Testimony from Angelia Vernon Menchan

I have spent most of my life as a spiritual girl, giving thanks and praises for the blessed life I live. I attend church, work in a ministry and always try to be supportive of community issues. However, I was never sure what my ‘ministry’ was. I have always had a rapport with young people, even spending three years as a Job Corps Counselor. Most recently I found myself ‘talking’ to a continuing stream of young women, mentoring them if you will. But until I penned my latest book, Is No Not Clear Enough For You?, I never knew what my calling was.

I had written four books and had become accustomed to people saying my words touched them, but it never felt like it made a difference. But once my readers started contacting me about Is No Not Clear Enough for You? and saying things such as, ‘this book changed me’, ‘made me reevaluate my spirituality’ and 'my daughter and I communicate better', I realized what it was to have a mission and a ministry.

To be able to sit in church, seeing people thumbing through the book and have family members and friends spread the word in ways they never had before has been joyous. Not only that, but to also have people contact me, without solicitation, and ask me to talk about my work has been a true blessing and affirmation that I am working in the right direction. I will stay in continual prayer, asking God to guide me through this and allowing myself to be used in the most beneficial way.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner. By building up a lactic acid tolerance, muscles become stronger while building up someone's endurance. When applying this kind of aerobic training to the human body, the pyramid system is a base model for the workout routine.
