do you see failure and regret? I believe we all have moments and events in life that shape our thinking and we start to believe the lies this world tells us about ourselves. But there is a way to take back the control and that’s with daily affirmations. Daily affirmations help you to reprogram your brain to see someone of value looking back at you in that mirror. So, for each negative thought you have about yourself today, write down and say the opposite of how you feel. For example: You may think “I am not enough, you write and say out loud “I am enough”, you may think “I am not a good leader”, you say “I am a great leader”, you may think “I am not worthy”, you say out loud “ I am worthy”. Do this each morning and be intentional, take back the control and be a priority in your own life. James Allen once said “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where our thoughts take you”…….. So, where is it, you want to be tomorrow? Before you answer that remember….. YOU matter!

Mastermind Groups

YOU are your greatest asset! Knowing this, you need to ask yourself, do you have a growth plan for personal and professional success? If not, lets talk. Each and everyone of you need to have a growth plan in place, if you want to experience a life of significance.

I am facilitating a new series of Mastermind groups starting next month to kick off the spring season! Here are some of the topics:

1. Personal Growth

2. Communication and Connection

3. Leadership 

4. Intentional Living

I will keep you all posted on the date, time, and cost of the mastermind groups. 

The mastermind groups are offered via teleconference and in person! Contact me if you are interested!

Monday's

So many hate Monday's but I simple don't. To me, Monday symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate from last work weeks mistakes. I love Mondays because God gave it to me. I look at it as another day that God has blessed me with in order to use me as his vessel and to be a blessing to others. So instead of complaining about Monday and wishing our weekend was longer... Smile... It's a New Day!

#mondaysmatter

I am feel so blessed that my Intentional Living Books came in. Now its time to get a Master Mind Group Scheduled. 
If anyone is interested, I am a Coach, Trainer, and speaker with the John Maxwell Program and I would be happy to discuss setting up a Lunch and Learn or even a Master Mind Group Training on Leadership and Growth Development for you or your staff.

Starting my Journey

I'm beginning my journey with The Alchemist, the book on Wisdom. I'm looking forward to each step along the way..... 

2015 Book Club Begins

Greetings, 

I know its been a while however, Stimulate My Mind is going to start up our book club again for 2015. As we dive into a few exciting books, we will also post our discussion questions/answers and write a review on the book the group completes. Our first meeting will be April 18, 2015. These postings will be quarterly therefore stay tune!

The first book on our list is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Blurb:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.

The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this book as well in the comments below!

The Parables of a Single Mother is now available!

The Parables of a Single Mother by Dr. Sophia Miranda, is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble

Blurb

The Parables of a Single Mother allow single parents to relate to the stories within this book. Parenthood is difficult and at times can feel impossible when raising children on your own. However, when knowing your purpose anything is possible and when you know the Lord all the impossible becomes possible.

We are all on this journey called Life. Our past, our failures, and life events shape who we are and form who we will become. However, it is up to us to decide which road we take to create a life that we are living on purpose, one with joy in our hearts. It is our job to create peace through changing our mindset and God has given us the tools to accomplish this simple yet complex desire in life. So here I leave you with the Parables of a Single Mother….
