2017 Let's Get Started
As is my custom, I have been reviewing my life this week. I have become aware of the fact that everything, every situation that you go through shapes you; sharpens or softens you, the real you. I had good parents. They laid a good foundation. They made sure I was well grounded, respectful, humble and responsible. For these things, I will forever be thankful. Of course, they weren’t perfect, as no one is; and there are some things that really did some damage. I wish it wasn’t so, but that doesn’t change the facts. I may elaborate at a later time; as that isn’t the topic for today and relates only as an illustration. Thank God for Jesus! When you trust in Him, He restores you. This has been my experience and I want you to know that it is so freeing, so powerful. I feel true happiness and peace. Peace is a glorious thing. It allows you to not be distracted and focus on what is important for your life here now and later in the hereafter.
This is also my time to look ahead, ask God for guidance and influence and sit back, be still, and listen for divine inspiration and motivation. It always comes.
Then, it’s time to strategize, plan, and execute. This year marks a new beginning for me. This year will set the tone for this next decade. First order of business is to replace my current slave job income, which isn’t enough dollar for the time I must invest to do a great job. T accomplish this, I must increase income on my business. This is crunch time, it’s now or never, it’s do or die trying. Things are about to change in my world. One thing I have done is to relaunch Diana’s Space on its own platform. You can find your favorite online gift shop by pointing to Diana’s Space.
I am also working hard on my affiliate marketing efforts. Then there is also the expansion of WDGP to Internet TV which has to be delayed until later this year, but be sure, it is going to happen.
I am excited to think of all the possibilities, here we go!

Coming From There To Here (Stepping Out On Faith)
Wow, April 16, 2015 already! I never thought I'd be where I am today. The second day of no having to punch a clock and make money fr someone else. Today, it is all about my business. For years I have made money for others while just playing games with myself about taking my own ventures to the next level.
I consider myself a woman of faith, yet I seemed to be stuck, just dabbling in the water instead of taking that plunge. Was it age that gave me pause? When I was younger with small children and so much more to lose, I was bolder, I took chances and I didn't second guess myself or God's plan for me. I wasn't afraid. What happened? I can't claim fear yet I can I not. When I think of this I am reminded of a story I once heard.
The Drowning Man -
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
I had a long talk with myself and then I went to God. I do not want to be like the drowning man. I have to recognize His help when it arrives. He has given me so many opportunities to do better for myself and my Family. WDGP Radio, Children's World of Music, Simplicity Travel and so much more..... The out come of Our conversation is what you see now. I am putting "job" on the back burner right now. I am going to focus on my dreams, goals and desires. I am truly on "my" path. I have no one to prove anything to except myself. I am proving that I not only talk the talk but walk the walk. I trust God in all things.
Once I made the decision to let go of the status quo and do a new thing, I got so much confirmation. I have discovered a young woman who is not only as ambitious as I am but thinks just like me. Together we will do big things incorporating the things we love about life. Things like independent music, children, home schooling Black business, and the list goes on. I have time to work on my non-profit Children's World of Music and I have been asked to partner in some great opportunities. The future looks bright. Thank you Jesus!!

The Drowning Man -
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."
The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."
To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."
To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"
To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"
I had a long talk with myself and then I went to God. I do not want to be like the drowning man. I have to recognize His help when it arrives. He has given me so many opportunities to do better for myself and my Family. WDGP Radio, Children's World of Music, Simplicity Travel and so much more.....

So Much To Be Done... and Time Marches ON
Wow, February 11, 2015 already! It seems like just yesterday it was Christmas. Time is really moving and I have so much to do and so many decisions to make, that may head is spinning.
First, I have got to secure some grants so i can move on to the next stage for Children's World of Music. It is very important to my spirit and well-being that this organization flourish. I will need to give up my Nursing career entirely, due to my circumstances beyond my control. This is going to become my main employment venture because it will do work that will be good for my soul. I have always felt the need to help others and I think helping Children is the best way to do this. I want to have a safe place for Children to feel safe and secure enough to investigate their desires and allow us to help them make dreams come true, one note at a time. Any support given to us in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated.
We are in the planning stages for a couple of fundraising activity, the first to be held in the spring. Details as they become available. Thanks to all who have agreed to aid us.
Secondly, I have to make WDGP Radio be profitable again. This is something I need freedom from my current job to do. I want to re-launch or music download site as soon as possible. The music and the Artists are great, but we need more businesses to support via buying advertising on the station. If you are a small or home based business, please check out rates at WDGP .We are outstanding for USA based business and also great for any business with an international reach.
I thank God everyday for the vision I have, I know He will make it bigger than I can imagine. I am excited, optimistic, hopeful and yes there is some apprehension. However, I will not be stopped.I am ready to move my feet.

