Sistah's Blog

I have the pleasure to sit down with some awesome authors from my Entertainment Blog platform Sistah's Place Entertainment Author Showcase  to talk with national and indie authors.  There are some amazing authors that share their beautiful talents and gifts through storytelling. The stories take you on this amazing journey of laughter, encouragement, love, excitement, and suspense.  There are so many book genre's one can choose to read from but why choose just one?  Try something from all of the genres as you may discover a few that you love, hate, and enjoy. Welcome to my weekly list of books to read.   I find that it's amazing when you discover an indie author or national best selling author who writes about something that you enjoy reading and can relate to.  You might like hot romance novels, christian fiction, horror fiction, thriller novels, inspiration,empowerment, or self-help novels.  Reading is stimula...

Can you believe this is the last day of January for the first month of 2016? I want to encourage you to go into February with a determined mindset to make 2016 better than 2015.  Don't just have goals, resolutions, and a vision board done.  You need to have a plan of action to implement these goals  and bring your dreams to life.  Let's rise up with action that will help us to complete our goals and reach our dreams.  Do you need a little inspiration?  Listen to Andra Day beautiful song Rise Up.  YouTube video Find your theme for this year and play it as a reminder to Rise up and walk into your purpose in 2016.  It's time for you to rise up, stand up, and have a positive impact on someones life.  You were born with a special gift inside of you waiting to be birthed.  I encourage you to tap into that gift and talent in 2016 to let your light shine.  This is your year to walk into your purpose and destiny....
