On July 28, 2010 my life had changed once again!

Shopping and Networking

I was sitting at work and Diane, my co-worker came up to me and said "I’m going to this financial seminar that is free, would you like to go"? The first thought that came to my mind was, how did she know I was just sitting there worrying about my own finances?  I looked at her like she was crazy! Diane just looked at me and said, "It looks like your thinking about coming with me". I knew this was a sign that it was now time for me to face one of my biggest fears which is facing my finances! I know we all have money issues but how many of us really face our financial fears head on?

I wanted to back out and say "NO I don’t want to go“! I couldn’t do it because I knew this was a sign that I needed to go! Something inside kept telling me this was all happening for a reason! So, I went reluctantly. The upside of going to this event is it was being held in a boutique! I got a little excited the whole time I was there I kept thinking  “Damn I wanted that summer dress the host of the event had on“, and the host said the dress only cost $57! Damn, I wanted that dress! I was getting so mad because I didn’t have 10 dollars in my pocket, this is “REAL TALK” right now!

The seminar was being held at House of Adrene in the Castleberry Hill fashion district in Atlanta. The boutique was filled with all the latest up to date fashions and the newest trends out there! At this event there was about 40 women and men in attendance. Of course everybody was fashionable dressed!

The star of the show had not arrived which gave Diane and me time to begin networking. There were also wine and juices being served and of course that help me with getting more talkative. I was meeting so many interesting people, and it seem liked they were all very interested in hearing about my blog. The only sad part was I didn’t have any business cards. I wasn’t going to let that stop me! Many of the women there seemed very interested in wanting to no more about my blog. Some of the ladies wanted me to write down the blog site on their own business cards! 


Before the “STAR” had arrived the host of the event ,still wearing my $57.00 dress, she introduces the owner of the boutique Adrene. After the host introduce Adrene; Adrene gave us a brief background of her life and what lend her to fashion world. Adrene is a fashion stylist for Kelly Rowland, Taraji P. Henson, Vivica Fox and countless others. It was really good to see this beautiful, down to earth black woman living her dreams! I started to feel empowered and knew everybody around Diane and I was also feeling the same way!

The event was suppose to start at 6:30 but you “N Time” and the event started at 7:15pm. When the star finally arrived she was a small petite lady, I thought to myself what is this little lady going to say? That’s when I found out that BIG gifts can sometimes come in small packages! The host that was wearing my $57.00 summer dress introduce  Mrs. Lynn Richardson, and from the second Mrs. Richardson opened her mouth, the way I look at my money and its use was changed forever!

Mrs. Lynn Richardson talking to the ladies!

Its funny how one person can transform your life and you don’t even know them! I felt that I learned so much from that one night, that I haven’t learned thus far! I’m only going to write about a few things that I feel will really caught my attention. The topics that were of supreme interest to me were:

NO IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE!
10/10/30/50 (Will Change your life forever)!
You cannot abuse money because it will always leave you!
We spend money and the rich people get it back!
Your children can be your income!    
Stop worrying about what people think of you “Are they paying your bills’?

Mrs. Lynn Richardson has a book out now called Living Check to Monday! CHECK IT OUT at www.lynnrichardson.com





 







Change cannot happen unless you are ready for it to happen! If your not ready I can also understand that, but how long will you allow your self not to be?

I’M NOW READY!

I had the opportunity of inviting Ms. Tee to this event and we connected at work together and she is such an outstanding woman. It's my pleasure to work with her on new adventures and projects. God places people in your life for reasons and what a joy and pleasure it is for me to connect with her.