My Thoughts for today
I WROTE THIS BLOG POST JANUARY 10, 2010 and never published it, but it remains true today. I am still with this company. Please read it, take what you need from it and be be blessed-
All day I have been thinking , thinking about, well, everything. I am always talking about not putting your all your eggs in one basket. I am so right about that, 2009 has been a hard year for me. I was laid off twice. I am so blessed to have had the foresight to have built multiple streams of income. If you haven't at least started, take it from me, time is being wasted.
If you need a place to start, check out the Internet Marketer's Network. This is a business social network where you can review several different opportunities and find out more about them before you invest a dime.
I advise you to do your homework and be sure an opportunity is sound and you won't be stuck paying monthly fees and not making any profit. Of course you will have to work a bit before you start making money, but if it's been 5 or 6 months and your still in hole,it's time to try something else.
One of business models I use is Strong Future International. SFI is a great way to build multiple streams of income, even though they come together into 1 monthly payment. The best things about this company are:
1) They give you step by step instruction on how to become a success.
2) The information they share works for SFI and just about any other business you maybe involved in.
3) You can avail yourself of all they offer before spending a dime of your money.
Of course you understand that you can not make money without spending money, however, SFI give you tips to fit any budget. When I started with them in April of 2008, I had no budget to speak of. Since I did not have an advertising budget, I used all the free tips. This meant that I had to use more of my time to post ads and blogs all over the Internet. As soon as I could I brought business cards and doled those out to everyone I can in contact with and I even included them in correspondence. I want to let you know that I have been involved with many organizations, but SFI is the first company that paid me within 30 days of joining. SFI isn't the first company I tried, but they are the company I have been with the longest and they are the only company that I am still involved with to date. I do my own thing but stick with SFI because the continue to add more ways to build my income and I love seeing those direct deposits hitting my checking account every month.
Of course this is my experience, and that's not to say it will be your experience. However, you will get out of it exactly what you put in. These are my thoughts alone. They are not promoted by the company in anyway, but I do invite you to check it out for yourself.

What Do You Have To Give?
It’s been said that you cannot give away what you do not have. One of the most spiritual important insights or secrets in life is that you already have, and always have had, what you need to give away!
If you impart the message that ‘I am not worthy’ the universe will send it straight back in many shapes, forms and circumstances. When we say ‘give me’ we are imparting this message. We are saying we think we need to get something to complete ourselves or prove our worth. Most of us are taught to live a life of gimmie gimmie gimmie – always striving, desiring, wanting, struggling. We do so only because we think that when we get what we want we will be fulfilled and esteemed by others. But it’s an illusion. We are all already complete and worthy but we cannot know it and experience it, until we give it away!
Only giving allows us to know what we are and what we have within. Ask the question – how can I serve? The intention to serve will point you towards what you need to give. If the intention is real it also generates the will. The most successful people in life are not go getters, but go givers!

2012 Ending ...2013 Beginning
Wow, can you believe we are approaching the end of the year? Time certainly flies. As I reflect on the past year, I have much to be thankful for.
1. I was able to bring my vision into creation. Children's World of Music was created.
2. I am continuing to create this children's music and arts program, currently seeking a space to get started.
3. WDGP radio is thriving. I have Artists contacting me to book on the show Conversations.
4. Even without a job for the last year and a half I was able to keep WDGP up and growing and was able to get Children's World of Music incorporated and registered for non profit status.
5. After being without employment for a year and a half, I am in the perfect job that allows me to make money and grow my personal businesses.
6. My Family is healthy and Happy (for the most part)
7. I have started a new business in which proceeds will assist Children's World of Music.
There is much more in my blessings column but these are what I am most thankful for.
As I look forward and plan for next year, I am humbled and excited to have spoken my dream into existence. I will be looking for space as I plan fundraisers and seek out Music and dance instructors and seek a music store connection.
I will be growing my coffee business
so I can get into profit and give 30% to Children's World of Music. You all can certainly help me with this one. I know you drink coffee, coffee drinks, tea or hot chocolate, even if you don't, I know you know someone who does. Instead of spending good money on extravagant coffee at Starbucks and McDonald's why not drink great coffee that more healthful and benefits others. You might even want to join me in business since we all know we need more than a JOB to make it these days. Please stop by my website and see if anything interest you and most definitely refer others. Remember 30% of profits go directly to Children's World Of Music the rest go back into building my business. If you see me, ask me for a sample.
Stay tuned to watch our progress in 2013. God Bless and Happy Holidays to you and and yours. Please take time to enjoy life. Please see links below.
